Receiving
initiation into the Quan Yin Method was one of the luckiest events in
my life. Ever since, my days have been filled with wonders, one of which
I would like to share with readers of the News.
Shortly after being initiated
I learned that my sister’s unborn baby girl had been diagnosed
with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), a serious congenital disorder involving
heart lesions and other defects. Two medical specialists confirmed the
diagnosis and it was suggested that the baby undergo open-heart surgery
at least four to five times during her first years of life. The whole
family cried upon hearing this opinion.
From local fellow practitioners
I came to hear of many positive experiences and great wonders that had
resulted from sincere meditation practice. So placing complete faith
in Master, we began meditating “till our bottoms fell off.”
I also tried to convince my family about the positive effects of prayer
and meditation, even in very serious cases, by relating Master’s
teachings and sending them articles I had found on the Internet. In
addition, my mother began praying diligently in an effort to improve
the situation.
Some weeks later the first relief
came when my sister visited another specialist trained in cardiology,
who said that the baby’s condition had improved; specifically,
an opening in her aorta had decreased in size. This breakthrough urged
us to continue meditating under Master’s guidance.
Several months later, the child,
named Rose by her parents, was delivered under stressful conditions
with a special medical team standing by, ready to act if necessary.
Fortunately, however, all went well, and several days after the birth,
the new parents were summoned to the doctor’s office. The doctor
was very pleased as he could share fantastic news, adding that this
was a rare occasion for him. All of the baby’s problems had miraculously
subsided! There was still a tiny hole in her aorta, but some tissue
was already growing over it, indicating a complete recovery. This had
never happened before in his experience as the serious problems associated
with TOF do not normally heal by themselves. One can imagine the smiles
on the faces of our whole family. Our relief and gratitude were enormous.
This wonderful story illustrates
the depth of Master’s grace and the boundlessness of Her unconditional
love. Her intercession in the case of little Rose is more help than
I could have ever wished for.
Thank You, Master, for showing
me the way to God. Thank You again.
