A MOTHER WILL SURELY HEAR WHEN HER CHILD CRIES
Master Jun Hong Lu: Third question: I asked Guan Yin Bodhisattva, “Many people, who were not spiritual cultivators in their past life, have this question about praying to You. They often ask, ‘When we pray to Guan Yin Bodhisattva, would She know?’ Many of those who are accomplished in their spiritual cultivation, are able to have Guan Yin Bodhisattva manifest Her powers as and when they put forth a prayer, and it becomes truly efficacious. This is similar to how many people only need to call upon me and my dharma body will visit them in their dreams. But what about those people who have hefty negative karma, people plagued by various illnesses, or those still committing misdeeds who have just come to their senses and are looking for instant rehabilitation? When they call upon Guan Yin Bodhisattva, would You hear their implorations?”
Do you know what Guan Yin Bodhisattva said? This is a direct quote from my conversation with Guan Yin Bodhisattva, and I shall now reiterate word for word to all of you. Guan Yin Bodhisattva said, “A mother will surely hear when her child cries”.
Immediately, I teared up and felt sorry. This is a mother’s love for her child. Imagine the extent of suffering that we have to endure in the human realm? Tell me is there a family who is spared from suffering? One minute, your child falls ill and next, your parents are unwell; one minute you lose your job and the next minute something happens to your family. You take on a task and the next thing you know, someone snatches it away right under your nose and sabotages you. Knowing that anything can happen in life, who else can we pray to, if not Guan Yin Bodhisattva?
