Spiritual Experiences:
I would like to share my personal experience about High King Sutra. Upon reaching 500 recitation, on the 450 to 500 recitation for the last five days or so, I found many birds hanging around the trees surrounding my house. I don't think they are just a flock of birds singing just to be happen there because I have this for 5 days. And everytime I chant for about the third time of the High King Sutra, I will hear the birds singing, and most importantly, they sing correspond to my chanting and to my heart. The small birds sound 'cool', there are birds that sound quite 'majestic' as of peacock, the raven signifies something will happen, and it feels very different mostly than other birds. There are many others, I won't be able to describe all of them. To tell you the truth, before the September 11 accident, I was in US, and in the very early morning before the accident takes place, I heard a flock of raven hanging around outside. I only know its meaning right afterward. I read on tbsn and on English Board that they are actually the transformations of Dharma Protectors and Dakinis. It's a very wonderfull feeling. You can really feel that Dharma Protectors and Dakinis are really exist all around you.
I feel that as long as one keep on chanting the High King Sutra for sure one will receive the response soon. I read on PLS Journal that Master Samantha often assign homework for the people who consult with her to chant High King Sutra for at least 1000 times, and they really receive the spiritual response.
