Coincidentally, three days later, her neighbour's homes did catch fire. A whole row of houses burned down, one after another. After that, her family stopped calling her crazy and her neighbours stopped calling her superstitious. They all now believed that the True Buddha Sutra was indeed miraculous and powerful.

Later, at another time, Guru entered her dream again and told her: "There will be another fire disaster. But this time, you don't have to move away. The fire will stop at the house next to yours."

She warned her neighbours, "Your homes will catch fire. Please be ready for it."

Her neighbours believed her this time.

The houses indeed did catch fire again, caused by an electrical short-circuit. The fire burned several houses, but when it reached the house next to hers, it was put out. She did not lose anything. And because her neighbours trusted her predictive ability, they were able to make preventive preparations early and their losses were minor.

Now, everyone recites the True Buddha Sutra with her. Through her guidance, many of them took refuge in the True Buddha School. She told people, "I don’t have any ability to predict things. I just chant the True Buddha Sutra every night. Because of this, I have Guru in my dreams to protect me. Without Guru coming into my dreams and telling me what to do, it would be very hard to avoid the disasters."

Since then, she was given the nickname, "The Phoenix Who Bathed in Fire."
