I can recall every vivid detail of what happened on that day several weeks ago when I was rescued by You. And from that day on my faith in You has become even stronger.

That evening, after dinner, when I was preparing to take a shower, I suddenly became hungry again. I didn't know why. I had to come back to have some more rice and found it was so tasty. I was surprised because it was only plain cooked rice without any other accompanying dish, yet it was so unusually tasty. Besides, I had just finished my dinner minutes ago! I could not explain why it was like that. With a special feeling of wondering and a bit of happiness, I finished my shower.

Later, as I was getting out of the shower, I felt that my whole body was saggings, as if I had no more energy left in me. Sensing that this was a strange thing that was happening to me, I quickly grasped and embraced Master's magazine and began reciting Your name to help me. In this condition, I did nothing but calmly lie on my back and continuously recite Your name. In a split second, I began noticing a distinct, gentle sound of beautiful music that I had never experienced before. This music continued as I felt my whole body being slowly lifted up. Meanwhile, I also heard my children's voices as they came to see me. They noticed my unusually tired condition. At that moment what came to my mind was my longing for initiation, my children and my probable death.

I silently whispered to You, "Master, I do not care about this physical body. I only regret that I have not been initiated by You in order to practice meditation. I don't know if I will be able to meet another Master in my next life to learn from him. Moreover, I still have my two little children to take care of. They definitely have no one to rely on except me." As soon as I finished thinking, it seemed that someone helped to lift me up, and I began vomiting uncontrollably. Miraculously, there was nothing but clear fluid found in my vomit, not even a single piece of the rice, which I had just swallowed! I continued vomiting the fluid repeatedly every few minutes. It lasted for nearly an hour before I began feeling better and totally recovered. I was not completely aware of what had happened, nevertheless, I had some suspicions. Later I found my suspicions to be right.

Originally, upon seeing my frequent reading of Your books and magazines and watching of Your tapes, some one in my family literally started to defame You and used black magic to harm me - or he presumably tried to test Your miracle power - I presumed so. But his black magic was quickly neutralized by You and I was saved in time, even though I was not Your disciple then. I had not been initiated and I had only begun to be a vegetarian.

Even though several similar experiences after that have continuingly haunt me, I no longer have any fear of it, simply because I know Your manifestation body is forever with me caring and protecting me. You are definitely not away from me, not even for a split second. And I do not have any hatred toward the one who attempted to harm me. On the contrary, I always pray for him, wishing him to have the same blessing as I do - to be initiated by You.

Dear Venerable Master,
Your saving grace is as great as a mountain.
My appreciation of our relationship as Master and disciple is as deep as an ocean.
I treasure it every minute and second,
And vow to follow You, to keep the precepts, and to meditate diligently.

I sincerely wish You good health to help all mankind and success in Your every endeavor to save and liberate all sentient beings.
