I am very grateful for Master’s teachings. The many tests that I experienced in the past 12 years have reformed my character and fostered my love and compassion. It is Master who has completely changed me. I was frivolous and just playing around, but paid much attention to my reputation. However, in the past 12 years, I chose a self cultivation lesson: opening a nursing home for the elderly sisters who are cared for by no one. For one month all by my self and under difficult conditions, I treated my patients during the day, and in the night, I purchased materials and fixed a house in the mountains. Even though fixing a house was tiring and full of hardship, I always felt very blissful because of the inner Master’s accompaniment and encouragement.

I used to be fearful and lacked compassion. Master used everyday experiences to train and bless me. For example, one day when I was working at the house for the nursing home, an elderly lady came and asked me to treat her ill husband. Before going with her, I asked her, “Are there snakes on the mountains where you live?” She said, “No.” I asked, “Why are there no snakes?” She then answered, “A few days ago a nearby temple set captured snakes free to other places. So there are no snakes in our mountains.” But later, when we were walking on a mountain slope, I saw many snakes. Then, the lady told me: “Dr. Yang, don’t be scared. I am here, and I can hit the snakes.” I had only one thought in my mind: pray for Master’s blessings to let the snakes quickly go away. I told the lady not to hit the snakes but to immediately pray to Quan Yin Bodhisattva. At the same time, I was reciting Master’s Name and the Five Holy Names in my mind. In about 5 minutes, I saw a colorful rainbow and many lotus flowers emerging in the front sky and coming toward us. I attentively looked at the rainbow and the lotus flowers, and did not feel afraid at all. The vision continued for about 5 minutes. Then, the lady surprisingly cried out, “Dr. Yang, there is a Quan Yin Bodhisattva on your head. And there are lotus flowers. How beautiful the Quan Yin is!” At that moment, I looked at the ground and saw that all the snakes disappeared! The lady also told me, “When the Quan Yin Bodhisattva appeared on your head, the snakes moved away very gently.” Later, when I followed the lady to her home to treat her husband, they asked me why Quan Yin Bodhisattva appeared on my head. I told them, “You should observe a vegetarian diet, and set captured animals free. When you meet sentient beings, do not hurt them.”

There are many fellow initiates in my county, and they all have stories of gratefulness. I have twin daughters who have been vegetarians since my pregnancy, and they received their initiation last year. I am very grateful that Master has bestowed blessings and love on them. They also thank Master deep from their hearts.
