Chapter 5 - A Happy Lottery Winner
On page 124 of my book, The Great Spanning Rainbow of Magical Charms, is a charm, the "jackpot winning charm." When the book came out, many students requested it so they could wear the charm. In Taiwan, people buy a "Patriot Prize." Overseas, many students buy lottery or horse racing tickets. It was not my purpose in printing this charm in The Great Spanning Rainbow of Magical Charrns to make people greedy or get them involved in gambling. However, among my students, there are some who are confronted with extreme monetary difficulties, and who are at the end of their rope. If they sincerely pray, they might receive Master's empowerment, and luck might come to them. Have any of the students won a lottery jackpot or a first prize ticket? Yes, there have been winners. Obviously I cannot reveal the names and addresses of the grand prize winners for fear of extortion, robbery or fraudulent charitable organizations, which might generate all sorts of problems. Therefore, grand prize winners will not be named. Students who have won such prizes secretly inform me in writing about their good fortune. They are extremely happy. In this chapter, I will reveal a medium prize winner from Taipei. This student is Mr. Chih-ch'i Tai. His refuge name is Lian-chan. His address is: #58-3, Alley 11, Ln 188, Sec 1, Wenhua Rd. Pan Ch'iao, Taipei. He won a fourth prize in the Patriot Prize. His letter to me follows:
In this chapter, I especially wish to emphasize a few points: I hope every one of my students is free from poverty. I do not wish them to face financial predicaments. Some 27 times, the impact of unsuccessful careers may affect the confidence of the practitioners. Therefore, poor students should enshrine on their altar the statue of Padmakumara, the Vajra of Great Blessing, or the Four Celestial Kings, or the Yellow, Red, White, or Black Wealth Deity. The practice of the Wealth Deity Yoga is, of course, for increased benefits. But, the money that is acquired should be used with good will and not for any wicked purpose-otherwise, there will be severe retributions. Money, itself, is neutral; it is man who creates good or bad karma with it. Students who manage to rid themselves of poverty should practice all the more. They should live frugally and not extravagantly. Besides practicing the Wealth Deity Yoga, they must practice the Personal Deity Yoga daily, knowing that the most meaningful thing in life is to practice for liberation. It is not to make money and become millionaires. Among the students, there are, unfortunately, many who are greedy. They wish to get something for nothing. They do not work hard, yet they hope money will be easy to come by. These students wear the jackpot winning charm and actively practice the Wealth Deity Yoga. However, they are neither sincere nor honestly desperate. They only have the rich man's dream. Such students are not practical; they always want to be lucky. The deities will not grant their luck. Although the charm is efficacious, without the blessing from the deities, it will not send forth its magical power. At present, many students send numbers to me for my blessings. However, there is only one grand prize winner and there are more than three hundred requests sent to me every month. Therefore, I can only let Heaven decide who's going to win. Many students are excessive in their requests. They want to win every time when they play mahjong or dice and, when they go to Las Vegas or Reno to gamble, they want to win big. Despite the great fortune with which Master can endow students, careful considerations have to be made too. In Indonesia, there is a student who used to be very poor and lived in a rented house. Working daily in a rubber plantation, he earned very small wages. But, he never stopped reciting the Guru's Heart Mantra. He had a photograph of the Master enlarged and framed. To the photo he added a white lotus seat and an aura around the head, making it more magnificent. Every night, before he went to sleep, he would take the photo from a bag and do his practice; when he was done, he put it away in the bag again. One day, he dreamed of the Master giving him a shining lottery ticket. He had never bought a ticket before but, inspired by the dream, he bought one. It turned out to be a first prize winner. Winning this first prize turned him into a rich man. Today, he has not forgotten the source of his fortune. In the middle of his Tantric altar there is a statue of the Padmakumara; on the right is the statue of Buddha Shakyamuni and on the left is the Four Armed Kuan Yin Bodhisattva. He places wreaths of white flowers around all the pictures of deities. Now, he has also set up the Eight Offerings, which makes the altar look more dignibed. The spiritual energy around it is strong. This Indonesian student is Lian-lu of Surabaya. Lian-lu's dream about the Master unexpectedly changed him from a poor worker into a rich man. This is a true incident. Lian-lu is blessed because he chants the Guru Heart Mantra and pays homage, with utmost respect, to the picture of Master. Padmakumara has bestowed protection as well as a great fortune on him. This was another miracle of the Holy Crown Vajra Master. There are others. In Malaysia, there was another student who won a first prize ticket.
