Obtaining Enlightenment

Through Initiation

While a young initiate from Shanxi was watching one of Master's video tapes with his mother before having received initiation, a burst of energy suddenly projected from the screen, and directly penetrated his wisdom eye. Since that time, he has been able to see some unimaginable things.

After his wisdom eye was opened, he could easily see spiritual energy and color emanating from everyone around him. Among non-practitioners, few emitted light; however, he noticed that those who practiced the Quan Yin Method all had lotus flower petals and light around their whole bodies, according to their level. He discovered with greater surprise that every picture of Master, large or small, had stars, suns and moons on them; and Master's whole body emitted extremely brilliant heavenly light. Moreover, he had never seen anyone's wisdom eye opened as widely as Master's, which was as gleaming and piercing as Bodhidharma's wisdom eye.

During initiation, he saw that almost everyone who was initiated at that time gave off white light. Because of Master's almighty blessing power, everyone's spirit was uplifted to a higher level.

In another case, a sister initiate, suddenly saw during meditation that three enlightened beings appeared in a contact person's home, which made her feel very puzzled. Exiting samadhi! She headed to the contact person's home to pay a visit.

After inquiring, she came to know that an initiation had occurred during the time she was meditating. Three would-be initiates received initiation at that time. This experience confirmed what Master has said: "Those who have received initiation have already become enlightened."

 

Finding A True Living Master

A non-initiated spiritual practitioner from Shanxi practices meditation regularly. Once during meditation, his spiritual body went to higher realms. Suddenly he saw an enlightened being giving a discourse, so he stayed and listened. During the lecture he learned that this enlightened being had already descended to the world to save sentient beings. As he looked down, he found that Shanxi, China was radiating strong light. After coming out of samadhi, he then started off to that certain place to look for this enlightened being.

He asked everyone if they knew the whereabouts of an enlightened being. Then one day, someone told him that a very famous master was staying in a certain temple. He immediately went there to visit the so-called famous master; however, it was not the one he had seen in samadhi. Several days later, someone told him again that a very high level spiritual practitioner would come there. He then hurried to see the practitioner, but was disappointed once more.

Suddenly one day, while feeling disheartened, he met a fellow initiate who introduced him to Master's teachings, and gave him a sample booklet. When he saw Master's picture, he was shocked to discover that the enlightened being he had seen in the higher realms turned out to be Supreme Master Ching Hai ! Providence does not let down one who puts forth his best efforts, finally leading him to his master!
