There was a man who was very religious. He believed in God very much. But he also believed in donuts very much. He ate a lot of donuts. And he got very fat. And he swore to God that one day he would get off of donuts and never touch donuts again. And he decided to go on a diet and eat healthy, and become slim and handsome.

So he tried to change his route to work. He drove on another route instead of his old route, on which he had to pass by the donut shop every day. Therefore, if he didn't see the donuts, he wouldn't get too tempted. So okay, that's good. This went on for some time, two months. And he never touched a donut again; he never went to that shop again.

But one day he accidentally went back on that old route again. He drove along it and saw the donut shop. And he said, "Oh, my God. No, no!" But then he thought, "Oh! It might be God's will." (Master and audience laugh) He was a very devoted Quan Yin disciple. He thought, "Oh, maybe God wants to reward me for all the effort I made all these months. Maybe Hes wants me to eat some donuts today." Okay, then he prayed in his heart. He started to say, "Oh, dear God, if it's really Your will, let me find a parking space right in front of the entrance. Then I will know that it's Your will." So, of course, he found a parking space right in front of the entrance, after a dozen times driving round and round the block. That's just like us. Everything is Master's arrangement!
