Nine years ago, Arh Di’s elder sister Arh Ying was sentenced to prison for twelve years. Being initiated for two years at that time, Arh Di brought a package along with a sample booklet of Master and went to visit her sister. Upon seeing Arh Ying, Arh Di’s heart ached because her sister appeared to be thin and pallid, and seemed to have lost all hopes for life. Arh Di could not talk about Master through the intercom in the prison, so she took the chance of delivering the package through the window and said to her sister, “Keep your spirit up! I am following Supreme Master Ching Hai and practicing the Quan Yin Method of Meditation that allows one to achieve liberation in one lifetime. There is a sample booklet in this package. Please read it carefully. Whenever you are in trouble or have problems, you can sincerely pray to Supreme Master Ching Hai for help.”  When leaving, Arh Di also silently prayed to Master to take care of her sister.

Nine years had passed; Arh Ying was released early because of her good behavior in prison. She came to visit Arh Di. Except being a little pale, she looked young and happy. They talked till midnight and to Arh Di’s surprise, all their topics were about Master!

It turned out that after reading Master’s sample booklet, Arh Ying received tremendous comfort and support. She was convinced that Master was the living Buddha who saves sentient beings from sufferings. She made up her mind to pray sincerely. However, she could not recall Master’s name mentioned by her sister and the name written in the sample booklet was in English “SUMA Ching Hai” which she did not understand. She then addressed Master in her prayer as “my sister’s Master.”

Arh Ying’s main job in the prison was making clothes. The working hours were long and stressful. Every morning, Arh Ying would pray to “my sister’s Master” to help her complete the daily work smoothly without mistakes. At night, due to the depressing atmosphere in prison, Arh Ying used to be in fear and could not sleep. However, ever since she prayed to “my sister’s Master”, she could sleep soundly every night. Her morning and evening prayers became a habit in the long and slow life in prison and they always worked miraculously!

Ever since her soul found the support, Arh Ying’s spirit and appearance took on a new look. She worked fast and smoothly, which was even noticed by her fellow inmates and the supervisor. Her days  thus passed quicker than before. Once, there was a young inmate who wanted to commit suicide. The warden even delegated the job of consolation to Arh Ying. Recalling her own state of mind previously, Arh Ying understood how this inmate felt. So she first prayed to “my sister’s Master”, and then had a long heart to heart talk with the inmate who eventually gave up the idea of taking her own life. Arh Ying was very pleased. Another day, Arh Ying mistakenly ironed a few hundred  clothing pieces inside out, which worried her greatly because not only her work points would be deducted, but also other people’s work could also be delayed. In emergency, she prayed to Master and the inner Master told her to “talk to the section chief.”  Immediately, she went to find the chief and told her what happened. The chief said, “Just iron the rest of the clothing pieces inside out for the same batch and then the problem is solved!”

In another incident, Arh Ying had to pass a test in politics and she had to memorize a lot of lines in a book. Since Arh Ying did not receive much education, she knew she was weak in this area. After praying to “my sister’s Master”, miraculously Arh Ying not only passed the test smoothly   but also was awarded two extra working points, which one could only earn by working sixteen hours continuously without mistakes.

Out of her gratitude, Arh Ying made a wish to Master that after getting out of prison, she would make an altar for Master and would burn incense, bow to Master and give thanks to Her everyday. Hearing this, Arh Di smiled and said, “Master does not need you to bow to Her. All you need to do is to receive initiation and practice the method to gain liberation. To keep precepts and meditate is the best way to give thanks to Master!” Arh Ying said, “It’s incredible. Three years ago, I started to keep a pure vegetarian diet spontaneously. At that time, there was no vegetarian food available, but I had diarrhea whenever I ate meat. So I asked the warden if I could eat only vegetarian food. After confirming my special physical reaction, he agreed to provide vegetarian meals for me! I also meditate thirty minutes in the evening. Otherwise, I could not sleep. I shared Master’s sample booklet with all of my roommates. From this good book, I got to know Master. I had so many miraculous experiences in the prison that it’s impossible for me not to believe in Master. I will follow Master to practice spiritually. I want to get initiation!”

At the reunion of two sisters, there were so many feelings of gratitude and strengthened faith in Master to share. With the best wishes of her sister, Arh Ying is eagerly waiting to be initiated.
