Longing -- The Flowing River of Life

To ommemorate the jubilant and glorious annual event of Supreme Master Ching Hai Day, I would like to share a precious experience I had on October 25, 2002. That year, to observe this unique holiday, Philippine initiates gathered as usual to participate in a group meditation session. After meditation, I hesitated to leave the meditation hall and instead sat in a chair staring at Master's photograph on the wall because it seemed as though Master was smiling at me. I looked at Her with fascination, and suddenly felt a clear, blue river of energy flowing into my eyes. So I turned to look at the painting Longing, which was hanging near the photo, and perceived that the river depicted in the piece was flowing! I was shocked because it was part of Master's art work and not a real river, but somehow the water seemed to be running.

Since early childhood, I have always appreciated art, poetry and nature. So I love all of Master's poems and paintings because to me, each one has a different and profound meaning. I often contemplate Master's art works, and at such times experience a strong, wonderful, gentle and comfortable feeling such that I want to touch them and hold them close to see.

Master's love and blessing are powerfully present in everything that She owns or produces. And when we concentrate, we can see that all these objects are full of life and energy.

Thank You, Master, for blessing me with a worry-free existence and giving me the Quan Yin Method, a supreme technique possessed of infinite power, which I know I can attain if I work diligently.
