Master's Wonders

By Fellow Brother, Little Pumpkin, Changhua, Formosa

After graduating from university, I married a sister initiate. Because of my work, we prepared to move from the south to the central part of the island. We had already engaged a moving company to help us, but later learned from our neighbors that the manager of this company was a bad person. We were frightened and worried, so we prayed to Master for help. Unexpectedly, the day before we were to move, this manager called to tell us that his truck had broken down, and so he could not help us move the following day. We were truly relieved! Through the recommendation of neighbors, we successfully found an acceptable person to help us move.

It was a fine weekend in July 1991. My wife and I arrived at our new home, unloaded our family belongings, had our dinner, and prepared to visit Hsihu the next morning for group meditation and to see Master. Amazingly that night, Master came to see us first. Her manifestation form was wearing a splendid Taoist robe and holding a fan, and throughout the whole night, Her resplendent light radiated into the air to bless us. She gave courage to this young man, who had built his career from scratch, so that he could face the future with hope instead of fears and helplessness. A few days later, I received Issue No. 15 of the Supreme Master News. When I looked at the cover picture, I was surprised to find that Master was wearing the same Taoist robe and holding the same fan that I had seen in my dream. Only then did I understand why Master is shown wearing different clothes on the cover of each issue; each conveys a special meaning to some people. Something else that became clear to me was that Master always lends a helping hand when I am most in need.

For a young person who started out without a penny to his name, buying a house was a big and challenging issue. At about the time we moved to central Formosa, my wife received a notice from the school where she was teaching that we had luckily been granted a housing loan, given especially for teachers and government officials. However, we had to buy the house within six months, or we would not be eligible for the loan. Of course, we knew this delightful surprise was another one of Master's fantastic arrangement. Hoping to find the best house in six months, I made a thorough survey and analysis of the property in the neighborhood, taking into consideration a number of factors such as access to our places of work, law and order, tranquil environment, reasonable price, sole ownership of the entire building, parking facilities, and the possibility of flooding in the rainy season.

As the six-month deadline approached, I became more and more anxious. At this critical moment, Master again compassionately extended Her helpful hand. One night, I dreamed that I was following close behind Her as She flew speedily through the universe. My right palm was placed firmly on the head of a stranger, and because of the weight of this person, I was flying with great effort. I shouted loudly: "Master! Please wait for me! Who is this stranger? She is such a heavy burden. Very soon I won't be able to fly any more." Master ignored my complaint and kept on flying. I could see the countenance of this person very clearly, but she was a stranger to me. What was the implication behind this dream?

The following day, we continued to shop around and compare different houses recommended by real estate agents. A week before the deadline, we finally found a suitable house. When the agent took us to sign the agreement with the owner, I noted with amazement that she was the stranger I had seen in my dream. Obviously Master had already arranged a new home for us.

Our new house is right next to the school where I am teaching, and is situated in an area known for its cultural and academic facilities. The house is big and comfortable, and the public order in the neighborhood is good. Besides, it is only a few minutes' walk to the school where my wife is teaching. I have spent over twenty years studying and have been living like a rootless plant since childhood. Now I have finally found a home. Our faith is firmer than ever that, as long as we follow Master with total devotion and practice diligently, all our difficulties will be solved, and the best will be arranged for us.
