Chapter 9 - Lawyer Henry's Daughter

The first lawyer with whom I became acquainted in the United States was Lawyer Henry. His full name is Henry Liebman. He is an earnest lawyer. When I was in the process of obtaining my U.S. immigration visa, he went to Taiwan from the States, especially to help me at the American Institute in Taiwan.

In 1982, on June with, my whole family arrived at the Seattle Airport. Lawyer Henry was there to help us through immigration.

Lawyer Henry is of Jewish ancestry. His grandfather had traveled all over the world and had been to China. His father, who was also a lawyer, immigrated to the States and settled down in Miami. When Henry was young, he studied hard and resolved to become a great lawyer. Eventually he succeeded in becoming a lawyer. In addition, he is also an accountant. Therefore he has two careers.

I discovered that there are three kinds of indispensable people in the United States: lawyers, accountants and doctors.

These people are needed everywhere, especially the lawyers. In America, lawsuits can happen anytime, anywhere; people are used to going to court even for trivial matters. Therefore, lawyers are definitely needed. Take for example the construction of Ling Shen Ching Tze Lei Tsang Temple in Redmond. Lawyer Henry acted on our behalf in court to debate the city government and local residents. We went through many court debates, trying to win through legal means the right to establish a Chinese temple. It took three years before approval for the construction was granted. The bitterness we encountered was impossible for someone, who was not involved in it, to understand. Lawyer Henry, however, was able to utilize his strength at the proper moment in the court hearings.

Lawyer Henry helped us and we also helped him. We helped him with his daughter. About six months after she was born, doctors discovered some abnormalities. She frequently and suddenly lost consciousness. This happened without any provocation. Her whole body would become flaccid, sometimes her mouth drooled and her eyes rolled up, which was very frightening.

Henry and his wife had taken her for examinations to all the large hospitals in Seattle. The answers were discouraging:

1. Incurable-the brain was oxygen-deficient.

2. Not going to survive.

3. Even if she survived, she would be mentally retarded.

These were the results of the diagnoses by doctors in the large hospitals.

During this period of time, Lawyer Henry looked wan and worried. He simply could not concentrate on his work and the smile on his face disappeared.

I asked him, "Do you believe in Chinese deities? Do you believe in Chinese charms? Certain Chinese mystical power can save life from death. I believe I can help you, especially since you are our lawyer."

Our American friend, Lawyer Henry, wearing a long face, accepted my offer since he had no other alternative.

At that time, some people had advised me not to write charms to Americans because they simply do not understand the Chinese charms, which involve the drawing of some character-like symbols in ink with a brush pen. These are drawn on a yellow piece of paper, which is then taken to cure sickness. Americans will not believe it will cure sickness. To help people, I was advised to not use charms but to use, instead, the Great Compassion Dharani Holy Water (water empowered by mantra). In this way, Americans would not criticize it.

But, when Lawyer Henry was at my place, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas wanted me to draw three charms which were the divine endowment charms. The Bodhisattvas held my hand to draw them and I asked that the Divine Light be empowered on the charms. As a result, three beams of white light radiated from the heavens and shone on the charms for a long time.

After that, I instructed Lawyer Henry to burn one charm every night in a bowl, pour boiled water over the ashes, and filter the water with a coffee filter. Then he must let his daughter drink the water before she went to sleep. I told him to do that each night for three nights and that, in a week, we would see how she had improved. (During this week, I empowered his daughter every night in my practices.)

After a week, the "non-viable" and "mentally retarded" daughter's episodes of fainting decreased. Her eyes did not roll up any more and her mouth no longer drooled. One month later, there was no more loss of consciousness. Lawyer Henry's daughter had become absolutely normal.

The couple again took their daughter to the doctors for complete examinations. The results were that she was cured "miraculously." The brain was no longer oxygen deficient. The doctors in the big hospitals said "it was impossible." The fact is, the impossible had already become the possible. The doctors were baffled.

On March 5th, 1985, at 7:00 p.m., Lawyer Henry and Mr. John W. Austin, Vice Cabinet Minister of the Economic Department of the State of Washington, dined with us at the Yu Yuan Restaurant. Lawyer Henry told the Minister the story of his daughter, and the Minister kept saying that it was a miracle.

This is a true story about using three charms to heal Lawyer Henry's daughter, whose brain was oxygen deficient. Since I arrived in the States, I have also cured many Westerners with mantras and charms. Some of them had insomnia, which was cured in one week. One American woman had a relaxed colon illness; she could not hold her bowel whenever she ate. She had been to many doctors but their treatments were ineffective. She was cured with paper charms within two months and her health returned to normal. She also came to take refuge in the Holy Red Crown Vajra Master.

There was also an administrative officer at the White House in Washington, D.C. who had early stage lung cancer. He was so worried that, in a very short time, his hair turned gray. He came to see me on someone's recommendation. I chanted the Great Compassion Dharani one hundred eight times every day for seven days to bless the water, and then gave it to him in a container. Three months later, he overcame the grave illness and wrote to thank me.

Many Westerners came to take refuge in the Holy Red Crown Vajra Master because their chronic ailments had been cured by the Master. Every Saturday night they attend the Dharma talks given by Master in his house, and they practice meditation together. The occasions are full of Dharma joys, with new concepts and changes of attitude. Everyone bows to the Master after receiving the teachings.

Some of these people have great understanding of the Buddhist teachings. They have gradually eliminated the view of Western supremacy and the idea of the Christian God being the only God. I especially would like to choose from among my Western disciples those who have the quality of a master, teach them the unexcelled fine Dharmas so that they can preach with the power of unhindered discourse. Among the Western disciples, there will, in the future, be a few great masters who will know the boundlessness of Buddha Dharma, the limitlessness of Buddha power, and have deep understanding of the Dharma.

The main task of the emergence of Western masters is to help the Westerners.
