Sister
initiate Chen of Hsinchu has been practicing very diligently since her
initiation, constantly reminding herself to recite the Holy Names. One
day, on the way to attend her first group meditation, she rode her motorbike
into a gas station to buy some gas. As she rode in, the service worker
immediately asked, "Have you been reciting?" She was absolutely
amazed! She thought, "Master is truly fantastic! Not only is She
constantly protecting me, but She also sends someone to remind me about
spiritual practice." However, after observing the worker for some
time, she just could not see that he was a fellow initiate or a spiritual
practitioner. So why did he remind her to recite the Holy Names? Finally,
she could not resist asking him, "How did you know about this?"
The worker pointed to the back of her motorbike; there was a sticker
saying: "Always recite Buddha’s name."
