As my hand holds the pen to write this letter, I have a strong feeling of love and a desire to thank You and express my love to You in a worldly way.

Dear Master, I was initiated on April 2, 2000, the day when I was reborn in forgiveness and love! You have given me a lot in both the physical and spiritual domains. You teach me to use my wisdom instead of my mind to analyze, You motivate me when I am lazy in meditation and You comfort me when I suffer.

I often notice my mind cheating me. As I try to get rid of my ego, the mind traps me unconsciously in another form of ego. But when I pray to You for forgiveness, you cleanse me at once. You are always by my side to encourage and console me. Sometimes, You tell me, "Just let go! Once you renounce all, you'll become light and free to fly higher and higher." When I try to let go of one hand, though, my other hand cannot help but take it back. When I shed tears of disappointment, you continue to comfort me with love. Dear Master, the truth is that without Your benevolence, my soul would not have the chance to attain inner peace. Thank You, dear Master. On the way to our Father's Home, I will try to repay you by meditating diligently.

I always wish to attend group meditation with You, even just once! However, my physical condition does not permit me to go on long trips so I simply have to accept my situation. And lately, You've been holding many Internet conferences with fellow initiates around the world. Oh, it was such a great opportunity for me to be with you directly. Dear Master, why do You spoil Your children so much?

One day, I was sitting on my bed, dreaming about the day when the Hamburg Center would have an Internet conference with Master. If it occurred, I promised I would go there to meet You just one time at any cost, even though I live far from the Center. At that time, I would sing a small song for You that I have treasured since my younger days to show my love for You.

The following are the lyrics of the song:

"Now I see, understand and believe that the Lord has listened to my prayers and showed me the way to this place, to satisfy my endless longing! Now, I see, understand, and am full of love, with which I vow to dedicate myself to You forever, to be loyal all my life, even through hardship and suffering."

Guess what, Master? The next morning, the contact person called and told me that You would host an Internet conference with the Hamburg Center four days later.

Dear Master, You are number one! One more time, You made my wish come true. I was so happy about the news! Then the day arrived -- October 6, 2002! Despite many obstacles and difficulties, and with skillful arrangement by the Center and local initiates, I was there! I was so happy that I totally forgot this world!

Master, do You know something? I felt Your love, intense and warm, flowing from You to all of my bodily cells. I was intoxicated and greatly thankful for that. I don't know what to do to repay Your boundless love for me.

Finally, I can only pray that You teach me:

-- To love others because I am loved eternally by God;

-- To forgive others because I was forgiven;

-- To comfort others because I was comforted.

-- Please don't let me fall into any temptation so that I may be liberated forever from the sea of suffering.
