Master's Wonders


About six months before I was initiated, a strange phenomenon occurred that was to change my life.

One evening, my wife set the table and our family members sat down, ready to have dinner. Meat was a favorite of mine. So after having a mouthful of rice, I directed my chopsticks toward a dish of chicken. However, when my chopsticks were halfway there, I saw very clearly a live chicken standing right in front of my eyes. Shocked by the vision, I thought, "How can I eat it?" I moved my chopsticks away toward some green vegetables and then had some more rice. However, I could not believe what I had just seen. I then turned my chopsticks toward a dish of pork. Immediately the vision of a pig appeared right in front of me. Even until now, I cannot forget the lifelike appearance of these animals. The experiences themselves were not frightening, but afterwards I became terrified of eating meat.

One day after this incident, I listened to one of Master's audiotapes. My brother-in-law, who is an initiate, had gone on a short trip overseas, and I had borrowed his car, having left mine at an auto shop for service. There were about a dozen of Master's audiotapes in his car. I was curious as to why he followed a vegetarian diet and spoke so positively about Master, so I listened to the tapes without anyone knowing. The result was totally unexpected. I kept rewinding the tapes and listening to them again and again, more than ten times.

To be honest, I absolutely agreed with Master and was awe-struck at the miraculous experiences of some of the initiates. When my brother-in-law returned, I borrowed some more tapes and books from him. I began playing the tapes as soon as I got into the car and read Master's books as soon as I had completed my work in the office. In Her teachings, Master made many references to the light and sound being discussed in the Surangama Sutra. I bought a copy of the sutra in order to verify this claim. Reading the sutra deepened my faith in Master, so I wrote a letter asking for initiation.

While waiting to be initiated, I was not idle. I followed the instructions for the Convenient Method, meditating with great joy in the morning and evening almost every day. Early one morning, I was awakened by something. Since I could not go back to sleep again, I got up and meditated. After only a few minutes, a spot of light appeared in my wisdom eye and a feeling of numbness surged from the bottom of my feet right up to my head. Later I lost all sense of my body, except for a cool feeling in my nostrils. I knew that I had left my body, but since I was not yet initiated into the Quan Yin Method, I did not dare to run around inwardly by myself. This experience strengthened my faith in Master's teachings.

I would like to thank Master for responding to my prayers. Several days before I was to be initiated, I talked things over with my wife, and unexpectedly she agreed to receive initiation with me. The two of us practicing together has removed any problems that might have arisen had it been just one of us following a vegetarian diet and pursuing spiritual practice. All these years since initiation, we have never been sluggish in our meditation and we have enjoyed a smooth and steady life. And now my daughter has become a half-initiate. We owe it all to Master's teachings and blessings. Thank you very much, Master!
