Recently,
I happened to meet Mr. Tan and his daughter Miss Tan. The following
events about our conversations together are very interesting.
The first time I met
Miss Tan was when a friend of mine told me that a new teacher working
in her art school wanted to meet people of a Buddhist background, as
she had just arrived in Australia from China and was very eager to visit
temples or meet other Buddhists. So, my friend gave my phone number
to Miss Tan and she phoned me. I told her about our local center and
she immediately expressed interest in visiting it.
I then took her to
the center, where she obtained News magazines and sample booklets about
Master. During Miss Tan's visit to the center, she mentioned her father,
who practices both western and traditional Chinese medicine. He is also
a Chinese painter and calligrapher, and is able to connect himself with
the energy of the universe and treat many serious diseases successfully.
A few days later, she phoned me and said that she had gone through all
of Master's sample booklet and News magazines, and felt that She possessed
immeasurable merits. She also told me that her father was coming to
visit her soon.
After her father had
arrived in Australia, but before I even met him, Miss Tan told me over
the phone one day that when he saw the photo of Master on the sample
booklet he realized that he had seen Her in a vision when he was a youth.
When I met him, he also told me that he was a spiritual master himself,
and that he had many disciples in Mainland China and Formosa. Although
he had just been in Australia for a few days, he had already acquired
some disciples.
What he teaches is
contemplation of the inner Light with the wisdom eye. He does not teach
contemplation of the Sound. The following is what he wants to pass on
to our Master: Before his master passed away, the master told him that
in the future he was going to work with a Master from Au Lac to share
Divine Teachings and bring the spring of Truth back to Earth. His master
also put his hand on his wisdom eye and let him see (in a spiritual
vision) a picture of the Master from Au Lac. That was about 30 or 40
years ago. The future master he saw in his vision was still a young
girl, but he realizes now that She was our Master. So he wants to meet
our Master, and thinks this is very important.
