Kuan Yin’s response can be instant or slightly delayed, it all
depends on one’s karmic influence at that moment of prayer
and the intensity of faith in the calling. Miracles of Kuan Yin
answering the fervent prayers of those who called upon her
name are countless. ey can easily fill up the entire volume of
the Britannica Encyclopedia for almost every devout devotee
will have a tale or two to tell. Here is a true account of a recent
happening, a miracle which has transformed the life of a lady
who was not even a devotee, and this is what she has written:“e Fatt Wah Aum Temple in Cheras was celebrating ‘See-fu
Tan’, and a group of us went there during our lunch break, to taste
the vegetarian food served there. It was reputed to be the tastiest in
town. On arrival, each of us, following the custom of the temple,
bought a bundle of joss-sticks for offering to the deities. Not
being a Buddhist I had no idea where the joss-sticks or incense
were to be offered, so I followed the actions of other worshippers;
I lit the incense and went round the hall placing a stick in each
incense urn that is placed in front of the deities. Having done that,
I found that I still had quite a few sticks left. I looked around and
found that others were making their way to an adjourning hall.
ere were more altars and incense urns into which I continued
to place a joss stick in each of them. After placing my last stick of
incense I realised that there was still one more altar left and it had
before it offerings of food, flowers, candles and fruits. is then
must be the altar of the ‘See-fu’ whom the temple was honouring
that day. I felt terribly sorry that I had no more incense to make
my offering to this deity, so I knelt down to apologise. I then
recognised that it was the statue of K Y.
