During my spiritual travelling in Samadhi, I saw a husband and wife couple who had piously prayed to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to grant them a son. After many years of petitioning, they finally received the response they had been hoping for and a son was born to them. Their son was growing up normally, but he had a physical deficiency. He had been born mute.

The couple had heard people say that if you enshrine and worship a porcelain statue of Guru, you would receive a lot of responses. So they enshrined and worshiped a porcelain statue of Padmakumara. It was because of this affinity that I saw in my samadhi meditation this pious couple who believe in the Buddha. I also saw their mute son, as well.

They were praying to the porcelain statue of Padmakumara. They were greatly distressed and tears poured down their faces. When I saw this, I couldn’t bear it.

I examined their son’s tongue; it was fine.

I examined their son’s vocal chords; they were fine.

I examined their son’s throat; it was fine.

I drew a charm for “opening the voice.” I entered the son’s dream and gave him the charm to drink with water. But, surprisingly, it didn’t work.

I didn’t know why it didn’t work. I thought about it for a while, then I went to see the “Jia-Ling-Ping-Jia” deity birds, who can produce the most wonderful sound. But even though they would have liked to help, they could do nothing.

This is a great response from chanting the “High King Sutra”!
