First, I would like to thank Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi. I prostrate myself to him 1,080 times. I am so grateful to him.
Thank you Hoy Master for always welcoming me, and making special accommodations for me, and for looking after me, for helping me and guiding me and teaching me and protecting me and blessing me. You have given me so much, I can’t possibly thank you enough, or mention all the blessings you have given me.
Thank you for teaching me some more Kung Fu and allowing me to stand as your Dharma Guard. It was the highest honor I have ever had, unfortunately, your Kung Fu is so much better than mine, if anything happened, you would probably have to guard me!
Thank you so much for allowing me to attend your converted student class and making special arrangements for me so that I could participate with all the other students. This class was really excellent, the teaching, the empowerment, the practice, the mudra and mantra, and the effect were all wonderful.
During the class, we sat to practice expelling toxins. It really worked. I felt like a mountain of dirt and garbage was pushed out of me. It was intense, and difficult, and also wonderful. I felt my heart, my mind, my will, and my body becoming much cleaner. My third eye opened up a little bit, and it started to become sensitive. My heart opened up a lot, and I remembered the line from the Diamond Sutra, about being compassionate and charitable to all beings without attachment or distinction. I contemplated on that, and I was able to start to understand and practice it.
Looking into my past in this life and other lives I saw that there was a huge amount of dust obscuring my mind. I was able to get rid of a lot, but there is still a lot left. I saw a veil of dust surrounding this life, and I knew that the real knowledge of a Buddha lay on the other side.
I want to become your converted disciple so I can achieve my vow of becoming a Buddha in this life. Becoming a Buddha is what is really in my heart. This world seems so small to me, I will never be comfortable here until I see clearly into the nature of the universe and the nature of the mind. I have seen a little bit and it was wonderful beyond my imagination and conception. I really want to see more. I have felt the heart of Buddha a little, and it was beyond wonderful. I have tasted just a little bit of the Buddha’s dharma, but just that little bit is the most precious and meaningful part of my whole life, I can’t stop until I see as much as I can.
I see that there is still so many things obscuring my heart and my mind, and I need to reach a higher level to purify myself further. The only way to do this is through your dharma. I beg you, Holy Ziguang Shang Shi, please teach me more, and let me become your converted disciple.
My purpose in this world is to follow in the path of the Buddha and of Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi, and spread enlightenment and wisdom and blessings to all beings, that is the greatest joy and the greatest mission for a person, my heart will never be fulfilled until I can do that.
My heart is bigger than this life and bigger than this world, I want to see all the beings in all the worlds and bring the light of the Buddha to them all.
Holy Master, what you have to offer beyond the price of all the treasures of all eternity, the best thing I can offer you is a mind, and body, and heart that can learn what you have to teach and spread it to others. But if you want my belt, it is pretty nice.
Thank you with all my heart Ziguang Shang Shi
