A Possible Accident Averted
On the evening following the close of the Hsihu International
5-Day Retreat, Master joined the remaining fellow initiates for
a barbecue, tea and snacks, as well as in singing English, Chinese
and Aulacese folksongs until midnight. Sister Tang and her family
had the good fortune of spending an unforgettable night with Master
and the other initiates.
Early the next morning on February 25, when the Tang
family was driving home to northern Formosa, they suddenly detected
a very strong smell of gasoline. Sister Tang's father alighted
to check the car and found that there was a severe gas leak. They
immediately drove to a garage for repair. After an inspection,
the garage owner said that the old fuel pipe had ruptured and
must be replaced. Otherwise, it could be very dangerous because
the car could catch fire on the highway. However, the shop was
out of stock and the owner would have to go with his motorbike
to get a new pipe. He asked the family to wait patiently while
he went in to get ready. After a short while, he came out and
said, "You are lucky. I accidentally found a fuel pipe in
a corner of my warehouse. You won't have to wait. I can change
it for you right away."
Five minutes later, the Tang family was on their
way. Traffic was smooth on the highway and they soon reached home
safe and sound. The family gladly thanked Master for arranging
a barbecue the night before, because if they had driven home in
the dark, it would have been difficult to detect the leakage and
to find a garage in the countryside. They were very grateful to
Master for Her ingenious arrangement that saved them from a possible
accident!
The Pure-Hearted are the Closest to God
On the day before the 5-Day Retreat, Master kindly
gave permission for an initiation to be held. That afternoon,
some of the children, while waiting for the initiation, asked
innocently, "Will we see Master?" A parent told them
that they could pray sincerely in their hearts. Therefore, the
kids closed their eyes and prayed silently.
