My
husband used to drink heavily. And after drinking, he would not sleep
for a whole night and often go crazy. No one could ever make him stop
drinking. However, one incident forever changed him.
On
November 19 of last year, my husband and daughter-in-law went to burn
imitation money for the ancestors in a memorial ceremony. It was a dark
night. A motorcycle suddenly dashed toward them and my husband fell
down. My daughter-in-law thought he had been knocked down by the motorcycle.
Therefore she didn't let the person driving the motorcycle go. My husband
then told her that he had not been knocked down by the motorcycle but
had fallen down because he had been pushed by someone, namely, Supreme
Master Ching Hai (Her omnipresent Light Body). When coming back home,
he told me: "It was your Master who saved my life." When the
motorcycle dashed toward him, he was in immediate danger. Had Master
not pushed him in advance, the consequences would have been disastrous.
This incident affected him greatly. He began to take interest in Master
and Her teachings, and from then on, stopped drinking on his own initiative.
On
top of having been a drunk, my husband had been addicted to smoking
for dozens of years. He thus was in bad health. His face was dark and
looked awful. He kept coughing and was troubled by asthma. Surprisingly,
after he decided to become a vegetarian and practice the Quan Yin Method,
his health began to improve. He began to gain weight and have a rosy
complexion. By February of this year, he finally had given up smoking,
a habit which had accompanied him for dozens of years.
Coincidentally,
my family's finances became a problem. Before, because of the condition
of my husband's health, his monthly earnings from his job had been only
120 RMB (Mainland China dollars) -- the main income of our family. But
in the spring of this year, he even lost this low paying job. In this
difficult period without income, someone came and recommended him for
a job in a wholesale store selling cigarettes and alcohol. When I learned
about this, I didn't let him take the job. I said: "Master wouldn't
see us starve. We will not earn ill-gotten money." Sure enough,
soon another person came to ask my husband to assist him in his business.
My husband suddenly got three part-time jobs, which are good and not
tiring. His total income now adds up to more than 800 yuan. Later my
husband was initiated into the Quan Yin Method, and our family situation
has become better and better. My daughter-in-law and grandson also became
vegetarians and decided to practice the Quan Yin Method. Now, they are
all fellow initiates.
