I used to work in a vegetarian restaurant where I met a brother who introduced me to the Quan Yin Method of meditation. Later, when my mother became ill, I quit my job and stayed home to take care of her. At that time, my mother was suffering a great deal, being unable to eat, move or speak, but her doctors could find no panacea for her illness. By observing her suffering, I realized the ephemeral nature of human life and became eager for initiation into the Quan Yin Method. With the help of several initiated sisters, I began the initiation process by learning the Convenient form of practice.

During the eight months that I looked after my mother, I advised her to maintain a vegetarian diet. Also, the sisters kindly helped us, especially seventy-year-old sister Wen, who regularly came to my house to read Master's teachings and the News magazine to my mother, regardless of the weather. She meditated and shared her merits with my mother as well, giving her great encouragement. In addition, I played Master's Buddhist Chanting tape for my mother each day. During the last few months of her life, my mother fell ill several times, and I fervently wished that she would recover her eyesight before her departure. Through Master's blessings, my wish came true. One of her eyes regained its function and she could even place Master's photo against her lips to kiss it! The sight moved me to tears. How grateful I was to almighty God and Master, and also to the sister who helped us!

After My mother's demise, I had a vision in which a large door opened and many people came to meet her. Although I am still only practicing the Convenient Method, Master's great power has already helped my family, and Her teachings have profoundly influenced my life, inspiring me on the spiritual path. I hope that through Master's care and teachings, I will soon be initiated, gain enlightenment, and as Master says, become a wise, happy, compassionate, giving, sincere and loving disciple!
