There is a monk in a temple in China. After being initiated by Supreme Master Ching Hai, he continued to take care of the Bell Tower (a traditional, free-standing, two-storey building usually found in temples) in the temple, while practicing the Quan Yin Method everyday. Apart from working in the Bell Tower, he also rested and meditated there.
One day, he encountered a dangerous situation when meditating, so he promptly prayed to Master for help. The very instant that he thought about Master, he saw Her descending gracefully through a high window in the Bell Tower with a Quan Yin messenger.
As soon as Master appeared, the danger subsided; everything dissolved in the warm, peaceful ocean of love.
When Master left, She ascended gracefully out of the same window, and then disappeared in the vastness beyond. However, the Quan Yin messenger was left behind. Having insufficient power to make the ascent, the Quan Yin messenger had to use the staircase to climb up!
However, it was not a case of Master forgetting the disciple and flying away alone, but rather that She often uses different ways to educate sentient beings in different situations. The knot in the monk's heart was untied.
The power of a Master and that of disciples is different. For example, when conducting the initiation the power is from Master - the Quan Yin messenger is only an instrument. Whatever fantastic deeds that disciples do depends entirely on Master's compassionate and almighty power.
