CHAPTER
24 - Another Evidence for Remote
Spiritual Healing March 23, 1983 Grand Master Sheng-Yen, On the 12th of last November, I received the two talismans and have used them according to your instructions. That is, after they were burnt, they were put into water. Besides, a Tantric shrine has been set up, and day and night I form the great mudra for calamity-eradication and chant the Great Compassion Mantra, retributing all merits to my wife Yu-ying and my son Fan-xing. It is several months now since I started, and both of them have recovered a lot. Due to grave karmic conditions and hindrances, they still need grand master's blessing and help. And of course it takes time as well. In the past few days, I have carefully observed both of them. I can say they have been very quiet as if they have completely recovered. So I write this letter immediately to let you know. I first express my heart-felt thanks and then ask for instructions on how to study Buddhism for a better life. My gratitude can not be adequately expressed by this piece of paper which is a token of how grateful I feel. Sun Jia-liang sends his regards to Grand Master, With Dharma pleasure Ding Lian This letter is a wonderful proof. Yu-ying and Fan-xing are two patients who have long been suffering from mental disorder. Mr. Sun Jia-liang is a disciple of Master Yin Shun. Sun Jia-liang wrote to his Master Yin Shun who was in Taiwan in his attempt to save the two patients. Master Yin Shun asked Master Ming Sheng to write back to Hong Kong to tell Mr. Sun Jia-liang my address in the States. After I was contacted, I also set up a Tantric Shrine in my house and used "the secret trace vajra method" to heal them. I formed the great mudra for calamity-eradication 108 times every day. The secret method worked as flying rainbows of spiritual healing: rays of red light flew across the Pacific Ocean to reach the patients. Now they have completely recovered. This is very good news. No words can describe how happy I felt. However, when one case is finished, another beings. My "salvation program" seems never to come to an end. When the people are ill, I feel as if I myself was ill. To say other people is as urgent as putting out fires-no delay is allowed. My dear reader, here is another letter: April 4, 1983 Grand Master Lu, Three days ago, I ordered your book Spiritual Healing by Flying Rainbow and wrote to ask for your address. The book dealer wrote back saying that you are not at home these days. So I am writing this letter to earnestly request your help. My wife, Hong He, and I are both teachers in a province-run middle school, in the southern part of Taiwan. Hong He is a graduate, with honors, of the English Department of a Normal University, 34 years of age, born at the fifth watch, 25th, March, in the year of the tiger. After marriage, we had a baby and we were very happy. However, just before the Spring Festival this year, the most unfortunate thing occurred. My wife was at home reading books by Miss Xi Mu-rong (an artist from Xiu Zhu Teachers School) and by Miss Zhang Xiao-feng (famous writer from Ming Yang Medical College), she was intoxicated, and began to live in a world of illusion. For example, she regretted that she didn't give our child a happy childhood. Her thoughts ran wild, jumping from one thing to another. She no longer studied after classes, nor would she do any knitting or travelling. She indulged in fantasy; in her dreamland, she is infatuated by Xi Mu-rong and Zhang Xiao-feng, craving for a way of life like theirs-writing as they do, painting as they do, socializing as they do. Why was it that she can't do anything like that? Why was she so stupid, clumsy, knowing nothing else except teaching English at a middle school? Thinking like that for days and days, she lost control of herself. She trembled and was frightened as she thought that she was as good as disabled. Her nerves could no longer support her; she couldn't fall asleep at night. She began to take sleeping pills which didn't help much. I tried to comfort her, encourage her, and told her to be tough and strong, forgetting them all, but to no avail. The images of the two writers pursued her, appearing at inconceivable places and at inconceivable hours. She was becoming very thin and pail, and didn't want to do any work, not even her teaching job. Doctors have been called in, but she would not respond to any treatment. Various divinations have been sought, but to little avail. One divination a month ago indicated that two female ghosts are troubling her. This is quite right. The two ghosts are not Xi Mu-rong and Zhang Xiaog-feng; that was her own fantasy. We were told to pray and we did, and again nothing happened. I have read many books by Grand Master and know that Grand Master has great super-natural powers. I intended to draw my own talismans according to those in your book Spiritual Healing by Flying Rainbow, but I was afraid that I don't have much cultivated power to make them effective and that I was not confident enough as I have never done it before. All I can do now is to write this letter to request the Grand Master for help. Please, Grand Master, set up a Tantric shrine and use the most secret method to help my wife to break away from the two ghosts and recover her previous graceful bearing. Please, Grand Master, help her to get away from the control of the two shadows of Xi Mu-rong and Zhang Xiao-feng, find herself again, regain confidence in herself, and live a normal life once more. I beg you, Grand Master, to accept my request at any event. If she recovers, I shall repay you for such kindness. Please trust us that we are honest workers in education and will not cheat you. I wonder if Grand Master would save the whole family of us. I am fully occupied now, teaching at school, doing household chores, taking care of my wife, and looking after my child. I feel I won't be able to stand this any longer. I pin the only hope on you, Grand Master, for now I don't trust anybody else. If Grand Master comes to help and frees my wife from the mercy of the two ghosts, I shall worship Grand Master's photo and remember your kindness for the rest of my life. Let me beg the Heaven and Grand Master once more. Thank Grand Master for your blessing. If possible, let me know when you return home. I should pay you a visit in person. Best wishes! Chen Chang-qing I have these points of explanation to make about this letter: First, there are many kinds of mental disorder patients and they are most complicated. There are now countless people suffering from this who have recovered with help of my spiritual healing. There are a train-load of them. But what I want to make clear here is this: it is difficult to fully recover if they have been ill for more than eight years, because the nerves have been too tired for too long-an overused spring loses its elasticity. Even if they do recover, they may look a bit slow-witted. I hope my clients understand this. Second, when one is enchanted by something (anything), it is possible to lose control of one's nerves, for instance by reading, examinations, love, career, drinking, spotless cleanness, religion and sitting quietly. This happens when your own mind can't control itself. To avoid all this, you must live a regular and normal life, with normal sleep, normal food and drink, normal recreation activities, so that you are the master of your own life. When anything gets abnormal, you must immediately adjust it. If you can't return to normal by yourself, consult a doctor for treatment, both physiologically and psychologically. Please do not delay it. The longer it is delayed, the more trouble it will bring. Third, recently, there are more and more readers who ask me for "remote spiritual healing" and in my tantric shrine the number of Eight characters (in four pairs, indicating the year, month, day and hour of a person's birth used for fortune-telling) increases daily. I evoke my powers day and night, and perform the sessions as prescribed. There is one hope in my heart-all sentient beings, after recovering their illness and sufferings, study Buddhism, and all of them will attain supreme achievement. This is my sincerest hope.
