One night I had a very strange dream. Not an ordinary dream at all. In this dream I was in a white room, one that I do not remember seeing before. There was a man and woman there. The man was wearing a white outfit with a white turban; the woman was off in the distance.
The man was staring at me with an absolute hatred in his eyes, one which I never had observed with anyone I had ever seen. He kept saying to me over and over "evil, evil..." while jabbing a long sword at me. I remember being pierced by the sword. I know I chanted something but do not remember what. Then a sword like Achala's appeared in my hand and I jabbed him with it. This is something I would never do, so it came as a surprise when I awoke and attempted to analyze the dream. He fell backward and where the sword pierced him there was no wound. With great surprise and shock he pointed to me and said "Buddha, Buddha." repeatedly and I awoke.
A few days later I went to temple and told our Master about the dream. She immediately said I needed "a clearing". Without questioning aloud, I followed her up to the shrine. After I asked her what was that all about, she replied "That was your last lifetime; your karma is now cleared from it".
I felt slightly sick the whole day but with a strong sense that something incredible had changed within me.
Slowly I started to remember my last lifetime in India. First as a schoolgirl practicing Hinduism, then later came memories of adulthood. More memories are still surfacing. I have let go of them and that lifetime. Now my practice is of the utmost importance.
Again, thank you Grand Master Lu for being here to teach us all in this lifetime.
