Happy Light

By sister initiate Phuong Nguyen, Oregon, U.S.A. (Originally in English)

Five years ago, I had a dream in which a beautiful, chubby little boy came to hug me and introduce himself to me, saying "Hello, Mama, my name is Quang Hi." I smiled at him and replied: "Sorry, Mama is too busy to keep you." But he kept playing around me. When I woke up the next morning, I missed the little happy boy very much, and wished to see him again and again in my dreams!

A few months later, my sister-in-law, who is also one of Master's disciples, became pregnant and found out that she was going to have a boy! I told her that it must be the boy in my dream who had a happy face and chubby cheeks. And he looked like a little monk without any hair. At first, my sister-in-law did not believe me. But to my surprise, he was born on my birthday, was named Quang Hi (Happy Light), and looked exactly like the little boy in my dream. It turned out that I had to baby-sit him during the day due to his parents' work schedule.

Happy Light is now four-and-a-half years old. He is a happy little boy, just like his name suggests. And he addresses my husband and me as "Mama and Papa." Through us, he has learned about Master and has even asked about initiation. He saw Master in Fresno, California for the first time and was very curious about why his two cousins had initiation ID cards but he didn't. After we explained the situation to him, he realized that he had to wait two more years before he could receive half-initiation.

On the night of Christmas Eve 2001, Quang Hi knew that we were going to see Master in Florida the following day, and asked his father to write a message to Her on his behalf before he went to bed. His message was, "I love You, Master." At four-and-a-half years of age, he often asks about Master and God when he is with us. We encourage him to watch Master's videos and listen to Her chanting tapes. Through all of this, we know that he is getting blessings from Master. He is very pure and wise when he is close to Master's disciples. One day I asked him, "Why are you a vegetarian?" and he answered, "Because Master taught us to be vegetarians. Besides, we have to love dogs and cats."

Sometimes maintaining the physical and spiritual well-being of children is not easy. However, Master's teachings give parents directions about being good examples for their children. We are very grateful for Master's guidance in all aspects of our lives, including parenting.
