On August 20, 10 a.m. I lay back on my bed to meditate Holy Ziguang Shang Shi. After guidance from Mark, I felt comfortable enough to let myself be open to the experience. Closing my eyes and clearing my mind I began to listen to the words on my MP3 player.

Comfortable with pronunciation I started to repeat the words to myself imagining an image of Buddah in my mind with a glowing purple and gold light emanating from the image. The light pulsated and I felt a need to adjust my hand position to cup each other, thumb pointed to the other. Returning to the image held in my mind previously I found the words Holy Ziguang Shang Shi flowing off my tongue like water pouring over a water fall.

Minutes into this I felt relaxed but a huge flow of positive energy coursed through me. Suddenly I see myself setting in a Lotus position in orange monk robes in the center of a room. Around me are thousands of others meditating as I was dressed in orange monk robes. Calm and peace flowed through the room. I opened my eyes in this vision to see the people around me and could not find the end of the room. Beautiful sandstone colored walls and buttresses expanded from the center of the room I was sitting in the middle of. Slightly startled I stood only to be guided by the monk in front of me to relax and return to my meditations. Curious I sat still watching as the monks began to glow and seemingly to float like balloons inches off the floor. Bright white lights surrounded them. The experience was so real I feel I was actually physically setting there.

After ending my meditation and reflecting on what I had seen I was excited and wanting to go back.

I write this to share my experience and to say thank you to those who work so hard to share this knowledge and making it possible for me to have access to it. This has encouraged me to continue meditating Holy Ziguang Shang Shi and hope someday to thank you personally. I hope to share what I have learned with others for it is a wonderful gift. Much gratitude and appreciation I send to you.

Be Well.
