- In 1998, I went to Taiwan with a group of Tao devotees
to attend seminar
- Upon reaching Taipei, we had to rest for the night and
took an early train the next day
- To Senior Master Lim’s temple, that was about five hours
train ride
- Upon reaching the train station, many Taiwanese Tao
devotees were waiting
- At the station to pick us up to Senior Master Lim’s
temple
- Usually the Malaysian master Tan and his wife would lead
the delegation from Malaysia
- On this day, while getting down from the train
- Master Tan’s wife, sister Chan, slipped and fell from
the train
- She could not walk and had to be carried to the van that
was waiting for us
- Considered a new devotee at that time, I just wondered
why such thing could happen
- She was taken to several doctors the next few days but
there was no improvement
- She came back to Malaysia with a swollen leg
- For the next three months, upon my visit to Master Tan’s
temple in Kuala Lumpur
- I could see sister Chan with the swollen leg
- She had consulted many doctors including X-Ray, but to
no avail
- Her leg appeared like a piece of dead wood and swelled
up like an elephantiasis leg
- I just could not understand why it must happened to her;
a sincere and devoted devotee
- And why could it not be cured, when usually a sprain or
fracture could be cured
- Then one day a call came from Taiwan from the temple
keeper of eighty years old
- Who could see the unseen, requesting sister Chan to
urgently go to Taiwan
- Because a vision was given to him by the spiritual
creditors, the unseen revengeful souls
- Within one day the visa was done while it normally took
three days
- In the temple of Tao of Heaven in Taiwan
- The leader of three revengeful souls manifested through
a young lady and said
- If sister Chan was to ignore their call, they would take
her life
- Then the leader explained why they had to go after her
life
- Heaven stopped the revenge, and they wanted her leg
- But then again Heaven stopped it because she was very
devoted in assisting
- Maitreya Buddha in propagating Tao and had done a lot of
good deeds
- Her previous life with the three revengeful souls was
told as follows
- "Many lives ago, sister Chan was a nun
- In the course of her practice, she met a family of three
- She had wrongly taken all their money
- The whole family could not bear the pain of losing their
entrusted money
- With that, all of them committed suicide at the same
time
- In this life, they had found her and wanted revenge"
- In order to repay, sister Chan had to do 12 charitable
works for the unfortunate children
- Recite 3 times a day for 3 months the ‘Sutra of Maitreya
Buddha on Rescue of Suffering'
- And hit her swollen leg with her own hand for three
months for the three revengeful souls
- Then for the next three months she did that and
surprisingly,
- Unfortunate children just appeared for her to help
- Within this period her swollen leg slowly went back to
normal size
- An experience to ponder and it will only be believed by
people who have seen it
- This is not a story or fairy tale but a true encounter.
