One of sister Li’s work colleagues, sister-initiate Fan, gave her a copy of The Key of Immediate Enlightenment, Volume One. After reading Master’s book, sister Li tried to adhere to a vegetarian diet. At the time, a Catholic co-worker became very curious about her being so engrossed in Master’s book and sister Li informed her that it was a book on the Truth. The skeptical colleague tried to find flaws in the book, but unexpectedly found herself totally convinced by Master’s perfect wisdom and later received initiation. Sister Li also yearned to be initiated, but Master was in retreat during that period. So she could only pray for it every day. When she finally received notification of an upcoming initiation, she was as cheerful as a bird in a tree.

After initiation, each time when she went to Sindian to attend Master's discourses, sister Li became so filled with bliss and reassurance that she cried all the way to and from Sindian. On working days, sister Li meditated with sister Fan in their company storeroom during lunch breaks, after which they would feel absolutely refreshed, cleansed of karma, sharp and bright. They lived each day joyfully and all aspects of their lives went smoothly. Sister Li considered the two-hour commute to and from work the best time to recharge through meditation. Although the ride was bumpy and the bus stopped frequently, she could still enter samadhi and saw the sun, moon and stars in her inner vision, proving that the Quan Yin Method is truly fantastic! When the bus reached her stop, our merciful inner Master would always wake her up in time to get off, and sometimes, she was still so immersed in samadhi that she could not immediately find her way. Sister Li added, “Being able to receive Master's immense love is the best inner experience of all in spiritual practice.”

  On one occasion in July 1989, Master allowed fellow initiates to discuss their inner experiences at the White Flowers Grove in Hsihu Center. After sister Li shared her story, Master sent a resident to give her a hammock, which she still cherishes greatly today. She longed to attend a seven-day retreat, and so in order to get leave from her job, she brought unfinished work home and toiled day after day until midnight. Besides getting work leave, sister Li still needed permission from her husband and mother-in-law to attend the retreat. So she wrote a touching letter to her husband imploring him to let her realize her wish. On her knees, she entreated him to speak to his mother on her behalf. Her husband was so moved by her sincerity that he granted her request. On her way to Hsihu for the retreat, tears of joy completely soaked her handkerchief. Originally, it was almost impossible for her to attend a long 7-day-retreat, however with Master's grace all obstacles had been removed.

One day during the retreat, Master asked more than 800 fellow initiates to line up, and one by one She embraced them, touched their heads and hands, and patiently listened as they poured out their hearts to Her. Like wandering children who had returned from afar into their Mother's arms, many of the initiates could barely hold back their tears during the session. Sister Li sat quietly in a corner of the mediation hall watching Master hug the disciples. The boundless mercy and love of the Holy Mother of the universe left a permanent impression in sister Li's mind! And after being hugged by Master, she had an especially good experience in meditation as an expanse of white Light fringed by red and yellow light cascaded down from above, and then the Lights interlaced while showering down onto her body. Sister Li then felt as though she were basking in an ocean of warm, tender love that she did not ever want to leave.

Master accepts all of us unconditionally, without regard for our personal qualities. She shoulders all our karma just to elevate us. Any wish that is beneficial to our spiritual practice, She will help us to realize. Just as Master once said, "We walk one step and the Master Power will walk a thousand steps to help us." Sister Li will never forget Master's boundless love and concern for Her disciples.
