Although I had switched to a vegetarian diet only two months before and I had never seen Master, from the moment that I accepted Her, Her loving power kept pouring into the bottom of my heart like tidal waves. This triggered a new turning point in my life.

I recall ten years ago, my life was like a dream. I could not even think about such things as spiritual practice. Ten years ago, I came to know sister initiate Hong and worked in her beauty salon. At that time, I established a good friendship with her. Afterwards, struggling in the ephemeral mundane world, I experienced the joy of getting married, giving birth to children, and establishing my own business. I did not know then that ten years later, I would be divorced and close down my business. So now with a broken heart, together with my son and daughter, I went back to sister Hong and continued to work in her beauty salon, which made me feel as if I had gone back to the old days.

Sister Hong treated me like her daughter. She gave me Master's books and videotapes to read and watch, which comforted my saddened heart. Then I switched to a vegetarian diet and decided to get initiation. Master's boundless love, as the silent ocean, touched my being every day. I got rid of my sadness and began to feel peaceful.

Because of the toil and struggle in my life, I developed a lump in my abdomen. At the time of surgery, I felt nervous, but suddenly I remembered what sister Hong told me: "You can pray to Master for anything." Helpless, I immediately prayed silently and recited Her name. After only a few seconds, a white light appeared in front of my eyes and I was taken to a cross-road. One road led to hell, where there stood two angels of death, and the other led to white light. I immediately ran towards the white light. Suddenly, the white light turned into a beautiful world of wonder. Then Master took me around in spirit. I cannot say how nice and peaceful I felt.

After I woke up, the surgery was over and I was resting in the recovery room. However, I felt as if it had only taken a few minutes. That was how Master helped me face the surgery without worry and fear.

Three days later, I was released from the hospital and the surgical wound healed quickly. As I was resting at home, it rained heavily all over Formosa for several days. I did not have anything else to do but lean against the balcony and look at the dark clouds in the sky. Suddenly I had an impulse to paint. I took out the watercolors and brushes that my daughter used in school and began to paint, releasing my emotions. In fact, I had no idea at all about what I would paint, but my intuition seemed to know. I kept painting without stopping and finished two paintings in one afternoon.

I could not explain why I had painted such pictures, but I could sense the excitement and emotion in them. Then I hung the pictures above my bed. That night, I dreamed that Master came to see me, wearing the white robe and shining cloak in the picture that I painted. She even held a bamboo stick with a gourd hanging on it. She looked exactly the same as in the picture. (I had never seen a picture of Her wearing such an outfit before.) She smiled and told me, "You can tell the fellow initiates the story of these two pictures."

While waiting to be initiated, I longed to see Master every day. My longing resulted in Her giving me special care. I often dreamed of Her coming to comfort me; we met each other in such harmony.

Now I no longer feel lonely and helpless. In the future, I shall have Master to accompany me on my walk through the dream of human life. I feel very grateful and joyful. I also wish that fellow initiates would truly cherish what they have -- Master's love -- the eternal treasure!
