My reverential salute to Grand Master, and Teacher

I and my little sister Thien Nhi would like to report to Grand Master and Teacher the wonderful blessing from the Celestial Scroll that was granted to us.

Dear Grand Master and Teacher, more than a week ago, our mom got into a traffic accident with serious injuries, she became unconscious upon arrival to the hospital and the doctor said her case was hopeless. Thien Nhi immediately called religious sister An Hue (AH) for help. Sis AH then relayed it to Teacher, adding that our mom had received the Initiation Rite and has been reciting Dharanis. Teacher asked sister AH if our mom had ever been granted the Celestial Scroll. After the negative answer from AH, Teacher made an exception by allowing us to pray for the Celestial Scroll on behalf of our mother so her soul would be protected and guided to Heaven by the Buddhas.

I was working far from home that night when I got the tragic news and hastily rode my motor bike to the hospital, when sis AH called and informed me about the Scroll for my mother, urging me to hurry up. I was so thrilled I instantly burst into tears and sped down the road as a flying arrow. Thien Nhi was waiting for me at the hospital’s entrance. We hurriedly went to an acquaintance’s house nearby and asked to use the altar in their home.

Then, Thien Nhi relayed to me that mom was already unconscious when she got there. She had a vision of mom standing beside her hospital bed with a Spirit Guardian in white clothing next to her. In the vision mom looked confused and anxiously asked, “Why am I here?” Thien Nhi cried and said: Mom, I’d like you to pray to the Buddhas and listen to their guidance, will you”.

Thien Nhi also saw our mom and the Guardian Spirit follow us as we went to the friend’s house. Once there we put a print of the Celestial Scroll on the altar and scribbled the amount of our offering outside an empty envelope. But Thien Nhi’s invisible guardian stopped her from offering it up, and gave her the correct amount she should be offering and allowed us to owe the money if we cannot afford it. We quickly rewrote the amount accordingly. When Thien Nhi offered it up, the Deities said: ‘Offering accepted. Proceed to receive the Scroll.

During the ceremony, Thien Nhi saw a magnificent palace gleamed with a pure white radiance. She saw herself going successively through the doors and into the main hall where there were many Heavenly Spirits, and our mom. One Deity was extremely large, his body emitted brilliant white aura, and TN knew he was the Chairman of the meeting. He sat on the front, the others moved far behind, and much further away was our mom, a pitiful murky appearance, as if she was waiting for absolution. The Chairman, an august, taciturn person, with a look that evokes fear although not hostile said to her: “This is the tremendous privilege bestowed by Grand Master and Teacher that is not for everyone… Hurry up, time is running out!”

Thien Nhi made a reverential salute and a strong force pushed her very fast forward and she picked up the Celestial Yantra and offered it to the Chairman. He passed it along to our mom via his assistant. At the same time an effulgent halo shined down to where our mom and other Spirits were standing, fully enveloping them in the light. And my mom, from being an austere and gloomy woman suddenly appeared tall and beautiful, her face beaming with happiness, and she had the look and manner of an intellectual person in neat and classy clothing that was totally different from her rags when she was alive.

Thien Nhi’s invisible guardian asked her if she wanted to meet her mother for the last time. She replied, “I would like to… if that does not violate the rule”. Another spirit led our mom forward. She said joyfully: My dear children…my thanks to both of you, please send my heartfelt appreciation to Grand Master and Teacher”. Then she turned and flew up in the sky with the other Spirits.
The vision ended. Thien Nhi heard the voice of her invisible Spirit saying: “Quickly clean up and leave to avoid people’s gossips”. We did as told and returned to the hospital.

Dear Grand Master and Teacher.
We were both delighted to have gotten the Celestial Scroll for our mom, and the vision of the Divinities leading our mom to Heaven where she would be cultivating herself spiritually with the High Spirits.

The fact that Teacher granted us permission to pray for the Scroll was precious and had a great meaning to us, such that we don’t know how to express our joy and gratefulness in words. We could only bow down to thank GM and Teacher for the great privilege and special attention for our mom, our family!

Respectfully submitted!

Disciple Thien Nhi salutes Grandmaster and Teacher,

I’d like to continue my mom’s story. As we got back to the hospital, we were heartbroken to see our mom laying there unconscious, but we had to face with problems of indemnification with the responsible party and with the police. An autopsy was required by law in order to assess the cause of injuries and to determine the compensation. My aunt strongly objected the autopsy, everyone else in my family was under stress and could not handle these issues. I prayed to my guardian Spirit and called sis AH for help. Shortly later sis AH gave me Teacher’s advice on the matter. The result of which had satisfied all parties. We received mom’s compensation immediately without legal involvement.

Then, mom quietly passed away as the Doctor pulled out the oxygen tube. We took her body home and I had to conduct the funeral. Being young and inexperienced we were at a loss of what to do with too many opinions from family and relatives. We called sis AH for help and again she relayed Teacher’s advice of what to be said and done, and keep it simple and affordable. So Thien Nhi told both sides of the family about her vision of mom being absolved and led to heaven. No need to call on mediums, Buddhist friends and monks. Afterward we carried out a simple but cozy funeral. My brother and I took turns to recite Dharanis for our beloved mom.

Dear GM and Teacher, two weeks before my mom’s traffic accident I dreamed of my mom dying in the hospital after a car accident. I hastily called and reminded her to practice Dharanis more often, and she did about 9 to 10 rosaries daily. Once, I heard my invisible Guardian telling me, ” One’s soul does not exist in just one lifetime. Study hard. Later you will have a chance to repay your filial duty to your grandmother and mother. I was puzzled because my mom was alive, why did He said so? But soon I let it go until the day I saw my mom on her deathbed I remembered my dream. When I saw her soul standing there I had asked my Guardian Spirit: Could she be saved? He answered No. After two more times asking and receiving the same answer I accepted that her time had come. My guardian spirit had notified me before so I told myself not to become distressed.
Since the ceremony of the Scroll, I did not have any vision of our mom. I know she was not lingering around her coffin but in heaven, with the Deities.
At the time of removing and taking away her coffin, I heard a poem from my Guardian in Sino-Vietnamese which I could not understand and had to ask for a translation:
“Windy storms and hurricanes broke out the day she came.
Gentle sunshine in the spring came the day she left
Move forward quietly and peacefully.

From the first two sentences, we understood that most of my mother’s life was pain and sufferings, she always had more sadness than joy, her marital relationship was rarely at peace. Then after our Initiation into Old_Guru Secret Teaching, our home had become more stable financially and my mom’s life less harsh. At the end, with the Celestial Scroll she had experienced true happiness in being blessed by heavenly Spirits. The last sentence reminded us to be at peace and diligently cultivate our spiritual life.

Dear Teacher, when it’s time to bury our mom, I felt so much pain. But she appeared to me, far away in the sky looking down at me for just a few seconds. I was instantly comforted. Her image reminded me that she was in Heaven, that she was now more happy there than here. I felt relieved remembering her dejected face changing into a bright beaming one after her receiving the Scroll. I just felt sad because I missed her but I was not hurting anymore.

From this experience we both have a deeper understanding of how precious the Celestial Scroll is, and especially the great help from GM and Teacher, thereby allowing us to repay our filial duty to our mother.
I respectfully bow down to show our gratitude and beholden to GM and Teacher.

Disciple Thien Nhi respectfully submitted.
