Words From A
Practicing Mother

I like to read Master's aphorisms, and take heart in copying them into a book which I always carry with me. In the course of practice in daily life, when I am faced with pains and sorrows, or am wrongly accused, am obstructed, and so on, at the appropriate moment, they always, give me inspiration and encouragement, and comfort my soul. They correct the bad habits that I have accumulated through many lifetimes, as well as my worldly, distorted concepts. I always feel glad that when I was first initiated, although I did not have time to absorb many of Master's teachings, She had already instilled a peaceful state in me, allowing me to naturally use Her flexible method.

It is because of this method, that I have a family of fellow practitioners who are filled with laughter each day, are concerned for one another, and also allow me to have a work environment that is seldom filled with pressure.

Before I was initiated, I had a very short temper. I often quarreled with my husband and hit my children. After initiation, following Master's teachings and instructions, and with Her blessings, I have imperceptibly become gentler. Over time, communications, patience, and prayers have taken the place of arguments. Through Master's compassionate love, I have calmed my quick temper. Also, I have done my best to take better care of my family, and do not force Master's teachings on them.

But in the course of daily life, Her words have been integrated casually, light-heartedly, and naturally into their consciousness. I patiently have left them as tinder, waiting for them to kindle by themselves one day.

Over time, sure enough, I have discovered that my husband has picked up Master's books on his own to read. Because he feels it is really incredible that his strong willed wife has stopped arguing with him, and instead often sits silently by herself for many hours a day.

Recently, my husband was preparing for a special examination for the position as an officer in the justice department. However he could often be seen reading Master's books, which he had placed on top of his exam text books. Before sitting for the examination, he had already decided to be initiated.

One day, when I was straightening our eldest daughter's bed, I was surprised to discover a large group of Master's pictures under her pillow. I don't know when she had quietly fallen in love with Master. She could not hold back and happily told me that Master was very bright and beautiful, that Master took her to play up in heaven, and even came at night to her cover with her blanket. Also, her mathematics achievement originally was not very good. Yet after initiation, her mind started to develop, and she is now considered an excellent math student. Her test results are consistently at the top of her class.

Because my health had not been good and I had been ill for years, my small daughter often saw Master's manifestation body come to take care of her and keep her company. Now she is completing kindergarten, and is preparing to be half initiated. On Mother's day at Hsihu Center, she said, "Mother, after initiation, I will definitely meditate diligently!"

I deeply thank Master. In my long years of illness and pain, I have neglected to take care of my family and my children and yet Mother Master has quietly assumed my responsibilities. Not only has Master constantly taken care of my small daughter's life, but also has taught her inner soul.

Master is the Mother of the whole universe, Mother of my little daughter, and also the Mother of you and me.
