By sister initiate Tang Ju-ying, Taipei, Formosa

 

Having followed Master on the spiritual path for many years, I have always felt deeply indebted to Her for Her concern, and to many fellow initiates and friends for their help. Thanks to them, I am able to participate in various activities held by the Hsihu Center and other local centers with undivided attention. I have received much, and so naturally want to join in all kinds of work to contribute what I can. Each time I do so, I get an intense feeling that my insignificant contribution and effort cannot measure up to the great remuneration I receive from Master, in both material and spiritual ways.

Let me share an example with you. When my half-initiated son began to attend group meditation with me, I was able to meditate in the hall without worry because of the loving sacrifice of the guardians, and parents of other young initiates. Later, I joined the team of volunteer babysitters at the encouragement of other fellow initiates.

When newly initiated, my son had difficulty sitting still while meditating at home. He did not enjoy group meditation either. These problems were distressing to me, and I had no idea about what to do. Fortunately, the situation improved shortly after I became a volunteer babysitter. At the suggestion of other sister initiates, I encouraged my son to keep a spiritual diary, and as the spiritual manual instructed, I read an article from Master's teachings to him every day. I noticed that he listened to the teachings very attentively and was able to put them into practice. He even reminded me if I forgot to read the teachings to him. Now, he no longer moves restlessly during meditation, and has also begun to enjoy attending group meditation at the Hsihu Center and other local centers.

Through this interaction with my child, I have found myself making progress, too. I have learned much from other young initiates and have been so touched that I cannot describe it. I am on duty only once a month, yet I reap so much in return. I really cannot find words to express my gratitude to Master!

Every publication about Her carries infinite love and power. As long as we are willing to study it, we are sure to discover an inexhaustible treasure. My son and I, nourished by Master's love, have grown up and become much stronger than before. Master has given us enormous resources and we should make good use of them. Here, I would like to thank Master again for Her love and for giving me the opportunity to grow.
