In Szechuan Province, China, there resided a middle-aged woman who was a devout Buddhist. She often worshipped the Buddha and burned incense at temples. One day two years ago, she suddenly vowed to become a strict vegetarian, and on that night had a strange dream, in which she saw a dignified looking male Master with short hair dressed in a white robe and vest. Though she was separated by a group of people, the lady prostrated to the Master, who compassionately extended his hand to help her to her feet. The Master then told her, "Should you wish to see me in the future, you may look for some of my disciples here."

Upon waking up, the woman decided to seek the Master, but she had no idea where to begin. In the dream, the Master had told her that he had some disciples there and she could go and find them, but the woman did not know any of them. She then became very anxious to communicate with his disciples, and recalled that one of her friends seemed to be practicing a certain spiritual path so she decided to go and learn about it. Actually, her friend had already been initiated by Supreme Master Ching Hai, and after hearing about the lady's peculiar dream, she showed her one of Master's sample booklets. Upon viewing the booklet, the woman immediately saw brilliant light shining forth from Master's photo on the cover. She found this incredible and so borrowed the booklet to read at home.

The woman's bad eyesight normally rendered it difficult for her to recognize the words when she read. However, to her amazement, when she read Master's booklet, every word shone brightly so that she had no problem reading them clearly. After finishing the booklet, she was absolutely filled with bliss, was certain that Supreme Master Ching Hai was the Master she had been seeking, and immediately decided to request initiation. Light also radiated from every other photo of Master that the woman looked at. Recently, she received initiation and finally realized her aspiration to follow Master in spiritual practice.

An elderly sister in Qinghai Province, China once lived in poverty. Four years ago, during the Lunar New Year holiday, her family even had difficulty feeding themselves and had to borrow money from a friend. Some time later, the sister ran into the friend, and feeling very embarrassed, apologized, saying, "I'm very sorry, but I still can't repay the money that you lent me."

To her surprise, the friend replied, "What? You've already paid back the money to me. A lady repaid it for you." When her friend described the appearance and countenance of the lady, the sister immediately realized that it must have been Master transformed in a physical body that had helped her pay the debt, and was extremely grateful to Master within. Not long afterwards, the sister initiate started a small business that grew over time. As a result, her family's financial condition improved enormously.

About a year ago in Ningxia Province, China, the mother of a sister initiate passed away. And although the mother was neither an initiate nor a vegetarian, something amazing occurred when the family took her body to the funeral parlor to prepare it for burial.

Upon seeing the body of the sister's mother, a working staff member at the funeral parlor said, "Yesterday, our whole family saw an old lady sitting on a five-colored lotus and circling our parlor seven or eight times before flying away. She looked exactly like this old lady!" He next asked, "Was this old lady a vegetarian or a spiritual practitioner? And the family replied, "No!" The staff member then said, "Then someone in your family must be a vegetarian and spiritual practitioner, or else this old lady could not have gone to such a wonderful realm!"

The sister initiate was tremendously delighted to hear of this amazing miracle, and believed that Master had taken her mother to a superior realm. Since then, she has had even stronger faith in Master, and become more serious in her spiritual practice.
