Iwas initiated by Master several weeks after my father-in-law passed away. Before initiation, I often had doubts about life: "Where do human beings come from? Where do they go?" When my father-in-law died, I experienced a family member's death for the first time. This stimulated more desire in my heart to solve the mystery of birth and death.
Several days before my father-in-law's death, my daughter was hospitalized due to a continuous high fever. I stayed in the hospital to take care of her.
On the night when she fully recovered and was checked out of the hospital, I came back home feeling exhausted in body and spirit. After I paid my respects and wished good health to my father-in-law, I went upstairs to rest. I tossed and turned in bed, and could not go to sleep. Half asleep, I seemed to hear someone calling me. I forced my eyes open and saw a seemingly transparent figure. At that time, thinking that I dreaming, I closed my eyes and went to sleep.
The next morning, I learnt that my father-in-law had passed away. He left this world in just one night.
During the period of mourning, I intuitively felt an invisible presence around our home, as if my father-in-law's soul was still there.
After being initiated by Master, I sincerely prayed to Her to take care of my father-in-law. Once, in a dream, I saw a vivid image of Master in white, as ethereal and beautiful as Quan Yin Bodhisattva. Floating in the air, She stretched out Her hands saying: "Follow me!" Just as miraculous as that, my father-in-law's spiritual body flew directly towards Master, while I stood on the balcony waving good-bye to him. I kept this event to myself.
Then, at last year's "Ching Hai Day" celebration, when Master appeared like Quan Yin Bodhisattva, I stared at the scene feeling that it was incomparably intimate and familiar; and suddenly I was enlightened! It turned out that several years ago, Master had already shown me this scene in a dream. The excitement and gratitude that arose in my heart were greater than anything that can be described by language!
