\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What I am about to say is about the Yun sculpture \u201cA Pillar Holding Up Heaven\u201d created by H.H. Master Wan Ko Yee, my Buddha Dharma King Master. One year and nine months ago, this holy work of art was completed and its shape finalized. A year and nine months had passed, and several of us decided to place the artwork \u201cA Pillar Holding Up Heaven\u201d into a display cabinet. First, the bottom edge of the artwork had to be closely traced on a baseboard. This was done to make sure that the sculpture would be centered. I personally traced a black line very carefully around the artwork. At that point, we all figured out that the size of the display cabinet which had previously been calculated and built was too small and the upper portion of the artwork would go beyond the baseboard. Because the body of the artwork was too large, it was impossible to fit in the display cabinet. H.H. Master Wan Ko Yee strictly criticized us, \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you measure it right in the beginning? Will this display cabinet, worth thousands of dollars, now be discarded?\u201d The Master faced \u201cA Pillar Holding Up Heaven\u201d and casually said to himself, \u201cIt would be nice if you could become smaller!\u201d After the Master finished saying that, six of us lifted \u201cA Pillar Holding Up Heaven\u201d and placed it down on the floor. Because it was such a precious piece and worth so much, we all guarded the spot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Approximately five hours passed. We then lifted it to the baseboard preparing to take a picture. Just as \u201cA Pillar Holding Up Heaven\u201d was moved up to the baseboard where I had previously traced the black line, a fellow disciple suddenly yelled, \u201cHey, it has become the magic stick of Sun Wu Kong (the Monkey King)!\u201d Everyone looked. To our surprise, \u201cA Pillar Holding Up Heaven\u201d had actually shrunk. With only H.H. Buddha Dharma King\u2019s words \u201cLet it be smaller…\u201d, it actually shrunk and now fit perfectly into the display cabinet. At this moment, I traced a red line around the bottom edge of the artwork once again on the same baseboard that showed the previously traced black line. When comparing the two lines, the widest part of the artwork had actually shrunk and the line was now more than two inches smaller than the previous line. The entire upper portion of the artwork shrank and fit perfectly into the area of the display cabinet. This inanimate piece of artwork which had already finalized its shape was truly magnificent and unbelievably amazing.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I am a Buddhist disciple. I would not fabricate false testimony which would violate the law of cause and effect. These two lines were traced by me that day based on the bottom edge of the actual artwork that day. Moreover, the artwork indeed shrank because of the Master\u2019s words. If any of the above is falsely fabricated, I shall be punished, enter the three evil paths and become an animal. If this account of said facts is authentic, I will greatly gain good fortune and wisdom and dedicate the merit to the well-being of everyone.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Now, I have some honest words that come from my heart that I would like to give everyone. Everyone should think about just what level this great and authentic Buddha-dharma actually is on so that such power can be demonstrated. Shouldn\u2019t we take this opportunity to take refuge and learn the authentic Buddha-dharma?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
