Faith in Master Brings Success
A 19-year-old sister from Togo recently traveled alone to another African nation to share Master’s teachings. However, she encountered many bureaucratic obstacles while applying for government permission to officially register the local meditation center as the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association. Every day she was told to do something different, but in the end nothing was approved, and she became so discouraged that after two weeks, she dared not try any further. She cried and prayed to Master, hoping that someone would come and give her a hand.
Then, while in meditation one day, the sister received a clear instruction from Master: “Be courageous. Go on alone. Seek the minister in charge.” The following morning, the sister went to the governmental bureau again, but had no idea where to find the minister. Just as she was stepping off the escalator, she overheard some staff members saying that they were going to welcome the new minister. So, she followed them. When they arrived at their destination, they arranged themselves in pairs to meet the minister.
The sister was paired with a man, and while they waited, she thought, “If I’m with this man, I may not be able to express myself clearly.” Then, just as they were summoned to the minister’s office, the man’s mobile phone rang. Surprised, he stayed behind to answer the phone. Our sister was thus able to meet with the minister alone. Two weeks later, the local center received its certificate of registration and the sister exclaimed happily, “This is really a miracle, a blessing from Master. As far as I know, another famous spiritual group has been filing for registration for seven years, but still hasn’t succeeded.”
Kind Thoughts Dispel Danger
After receiving the government permission to establish the local center, the young sister arranged a radio announcement about the center. Among the many visitors to the center was a high-ranking military officer who had newly arrived from another country and had made many unsuccessful attempts to move to Europe. The radio announcement brought him to the local center. Since then, he has visited the center daily to read Master’s publications and has found inner peace. He understands now that his prolonged stay in Africa was meant to lead him to Master.
Three months later, a Quan Yin messenger arrived and introduced the officer to the Convenient Method. Since then, Master has been transforming his destiny and he has had many experiences in his sleep. For example, he said, “Once I woke up at three in the morning, meditated for half an hour and went to sleep again. In my dream, I saw one of my subordinates who did not get along with me. He pulled out a gun and tried to shoot me. I then took away his gun and aimed it at him, but thought, ‘I’m a vegetarian now. Surely I can’t shoot people.’ So I dropped the gun, but the subordinate picked it up and tried to shoot me again. Next I ran and hid myself and then woke up.”
“That same day, I was riding my bike down the street when I saw this same man making a phone call. I thought that perhaps the dream had gotten rid of the trouble between us. So, I approached him and said hallo. He was shocked, ran back to his car, pulled out his gun and pointed it at me. I then told him, ‘I saw you first. If I had meant to harm you, I would have done that already.’ Then I rode away on my bicycle, and he drove away in his car.”
This brother practicing the Convenient Method has had many such experiences in his meditation and dreams, and has come to realize that with Master’s blessings and the good thoughts that have arisen in his dreams, he has changed his karma. Now, he looks forward to receiving initiation into the Quan Yin Method.
