Stroke
I Threw Away My Walking Stick
By Chi-fai Shek
I had a stroke six years ago and relied on a walking stick since then. I always hope that I could walk freely as a normal and healthy person one day. Hospitals could not help me. Nonetheless, I still wish there would be miracle.
I read an article about the Health Dharma Preaching Convention of Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi on a Chinese newspaper. There were some stories of exorcising demons and removing illnesses. The coming dharma convention would be on November 9, 2002. I had attended many seminars in the past, but I had never met Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi before, who could remove illnesses. I decided to experience it with a glimpse of hope.
In the convention, Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi looked at me mercifully. He moved his dharma pestle in front of me for once and said: ：Your wish is granted. You can throw away your walking stick tomorrow.； I was happy but still had doubt. Could I really throw away my walking stick with just one move of dharma pestle by the Holy Master? Could this be possible? Did I meet a Saint? I went home with tons of question. I could hardly fall into sleep before, but I fell asleep immediately that night.
I woke up energetically on the next morning and felt my feet were vigorous when I put my legs down from my bed. I then tried to reach for my walking stick, but found that it was gone. My spouse put away when she cleaned my room. I tried to raise my leg and it did move accordingly. Could I really walk by myself? I tried walking step by step in the room.
My wife rushed to get my walking stick for me but I said: ：It doesn・t matter. I don・t need it now.； I was very happy and told her that I have really met a Saint. I didn・t need the walking stick anymore.
I went to the dharma health class without the walking stick that night. All my classmates applauded for me when they saw I could walk by myself. This is truly a miracle! Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi is a saint, a living Buddha. He is my savior. All of my classmates knelt and requested sincerely to become Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi's Converted Students.
Thank you very much, Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi!
