When I heard of my name as one of the students for Level 6 Class, I was happy and nervous at the same time. I was happy because I am blessed to have the opportunity to learn more and to take a further step in my spiritual cultivation path. I was nervous because I was fearful that I might be faced with similar challenges as when I attended Level 4 and Level 5 Classes.
During my preparation for the Level 4 Class in April 2007, I was in Hong Kong for a family wedding. During this time, I cannot swallow and my mouth was very stiffed. This meant that I cannot eat or drink normally for many days. Only with very great difficulty can I swallow a few bites of foods or a few sips of liquid each day. It was such a horrible and helpless feeling for me. If my families and friends did not travel with me to HK, I would have left immediately to return to Seattle. Of course, after the wedding and as soon as my flight arrived in Seattle, I headed straight to the Seattle Center from the airport instead of going home.
In May 2009, I took the Level 5 Class and I managed with the class preparation fine, until the midnight of Thursday the night before the Class. I remembered clearly that I was getting ready to sleep and I was sitting on my bed. All of a sudden, my throat became so itchy that I cannot stop coughing. This is very strange since I have not had a cold or coughing since I took Level 3 Class in 2004 (except for one trip to Montreal in 2007 during the winter month and it was 20 degrees below zero). I felt really sick and I was coughing during the entire Class. Fortunately, with blessing from Founder Master Dasira Narada, I did not cough one single time during the entire meditation time on Friday, Saturday, and the chakra opening session on Sunday which lasted 4 hours 45 minutes.
Although I have had challenges, I am determined to follow through with the Classes no matter how difficult it is. I am so happy and I felt so blessed when I successfully completed the Level 6 Class in May 2011. I thank you Founder Master Dasira Narada for developing and for blessing the world in general with the UHBE discipline and for allowing me specifically the opportunity to be blessed with the UHBE discipline. I thank you Thay Thuan and Co Hai for their love and guidance in our spiritual cultivation in order to enhance our evolutionary journey. I thank you all members of the Seattle Center for all their love and support in making our Level 6 Class as successful and memorable as it can be.
I have been to the Seattle Center since 2004. The past seven years have significantly changed my life, not only physically and mentally but also spiritually. After I attended the Level 6 Class, I have the opportunity to learn more about where we come from, why we are here, and where do we go from here. Ever since I was about 13 years old, these questions have been on my mind more and more. Since then, there have been so many nights that I cannot sleep whenever I think of these questions. I do not fear how I die or when I die. I am most concerned where I would go or what would happen to me after I die. As a result, I have visited many churches and temples over the years but none has been helpful to me. I have even consulted with psychologists about this since I did not know at the time if this was normal for me to think this way. Now I understand why.
Fortunately I had the fate to learn about the UHBE discipline in 2004, and I have been to the Center almost daily ever since (except for out-of-town trips). This Center provides all the support and guidance that I can ever think of and blessed with – physically, mentally and spiritually. Because UHBE has helped me tremendously, I hope that more people in the world would know about UHBE. Starting in 2007, I have decided to go to other Centers around the world (“hanh phap”). Since then, I have visited a number of Centers in the world but I wish to be able to visit as many Centers as I can. I did not know at the time, but later on I realized that Founder Master Dasira Narada has already arranged my love for me when I made my first trip in February 2007 to HK.
After attending the Level 5 Class, I have decided either to stop working or to work part-time after a few years so I can devote more time in helping others. After I took the Level 6 Class, my decision is re-affirmed. As Thay Thuan and Co Hai have taught us in class, we are running out of time and we must do all that we can in properly following the Dharmas of Founder Master Dasira Narada in our very limited time so we can acquire sufficient merit to be chosen to go back home.
