The practice of "Non-Self" is very difficult to grasp and its effect cannot be seen right away, therefore most people give only their verbal approval without being able to practice it thoroughly. Nonetheless, in order to transcend the supreme suffering of samsaric life and death, and to provide service to all beings on the path to Enlightenment, one needs to proceed through this Dharma course. Although practicing tolerance and practicing "Non-Self" are referred to above as different approaches with the same result, upon closer examination one sees that they are indeed two sides of the same coin, and that they complement each other without a clear boundary. Practicing "Non-Self" not only enables one to become liberated from the self-imposed limitations of selfishness and to enjoy a broadminded and peaceful life, but also enables one to learn various skillful means to thoroughly help save others. This practice would yield results only after a long period of selfless dedication to Dharma service, but its effects could benefit a wide spectrum of sentient beings in the ten direction and three times (past, present and future). As there is no way out of the samsaric suffering for all eternity without properly adopting this practice, if we are to make a wise choice, then there is only one way which is to put "Non-Self" to practice.
Once I dreamed of a female ghost, and I wrote "Namo Amitabha Buddha" in Chinese to her in the dream, then she disappeared. I recognized this dream as an omen that ghosts could be helped with prints of my handwritten "Namo Amitabha Buddha;" so I put into practice the printing and distribution of such prints, which are to be burnt in order to save the tormented ghost beings. Since I first distributed those prints, Dharma friends from all over the world are reporting back to me incidents after incidents of miraculous experiences. Upon reflection, I do not think I have any special powers, but I have sincerely practiced and propagated the Dharma for many years; therefore, I have been granted blessings from my Guru Yogi Chen, Buddhas, as well as Dharma Protectors so that there can be such effects in Bodhi activities. Here I record this fact as an encouragement to those who aspire to devoting their lives to the practice of the Dharma. Such a major undertaking for the long term benefits would certainly not be in vain. The Buddhas will definitely bless and guide sincere practitioners. Those of us who cling to this aspiration should not procrastinate, so as not to worthlessly delay the time of one's final Enlightenment.
