Master's Wonders



Shortly after I purchased a piece of Celestial Jewelry designed by Master, I acquired a dream house situated in beautiful surroundings. Both my husband (who is also an initiate) and I agreed that this was due to Master's and God's grace. Our house stands against a hill, facing the sea and flanked by a forest on one side. Here, we can hear the birds singing sweetly. There is even a spa bath in the house. Every day we thank God for having given us such a wonderful house that is ideal for meditation.

One day, I was watching the seascape from the balcony, but my view was partially obstructed by a big tree right in front. I thought selfishly, "How nice it would be without this tree!" The thought only flashed across my mind. Unexpectedly, several months later, the management office chopped down this big tree, leaving only a short stump. When typhoons came, without this big tree to shield the house from the wind, the rain hit directly onto the windows. Water seeped in around them and we had to collect the dripping water with mugs.

Painfully I regretted having that bad thought for which we now have to bear the bad consequences. I am so ashamed each time I see the tree stump that I apologize to it with my whole heart, "I am so sorry! Please forgive me!" To compensate for my wrongdoing, I have decided to plant two trees. Dear Master, You once said, "Natural disasters and human calamities are created by our bad thoughts." Only now have I realized this fact. Fellow practitioners, please take heed of my painful lesson; on our spiritual path, we must keep our acts, speech and thoughts pure.
