As soon as he brought the magazine back that evening, we looked for the phone number in it and found that right in Pennsylvania there was a branch Center. I called them right away and the brother initiate said to me excitedly, "You really have affinity with Master! She is coming to New York in three days time. If you want to see Her, you can come with us in our car. I was thrilled and said, "Thank You, brother and sister. I do want to go see Master. I have been longing for this day to come! The brother then replied, "No need to thank us. Just thank Master!
When I meditated that night, I said to my inner Master, "No matter how difficult it might be, I will definitely go see You!
When the fellow initiates came to pick me up their sincerity, cordiality and steadfast faith in Master made my daughter's apprehension vanish completely, and she saw us off happily. There was only laughter and words of joy throughout the entire trip to New York. Although we had only just met, we were like family. As it was the first time I went to New York, and the first time I got to see Master and attend group meditation, I felt a little nervous. A sister initiate said to me affectionately, "Don't worry! Master will take good care of you.
The Quan Yin family gave me endless warmth, and because of You, Master, I received meticulous care.
Master, so beautiful and radiant, finally appeared. She talked cheerfully and humorously to the disciples. My nervousness eased, and I felt as if time and space had stood still. I could only hear waves of laughter reverberating throughout the area. Like a kind mother, Master gazed attentively at each disciple. All the children were intoxicated in a sea of love.
In the past, I imagined many beautiful dreams of meeting Master. Now, my dreams had come true. I am overflowed with happiness, for I finally saw Her in person. I stood very near to Master; and with warm tears, I could not take my eyes off of Her.
Master, beckoned by Your love, we came to Your side to enjoy Your holy grace. For the rest of my life I will not forget the day I first saw You. Inspired by Your love and teachings, the brothers and sisters in the noble Quan Yin order became one in the holy love. There was nothing between us, even if we might have never met before, we cared about each other sincerely. I pray that even more people who have affinity can enter the door of the Quan Yin family.
