I Finally Met You

I am an initiate from Au Lac. Three years ago, I already saw this scene -- even the same stage. I saw Master standing on the stage, but the color of Her dress changed many times. I saw very clearly Master wearing the traditional Au Lac gown with a piece of cloth wrapped around Her head. I have just realized now that it was the party for this “Ching Hai Day” celebration.

I was sitting at the back. I felt sorry for myself because I had not yet been initiated. I sat there and cried silently. Unexpectedly, Master came to my side to bless me, greet me, and comfort me. She asked, “How did you get over here?”

Master said, “I have arranged everything. You definitely can come over.”

At that time, I thought it was quite impossible. It is very difficult to do spiritual practice in my country. Some people have waited for nearly four years and still couldn’t get initiated. What chance did I have? But, Master kept emphasizing, “I will wait for you here. Right here!”

I answered, “I don’t know.”

Although we lived very far away and I wasn’t initiated, Master has always been with us. She takes care of us and helps us with Her love.

In Au Lac, I own a vegetarian restaurant. Every night we have group meditation. My village used to be very complicated, but after having group meditations for some time, everything has changed. The villagers have learned to eat vegetarian food. Some have even begun to keep a regular vegetarian diet. Even the customers were affected. Some felt so light that they could almost float after only a few meals. Some used to drink liters of beer a day, but they were able to quit drinking after two or three days. Some became vegetarian after working for me for just a few days. These are my best experiences. I will practice even harder, not only to benefit myself, but also to influence people around me.
