Chapter 25 - Overcoming The Black Magic
It is a well-known fact that people in Thailand and Malaysia practise
Black Magic.
Lu Sheng Yen is a household name. His disciples who worship him
will enshrine his photograph and cultivate the Tantra - "Guru
Yoga". When they see him, they will kneel down and prostrate
to him, to show their utmost respect. In their eyes, Lu Sheng Yen
is a Buddha.
For those who oppose him, or become jealous of him, the appearance
of Lu Sheng Yen will blunt their popularity. They will find Lu Sheng
Yen disgusting. In short, there are people who have the greatest
esteem for him; and there are people who want him dead.
It is thus, not surprising for those who practise black magic to
make an attempt on his life, to finish him off with a fatal strike.
The head of Lu Sheng Yen must be the most valuable one in this
world. Once the news that Lu Sheng Yen has been killed by a head-hunter
got around, the sorcerer will be even more popular.
The problem is he must have unrivalled talent in order to deal
with Lu Sheng Yen, otherwise it will be a futile effort.
As I went to bed in the presidential suite of Pearl Hotel, Penang
that night, I smelled a strange fragrance.
"Here they come", I told myself.
I could see things others could not see; and I could feel things
that others could not feel.
About ten child-ghosts that looked like demons lied in wait for
me. Their hairs were sticking out in all directions, and shinning
like a golden light. Their eyes were as stern as a wolf. Their snow-white
teeth were as sharp as thorns, and their bites could kill a healthy
cow instantly. Like demons, they closed in from all directions.
In no time, they surrounded my bed. With a sad and shrill cry, the
ten child-ghosts pounced on me like hungry wolves.
Imagine, a person being attacked by ten child-ghosts at once. Before
he can scream, his neck may be broken, his heart pulled out, his
blood splashed, and his bones crushed; he could be dead in seconds
even if he is a healthy man.
This is Black magic. From nowhere the ten child-ghosts appeared,
they surrounded you like a net. Once they tightened the net, you
will be dead. This was a golden opportunity for the sorcerer who
wanted to kill Lu Sheng Yen. Lu Sheng Yen was sure to die as he
stayed motionless.
Sleeping in gentle and cultivated pose, I took a deep breath, and
changed myself into a Vajra. I visualized myself turning into a
Vajra by reciting the three syllable brightness Mantra "Lang,
Yang, Kang."
Remaining in my bed, I did not move, nor did I get up and run away
hastily. In fact, I did not step up my defence. At that precious
last moment, the sound "Ka cha, Ka cha," could be heard
vividly. Maybe Lu Sheng Yen's neck was broken, his arms, legs and
fingers were all bitten into pieces.......... Tragedies occurred
in this world quite often, but wonderful things always befell on
Master Lu Sheng Yen. He was still perfectly alright in his bed.
The first "Ka cha, Ka cha," was the sound made by the
broken teeth of the first child-ghost; and the second "Ka cha,
Ka cha," was the sound made by the broken teeth of the second
child-ghost. In fact, all the ten child-ghosts had their teeth broken
into pieces.
I knew they were the most proficient man-eaters. They had attacked
many people and their victims appeared to have died of heart attacks.
They have never failed so far. They never show sympathy as they
are loyal to their master who commands them.
They were unhappy to have met their Waterloo; they screamed as
they lost all their teeth.
Their target was Lu Sheng Yen, the one and only Lu Sheng Yen. If
Lu Sheng Yen can be killed by Black Magic, then he should not be
called Lu Sheng Yen.
Black magic is strange and surreptitious. So is my Tantra. It is
very difficult if not impossible to explain.
This chapter is about overcoming the black magic that took place
in Penang. The saga is admired and well-liked by all my disciples.
