The Diamond Blessing

Glass of Water.

The following paragraph is from a story that I do not believe I have shared before on this blog from Chapter Two of Thus Have I Seen: The Marvelous True Buddha Dharma and Its Power to Transform where I tell some of the miraculous and marvelous things I saw while with the Buddha Master. Some of you who read this blog may remember what I am reporting, but may not know why I had the red flashing diamond on my forehead.

Diamond Blessing


Once, while staying in a small boutique hotel with the Buddha Master and His family in San Francisco, I received a special blessing that caused a diamond-shaped mark to form on my forehead and the top of my head. It was about 3 to 4-inches on each side. The point was in the center of my forehead toward my nose. I think it happened after I brought the Buddha Master some water. Normally, I would not be the one to do that, but on that occasion everyone else was laying low and hiding in the kitchen. Something had happened, but, as is often the case, I was clueless, because I do not understand Chinese. The Buddha Master was not happy and sitting alone and, not knowing any better, I offered him some water. He blessed me at that time and touched my head. Later in that trip I remember him looking at me in a funny way and smiling. When I finally saw this blotch on my forehead, I pointed to it and asked in sign language if this was His handiwork, and He laughed again. This mark would turn bright red and pulsate from time to time. This often happened when I read English translations of the Buddha Master’s discourses to my students, but other times as well. Many of my students saw it. I understood this was done to help rid me of karmic obstructions.
