| Dear
venerable Master Ching Hai,
You have transformed my life so beautifully
that I can hardly find words to express my inner feelings. Your
great wisdom, infinite love and teachings have made me a new
person, and my view of life has changed tremendously. I pray
that the Highest God will bestow longevity on You, so that You
can lead more people toward wisdom, the Light, and the path
of eternal liberation.
For a very long time, dear Master, I have been
praying to God to guide me on to the right path. Hes answered
me by bringing me to You. Indeed, You are God's gift to us sentient
beings!
Dear Master, forgive me for writing such a long
letter, because I want very much to let You know how the Father
guided me to You, and how You have come into my life.
Born into a religious family, I thought little
about God until my father's death, which changed everything.
I often missed my father and kept asking myself, "Where
is he now? Is he all right? Is he suffering any pain?"
My father was an only son, so after his death, everyone seemed
to discard our family. Each night, I spent a long time gazing
into the unfathomable sky, and the stars above seemed to tell
me, "He is somewhere in the sky."
As the eldest son of the family, I often wondered
whether I could bring real "felicity" to my family.
Each time this thought came into my mind, I would have a sleepless
night. Finally, I started praying sincerely, and decided to
put myself in God's hands, and let Hirm guide me toward the
path of Truth and take care of everything for me.
After graduating from the university with a
degree in information technology, I stayed in my country, Cameroon,
to work. Each time I encountered difficulties and felt worried,
I would pray to God and ask Hirm to help me solve my problems.
I went to church to pray every Sunday, and participated in church
activities. However, I failed to feel contented, so I stopped
going to church after a while. Nevertheless, I continued to
pray at home and study the Bible, hoping to find answers to
all kinds of doubts in my heart.
Later, I left Cameroon for South Africa, and
before my departure prayed to God, "Oh! Father! My life
belongs to You and I have entrusted myself in You. I will comply
with Your will. Please guide me Home." When I arrived in
Johannesburg, I stayed with a family of Quan Yin practitioners.
Their way of life touched me deeply and I received much mental
support and love from them. Later they gave me the sample booklet,
The Key of Immediate Enlightenment, but I did not read the booklet
immediately.Three weeks later, I discussed the Bible with one
of the practitioners and was quite amazed by his understanding
of the scriptures. His elaboration totally coincided with the
world I had been seeking. When I asked him how he came to know
so much, he replied, "Dear Patrick, the Quan Yin Method
helps me to know a lot of things." Pointing at Your photo,
he said, "This Lady has been sent to us by God. You left
Cameroon most probably because of the Quan Yin Method, and not
because of your career in the computer information sector."
I went home and immediately began to read the sample booklet
and made cross references to the Bible.
After reading the sample booklet, I was absolutely
awed by Your great wisdom and love, because I had not expected
that anyone on Earth could possibly elaborate on the Truth in
such a pure and incisive way. When reading the chapter entitled
"Why People Must Be Vegetarian," I could feel the
pain that the meat-eating diet inflicts on animals, and was
so ashamed that I cried. I repented and begged for God's forgiveness,
and vowed that I would never eat meat again. I decided to follow
Your teachings, which are very correct, pure and virtuous. Since
then, I have been observing a vegetarian diet. I also prayed
more and more frequently; on the first two days of each month,
I fasted and prayed incessantly, begging God to guide me towards
the Truth.
Four months later, I made the acquaintance of
a very cordial friend. One day, when we were having a hearty
chat, he suddenly said to me, "You know what, Patrick?
You are glowing!" At that moment, I realized that God had
answered my prayers. Through Your teachings, Hes had brought
Light into my life. No doubt the Quan Yin Method is the answer
to all my perplexities. On the following Saturday, I began practicing
the Convenient Method, and am now waiting for the Quan Yin messenger
to conduct an initiation in my area.
Dear revered Master, I again beg You to forgive
me for this lengthy letter, but I really want You to know how
You have changed my life. Because of You, I have been able to
join this school of divine love and wisdom. For a long time,
I had encountered misfortune, and the hardships of life left
me in fear and confusion. It is You who have brought back my
smile and given me inner peace. Throughout my life, I have never
felt so peaceful; I feel as if I have been born anew, and am
embarking on a new life.
But one thing that puzzles me is that, each
time I take up the Bible to read it, I shed tears uncontrollably.
I have difficulty attending to worldly matters, because my mind
is fully occupied by thoughts of God. I only have Hirm and You
on my mind. Every day, I read Your News magazines, study the
Bible, and gaze at Your photos. I can never stop thanking You
for becoming my Master. Besides, I often voluntarily contribute
money and clothing to the needy, because I want very much to
help others.
Dear revered Master, now I know that it was
for the Quan Yin Method that I left Cameroon. I need Your divine
love and wisdom to find my way back to the Heavenly Kingdom,
and to help all suffering people. During all my time in Cameroon,
I thought, "I do not live for myself, but for other people."
Therefore, I often dream that I can be just like You, and become
an Enlightened Master to disseminate the teachings of Truth.
Please help me realize my dream. Thank You very much, Supreme
Master Ching Hai! Thank You for coming into my life!
Your disciple,
Dejeumo Patrick |
