Letters Between Master and Disciples

Revered and beloved Master Ching Hai,

Greetings to You from one of Your disciples in China. On the occasion of the new year, I take this opportunity to wish You good health, success, and happiness in sharing the Truth.

During the last Lunar New Year holiday, I suffered career setbacks that placed a heavy burden on my family and me, and the resulting financial problems seemed far too much for me to deal with. This experience was a heavy mental blow, and I thought of running away from society for the rest of my life. But just as I was about to step into the abyss of no return, I read the sample booklet, The Key of Immediate Enlightenment, at the home of one of Your disciples. Your teachings shed light on my work and set a new direction for my life. Subsequently, I decided to first practice the Convenient Method.

Since then, a year has passed, and in Your care, every member of my family, including myself, has experienced dramatically positive changes. I thank You, Master, with all my heart for delivering my whole family. I can find no words to express my gratitude to You, and can only truthfully abide by Your teachings, and practice seriously to repay Your loving care. Meanwhile, I am eagerly awaiting initiation.

Wishing You a happy new year and all heavenly bliss!

Your Disciple
Li
