To the Most Divine Lady of the Universe, Supreme
Master Ching Hai,
Let us not lead ourselves into temptation, but
let us follow in the footsteps of our Beloved Master in loving,
in caring, in being kind to others and in helping wherever we
can.
One evening I was lying on my cot at the Leeuwkop
Correctional Services facility thinking of Master, and I experienced
the most divine, joyful dream - or was it a dream? Anyway, a
non-initiate would never understand my experience and would
probably think that I was out of my mind. I believed what I
saw and I even spoke to a Catholic Priest and explained my vision
to him. The priest told me that what I experienced was true.
Master, You lifted me out of this world and
I soared up above the clouds, far beyond this world. I have
never seen such beauty in my life - the beautiful, noble animals
and the breathtaking surroundings in the heavenly garden where
Master appeared to me.
In the center of my vision stood a throne covered
in pearls and diamonds, on which Divine Master Ching Hai sat,
smiling beautifully and waiting patiently for me. My words to
Master were: "Am I welcome to see You here in this paradise?"
"Oh, yes!" Master answered, in a very welcoming manner.
I then said to myself, "God, is this true, what I see?"
It was like an answer to my prayers. "Yes, Steven, follow
the beloved Mother of the Universe and She will guide you and
lead you to me and you will be blessed. Only good will come
your way as you follow Master." I next asked Master, "Can
I please stay here?" "No," Master Ching Hai answered.
She went on to say, "Steven, my child, you are not yet
ready." And she laughed at me, being somewhat amused and
with deep love in her heart. Everything was very pure. I asked
Master what I must do to come and stay. She answered, "Become
more confident in yourself and do not love only some while detesting
others." I thought to myself, "How does Master know
all this?" She told me, "Your life was tough with
your father and mother; forgive them. You cannot live on with
all that hatred in you." I then said, "Thank You,
Master. I will try my best." Master smiled and replied,
"Don't try; just do it!" So I prayed, "Master
Ching Hai, guide me, pray for me!" Once more Master leaned
back and laughed Her special laugh.
After that,
my mind became clear and I felt very good. I got down on my
knees and forgave my father and then said, "Thank You,
Master, for Your guidance and assistance. I believe in You.
God bless You! I know that Your love for me will never die."
I am now a new person thanks to the Divine Master
Ching Hai!
