Yellow Jade Guan Gong

Yutang Lin

A disciple requested me to compose a simple ritual,
Guan Gong showed his image to grant his approval.
Soon after Chinese and English versions are written,
Yellow jade Guan Gong necklace arrived to bless me.

comments:

Not long ago disciple Wei Jian requested me to compose a simple ritual for paying homage to protector Guan Gong. The next morning while asleep I saw a statue of Guan Gong sitting in leisure. That was an auspicious sign of granting his approval for a simple ritual. So I wrote one. Soon afterwards disciple Jui Khin translated it into English and I reviewed and revised it. Today, only three days thereafter, disciple Julie offered me a necklace with a yellow jade Guan Gong pendant. She was completely unaware of the above matters related to the Guan Gong rituals. About a month ago she mentioned to a friend of hers that she would like to offer a Guan Gong necklace to her Guru, and her friend just found this one in Shang Hai, China and brought it back to her only a few days ago. Such a wondrous blessing and inspirational occurrence illustrated that protectors are guarding practitioners in inconspicuous ways. As requested by Julie I recorded this truthfully to mark forever the gracious merits of the Bodhisattva Qie Lan.
