Special Reports----Echoes Of The Australian Retreat

By Brother Initiate Hsieh Huan Chai, Formosa

The recent retreat in Australia was in the vast Cataract Scout National Park. The freezing cold temperatures during the morning meditation sessions made one's mind well focused, while the warm sun in the afternoons allowed us to happily enjoy the love of the Buddhas' land. The spiritual experience during this retreat was so warm and comfortable that it was like bathing in a natural hot spring.

During the meditation, I saw the Buddhas' land and my heart was thrown open. While spiritually intoxicated, an unexpected beam of Light caught my attention. When I looked around, I noticed that all fellow practitioners looked like Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from the Buddhas' land -- all in deep samadhi. Surely, this scene could only exist in a paradise.

In the evening, Master allowed fellow practitioners to go up onto the stage to ask questions. Whenever fellow practitioners asked negative questions, the lighting in the marquee would become dim. However, whenever a fellow practitioner asked a positive question, the lighting would return to its original brightness. Such an amazing phenomenon is difficult to describe, one had to be there to experience it.

Although I had not asked any questions openly, Master had already used Light to rid me of my "garbage" and Her purified magnetic field to remove the obstacles in my spiritual practice. Suddenly I felt set free and was totally immersed in bliss. Undoubtedly, the Buddhas' paradise has already descended into the world!
