/Initiate Liao, Mainland China

     Dear Supreme Master Ching Hai, How are You?

We are an ordinary family in Mainland China. By a rare chance, we saw Your sample booklet and had the honor of reading Your teachings. Then after several twists and turns, our whole family finally was initiated.

The moment we got hold of the sample booklet and saw You for the first time, our hearts suddenly opened and we felt indescribably relaxed and joyful as if we were bathed in a warm spring breeze. For many years, our whole family studied various types of Qigong methods but couldn't find the path to liberation. This time, we have finally found the Home of our souls.

Since we practiced Qigong before, everyone in our family has a certain degree of extraordinary power and many magical incidents have happened around us. Using such power in addition to the traditional Chinese and Western medicine that my grandfather and father have practiced proficiently. Many patients have been saved. Some of them were healed, but some were only cured temporarily and became ill again after they left us. This deeply bothered us. No matter whether we used modern medical methods, Qigong practices, or extraordinary powers, we could only cure the physical bodies but were helpless in treating mental suffering. However, most human diseases are mentally related. This shows that worldly powers are weak and ineffective. After being enlightened by You, we understand even more clearly that not only human diseases, but also natural and man-made disasters are all caused by the minds. Therefore, if we want to save people, we have to save their souls. In order to do this, the Quan Yin Method is the only way.

During the period soon after we were initiated, our family members were all immersed in the joy of self-cultivation. Each day, we only wanted to meditate, read Your books, listen to Your audiotapes and watch Your videos. We wished that we could stay in samadhi twenty-four hours a day. All of our family members became healthier. My parents felt younger and their faces glowed, and my younger brother and I did much better in school. Everything became smooth. Although we still encounter some difficulties, we have more solutions available that are much better.

As time passes by, You continue to inspire us with Your conduct. Therefore, we pursue spiritual practice not only to benefit ourselves, but most importantly to benefit other sentient beings too. In order to deliver sentient beings from the bitter sea of physical existence, You have willingly forsaken everything. To liberate sentient beings sooner, You even have to bear sufferings, enormous pressure and malicious slander that have never been experienced by other Masters throughout history. It is truly difficult to be a Master in this period of spiritual decline!

When we think about these things, our hearts cannot be calmed even for a second because we cannot only care about our own practice and attainment of the Truth. We have to do something. What we do may be insignificant, but at least it is our contribution towards the purification of this world. At least in this way, we can bring Your boundless love to sentient beings.

No matter what we do, as disciples of Supreme Master Ching Hai we are all kindred spirits with You and we strive earnestly for the same goal.

We are looking forward to hearing Your new lectures. Please take care of Yourself for the sake of sentient beings! We wish You good health and good fortune.

Sincerely Yours, Initiate Family Liao, Mainland China
