☆Bathing In The Vibration Of Truth, Virtue And Beauty

During a recent Los Angeles Center group meditation, Master appeared in a white sleeveless top and a long black skirt with white polka dots. She looked so beautiful that all fellow initiates' eyes sparkled. Since She is in one sense "homeless," She doesn't take many clothes or much jewelry with Her while traveling around. Now She often buys discount clothes, especially children's sizes, which are even more inexpensive. However, no matter what clothes Master wears, She is always amazingly beautiful, and She is always a manifestation of Truth, Virtue and Beauty. This truly reflects what She has said: "What truly attracts people is not one's body or clothes, but the vibration generating from that person." No wonder! We were all bathing in Master's magnetic field of light and love, and thus were filled with bliss.

A fellow initiate mentioned that her sister liked Master very much, but she had not followed Her to practice yet due to her addiction to smoking and gambling. However, she also felt that Master had always taken care of her. She wore Master's picture-pendant everywhere, even in casinos. Moreover, she even claimed that Master tells her which numbers to play. (Fellow initiates were surprised upon hearing this!) Once an Au Lac lady sitting beside her in the casino asked her, "Why is it that you're so lucky?" She answered, "Because I have my Master," and showed the lady Master's picture. It turned out the lady recognized Master as well. Now Master is even famous in casinos.

Jokingly Master said, "How terrible! That was a place I thought I could go to have fun because no one would know me there. At least no disciples would ever go there. So I was thinking to go there to have fun and now I am done." Everyone burst into laughter. Master continued to say that the sister was just practicing concentration. When people gamble, they put all their spirit and effort into the game; and if they lose, they feel a lot of pain. That's why they are highly concentrated. Once they switch to spiritual practice, they will have everything, because they already have the initial stage which is concentration.

In order to save a sentient beings with an affinity with Her, Master would go even to hell, not to mention a casino; and She uses all of the "eighty-four thousand methods" without the slightest consideration of Her own reputation. She does all these things in order to let the light shine everywhere, including in dark corners!

☆A Night Of Poetry

The next night, Master came again, wearing very casual clothes, yet She still looked very beautiful and elegant. She invited questions from everyone present. A fellow initiate, who is involved in theater, said that many of her colleagues use drugs and do many other things in order to have different experiences and also to get rid of their own frustrations. As a result, she often felt very lonely. Master encouraged her by saying that she was supposed to be the light there; that God had arranged for her to be there so that a beam of light could shine through the darkness; and that she should try to lead those artists to better, more noble pursuits. The initiate was deeply moved to tears by Master's words. Soon after, Master reminded fellow practitioners to treat their family members nicely and with respect; because no matter how the world treats us, no matter what difficulties we encounter, when we go home, we have our family members' love and care that protects us from loneliness. Our families are the pillars of our lives. Therefore, we should love and appreciate them, and help each other all the time.

After the question and answer session, Master walked around while distributing blessed food, thus satisfying everyone's longing heart. Finally, She went to the door to leave to have a rest; however, no one was able to open it. While everyone was bemused, suddenly a newly initiated practitioner, who is a famous singer, accompanied by several other people, rushed in. They were late, and on their way to the Center they had prayed to Master asking Her to wait for them so they could see Her. Obviously, at the last second, God fulfilled their sincere wish! Master, then went back to Her seat, making everyone extremely happy.

The singer's wife offered a present to Master; She opened it immediately. It was his most recent recording. Soon afterwards, a flutist, Mr. Ngoc Noi and his friend, Ms. Phi Loan, offered to recite some of Master's poems for Her. The recitation was very melodious and beautiful. Closing Her eyes, Master attentively listened to it. After their performance, Master gave each of them blessed fruit and candies. The group meditation ended this unforgettable night in a melodious and beautifully poetic atmosphere.

☆The Full Moon Night

The following weekend, several thousand people came to the Center early in the morning, expecting to see Master again. A festive atmosphere permeated the whole Center area. Everyone's faces were lit up with smiles. Usually a big crowd gathers at the Center during Master's visits; the most special thing is that everyone enjoys the ineffably charged magnetic field and a totally spiritually uplifting atmosphere. It's truly like heaven on Earth.

When night came, everyone gathered around the open area between the meditation hall and the dining hall, joyfully waiting for the exciting moment of Master's arrival. When thunderous applause arose from the crowd, the expected moment had finally arrived. Our merciful Master allowed fellow initiates who came from afar to sit beside Her. After a conversation with some of them, She kindly offered financial support to an initiate from Canada. As well, the questions of many disciples were all answered thoroughly in Master's uniquely humorous style, accompanied by everyone's laughter. When Master used worldly language to explain abstract concepts like why we were born as human beings, everyone was breathless listening to Her words of wisdom. The whole venue was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could have be heard. Master said that we are in fact one with sentient beings of various levels of consciousness in the whole universe; that we exist in all levels of consciousness, including ones that we are and are not aware of. In other words, we are everything at the same time; we are Buddhas, devils, angels and humans, et cetera. The reason why we are now in the physical world in a human body is because we chose to come to this level of consciousness. Therefore we close out all other channels, so that we can fulfill our roles as human beings. Thus we create time and space. However it blocks our ability to remember the past and see the future. Only through diligent practice of the Quan Yin Method can one re-discover the ever-existing oneness.

On this special night, the meeting was followed by an amateur performance. Everyone was amused by both the well and under prepared programs. After the performance, everyone happily invited Master to perform. Unable to decline the repeated requests, She finally began to sing some Au Lac pop songs. When She moved Her chair to the electronic keyboard, everyone immediately moved around Her to sing with Her. The singing lasted the entire beautiful night, seemingly without an end in sight. The moon silently emitted its gentle, tranquil light, which added a touch of romance to this blissful event.

This rare meeting with Master did end when She sang with everyone a traditional Au Lac song of farewell. As She was leaving, the crowd continued to follow Her; their desire to be in Her presence is never-ending. The next day a gathering was held inside the meditation hall immediately after the last meditation session. Master came a few hours before midnight because She could not resist the longing of fellow initiates, many of whom had stayed over night. Walking through the line of people who welcomed Her at the front gate, Master generously returned the warm reception with a gesture of love and concern to everyone as they happily escorted Her into the hall. As Master began greeting everyone, a lady who sat nearby burst into tears after exchanging several words with Her.

The next thing we saw was a shower of blessed candies raining down on the initiate, as well as many blessed fruits that were handed to her. She smiled with tears of joy. Although being a spiritual teacher, Master, on many occasions, has compassionately and happily given answers to disciples' mundane questions.

At one time, when a person raised a question about the dilemma of dealing with his downstairs apartment neighbor. Master patiently offered various practical solutions. Her personal experience helped him to understand the feelings of the neighbor. She also gave him a valuable lesson on attentiveness and manners as it was most suitable to the situation. Again, Master's love allowed many fellow initiates from afar to sit close to Her, enabling them to fully receive Her warm attention and blessing. Due to time constraints, Master was unable to extend Her visit, which many sincerely hoped She would do. To satisfy everyone, She walked down the aisle and intimately answered each person's questions while giving Her love to all. What a rare opportunity for sincere and earnest practitioners! The precious evening ended while many were still longing for more of Her love.
