An unaccompanied minor to be repatriated soon (Original in Au Lac Language)
Reverend Master,
I never thought Your visit with the refugees would be so brief. You came and went in an instant. I felt as if it was a dream.
When I learned that You were coming, my whole body was filled with an endless sea of love. I had been longing and waiting for so long and it had finally come true. In my eagerness to see You, I immediately flew out to extend my greetings. As I didn't yet see Your caring face, I was so longing for it. I could not help yelling out, Where is my Master? Where is my Master? And how surprised I was when I saw You! Totally astonished! Even though I had seen many of Your posters and photographs before, none of the pictures could fully depict Your real beauty and friendliness.
Your coming was just like a loving mother visiting Her lost and suffering children in prison. I quickly ran next to You, mustered up all my courage assuming the position of a guard. You looked directly into my eyes. Oh! It was so sweet and warm! I was totally absorbed in Your love! Since I had been yearning for so long, I was unwilling to blink for fear of losing even a second of seeing You. At that moment, all my worldly desires had disappeared, had become meaningless. All that was left was Your powerful love filling my heart. That was the most satisfying moment of my life. Even though it was as brief as a flash, I felt as if all that was left in this vast universe was none other than You and me. I felt like I had melted in Your boundless ocean of love! Nothing in this world could ever come between the harmony and togetherness of You and me.
Because of the situation, it was not possible for me to stay indefinitely close to Master. Oh! How I wished that time would stop, that this moment would last forever! However, even though the time was short, You had satisfied the eternal longing deep in my heart. It was just like a person on the verge of death in the depth of the desert, being suddenly blessed with a drop of life. Thank You Master, for being able to sense my longing heart. Oh Master! I could no longer contain my tears of happiness; the happiness of being blessed by You. All I wish for now is to spend the rest of my life next to You, following Your foot steps to return to our long forgotten homeland. I could find no other words to say, except to wish You health and well being, so that You could continue bringing love to other sentient beings longing for liberation.
Devoted to the Respectable Master

Dear Master,
Our son and daughter-in-law have just brought forth a new life under Your guiding light. Our daughter-in-law delivered a healthy baby girl in July of this year.
Our daughter-in-law saw Your manifestation body enter the labor room wearing a doctor's uniform to bless the baby. Also while receiving initiation last year, our daughter-in-law saw Your manifestation body handing a baby to Her.
Dearest Master, if it is Your will, would You please bless the baby girl with a name? We are tremendously grateful of Your love and blessing for our family.
Sincerely,
Vu & Hoang
P.S. Master named this baby Linh Thuy (holy water).
Dear Master,
I was initiated recently at Ta Zee Primary School in Taipei. I had no inner experience of the light and sound while meditating at home. Recently I came to know about group meditations in Taipei from a sister initiate. That fellow initiate encouraged me to join the group meditations to improve. So I made up my mind no matter what, to always attend the group meditations. Moreover, thanks to God's and Master's compassionate love, I managed to attend the International Seven-day Retreat.
During the Seven-day Retreat, I saw star light, Buddha, Jesus many unknown Bodhisattvas and You, Master. There was also a very big colourful lotus flower and a very bright and beautiful shining ray of golden light, as well as a very high massive wall made of gold with some unknown characters carved on it.
On the last morning of the retreat, we meditated at the plaza of the National Palace Museum at Yan Ming Mountain. During the meditation, I did not feel the time pass! At that moment, I could see more star light than usual, this silver light was the size of grain and twinkling, nonstop. I felt that my eyelids were too tight so I opened my eyes a little. Oh! My God! It was too marvelous and beautiful!! Above the heads of all the initiates was a sea of silver waves, twinkling and leaping restlessly.
I looked to the other end of the sky and I could see the clouds moving to form the shape of an ancient general . They kept on receding as if in slow motion. The scene was very clear. I turned my head and looked at the silver rays of light, which were still twinkling. After some time I closed my eyes and meditated. After a few minutes, I opened my eyes again but the silver sea of star light had disappeared.
These were my experiences during the Seven-day Retreat. But during the sound contemplation, I still don't hear anything. Master! Please enlighten me! Finally I would like to thank You for Your delicate love and care. Thank You Master.
Wishing Master good health!
Your Disciple Chen
Dear sister Chen
Even though you did not have any inner experiences right after initiation, during the International Seven-day Retreat you had many truly marvelous experiences. This proves that the power of group meditations and retreats is incredible - all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas come to give us their blessing - and the Quan Yin Method is the supreme method.
Every initiate should have experience of the inner sound. Maybe the sound was not what you expected, so you thought you did not experience anything. Supersonic sound cannot be described in worldly terms, and during initiation only a few examples can be given and even then only very roughly described. While doing the Quan Yin, focus on the wisdom eye. There should be some kind of sound. Perhaps you are doing something wrong. You should ask those initiates at the information desk during mass group meditations to help you.
Wishing you spiritual progress.
