During a 3-day retreat at Hsihu Center, I received the "Muni Pearl" that I had ordered last year. I was so thrilled with joy. After admiring Master's artistic design and the delicate craftsmanship with other initiates, I put it on a chain together with Master's photo-pendant and hung it on my neck.

The next day, we were preparing to go back to Hong Kong soon after the conclusion of the retreat. After the morning meditation, we were informed, "Master will take time to see the foreign initiates who are leaving today". As we were gathering under the mango tree, I discovered that I had lost my "Muni Pearl".

I rushed back to the camp area to look for it but to no avail. I was feeling very sad and miserable. I wanted to cry. I couldn't calm down even after seeing Master. After waiting so long for the "Muni Pearl", I was able to enjoy it for only a short moment. Although I had asked my inner Master to help, still I couldn't find it. I left Hsihu Center with a heavy heart. At home, I emptied my "Infinite Light" bag and the "Muni Pearl" jumped out before my eyes. Wow! Lovely "Muni Pearl" how did it get into this topless bag!? I could only shout, "Master must have found it for me! Thank You, Master!"

I told my family about this miracle. My overwhelming joy could not be described. I was happy and thankful for the return of the lost "Muni Pearl".

After some reflection (about any attachment), I also felt bad and ashamed. I usually felt that I was fortunate to have met a saint and become a disciple of a saint at this old age. Even though I thought of Master often, I have not seriously followed Master's teachings in deeds. After being initiated for a few years, my love and deeds through the power of the Quan Yin Method have lagged far behind other fellow brother and sister practitioners. My bad habits, accumulated over scores of years, have not been overcome. The more I thought about it, the more ashamed I felt. I started to cry. I pleaded to Master for forgiveness. I repented to Master!

I hope that through the revelation of the "Muni Pearl", I will become Master's good disciple and a good tool in spreading Master's love to the people around me!

Einstein has been my idol ever since I was a little child. The Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, where he had worked, is the very institute I curiously wanted to know about. The book "Who Got Einstein's Office?" introduces the spirit of the institute. It also describes some fascinating personalities of the scientists who have worked at this place. The book not only satisfies my curiosity, it also gives me much inspiration.

Although this institute is the most advanced place for scholastic study, it's not impeccable. From my experience after being initiated, I feel that the Quan Yin Method and Master's teachings will make up it's shortcomings and make the realm of academic research become more brilliant and dazzling.

The Institute for Advanced Study aims to be a hot-bed of pure theory. What the scientists at the institute search for is a true reality which cannot be apprehended simply by the senses. For Plato, to reach that reality, one has to close one's eyes, withdraw inward and think. How do the scientists in the institute try to reach that goal? They do so by thinking, imagining, and theorizing.

Yet our Quan Yin Method provides a perfect approach. We can comprehend the Truth directly and completely. Master's teachings have already stated that transcendental existence is not totally detached from the physical world. Moreover, we can realize the mystery of the universe only with a truly innocent mind.

I used to believe that I could know the Truth through the guidance of scientific knowledge. After I was initiated, I deeply realized that the wisdom cultivated from meditation can inspire my logical reasoning and I can learn the real science only through that wisdom.

Einstein was puzzled by quantum theory even till his death. The problem was rooted in the paradox of the notion of subjective consciousness and objective reality. He believed that there was an objective reality which couldn't be influenced by subjective consciousness. He tried to illustrate his belief by asking questions such as, "Does the moon exist only when people look at it?"

I think that the Quan Yin Method can offer some answers for the scientists. The above paradox will be solved when we reach the consciousness of being one with every being in the universe. In that state of consciousness the distinction between a small entity and a big entity will vanish. The differentiation between the individual self and the universal self, "me", and "others", will disappear, and an individual's inner state of mind will be harmonized with the outer surroundings. No doubt, similar paradoxes occurring in the scientific field will be clarified in the state of consciousness of being one with the universe.

Following Master on the path of spirituality can help us not only obtain a complete framework of abstract theory, but also verify the Truth in our everyday life. We can balance the difference between theory and reality; reconcile the conflict between subjectivity and objectivity.

Although scientists in the institute are outstanding intellectually, they still stumble and struggle on the road towards the Truth. Yet, if we the practitioners practice spirituality with Master diligently, we surely will soar in the sky of Truth even at home.

From experiencing the passing away of my mother, I learned to really respect life! I also started to be serious about the quality of life! Everyday, I reminded myself to live earnestly at every moment and I tried my best to manage everything well in a light-hearted way. However, in the bits and pieces of complicated matters, I lost control of myself, crossed the line, forgot to 'brake', forgot to 'change gears', and exhausted myself completely!

My bad habits were that I treated everything as urgent and I always kept pushing myself. I wanted to learn to relax and be patient. During each meditation, I prayed to Master to help me to break my habits. I constantly reflected inwardly and completed the practicing diary hoping for an early change. However, my personality was extremely hard to change. Whenever there was work or a mission, I would immerse myself in it and use up all my energy. Thus, day after day, my health got worse and this resulted in more torture.

One Sunday, I watched Master's celestial fashion show video at Hsihu Center. Following the to and fro steps of the models, together with the jumping movements of the musical rhythms, I seemed to place myself on stage, becoming one of the performers. I felt the wonders of putting on each and every piece of celestial clothing. While watching the introduction at the side of the video screen, I was suddenly deeply moved by the degree of Master's earnest life! The quality of life that Master was emphasizing was very fine and delicate! At last, I had a little bit of enlightenment -- put on smart suits for working hours; change to casual long gowns for walking; choose suitable clothing for shopping; use another set of designs for afternoon tea; take special sportswear and beachwear for outdoor activities; and at formal dinners, wear a gorgeous and romantic silk evening gown! To shock the world, don't forget the Ducks' Feet outfit!

I finally thought it through! You are such an ever-changing lady with a thousand faces! So unnecessary is a never changing impression for others! Through fashion, the image of a person can be changed. Wow! With so much variety and color, one can change and play different roles in one day. Fantastic! Why do I need to wear my work-day face to scare my family and friends hours after hours! I must try, by "designing" and "changing" to an "evening gown or casual wear", to change my mood to become more light-hearted and relaxed!

Apart from teaching us how to react correctly to every moment, I found that Master always treats each day in a positive way! Every time I went back to Hsihu, the Center became more beautiful. This gave great comfort and confidence to people. I very much like the lifestyle of Master. She always sets an example, leading us through Her actions. Only then can we be imbued with deep feeling and complete understanding.

Master! You are a perfect Master of life. I hope I can quickly learn how to change my 'outer coat of mood', swiftly and appropriately, according to circumstances! I also need to learn to enjoy the leisurely and elegant pace of life; to be full of hope each day; to try my best, but effortlessly, to achieve the best results! Many thanks to Master for teaching by example!
