While On The Path

Dear Master,

First, I would like to pray to the Buddhas of the ten directions so that I would be able to speak strong and sincere words: That people who have an affinity and longing for the true teachings will be able to practice this method in order to be liberated from human existence that's full of sufferings.

Who would believe that a drifting vagabond, who has been dragged through many jobs to make a living is a faithful, genuine Catholic who saw the transformation body of Jesus Christ radiating brilliant light at a young age? But living in this world of misery, I have already violated the five Buddhist precepts.

There was a time when I was lost. Then my uncle lent me a book -- "The Key of Immediate Enlightenment" -- to read which in my awakened sub-conscious mind, I found Master's explanations of different realms very exciting. At that time, I was working as a mechanic on a fishing boat. But deep down in my heart, I knew that if God and Buddha let me practice for liberation, They would help me change my job.

I personally experienced what Master has said: That if one has found the Kingdom of God, all the handling of other affairs in the mundane world will be made easier. It is because all the Buddhas of the ten directions will protect the people who are on the right path of practice -- the Quan Yin Method. Not only will their wisdom be opened, but also their level of compassion and courage will be increased manifold.

I don't know what to do to repay You for the hard work that gives You so much pain and suffering because of the ignorance of sentient beings. I realize that there is only You to correct the misconceptions of ignorant sentient beings. All I know is to try to practice as much as I possibly can in order to become useful and to serve humankind to prove that the Quan Yin Method is indeed the right path.

Finally, I would like to present to You an inner experience I had some days after I got initiated.

The spacecraft I am not aware of, Neither do I care for the text books. The spacecraft moves without fuel and fumes, Creating such a sound that's highly enjoyable.
	Oh ho! What a place, nirvana. A moment of awakening shines forth in my soul. White light brilliantly radiates, As the sun of wisdom glitters in its halo. Rainbow light reflects from my inner self, As the great Self finds its soul in nirvana. Thank You Supreme Master Ching Hai our loving Mamma For coming to teach the miraculous Quan Yin
