By a Quan Yin messenger
There used to be a carpentry workshop at the Hsihu Center, Formosa. I once passed by the workshop and saw engraved in a piece of wood on either side of its entrance a Chinese couplet that read: "Alone am I in the mountains, forests, oceans and lakes; strike and fight, and the country is won." I had no idea where it came from. The brother working in the workshop told me that Master had spoken these words especially for the workshop, and so the workers had engraved the words in wood.
Many years passed, and I did not think of the couplet again until 1999. During Master's lecture tour in the Middle East and South Africa that year, I was assigned to do the liaison work. All of a sudden, this couplet came to mind, making me feel that I was wearing armor and deploying an army to conquer a strange land.
Following Master's footsteps, we went from one country to another. When each of Master's lectures was successfully accomplished, I always felt as if I had just fought a battle under trying circumstances. Fortunately, I had the best Commander-in-Chief, because I was always anxious and excited during the tour, and very often acted too impetuously. Master once told me that She knew very well what to do at the right time, and there was no need to rush Her. Through my work, Master let me realize that, to accomplish a mission, the right opportunity must arise, the time must be right, and the proper location and favorable human resources must be available.
When focused on doing Master's work, the greatest
source of bliss for me is that I always feel the presence of God. Each time
I seek God's help in times of difficulty, Hes never fails me. Thus, it is
no wonder that King David said, "With God on our side, we will win."
This kind of experience is an exclusive privilege to be enjoyed only when
doing Master's work.
