The Great Spiritual Response Of Tantrayana

Chapter 10 - Changing For Better Luck In Marriage

A young undergraduate came for consultation. I told him:" You will get married next year!"

He laughed: "Grandmaster, that is impossible. I am only in my second year of my university course. I only intend to get married after my graduation. Grand master, you must have made a mistake!" I told him seriously. "August 17th next year is your wedding day." By using my mind power, I could see the calendar hanging on the wall of his house."

He shook his head. "Grandmaster, I came for consultation on my mother's behalf, not for myself. Did I ask you to predict my marriage?"

I said again: "On your wedding day, the bridal car is deep blue in colour. Like watching a movie, I see your bride's home, and there is a well there!"

A strange thing happened.

The young man went to a classmate's house in the second year, and he met Chao Xiu Xiu. It was love at first sight, nothing could stop them. Their parents asked for an auspicious day for them to get married. And it was on August 17th. And the bridal car they rented was really deep blue in colour.

The most fantastic of all was Chao Xiu Xiu's house did have a well.

The well does not belong to her family. It is shared by the neighbours. I told him the wrong thing.

But the young disciple still sent me the wedding invitation card. He wrote humorously:

It does have a well,

But it's not hers,

Wonderful foresight of Grandmaster went astray,

I am very glad on his mistake.

On the subject of changing for better luck in marriage, may I disclose a letter. (The charm for the early arrival of marriage is effective.)

Om mani padme Hum

My dear Grandmaster and his wife,

Please accept my homage. I received a charm for the early arrival of marriage at the beginning of the year. And my wish is fulfilled now. The wedding ceremony was held on October 18th. My whole family is very glad to have received your empowerment. We have great confidence in you. Enclosed is US$300. This is to fulfil my vow. We are indeed grateful to you, Grandmaster and to Buddas and Bodhisattvas. We shall continue to have faith in Buddhism, to learn more from Buddhism until we are all enlightened. We shall propagate the True Buddha dharma and wish all sentient beings are enlightened. Also enclosed is my wife's application letter to take refuge in the Grandmaster. Please accept her as a True Buddha disciple; and my wife and I shall be very grateful to you. May peace be with you.

Your disciple Lian Hua Qi Qiu with a hundred bows.
