About one or two
months ago, I had a dream in which Master was dressed gracefully and walking
up through a crowd that lined Her path. Her face looked very rosy, but I didn't
know why. In the dream, I was leaning on one side of Master's car. Holding my
chin in my hands, I looked at Master and pondered: "Master, why is your
face so rosy?" When I woke up from the dream, I still could not answer
this question. As time went by, the question faded from my mind. Nevertheless,
having dreamt of Master made me feel contented, and sweetened my life.
In February, I
went to Florida, USA. There I finally saw Master, whom I hadn't been able to
see for a long time. Thank God for fulfilling my longing. That night, Master
was dressed beautifully. Oh, my God! Was that the manifestation of Master that
had come into my dream one or two months earlier with the same attire? I couldn't
believe it! Then my memory brought back to me the same unanswered question:
"Why did Master's face look so rosy in my dream?"
On Lunar New Year's
Eve, I worked as one of the kitchen staff. We concentrated on making rice dumplings,
leaving no room for me to think about other things, though the red color of
the dumplings seemed to remind me of something. On New Year's Day, Master invited
all the working staff members to a dinner and asked the kitchen staff to prepare
more rice dumplings. When rolling the red dumplings (which symbolize family
reunion), the image of red envelopes (which symbolize luck and prosperity in
the New Year) also came to my mind. As I continued to roll the red dumplings,
I found the answer to my question in my hands.
