72/While On The Path/Longing For Rebirth

While On The Path
Longing For Rebirth By Would-be Initiate Chion Mei, Taipei, Formosa
The love I feel in my heart is indescribable. To believe in an enlightened Master is the correct choice one should make in one's life! My husband and I have been vegetarians for over three months and have been deeply longing for initiation, because we know that time is very precious. During our waiting period, we purchased Master's books, CDs of Buddhist chanting and Her photos; we listened to the CDs and read the books immediately since "time waits for no man." When I listened to Master's CDs, tears streamed down my face, nonstop; once again, I was unable to contain my emotions. I wanted to write a letter in dedication to our dearest Supreme Master Ching Hai, to paint a picture as a representation of my longing for Her. However, words and paintings could not convey how much I felt in my heart. Yet, I still earnestly desired to pour forth my inner longing; therefore, I called the Center and received the news about the Celestial Jewelry exhibition being held at the Foreign Trade Center. My husband and I wasted no time and rushed to the exhibition. I had never met Master nor seen the Celestial Jewelry before. Thus, I experienced a great shock and incredible power upon seeing the jewelry. Thank You, Master, for Your boundless love and care. During this time, my husband's eyes were immensely attracted by a portrait of You in an Au Lac dress, looking very magnificent and compassionate; he stared at it repeatedly. He asked me, "Can you see Master winking?" I answered, "Not at all. I only see Her smiling with tears in Her eyes." He told me that it was true that Master was continuously winking at him. I said smilingly, "Master is telling you not to indulge in the worldly games anymore but to go home quickly." My husband was overjoyed and became desirous of purchasing this portrait of Master. On our way back home, he unconsciously drove in the direction of Song Shan Center. It was our first time going there, so we were worried that we would get lost. However, Master's infinite love smoothly guided us there. And, as it turned out, the portrait my husband wanted was displayed right near the door of the Center! Oh, Master! We will put everything into Your hands. We love everything about You -- Your delights, anger, sadness and joys. We wish to follow You till eternity! Even with more words of gratitude, we still could not express our reverence and love for You!
