Before
I knew Supreme Master Ching Hai, I had already practiced magical powers
for several decades. When I realized that all these were powers within
the three realms and could not take people to liberation, I drew a charm
and drank it with water. This served to end all my magical powers. However,
I still had to repay the karma incurred from using the powers within
the three realms.
After practicing the
Convenient Method, I still had headaches for quite a while before my
condition gradually got better. When reading the scriptures, I often
wondered what the "Dragon God Dharma Guard" was. One day in
July 1996, I was driving my father-in-law to the airport. When turning
from Highway A1 into A9, I suddenly drove into a rainbow, and there
I saw the tail of a dragon. Instead of being covered with scales as
people would think, it was covered with patches of neatly trimmed long
hair. We stayed in that vast and intense brightness for almost twenty
seconds while still traveling at 120 kph (75 miles an hour) without
any accidents occurring. Looking back now, it really seemed impossible.
Just as we were emerging
from the light, I heard Master whisper into my ears: "Now, do you
still doubt the existence of the Dragon God Dharma Guard?" Only
then did I realize that I had just seen a dragon flying by, and it was
the radiant trail it left behind. I was amazed to find that the dragon
could travel so quickly! (Illustration B)

Before
practicing the Convenient Method, Weng's wife often played with dragons.
The "Jade-faced Dragon" was one of her best playmates. When she realized
that all such beings belong to the first realm only, she stopped being
attached to them! She offers a hand drawn picture of the dragon as an
illustration for children's fairy tales. (Illustration C)
