A few years ago, after I saw a poster of Master, I had a dream. I saw a scene of beautiful mountains and hills. I thought I was flying. On the slope of one mountain I saw two vast temple complexes. One was higher than the other but both were very beautiful. I wondered why the temples were empty - without a single soul.

Then I flew low and found a hill with many low but very lovely trees. Ah! I saw a lot of people meditating under the trees. After a while, I noticed that they were listening to a discourse given by someone who I knew was Supreme Master Ching Hai. She was wearing a long blue dress, and even though I didn't notice the dress design, I knew that it was an Au Lac dress. I suddenly felt a deep longing in my heart to be one of them. The pleasant atmosphere and the sound of rustling leaves was so inviting that I wanted to stay longer.

Attending the Supreme Master Ching Hai Day 7-Day Retreat (my first visit to Miaoli), suddenly made my dream become clear. We had our daily meditation in the Forest Meditation Hall under hundreds of lovely trees. On the stage was Master's big framed photo hanging in the background. In that photo, Master was wearing a long blue Au Lac dress embellished with golden dragons - it was so regal. Everything was beautiful to me, including the so-called dream that has now become a reality.
