Supreme
Master Ching Hai's European Lecture Tour not only allowed us to feast
our eyes on Her graceful form, but also granted us a chance to be close
to Her, which truly delighted us. I find it very difficult to describe
my feelings about Her boundless love with my limited earthly language.
I
had heard of the heavy load of Master's work before. But this time,
I saw it with my own eyes and realized what a great selfless sacrifice
a Master has to make. Master worked day and night during the tour. With
Her supreme wisdom, She attended to numerous affairs, large and small.
She carried out what others neglected; She moved on when others fell
back. Through Her, we came to understand omniscience and omnipresence.
Her love permeated every cell of our bodies. She knew our hearts. When
She threw us a glance or a word, which was always exactly what we needed,
She actually gave us a key to open any strictures or knots in our hearts.
Busy
as Master was, She perfectly attended to each of us. When it was time
for breakfast, the immediate thought that came to Her mind was to invite
the driver who had delivered the meal to have breakfast with Her. When
taking a group picture, Master did not forget to have another one taken
with the fellow initiate who had served as photographer. After driving
for hours Herself on freeways, and hurrying to a consulate to apply
for a visa to the next country on Her lecture tour, She first thought
of arranging a place for fellow initiates to rest and eat. She, of course,
had not even grabbed a bite of food, which was already cold. Such incidents
were too numerous to record completely. Master, like an attentive mother,
took care of us in all aspects.
Since
my initiation into the Quan Yin Method, I have been in the best care
of Master. Every time I have stumbled, She has forgiven me with Her
understanding love and helped me to regain my footing. When I have run
into small obstacles, I have lost my faith, made complaints and wrapped
myself in ego, severing my connection with Master and the universe.
In
striking contrast, Master, with Her petite, delicate body, took up the
challenge of the world. Through self-sacrifice, She brought comfort
and hope to humankind. From this, I have learned a lesson. We are bound
to succeed and to walk on the correct path as long as we persistently
hold a positive attitude in any circumstance, treat others with genuine
love, and remember that we are vehicles of God. Then we will become
one with Master and the universe, thus finding tranquillity, satisfaction
and absolute happiness. This will also be what people perceive and share
with us, the blessed, anywhere we go.
