A Living Example By Sister Initiate Chen Wen Hong, Paris, France |
When Master visited England recently, I was extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to work closely with Her for several days. During this time I witnessed a living example of Truth, virtue and beauty. Needless to say, I learnt a great deal during this time.
By Brother Initiate Duan, U.K.
The most memorable thing for me is the incredibly deep and boundless love that Master spontaneously gives at all times wherever She may be. Whenever Master saw an old, homeless or needy person on the street, She would stop and talk to them and give them Her warmest wishes. If She discovered that they needed money, She would give them financial help. Master once told me, "I have only this opportunity to meet them."
In the hotel where Master stayed there was an elderly doorman who often stood in the cold wind until very late in the night. She understood the hardships he has to endure to make a living, so She often gave him an extra tip.
The taxis at the hotel entrance often needed to queue for a long time to pick up passengers. Sometimes Master only went out to nearby places so therefore the fare was quite low. In such cases She would apologize to the driver and give an extra tip to compensate.
Master never forgets to bring happiness and satisfaction to those She meets. Once we did some work with a pretty young lady. When departing, Master reminded me in Chinese to tell the lady we all thought she was very beautiful. I am sure the young lady was in ecstasy all day that day.
In order to reward the initiates for their sincere invitation and hard work in arranging group meditations, Master went to several supermarkets and bought some cakes that did not contain eggs for them. She also remembered there was a flour manufacturer who provides recipes for egg-less cakes and biscuits, so She told us to find these recipes and publish them in the News magazine, giving the vegetarians a greater variety of tastes.
Within only several days, I deeply realized how Master lovingly teaches disciples. I noticed that She was capable of managing Her work all by Herself, however, in order to train us, She provides opportunities for us to learn. Whenever our egos were at work with our preconceived ideas resulting in poor judgment, Master would personally make a thorough investigation and then make the correct decision. We would then witness how much better the work proceeded to a successful completion in the shortest time possible. Each time, our preconceived ideas were completely shattered.
Recalling the time I worked closely with Master, none of the imagination I had proved to be correct. I realized deeply that if we work with our egos, we only succeed in obstructing Master's work.
The experience gained with Master will have a major impact on all aspects of my life. It will encourage me to work hard at my spiritual practice, to expand my love, to eliminate my ego and eventually to become one with Master, in order to repay Her for Her tremendous love and blessings.
