I had plenty of experiences before I was initiated, and I would like to share one with everyone: Once I found myself in a place that I didn't know. On the ground were inscribed the two words --"Ching Hai". I wondered, "Am I in Qing Hai, a province of China?" Immediately, a stream appeared next to the two words. Since I was in a dream, I did not know what it meant. Only when I woke up did I realize that it was the Master Ching Hai's Pure Land!

It was "Ching Hai," and not Qing Hai Province.

Master has graced me with Her immaculate care and love, yet I have hurt Her badly. Nevertheless, She has given me another chance, caring for me as She has always done. I have come to realize that when Master uses the term "lesson" to describe the learning process of sentient beings, Her being is full of love and expectations! In this term "lesson," there is not a trace of reprimand or excessive demand; there is only compassion and love. Since then, whenever I hear this word, I feel and sense Master's intense love for us. So, whenever I have a chance to do some work for Master, I always treat people with the utmost love and magnanimity, hoping that one day I can repay a tiny fraction of the infinite grace that Master has bestowed on me.

Being an egoistic and unforgiving person, I was good at disciplining others but not myself. Master has edified me with Her boundless love, letting me understand the true nature of a spiritual practitioner and the essence of spiritual practice. She has jokingly commented that the initiates in Mainland China are hard nuts to crack, and there is also one of Master's pictures entitled "The Stone Convention". Yes, we are hard nuts to crack, but Master, inside each of these hard rocks is a heart that loves You with great fervor!

I love You, Master! There are many rocks that are thirsting for Your divine love!
