【Reported by Master Lianhua Huijun, Translated by Lynn Ang, Edited by Henry Wolf and DJ Chang 】
Led by Lotus Shijie from Malaysia, 14 disciples from Thailand's Deju Cultivation Association jointly attended pilgrimage on April 11, 2016. Through a translation provided by Lotus Shijie, Grandmaster and Shimu learned of the following extremely extraordinary and miraculous spiritual response.

Ever since Grandmaster was in Thailand to propagate the True Buddha School (TBS) dharma teachings, Shimu Lianxiang has been enthusiastically supporting the translation into Thai of Grandmaster's books. A local dharma sister named Zhang Yufang established a Daden Publishing branch in Thailand and has been distributing Grandmaster's books to each and every bookstore.

Subsequently, as the saying goes, ''Those who have affinity with buddhas will be saved.'' Miracles have actually occurred!
Mr. Patsin Hirunboonyawat (Aun) who was not a TBS disciple had visited a bookstore several times. While in the bookstore, he had not paid much attention to or showed any interest in the Thai translations of Grandmaster's books even though he often walked by them. Then one day he heard H.H. Living Buddha Lian-sheng Sheng-yen Lu's books actually calling out ''Buy me! Take me home to read!''
Feeling extremely mystified and curious, he did just that. After reading the first book, he came to realize Grandmaster's extraordinary spiritual attainment and he later firmly resolved to take refuge in H.H. Living Buddha Lian-sheng.

In another similar case, for two days in a row, Ms. Patrapornpipat Amonpichit (Pat), who originally worked as a fortune teller also heard Grandmaster's books from the bookstore next door calling out to her saying ''Read these books!'' Subsequently, on the third day, Pat heard the same message. She responded by saying ''In the past, I have tried to learn the buddhadharma and cultivation. However, I have always felt that this is too difficult a path to follow.'' Nevertheless, Grandmaster's books replied ''Try reading these books with an open mind!''

So on that day, Pat purchased the Thai translation of the book Encounters with the World of Spirits. After reading this book, she was extremely touched by it's truly incredible and profound meaning. Thus, together with her two sisters, she took refuge in H.H. Living Buddha Lian-sheng.

On February 23, 2013, H.H. Living Buddha Lian-sheng Sheng-yen Lu held a debut transmission of the Red Manohara Vasudhara practice. Red Manohara Vasudhara is the wealth deity who gives the swiftest response in bestowing riches.

At the Red Manohara Vasudhara ceremony, Grandmaster discoursed that, using her vajra hook, Red Manohara Vasudhara brought in all the gold in the Western Pure Land. Thus, the Western Pure Land is paved in gold. From the Huayan Pure Land she brought trees and the Seven Treasures into the Western Pure Land. She brought ambrosia into the Western Pure Land from other pure lands which she transformed into water with eight merits. She brought in Indra's Luminous Pearl Net…. With all these ingredients she built countless palaces.

In order to save sentient beings we use the vajra hook to draw them in for the purpose of completing the mission. The vajra hook is able to attract all kinds of treasures, wealth, and riches. This is how the Western Pure Land became a realm of magnificent beauty and perfection.

A practitioner's attainment of spiritual union with Red Manohara Vasudhara is equivalent to attainment of spiritual union with Amitabha Buddha! The seed syllable of Red Manohara Vasudhara is the same seed syllable as Amitabha Buddha and from this one can see that Red Manohara Vasudhara resides in the Western Pure Land.

When one practices the dharma, one first visualizes the right hand of Red Manohara Vasudhara holding a vajra hook and her left hand, a treasure spewing mongoose. Visualize that the vajra hook is moving and that the wealth one asks for falls off the hook. Visualize Amitabha Buddha appearing along with Red Manohara Vasudhara who is also red in color.

When cultivating this practice one must visualize Red Manohara Vasudhara as a 16 year old girl. One visualizes the deity's eyelashes transformed into a hook. Visualize that Red Manohara Vasudhara's vajra hook is moving in sync with the Hook Mudra that the practitioner has formed. As a result, Red Manohara Vasudhara will bestow blessings on the practitioner. In addition, Red Manohara Vasudhara can also hook and move all five fortune earth gods of the five directions.

Red Manohara Vasudhara has this praise verse:
Boundless past deeds of virtue
Transmute into wealth, longevity, and magnificence
Buddha Mother bestows upon practitioner riches and treasure
I pay homage to the enriching Buddha Mother

TBS dharma practices are typically composed of three sections: the preliminary, the core, and the concluding practices. Together, these three practice sections constitute a complete Vajrayana sadhana. The preliminary, core, and concluding practices are all required.

A practitioner's attainment of spiritual union with this wealth deity also translates into the attainment of spiritual union with Amitabha Buddha, and hence, obtaining the Wisdom of the Tathagata. This is because Red Manohara Vasudhara is the emanation body of Amitabha Buddha. Accordingly, Red Manohara Vasudhara is Amitabha Buddha and Amitabha Buddha is also Red Manohara Vasudhara. Red Manohara Vasudhara is just as distinguished and noble as the Buddha.

One needs to visualize Red Manohara Vasudhara's vajra hook moving in sync with the movement of one's mudra, both moving simultaneously. As a result, if one asks for worldly riches Red Manohara Vasudhara will bestow them.

By cultivating the Red Manohara Vasudhara dharma practice one not only attains spiritual union just with Guanyin. At the same time one also attains spiritual union with Mahasthamaprapta who is a bodhisattva of extraordinary wisdom.

Indeed, after diligently practicing the Red Manohara Vasudhara Practice taught during its debut transmission at Grandmaster's Homa Ceremony, a disciple in Thailand's Deju Cultivation Association, Ms. Nuntaya Komarakul na nakorn (Ying), has been continuously winning the Thailand lottery (in Thailand, the official results of the lottery are released on the 1st and the 16th of each month.) On average, Ying's lottery winnings each month have been the equivalent of NT $100,000 - $200,000.

What an amazing account of true spiritual response this is! How wonderful and extraordinary! Grandmaster and Shimu expressed their delight and reverence upon hearing this true story. Grandmaster said humbly ''This demonstrates the mercy and compassion of the Buddha and Bodhisattvas in salvation.''

With true accounts of spiritual responses being revealed one after another, the True Buddha School is clearly true and authentic. There is no falsity!

By virtue of H.H. Living Buddha Lian-sheng's extraordinary, magnificent vows and powerful spiritual attainments, those with affinity will accept and believe in him. Furthermore, through this affinity one will obtain spiritual response from cultivation of TBS dharma practices. As long as one is faithful, one will eventually attain accomplishment!
