I was mute and speechless.
The two of them asked me, “Grand Master Lu, why didn’t you perform a miracle? We have been continuously chanting your heart mantra without any break or rest.”
I was mute and speechless.
The two of them asked me, “Grand Master Lu, has Heaven turned a blind eye to us? Is Heaven testing us? Our family and friends and neighbors are taunting us for believing in you. Our hearts are cold, and we are fast falling apart. Should we continue with the practice?”
I was mute and speechless.
The two of them shouted loudly, “Who can return Jiajia to us?”
***
This devout couple quietly left True Buddha School for more than two years.
Then one day they reappeared.
They were holding a little child in their arms and they performed prostration reverently to their root guru Grand Master Lu.
They said, “Grand Master, please accept our repentance. We have returned.”
I asked, “Why?”
They explained, “Jiajia has indeed come back to us. We have given birth to another child. He looks exactly like Jiajia. Not only that, he has the same birthmark on his buttock, just like Jiajia’s. Also, the small finger on his right hand is slightly crooked, just like Jiajia’s. When he started babbling, the first word he uttered was actually ‘hot,’ ‘hot,’ ‘hot.’”
They continued, “The strangest thing was, just before Jiajia was to be born, we both dreamt of Grand Master Lu appearing in the empty space, holding Jiajia and telling us, I will give you back Jiajia!”
After listening to them, I nodded and said, “Continue to put your heart in practice!”
