Five
years ago, I was operated on for appendicitis, and according to my doctors,
the operation was successful. So within two months of the treatment
I resumed participating in my favorite sports. At the time, I did not
know of Supreme Master Ching Hai, but She nonetheless knew me and was
taking care of me. Later I learned about Master, and in December 2002
received initiation. Since then I have always tried my best to meditate
and often experience wonders and miracles through Master’s grace
in both the inner realms and the outside world.
After my operation,
I suffered no serious inflammations that would have required further
surgery until January 2004, when I underwent a bout of extreme pain
and irritation. Day by day, my painful predicament became more serious,
presenting the need for another operation. Thus, I went to the hospital
and my doctor confirmed that I needed surgery, adding that the operation
would not be easy for me. An ultrasound was performed on the inflamed
part of my body; however, I was not operated on at that time.
On January
28, 2004, the Sunday following my hospital visit, I joined the morning
group meditation session at the Benin Center. And after about three
hours of meditating, my pain became so intense that I could not do the
Sound meditation. I then felt the need to visit the washroom to relieve
myself and suddenly experienced a strong itching sensation in my abdomen.
So I lifted my shirt and noticed a small wound in my body and some movement
inside. I pressed around the wound and what looked like a white and
highly mobile maggot came out and fell on the floor. This scene lasted
for about six minutes, during which time I began to sweat. The sweating
only stopped when I resumed meditating, and suddenly the desire to relieve
myself disappeared, the pain and irritation stopped and I heard myself
shouting, “Wow! Master has operated on me. I’m healed.”
After this experience I feel I will no longer have to undergo an operation
with its procession of surgeons, scalpels and anesthetists.
At the end
of the meditation session at the Benin Center, I spoke of my experience
to some brothers and they rejoiced with me. One of them told me that
the “maggot” was old waste materials from within my body
that had been expelled.
Now my joy
is indescribable. I feel that I have found a real living Master who
responds to all my inner and outer needs. Thank You, Master, for Your
support in this world, for Your compassion and for all that You represent
for humanity.
