One night, before going to sleep I meditated. In my meditation, Master
showed me the Celestial Jewelry bracelet inlaid with diamonds. The
glimmering gold set with brilliant dia- monds was so extraordinarily
unusual that it rocked my heart and soul. The positive vibration
emanating from it moved my being and warmed my heart.
In my meditation the day before the Celestial Jewelry exhibition, the
same bracelet was displayed before me; this time it was amidst the
vast, boundless uni- verse. The golden bracelet transformed itself into
a very long golden track. On the track, myriad twinkling planets lined
up in an orderly fashion, one after another. Master accompanied me to
visit the immense starry sea. The journey enlightened me more, and the
experience was incredible! Each one of the diamonds inlaid in the
bracelet represented a strikingly beautiful, self-radiating planet. A
golden track, like a traffic network, en- circled and revolved around
the planets tightly. This golden track symbolizes the inti- mate
brotherhood of the universe that can never be severed.
Master brought the Truth from the spiritual world into our material
existence, allowing me to understand the real meaning why She
designed the S.M. Celestial Jewelry -- it was because "we are all
one". She reminds me that the wisdom of our true Self is like a
diamond, forever brilliant and shining. The heart longing for the
Truth must be firm and stable. In handling matters of the world, we
have to be like the quality of gold, flexible, pure and tender. Then
we can flow harmoniously and be connected in any situation.

A while ago, I had a hard time finding a job; I wondered why I
was not able to find even a simple job, considering all my
work experiences. Later, I reluctantly accepted an offer to
teach an evening class for those who wanted to take supplementary
courses.
After taking this job, one day I took the opportunity to go and
meditate at the meditation center. During my meditation,
suddenly I was enlightened; the long time depressing knot in my
heart was finally untied. Invisibly I got a revelation: "I
will give love to others and take good care of those around
me."
That same day happened to be the Dragon Boat Festival Holiday. I
was thinking to myself that I was all alone, away from my
family. In past years, some fellow practitioners always
lovingly gave me some "zong zi" (a pyramidal shaped dumpling
made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves, usually eaten
during the Dragon Boat Festival) to eat, but this year it seemed
unlikely that I would have such good fortune. Unexpectedly, as I
was leaving the meditation center, a sister initiate on
guard duty stopped me and gave me a "zong zi". Immediately my
heart was filled with warmth; I was deeply touched that Master
was so attentive and caring of me -- She even had a "zong zi"
ready for me to celebrate the festival. I am so touched by
Master's meticulous love and more determined to try hard to
put Her teachings into practice.
That afternoon, after going back to work, a former colleague of
mine who had already left her job, came to visit me. With
excitement, she told me that she had a magical, yet vivid dream.
In the dream I brought her with me to go to visit Master, and we
went to a transparent and shining bright palace. Master
happily walked down the long staircase to receive us. She had
a graceful bearing and looked as young and beautiful as a girl in
her youth. Her hair was long and black; Her lips were rosy; Her
skin was snow white and translucent; and Her eyes were
big and fathomless.

Upon hearing her experience, I was deeply shocked -- this from
a person who had never known Master before! And yet was able
to have such a strong affinity with Her, all just because she
used to be the colleague of Her disciple. I immediately gave her
a copy of the Supreme Master News magazine I had on hand, wishing that her
affinity with Master would soon bear fruit.
Another colleague of mine who heard the story with me invited
me on that occasion to have dinner with her. During dinner,
she asked many questions concerning spiritual practice
and meditation. In our conversation, due to the
blessings from Master's inspiration, we talked very
congenially. Even I myself was surprised to discover that I was
able to explain such a string of hows and whys. Instantly, a wave
of inexplicable love filled my being, surging tempestuously
within me, leaving me shaken for a long time.
I left my job soon after. During
the period of time that I worked there, in addition to the
miraculous incidents of the above mentioned colleagues,
another colleague spontaneously decided to keep a vegetarian
diet. I came to the sudden understanding that, sometimes
temporary difficulties are not necessarily tests; we must
always keep our faith and think positively to allow Master to
make use of such opportunities to teach us and to enable us to
become efficient tools in spreading the message of the
Quan Yin Method. If we practiced more diligently, we would be
more able to receive Master's invisible messages. Thus, we
should be gentle and try to be more open in accepting various
situations in life, "adapting ourselves to different
circumstances without fear"!¸1 |

After the three-day retreat in Central South America, we organized a
special performance night. The programmes were very good and
interesting; the audience sometimes watched contemplatively and
sometimes laughed loudly. The whole Center was intoxicated in a
beautiful and peaceful atmosphere. This successful performance allowed
me to understand deeply that if anyone sincerely wants to perform for
God, Master and entertain the audience, Master will bless that person
thoroughly.
I was going to sing a song in the programme. On the night of the
performance, a wonderful power filled me completely, enabling me to
carry off a singing technique that I had never known before. The
feeling of longing for the other shore was expressed spontaneously
and completely. Fellow practitioners praised that I had sung well. I
myself was also surprised at how wonderful I had sung. It looked like
God had worked through me to sing this song because I had never known
this singing technique before.
Thinking back several years ago, in a ceremony of national royalty to
the Republic of China organized by the six Central South America
countries, I was arranged to sing a solo at the ceremony. The audience
was Chinese from all six countries of Central South America. Among the
audience were six ambassadors from the Republic of China.
Unfortunately, one week before the performance, I caught a very bad
flu, coughing non-stop. It was impossible for me to sing, but Master's
loving power was working on me although I had not yet been initiated.
I could only prayed in my heart, asking Her to help me finish the
performance. A wonderful miracle occurred: My voice range was better
than usual, louder and clearer! Even I myself could not believe it!
