A Deity Guided Me
To Find An Enlightened Master

I am illiterate. Due to arrangements by my mother, I was married. My husband was a good person and didn't drink or smoke. However, shortly afterward, we acquired several Buddha statues for our home and for no particular reason I was chosen as the seance medium to get rid of other people's troubles. This brought us a lot of karma and there was no peace at home after that.

My husband then started drinking and became violent. He would throw things, beat the children, and scold people. My daughter left home because she couldn't bear it. She was gone for several years without a trace. The deity could only tell me that she was fine, but could not make her come back. I cried almost every day worrying about her. I asked myself why could I help others, but was unable to help myself and my family? I am not greedy, and I do not do anything bad, but trouble comes to me continually. Why is heaven treating me this way?

My husband and I made our living selling vegetables. We had a truck to transport the vegetables. Once we had a car accident, and the other party was seriously injured. In order to compensate that person financially the truck was confiscated. Being jobless, whenever my husband drank, he would blame me for not taking care of our family properly. This made me feel so hurt. I felt that life was meaningless and started contemplating suicide. But I could not forgo my son. Under great distress, I asked the deity for help.

During my sleep, I saw the deity Master Chi-Gong. He said to me, "My dear disciple! Don't kill yourself. Your troubles are over. Go look for a living Master. Only She can help you. She lives in Miaoli, Hsihu. All you have to do is recite: `Ching-Hai Wu Shang Shih' five times, then you will find Her."

After that, I suddenly woke up and mentioned this to my husband. He did not believe me and said, "It's too far away. You can fly there. How can our old beaten-up truck go as far as Miaoli?" So I prayed to Master in my heart, "Namo Ching Hai Wu Shang Shih, where is Your ashram? I've decided to look for You. Please help me."

At midnight, my husband suddenly sat up in bed and said, "Get ready, tomorrow we'll leave early in the morning to look for Supreme Master Ching Hai."

When we got to Hsihu, Miaoli, we did not know how to get to the ashram. I wanted to ask someone, but my husband wouldn't let me. He even teased me, "Didn't you say all you had to do was say 'Namo Ching Hai Wu Shang Shih' five times, then you'd be there? Hurry up and say it!" So I closed my eyes and recited, "Namo Ching Hai Wu Shang Shih, where is Your ashram? My husband brought me here to look for You. Please guide us on our way."

Strangely enough, my husband just kept on driving towards the ashram. After awhile he said, "Here we are!" I opened my eyes and it truly was the ashram.

There was a nun sweeping a path. I went up and asked her for help, and she said, "This is indeed Hsihu Center, but Master is abroad. Also today is not Sunday, so it's not open to the public." Because of the rules, we could not go in to visit. So we had to drive back home and wait for the coming Sunday.

My husband invited some of his friends to come with us to Hsihu on the following Sunday. I also registered for initiation on the same day. When the initiation day came, I asked my husband to take me to Hsihu, but he didn't agree. He said I should fly there myself. So I had to ask for Master's help for him to take me. At midnight, my husband sat up in bed again and said, "Okay, let's go to Hsihu."

When I was preparing my pictures and ID, my husband said, "Don't bring mine. I'm not getting initiated."

I said, "I'm not forcing you to." I don't know why, but I still took his ID with me.

When we got to the ashram, the nuns separated those who wanted initiation and those who were just visiting. But my husband just kept on walking with me without talking. When a nun asked him if he wanted to get initiated, he asked me if I brought his ID. I said yes, so both of us got initiated on the same day.

Immediately After Initiation
Master Again Took Care Of Us

On our way home after initiation we were in a bad pile-up on the highway. Three vehicles crashed. The front of our car was ruined, but both of us were fine. However, the car in front of us didn't seem to be damaged, yet the occupants had to go to hospital because they had concussions. Everyone there was surprised that both of us were okay. They kept on saying, "This is strange."

I said quite naturally, "We are initiated, but they are not." Really, we had Master's protection, and that's why we were okay. Master really loves her disciples a lot.

Thank You Master
For Taking Care Of My Family

After initiation, my husband still just sat around at home with nothing to do. I asked for Master's help to find him a job and make him happy so he wouldn't complain. Strangely enough, shortly after that, someone recommended him to work on a cleaning team and as a permanent staff. I really appreciate Master's help.

I didn't know what to do myself since we were not selling vegetables anymore. Coincidentally, across the street, there was a store front for sale. With the help of a fellow initiate, we bought it at a low price.

I wanted to open a vegetarian restaurant. A lot of people said I couldn't do that for long, but I answered them firmly, "All I have to do is hang a couple of pictures of Master on the wall, and play Her Buddhist chanting tapes and videotapes for the customers. I would not cook anything that I wouldn't eat myself. I'm sure it will be okay."

It was true! Master took care of everything. My business got better and better. I am often too busy. The customers have said that Master is helping me. I hope that in my hometown there will be more and more vegetarians and more and more initiates. Now, there are really quite a few initiates.

Master takes care of my family in every way. My son often had disturbing dreams. One day, after Master's lecture in Ping-Tong, I asked for two posters of Her to take home. One of them I put on the door of my son's room. The next day my son said to me, "Master's poster is really useful, the invisible beings are not bothering me anymore."

My daughter had been missing for several years by then. When I meditated I asked Master, "Please help me and have my daughter come home!" One evening while I was meditating, I received a phone call. It was my daughter! She cried and said, "Mother, I suddenly miss you very much! I am now in Taipei learning cosmetology. In my dreams, someone said to me, "'Go home quickly, your mother is calling you.'" Master helped me find my daughter. I'm really thankful to Her.

With Master's Blessings,
I Have Had Very Good Meditation Experiences

I remembered when I participated in the seven-day retreat at San-Di Men, I felt like I was not as good as the others. I did not dare go near Master. Later, when I saw Her blessing the foreign initiates so lovingly, I couldn't help but cry and crawl over to Her. I said, "Master, I am illiterate, and I cannot speak Mandarin." Master extended Her arms and pulled me up. I felt a tremendous energy going through my body like an electric current. It made me feel so comfortable and unlike anything I had ever experienced before. Master hugged me and comforted me without being concerned that I am ugly and poor. I was so touched! That night when I was meditating, I saw Her in a very beautiful garden sitting on a lotus surrounded by other big, beautiful lotus flowers.

An enlightened Master's blessing power is certainly different from all others. It works immediately. I must quickly tell people in my hometown to practice the Quan Yin Method. Where can we find a method better than this?

A Family Reunion Because Of Master

After practicing the Quan Yin Method, I no longer worship the deities and Buddha statues. Now everything is safe and sound. Before my son often dreamt about his grandfather wearing rags and looking very desperate as he went to him. But after initiation, Master liberated our ancestors, so they never appeared in his dreams anymore.

My daughter has come home also. With Master's help we bought a house near the market for her to open a beauty salon. Now she is also initiated. Our whole family's reunion and our good fortune is all due to Master. I am truly grateful and I will practice diligently to repay Her for taking care of us.

True And Sincere Appreciation  Master's Love Is The Eternal Treasure
