I am paying my respects to Grandmaster and Master (To, Thay)
Greetings to DongQuan, religious brothers and sisters

Dear To, Thay
During the Initiation Ceremony I conducted, the following children experienced visions of Buddha:

Nguyen Xuan Dương- 9 years old boy, while praying to Amitabha buddha saw himself walking among clouds and encountered Kwan Yin Bodhisattva.

NTD – An eight year-old girl while praying to Amitabha Buddha, received divine confirmation as she saw a Buddha with big ears seated on a shining lotus.

DXH, A 13 years old boy while praying to Kwan Yin Boddhisattva saw a big eye in front of him.

NVQA, A male 13 years old, while praying to Rulai Buddha, saw a yellow Buddha flying and touching down in front of him.

NSD 8 years old male, praying to Amitabha buddha. Divine confirmation: Saw the Monkey King causing havoc in heavens and saw Rulai Buddha imprisoned the Monkey King under the mountain.

In the past, I neglected to devote myself to learning metaphysical principles and practicing them through initiating others into the Secret Teachings. Only recently have I initiated a few individuals into these teachings. I deeply regret not valuing what I had been given during that time. I earnestly wish for the blessings and guidance of To and Thay to help me further in my spiritual practice. I aspire to correct my errors, refine my character, and become a beneficial member of my family and society.

My sincere thanks and appreciation

Divine vision of Buddha from the age of 6

I bow down to Grand Master and Master,

Last night, February 16, 2014, was a happy day with my family. While my 6-year-old son, Huy Long, and I were flying kites, Sister Van called me. I told Long to go to bed so I could talk to Sister Van, but he wanted to stay up and be like me. I explained he needed rest for school, but he insisted on meditating with me, as he had done before. So, I let him join. We recited the name of Kwan Yin Bodhisattva together, and then he sat quietly, chanting the Buddha’s name while I guided Sister Van through Essential Dharanis.

After about 5 minutes, the child tapped me to get my attention, but I remained silent, prompting him to continue. When I turned to look at him, he exclaimed, “Dad, I see the Buddha, many Buddhas!” Assuming he was playing, I inquired:

– How big is the Buddha?
– The child responded, “Very big, as big as our house.”
– Is the Buddha sitting or standing, and where is he?
– The child answered, “The Buddha is sitting on green, pink, and white.” (I inferred that he meant the Buddha was seated on a lotus throne.)
– Did the Buddha say anything?
– The child hesitated, but then replied, “The Buddha said something from your Old_Guru Secret Teaching book.” (I wasn’t entirely certain about this part, as the child’s response seemed uncertain, as if he couldn’t recall.)

Later, the child tapped me again. When I looked, he said, “Dad, I have been bestowed with the Buddha’s Sacred Seal!” I was astonished because I hadn’t used the term “Buddha’s Sacred Seal” since initiating Sister Van. In that moment, I believed my child had been accepted for spiritual cultivation by Spirit guides. Deeply moved, I asked, “Did you receive the Sacred Seal of Vairocana Buddha or Kwan Yin Bodhisattva?” The child replied, “The Vairocana Buddha’s Sacred Seal, just now.”

After a while, the child tapped me again and said, “Dad, I see four dragons, two green ones and two red ones. They are all soldiers of the Vairocana Buddha, and two red dragons are descending to take me to meditate with the Vairocana Buddha.”

– How big are the four dragons?
– The child responded, “Very big and long enough to reach the clouds. Dad, do you know how many legs a dragon has?”
– I admitted, “I don’t know.” The child extended four fingers and said, “A dragon has four legs.”
– “Where do you sit on the dragon for it to take you to meet the Vairocana Buddha?” I asked.
– The child replied, “I sit on the neck of the dragon and on a lotus leaf.”
– “Do you meditate alone with the Vairocana Buddha, or are there other Buddhas present?” I inquired.
– The child raised two fingers and said, “On this side, two Buddhas; on the other side, two Buddhas. The Vairocana Buddha sits in the middle, and all the Buddhas look alike.”

A few minutes later, the child tapped me again and said, “There are so many Buddhas, dad! The Buddhas are lined up in long rows, and each Buddha holds something small, like drops of water.”

– Is it a vase? I asked, and the child confirmed it.

– “Is it Kwan Yin Bodhisattva?” I questioned, and the child affirmed.

– “What color robe is Kwan Yin Bodhisattva wearing?” I inquired.
– The child responded, “White.”

– “What color robes are the other Buddhas wearing?” I asked.
– The child replied, “Many colors, and there are so many; red, green, yellow, purple, orange… the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are lined up in long rows, reaching from the ground past our house, and I am standing in front with them.”

– “What are you doing there?” I questioned.
– The child answered, “I am standing there with my eyes open, standing on a lotus throne with my eyes open, and my Spirit Guide is standing behind me.”

At this moment, I wholeheartedly believe that the child has indeed received the Buddha’s Sacred Seal. Despite my initial disbelief at the innocent child’s words, it became evident that this was indeed the truth. As it was late, around 11 o’clock at night, I escorted the child to bed to ensure he would be ready for school the next day. I felt a sense of joy and silently expressed gratitude to the Grandmaster and Master for imparting to us the precious Dharma and for welcoming our child into the fold of the Heaven Secret Teachings School, despite his tender age. I am deeply appreciative of the Grandmaster and Master’s guidance.
