Letters between Master and Disciples

Dear Master,

I am writing to You to tell You about a miraculous thing that happened yesterday in my life.

It was a very beautiful, sunny day, with clouds like white lotus blossoms floating in the blue sky. It was a perfect day to swim. I had taught my children to swim last year but we had had no opportunity to swim earlier this year, so I decided to take them out to swim.

When it was nearly closing time at the pool I got out of the water. I asked the children to get out too, but they were enjoying it so much that they refused to leave the water. I thought I should stay in the water with them, so I jumped back into the pool.

The three of us were in the deepest end of the pool (two meters deep). After a little while, my son Harry shouted, "Help!" And I swam to him at once. I used one of my arms to swim and helped him with my other arm. Then he grabbed onto my back and pushed my body down into the water. I wanted to tell him, "Don't grab onto my back!" But when I began to speak, water came into my mouth. I had forgotten we were underwater. I swallowed water constantly, while Harry was on my back like a stone. Both of us were sinking together. At this dangerous moment, I remembered You and said, "Namo Ching Hai Wu Shang Shih, help!" in my mind. I didn't need to repeat it a second time, and felt an incredible power pushing my body out of the water with Harry on my back. My hands grabbed the edge of the pool. Our lives had been saved! Language cannot explain my gratitude and love for You.

Thanks, Master!

Love from Fengqin
