Spiritual Interludes


By Sister Initiate Tzewen Luo, Taipei, Formosa

I felt that I was alone in the hall. Although there were more than a thousand Taipei fellow initiates meditating together with Master's blessings, I did not feel that there were others in the venue at all. Instead, I felt that I was completely alone. It was a very clear awareness. Feeling that I had no physical body and no limitations, I enjoyed the tranquillity as if there were no space and time, no beginning and no ending. I was filled with love.

Suddenly a fellow initiate could not help coughing and the cough broke the silence. But why did the cough come from inside of "me"? It should have been from a fellow initiate outside of "me". Why did the outside become the inside and the inside become the outside? I then realized that all creation became one.

Only when the sound of the "Verse For Transferring Merit" became available, breaking through the space and time, did I realize that I should open my eyes to stop the meditation. I then watched Master's lecture videotape. When She coughed on the screen, I coughed at about the same time. That was just what had happened in the meditation. I was feeling peaceful and comfortable. Besides, there was no wind from outside and I was perfectly healthy. So why did I cough? It was because we are truly one with Master. What we feel, Master feels, and vice versa. When we see Her, we are actually seeing ourselves.
