The Prelude --
One morning Mimi woke up teary-eyed. Her mother asked: "What's wrong?" Mimi's mother was puzzled: "Why don't I remember any of this?" From morning till night, Mimi followed her mother like a shadow, asking for that bag of chocolates. Eventually her mother had no choice but to pray to Master: "Dear Master, I cannot buy the chocolates from heaven here on earth, so please help me and give another bag of candy to my daughter." |

Story -- The next morning, Mimi's innocent looking face was like a bright red flower as she smiled resplendently. Leaning on her mother's arms, Mimi spoke quietly: "Last night's candy house dream was so delightful and amusing." Mimi's mother opened her eyes and said: "Eh?", as she stretched her neck and pricked up her ears. "Master-mummy, like Santa Clause, brought a big bag of candy to our house, then she turned our house into a candy house. The roof was a layer of chocolate, covered with a thick layer of cream. The cream was garnished with cherries, strawberries and grapes. The walls were made of chocolate bricks, and the fences were made of big triangles of chocolate. The flowers, grass and trees surrounding our house were all turned into candies too. They looked the same as before, but every petal, every leaf was edible and each had it's own distinctive taste. Then Master-mummy made snow out of white candy. The candy fell like snowflakes; they were so light, flaky, soft, sweet and aromatic. They melted in my mouth immediately and didn't feel cold." Mother asked curiously: "What happened to the inside of our house?" "It was chocolate too. The tables, chairs, counter and fireplace were all made of chocolate. Even the bathtub, toilet, quilts, books ... were all candies. We could enjoy the candies while we bathed, slept, or read. And the tap water was sweet and your cosmetic lotion was a thick syrup." Mimi's mother swallowed, then asked: "What was it like, the candy Master-mummy brought you?" "Oh, there were many different kinds of candy, with a variety of colors, shapes, scents and tastes. The whole house was full! There was one kind that was like a heavy book with many pictures inside. Some of the pictures were of animals, some were of flowers and you could tear out the pages to eat. None of that happens on earth. It's different, the candy from heaven, it is not sticky and ants aren't attracted to it. It does not harm your teeth and you don't feel full after eating lots of them. You just can't have enough of them. The most wonderful thing is: after you finish one, a new one will appear at once so you cannot finish them all." |
"So, did Master-mummy live in the candy house too?" Mimi's mother asked eagerly. "Yes. Master-mummy lived in the candy house for a year. We slept together everyday. She sometimes held me in Her arms. Master-mummy meditated with us and made snowmen with us. In the evenings, She took me for walks - the little birds flew near us and the squirrels jumped around us. It was such a happy time living with Master-mummy! However, Master-mummy had to leave eventually. Father drove Her away in a pretty but strange looking double-decker van. I was very sad and cried. But before She left, Master-mummy told me: "Mimi be a good girl, don't cry. Master-mummy will come again. Remember to tell your mother to write down the story of the candy house to share with fellow practitioners..." It was about noon when Mimi finished her story. Her mother asked her: "Do you want to eat something?" "No. I'm satisfied having eaten all those heavenly candies, now I don't feel hungry at all." Postscript -- The candy house dream satisfied Mimi's wish to have candy everyday. After receiving half-initiation Mimi lives in a miraculous world. Her life is full of joy, pleasant surprises and fun. "Master-mummy" often takes Mimi traveling to other planets and worlds throughout the universe to taste the heavenly flowers, fruits and drinks, and to attend spiritual lectures in heaven and on earth .... "Master-mummy" is Mimi's dearest loving mother. She is Mimi's closest companion and the most powerful magician. Having a friend like "Master-mummy", Mimi is the happiest, the most satisfied and the most blissful child in the world. |

I remember it was the day after the typhoon had passed. The continuous rain had made the children most anxious to go outside for some fresh air. Approaching a nearby school, they dashed in, leaped on the swings, and climbed on the slides, enjoying to their hearts' content. Suddenly, I heard my daughter's piercing cries. It happened that she was jumping between the leaves of a large fallen coconut tree, not aware of a hornets' nest on the leaves. With hands covering her head, she was running toward me; but the swarm of big hornets, with orange and yellow stripes, arrived before her. Then, the baby on my back and my son beside also started to cry. Hearing the wailing of my children, I became very nervous and subconsciously murmured |
to myself, "Oh Master! Please help!" More hornets
charged forward to attack. I was so anxious that I screamed loudly,
"Master, if You do not come immediately, someone will be killed!" Suddenly,
a transparent wall seemed to appear, and all the big, ferocious hornets just
turned around and flew off.
Before this incident, although my daughter obediently followed my husband and me to Hsihu Meditation Center, deep in her heart she could not understand our attitude of loving Master and the Truth above everything. After this incident, she truly experienced Master's great omnipresent power. No longer jealous of Master, she became determined to let go of the MacDonald's hamburgers and fries, and receive half initiation. |
