Shu-Hui Chiang received a phone call from <a href=\"https:\/\/wikitia.com\/wiki\/H.H._Dorje_Chang_Buddha_III\">H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata<\/a>, who at that time was a thousand miles away from San Francisco, asking whether Hua Zang Si was blessed by a Buddha light. This was first time Shu-Hui Chiang received a direct call from H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. She was somewhat nervous but still reported to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III honestly, \u201cThere isn\u2019t any Buddha light. It is cloudy and drizzling in San Francisco.\u201d According to the weather forecast, it will start raining soon. After Shu-Hui Chiang\u2019s report, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III told her clearly, \u201cNotify everyone in Hua Zang Si. There will soon be a Buddha light to bless Hua Zang Si for the grand opening.\u201d So she did. We all waited outside for the Buddha light. Not long, the clouds suddenly spread out.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The sky became clear. Right on top of Hua Zang Si, there was a big circle of multi-color Buddha light shining around the moon. It seemed like a curtain and shined down upon Hua Zang Si to bless it. There was a news report giving the details of the Buddha light that night.<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 All that is described above is nothing but the truth. If there is anything fake about this, I am willing to bear all punishment. If it is true, I dedicate all the merits to all living beings, who I wish would have the opportunity to listen to the dharma discourses of H.H.
