All My Wishes Have Come True
 

Since my initiation, I have meditated diligently and kept the Five Precepts while studying Master's teachings as much as possible. Her words, which are deeply ingrained in my mind, have greatly lessened my tendencies toward greed, anger and infatuation. Whatever the situation might be, I am no longer worried or anxious as I was in the past because now I understand that everything is caused by karma. So I am always reminding myself to keep my actions, speech and thoughts pure. As a result, everything has been going smoothly with my life and work, and I feel very happy.

In addition, I have come to realize that Master arranges and takes care of everything for me, making all my wishes come true. For example, I remember that She once sent a Quan Yin messenger to my hometown for an initiation session, and on seeing the messenger I was overjoyed as if I were seeing Master Herself. Also, I deeply hoped that my mother could learn the Convenient Method after the initiation, but she missed the opportunity due to her poor health and the intense heat that day. Then after the Quan Yin messenger left, I felt great pity for my mother and wished that he could return to our area, and sure enough he did so two days later. I was overwhelmed with joy and felt I were in a dream as he taught my mother the Convenient form of meditation in a one-on-one session. Thank You, Master, for having such great compassion and love that You fulfilled my mother's and my wish!

I learned afterwards that the Quan Yin messenger had actually returned to see another contact person who happened to be away from home, and so came to visit me instead. I am deeply grateful for Master's perfect arrangement!

Also, after my initiation, I recited the Holy Names daily as often as possible but always felt I was not saying them very accurately and thought in my heart, "How wonderful it would be if Master could someday teach us the Holy Names Herself!" Shortly afterwards, my wish again came true as one evening during the international retreat in Thailand in October 1997, Master patiently repeated the Holy Names over and over with the participants as if we were Her primary school students, and we were all immersed in the ocean of infinite love.

On the path of spiritual development, I feel that Master is with me every second of the day, knows every thought that arises in my mind and every word that I speak, and always makes the best arrangements for me.

Dear Master, I know no way to repay Your great benevolence and grace but to practice more diligently. I will do my best to manifest our inner Heavenly glory so as to express my gratitude to You.
