A
Big Incident Becomes A Small One,

Not long after a sister initiate
in Beijing gave birth to her
daughter, she asked a fortune
teller to tell her the
daughter's fortune. The fortune
teller said that her daughter
would be missing for a period of
time when she was five and a
half years old; that this period
would be quite long but that she
would eventually be found. The
sister initiate worried about
this for quite a while. However,
with the passing of time, she
soon forgot about this
prediction.
Last year, the sister initiate
went to Paris on a business
trip. By a lucky coincidence,
she was initiated by Master.
After initiation, she returned
to Beijing. Shortly after, her
job required her to go to
Shantou on a ten-day business
trip. Therefore, she entrusted
her husband with the task of
picking up their daughter from
kindergarten every day.
During the afternoon of the
following day, her husband went
to the kindergarten by bicycle,
but the teacher told him that
the child's mother had just
picked up the child. Naturally,
the husband felt very uneasy.
While riding home, he was
wondering why his wife had come
back so soon. The more he
thought about it, the less he
could set his mind at rest. So
he decided to go back to the
kindergarten to have another
look. While riding on a busy
street, he saw a little girl
standing near an electricity
pole by the roadside and
realized that it was his
daughter. He quickly pedaled his
bike toward her. As soon as his
daughter saw him, she cried
loudly.
What had happened was that when
the kindergarten closed for the
day, the daughter saw a person
who she thought was her mother,
so she followed her. After
walking for quite a while, she
saw that "her mother" did not
pay attention to her. So she
looked at that person again and
discovered that she had followed
the wrong person. By this time,
she was already on a busy street
and could not find her way back
to the kindergarten. She was
very worried and scared. She
told herself, "Mother has been
initiated so Master will
definitely take care of me. I
can't run around here and there.
I should stand here and wait for
my father. I can't cry. If I do,
others will know that I'm a
child without my parents and
they'll take me away." So she
stood by an electricity pole and
silently recited, " Namo Supreme Master Ching Hai, please help me! Namo
Supreme Master Ching Hai, please help
me!..." While doing this she
watched all the pedestrian
passing by with wide eyes.
Finally, she saw her father.
After this unexpected incident,
the sister initiate and her
husband remembered the
prediction that the fortune
teller had given years earlier
because they realized that their
daughter was exactly five and a
half years old. The incident had
happened quite coincidentally.
However, the difference was that
their daughter was supposed to
be missing for a long time
according to the fortune teller;
but she was actually missing
only for less than an hour.
Master often says that after
initiation, if we seriously
pursue our spiritual practice,
our enormous fixed karma can be
turned into small karma, and
this small karma can even be
turned into nothing. This
incident of a missing child is
an excellent example of this.
