While On The Path
The Mahayana Method Of Practice
The Method That Nurtures A Loving Heart And Enchances Self-Confidence
The Pure Land That Is Full Of Real Love
By Fellow Initiate Xiangen Wang, Shinchu, Formosa
Although I am the only person in my family
who has been initiated, Master's grace have been bestowed upon all of
them.
Ever since I got initiated and began practicing with Master, the
atmosphere in my home has become more and more peaceful and positive.
My parents have also become more loving and open than before. My
mother was very stout. When she needed surgery for her eye disease,
she found that she had serious diabetes and her blood sugar was twice
as high as the average diabetic. Even her doctor was surprised that
she had been well. However, after a very short period of time, her
blood sugar came right down to the level of a normal person. Of
course, this was due to Master's help. The more interesting thing was
that her weight was also reduced during this very short period of
time to almost normal. The effect was so positive that even the most
famous weight-reducing organization was also surprised and amazed.
Recently, my grandmother, who lived with my uncle, had a spinal nerve
injury due to an accident and checked into a hospital. She could not
move the lower half of her body. When I went to the hospital to visit
her, her mind was not clear and her face looked withered and yellow.
She looked like she was about to die at any moment. After checking out
of the hospital, she moved into our home to be nursed. Only several
days after she had moved in, grandmother's face regained color and
her mind became very clear. She not only recognized me, but also
remembered our little puppy's name.
There are too many other miracles to tell. For example, Master warned
my sister at midnight to turn off her gas stove, because the water in
the kettle had already completely evaporated. Also, once when I was
riding a motorbike, it slipped and I almost fell into a water ditch.
However, a hidden power suddenly set my bike upright so that I
escaped disaster without any injury. Another time, as I was planning
to go to a fellow brother's home far away in Wushe for some medicine,
he miraculously appeared in front of the Center's meditation hall,
bringing with him the herbal medicines that I needed.

These stories are all based on my external experiences. As far as my
inner experiences are concerned, directly or in making use of
external objects, Master, in Her transformation body, always reminds
me of my many shortcomings. She lets me see clearly my unconsciously
formed habits. Once, when I was in anguish and feeling helpless,
Master's transformation body appeared in my dreams almost every night
to comfort me; She even went for a walk and talked with me. One time,
I remember She sat on a crescent moon, singing an English song to
encourage me, "If I can overcome the obstacles, you can do it in the
same way." Before the song was finished, I had already woken from my
dream crying.
Since my initiation, each time that I have remembered that, I have
gradually changed from a person who was selfish and arrogant and did
not care about others, to one who is loving and understands how to
self-cultivate. I feel that I am very, very fortunate, especially when
I see that the people around me have gradually changed through
Master's power and have become more noble and loving. I am very
thankful to Master for letting me have an opportunity to help others,
and to come to this world to learn and witness God's loving light.
Although on the journey of my spiritual practice I often encounter
setbacks and tests, as long as I think of my progress and the people
that can benefit from it, I feel that everything is worth it. Thank
You, Master.

Many years ago, I was greatly interested in searching for the meaning
of life. My mind was often occupied by insolvable problems like: Where
do I come from, where am I going to, etc.
After passing through the ups and downs from days to months; tasting
the innumerable happiness, sourness, bitterness and difficulties in
life; seeing the disasters brought on by wars, extinguishing numerous
lives; I yearned for the real meaning of life. I thought that religion
would give me the perfect answer. However, I have attended so many
sermons, Buddhist study seminars and courses in the past years; and
also after meeting some spiritual persons, the questions in my heart
were still unsolved.
One day, by chance, I went through the Master's whole sample booklet
non-stop and in one breath, and watched several of Master's
videotapes. There was a sudden enlightenment in my heart. It was just
like this. At last, I found it!

The fantastic explanation of the vast universe by Master is really
flawless. Master is a true living Buddha, to save ignorant sentient
beings like us, so that we can return to the original Kingdom of God
or Pure Land. I have such a strong feeling towards Master that I asked
myself why did I not meet Her earlier.
Ever since I have received Master's compassionate initiation and
participated in the retreats, I realized more and more that the Quan
Yin Method delivered by Master is really supreme and wonderful. With a
truly sincere heart in practice and in action, I feel as if I have
entered a different world -- a world full of real love.

After initiation, I followed Master and practiced sincerely. There
were a lot of experiences. I have changed a lot, both within and
without. There was also the development of more intelligence and
talents. However, there were still some bad qualities disturbing me
that made me feel unhappy.
The more mischievous the mind was, the more I strengthened my faith
and consolidated my eagerness for the Truth, and convinced myself
that the only one that I could trust is Master! Through days and
months of grinding effort, I have changed! The rejecting and
disgusting sense of hatred has changed into concern. Preconceived
ideas became understanding and forgiveness. I deeply understood, by
experience, the loving reminder from Master: Use love to dissolve
karma and hatred. To love your enemy is real happiness.

It is really not easy to have this loving heart and wisdom! When I was
most disappointed and helpless, Master always expressed Her infinite
care and understanding to console, encourage and stand by me through
the excruciating difficulties to wait for the answer to come; and to
make me stand up again and keep my dignity and confidence.
Having lived through frightening events, the soul was simply too
tired. However, Master's love and wisdom changed the fate. Thank You,
Master, for giving me back my treasure in the Kingdom of God and the
dignity of life. To embrace the omnipotent Master is the one and only
method to nurture a loving heart and enhance self-confidence. The
