November 19, 1997, on the afternoon when my grandpa was dying, I fell asleep and in a dream I saw Supreme Master Ching Hai with an enormous beam of light behind Her. She gave me the biggest and most beautiful pearl that I could ever imagine. She said, "Take it!"

Very soon, my deceased great-grandmother appeared beside Master and spoke to me, "My child, take the pearl! It will quickly strengthen you for the imminent...."

I woke up at that moment.Shocked by this dream, I immediately went to see grandpa and found him in cardiac arrest. By some overwhelming power, I bravely tried my best to save him. I calmed down my family, called the ambulance, and gave grandpa a massage. Calmly and with a clear mind, I continued to help him until the last moment.

It did not take me long to realize that he was slipping away. After grandpa was rushed to the hospital, I started to meditate "in my own way" and had a vision. I saw the horizon, and that my grandpa and I had no body. I also perceived many energies which seemed locked in a field. My grandpa and I were heading towards the horizon. He seemed to be "disoriented" but earnestly and confidently I said, "Master, would you please accompany my grandpa to the light?" Then I told grandpa: "Just follow Master! You must go to the light. I have to go back now!" My relatives told me to be quiet because I was talking loudly.

At that moment, I wanted to come back, but I felt afraid of getting lost, because there were many other lights around me that looked like doors. However, I did not go astray. I was a bit afraid yet very content upon my return, because I saw a big energy behind grandpa. I also realized that there was an extremely great presence, and knew it was Master. I saw the light on the horizon. At that moment, grandpa was taking his last breath of life.

Note: My parents are practicing the Convenient Method. My mother had introduced Master's teachings to grandpa, and he received acupuncture treatment by a doctor practicing the Quan Yin Method. I came to know about Master's teachings by reading Her books and the News magazines. When I recounted my experience to a Quan Yin messenger, she told me, "Don't be afraid or sad." I have felt much better since then, because I know Master was there with grandpa in the last moments of his life.
