Reference of Soul(1)
Meeting with Shangpa Kagyu is one of most important things in my life. That year, I have been 32 years old, grasping the Buddhism theories in obvious tradition, able to announce dharma essence, having experience in meditation. But I never took refugee to anyone. I always think I have a kind of accumulated wisdom-certainly you also can call it as “self pride”-I predicted many big things in my life, in terms of religions or literature. I likely clearly saw the trace of my future life, even big events. This is not intend to make incredible things, now there is an example: when I was in 20s, I was teaching in a village, because of busy teaching, I did not have much time on writing, so asked help from former head of Art Centre in Wuwei City. I said, I must be famous in 30s, please give me a hand. I sent out the letter and did not receive any reply. However, 10 years later, under the full support from the famous critics, such as Mr. Lei Da, my long novel ultimately has impact functions, continuously getting over 10 awards like Fengmu Literature Award, and then I became popular author. One day, that head sorted old stuffs, and found that letter. After reading it, he was very surprised, said, “that guy knew he will succeed like today ten years ago.” In my 20s, I also talked my future with old writer Li Tianfu who was the chief editor of Wuwei Newspaper. I said when I will be famous in Gansu, and when I will be famous in China, all came into truth later, even some details are exact. For an instance, when I was 20s, I told others my Da Mo Ji will be famous in Shanghai. In my life, there are lots of these kinds of cases. I likely clearly see many things that will happen in future. There is no logical thinking only direct wisdom.
The reason I said these is not for dazzling, but explains one point: meeting with Jianggong Guru is expected by me before. Because I definitely knew, in my fate, there will be a religious guru. Thus, I did not take refuge to others, even they are famous or have big powers, and I had not taken refuge. I was always waiting the guru in my fate.
