From childhood, I have been fond of participating in stage performances; however, since then I have not had an opportunity to take part in such activities. My wish was finally fulfilled when I joined the Kao-Ping Center Entertainment Group.
Originally, I felt very terrified about giving a performance in front of Master; I thought that it was equivalent to testing my achievement in spiritual practice. After giving a performance several times, I felt that my level of practice was really poor, that my ego was really big, and that I could not perform as spontaneously and naturally as other fellow practitioners did. I was determined to put everything aside, go on a lengthy retreat of my own, and engage in thorough self-introspection.
When I talked about my performing program issue with a sister, to my surprise, she did not even know that I had taken part in the program. It turned out that under the thick makeup, no one could tell who was who. Now I have finally straightened out my thinking -- once I put down my ego, I can broaden my mind and thus perform to my heart's content.
Prior to the performance on Ching Hai Day, in my heart I suddenly heard a voice: "Pray to Master for Her blessing." Once on the stage, sure enough, I was full of energy, and felt happy throughout my entire body. This energy has not disappeared until now. I wish it stays with me forever, because it is the source of my happiness.
