By Young Initiate Chen Jin-Nien (10 years old), Taipei, Formosa

　Mother was initiated when I was four years old. Since then, when she goes to visit Master, she always takes me along. I was initiated at age six. My relationship with mother has changed; we are more like friends, very relaxed and care-free. We hope Master will bring Father to initiation soon, so that he can experience the happiness of communicating with Master together with us.

　Before initiation, mother was very serious about everything. She was kind of nervous. She had to be prepared for everything and she had very high expectations of me. She often took me out to experience the outside world just like a teacher. She believed that one must learn many things starting at a very young age, so knowing about meeting and dealing with people is very useful. Therefore, she always took me around to experience life. My childhood years were filled with interesting things.

　After initiation, our lifestyle changed. Mother plays Master's cassette tapes and video tapes everyday. She meditates diligently, rarely going out, unlike before. I also feel Mother is not as nervous as she used to be. She is no longer so strict like before, more relaxed now. Mother is really my good friend and fellow practitioner. She is a role model for me. No matter what kind of shock or test she faces, she can always get through it together with Master. Therefore, I have discovered that Mother is teaching me the spirit of not fearing failure and having faith in Master no matter what happens.

　Mother says that ever since I got initiated, she turned me over to Master and she feels very safe about it. When I go to school everyday, she is not worried because Master will take care of everything, safe and sound! Hence, Mother has more time to meditate which makes the atmosphere at home even better. When I come home from school each day, I feel comfortable, tranquil and really great. Also, Mother is gaining more wisdom day by day to overcome many problems.

　Thank You, Master, for giving me such a good mom.
