Unexpected Blessing

One Sunday as I was browsing around the exhibition areas in Hsihu, I came across something wrapped in plastic wrap on the counter. Out of curiosity I picked it up and realized that it was one of Master's belongings which was on sale for charitable purposes. I put it down quickly and went to have my meal.

Afterwards, I went to the forest meditation hall to meditate. Remarkably, I was able to do Quan Yin meditation continuously for two hours. After some thought, I realized that this great blessing power came from me touching Master's hand towel which was wrapped in the plastic wrap. Wow! Master's blessing power is quite inconceivable!

●Master's Chi-Kong

One afternoon during the "Mid Autumn 3-day Retreat", I was meditating in the Red Pavilion. After a short while, Master came down to give a discourse. The cool breeze was so soothing that it made me drowsy. My eye-lids closed and my head leaned to the side. I thought, "Master, I'd like to sleep and listen to You at the same time. Okay?"

I rested my head on my knees and fell asleep for just a moment. Master suddenly made two coughing sounds on stage. Although She was some distance from me, Her second cough carried such powerful "Chi", which rushed into my right ear and shook me up. I was immediately awakened to concentrate on Her lecture - not daring to doze off again. Master once said, "Every word of an enlightened master is very useful." In fact, Master is more than that. Even a cough from Master is very meaningful.
