Every Word That
By Resident Disciple, Hsihu Center, Formosa
Master's teachings can change and influence the world imperceptibly. Her influential power directly touches people's souls. During one of Master's visits in Singapore, the country was being affected by the huge forest fires in Indonesia. The whole city was clouded in smoke, and the air badly polluted. When Master came to learn that the situation had originated in Indonesia, She felt that it was very unfair to the innocent Singaporean victims. Therefore, She looked out of the window and said, "This is silly! How can this happen?" Incredibly, the dense smoke reduced significantly the next day. When chatting with several fellow initiates, Master said, "The truth is, each word that I say is effective, regardless if it is heard by the relevant people or not. Speaking to you is only an excuse, so that I have the opportunity to speak the words. Sometimes I may comment on a certain president. Though he does not hear me himself, his soul knows immediately, and then he will improve. Every word that Master says is effective."
Now we have greater faith in the future of the world! I believe, if everyone practices diligently, and fully cooperates with Master, the golden era will arrive soon!

It was my deepest longing to see the manifestation form of Master. During the Taipei international seven-day retreat last year, when Master spoke to us at the Asia World Hotel, I was praying in my heart that my wish could be fulfilled. Unexpectedly, when Master finished Her discourse, She told us: "I am going upstairs to meditate. So, you have seen me already. Those who have not seen the manifestation form of Master should not complain any more." I was absolutely shocked, and felt that this was truly incredible. Master really reads the mind of each disciple.
Besides this wonderful experience, when fellow practitioners from all over the world came together, they could not help but discuss their changes and fantastic encounters after they had met Master. Listening to their experiences, both my love for and faith in Her were intensified.
There was another strange phenomenon that frequently occurred. Whenever I wished to find a certain fellow practitioner, my wish would be fulfilled soon after my thought emerged. On one occasion, I had to find a fellow brother urgently. Just as I was worrying about where to find him, this brother suddenly came over and tapped me on the shoulder.
Furthermore, I could always find the resolution to any doubts in my heart, just by turning to a page of one of Master's books. I know that all these things are due to the mercy of Master, who takes care of me silently. Of course I am not the only one. I am sure many fellow practitioners have plenty of outer experiences. If we sincerely believe in Master, She will always bring a delightful surprise to us when we need one!
Smooth Sailing With
Master's Blessing
By Would-be Initiate Lee, Tienjin, China
At the beginning of this year, my company's ship took me to Hong Kong as usual. By chance I learned about Suma Ching Hai and the Quan Yin Method. Since then, I have been desiring to learn the Convenient Method and be initiated.
However, the ship stayed for a only few hours each time we went to Hong Kong. I prayed to Master daily to teach me the Convenient Method and give me initiation as early as possible, and the opportunity finally came! Our ship was one day behind schedule leaving Xiamen. It was raining heavily. The ship was docked in Hong Kong for a longer period of time than usual; and I was able to successfully learn the Convenient Method. My wish finally came true. Thank You, Master, for Your unseen blessing.
Another time, the main engine of the ship suddenly had problems. The company instructed us to take the ship to Hong Kong for repairs. The damage to the engine was very severe, so no one on the ship believed it could be repaired, not to mention taking the ship to Hong Kong. They all packed their luggage and got ready to go home. Only I believed we could make it to Hong Kong. I knew Master's great blessing power could take us there.
When we left Xiamen, it was windless and the sea was quiet. At this time the weather was fine and completely different than it had been the last time we came back from Hong Kong, when it was windy and rainy. Half way, the main engine went out. Luckily, there was neither wind nor waves. I played Master's tape, "Buddha's Chanting," and prayed to Her to protect us. Four hours later, the engine unexpectedly began working again. After three days and nights, we all sighed with relief when we finally reached Hong Kong.
Upon our arrival, we heard a weather forecast on the radio. A low pressure front had formed into a typhoon and was moving over our sea route. The weather was extremely unpredictable. If we had started one day later, we would have encountered this typhoon. It was quite frightening. We were very lucky to reach Hong Kong and avoid a major disaster. Thereafter, one typhoon followed another. We just made it during the quiet period before the big winds. Many sailors said, "This trip had the best weather ever. It must be a blessing from the Buddha and Boddhisattvas." Master's blessing power is ever so inconceivable!

My profession requires me to visit construction sites often, so my car looks a bit worn-out, though I have used it only for two years. I thought about changing the car, but I had no idea which make of car was more practical and suitable for me. I wracked my brain for quite a while comparing different makes and models, yet I could not decide which one to buy.
When I was sleeping one night, I dreamed about Master leading a group of Quan Yin messengers. Parked close to Her was a brand new sapphire blue sedan. There was a red bouquet on the hood. Obviously, it was a newly purchased car. Waking up the next morning, I was puzzled because I knew that Master had not bought a new car, and I had not even imagined that this dream could be related to my own would-be new car. Therefore, I continued pondering which make of car I should buy. A few days later, when chatting with a driver at the construction site, I talked about my wish to buy a new car. The driver immediately suggested, "You don't have to consider any other brands. X X is the best." His words made me recall my vision in the dream, so I went straight to the automobile company. Upon entering the door, I saw a car exactly the same as the one I had seen in the dream, and there was even a red bouquet on the hood! Without any consideration, I decided to buy the car.
Master even helped me to pick a new car. Where can we find another Master who will take care of us in every aspect?
