Feature ReportsJust Like New Years Day
Narrated by
Child Initiate Chen, Taichung, Formosa
Written by His Mother
Each time when I saw other little children riding in Master's car, I really wanted very much to have a ride too. However, I dared not push with the crowd, fearing that Master might be too exhausted.
Each time on my way home, I felt very sad. No matter how my parents consoled me, I still thought that I was not good enough. Therefore, I meditated even more diligently, hoping to sit in Master's precious car one day.
When participating in the competition for the 'excellent little initiate' this time, my parents told me that an 'excellent little initiate' does not only behave nicely that day, but also everyday; even when my sister annoys me deliberately, I still must love her. They asked me if I could really do it. I thought I could, and was very happy to have the opportunity to participate in the competition. I specially reminded myself not to fall asleep during meditation on Saturday night, and extended the meditation time to one hour.
On Sunday, my mother dressed me up like a little gentleman, and reminded me to talk and walk like one -- to be worthy of being Master's good disciple. I was very nervous because there were many questions I couldn't answer well. I only wished to see Master, so I didn't mind though my legs ached after waiting in a squatting position for a long time.
My mother asked about my feelings when I received the prize from Master personally. I said I was very happy, very delighted, and very excited. She kept on asking. I don't know what else she wanted to know. Adults are really strange! Oh, I forgot. I realized then that Master loved me a lot, so I laughed even in my dream. Originally, I had the opportunity to ride in Master's little car that day. However, I didn't, as I was very contented and felt that I shouldn't be too greedy.
That day was just like New Years Day, and my whole family was very happy. Master I love You.
