Not
long after I was initiated in 1994, I visited the Itukusima Zinzya
in Hiroshima. There was a grand hall where the Quan Yin Bodhisattva
was worshipped, and no one was inside. I sat down and began to meditate
on the inner light. Suddenly I saw a big eye of infinite mercy;
and there was a teardrop suspended from the eye. I was amazed and
wondered why the statue of the Quan Yin Bodhisattva would cry. I
quickly opened my eyes, but I saw no tears in the eyes of the Quan
Yin statue in the hall! That was really strange! On second thought,
perhaps the Quan Yin Bodhisattva felt pity for this miserable lamb
that had lost her way and gone through great suffering before finally
finding her way home!
Several
years later, when I was half in sleep and half in samadhi, again
I saw a big and extremely beautiful eye. I was deeply moved that
there was such a beautiful eye in the universe that was truly mesmerizing.
Then the beautiful eye vanished and was replaced by a lovely blue
sky and the Milky Way studded with stars. It seemed to be a panoramic
view of the universe with its clusters of planets. This majestic
vision was more than I could describe. This was the first time I
beheld such a vision. I was thrilled and in my heart, I couldn't
help cheering loudly, "This is Master's eye! This is Master's
eye!"
