few months ago brother Yu Cheng-Chu went to help with the work at Hsihu. There was a tent facing the one that he pitched. He noticed that this fellow practitioner never spoke a word. Everyday he did things quietly - meditating, working, and never looked for others to chat with. However, the day the work was completed, he suddenly spoke, "Although we fellow practitioners don't like to speak much, we are even closer than family."
Indeed, during this period, there were also some fellow practitioners from abroad who helped with the work. Despite differences in language, we could still help each other and work without encountering any obstacles; and we cooperated happily! "Language" seems to have little use in our "Big Quan Yin Family". Everyone deeply felt, "Without speaking any words, the work was done smoothly. Without holding any conversations, our hearts communicated. Without using any language, all of us were closely united by Master's great love!"
This is a most wonderful experience. This kind of wordless understanding is more wondrous and precious than any rare treasure.
A Wonderful Way To Deliver People
While planting trees at Hsihu, brother Yu Cheng-Chu said with regret, "I have a younger brother, who is tall, strong and handsome. He is talented and successful in his career. It is a pity that he doesn't listen to one word of Master's teachings. Giving deliverance to sentient beings is indeed very difficult. We might as well give up!"
A sister initiate beside him said, "How could you not save your younger brother? I know a brother initiate who was in the same situation as you. He gave a cassette tape of Master's musical compositions to his younger brother and said, musical compositions. They are great.' He did not go on to talk about Master's teachings. Sometime after listening to the cassette at home, his brother even started to read Master's books, and eventually received initiation to become a fellow practitioner!
"Master engages in many activities in order to establish affinities with sentient beings. We should also act according to the situation. Those whom we find cannot relate to Master's teachings, we can let them enjoy Master's musical compositions with instruments such as the harp, piano, zither, electric organ or mandolin. Master's powers will act invisibly. Their karma will lessen gradually, and then they will naturally accept Master's teachings and become fellow initiates. There is no need for us to think about delivering people. People will spontaneously be delivered. Never think that "I" deliver people. In fact, everything is due to Master's power."
All the fellow initiates who were there planting trees felt that this is true. It is really a wonderful way to deliver people; one that is easy and does not cause any hard feelings.
