I didn't leave home for practicing until I was 53 years old. So I have family too. My eldest son was studying at Shude Institute of Technology. He usually went to school by bus. When his class is over, he walked out of the school. In front of the school was the main road that stretches across the province. He would catch a public bus on the roadside and go home. After the class, there are many students. Of course they are walking down the road in droves.
One day he was walking along the road, behind came a car driving very fast.
1:00
It didn't run on the main road but went on the sidewalk where people were walking. He turned around and saw the car coming fast, he chanted Amitabha immediately. The car didn't hit him but passed him by. It was close. He kept chanting Amitabha. One of his classmates walked in front of him, and the car ran into him directly. When his classmate was hitting from behind, he kept chanting Amitabha. When his classmate was hit, he was sent flying through the air, falling on the roof of the car, tumbling over the hood, and rolling down on the ground.
After the accident, the driver immediately braked.
2:00
He may have dozed off while driving, so he drove the car onto the sidewalk. The student was hit to the top and rolled down. When the driver opened the door, with awful complexion, he were shaking all over. My son went forward and held that student up, and asked: “Are you hurt?”
Being confused for a while, he slowly expressed that he didn't feel hurt.
My son said: “You were hit into the air and fell down, and you are not hurt?” I don't feel uncomfortable, he said. “Or, Shake your head and see if your head is hit badly? He shook his head and felt very well. Or, stretch your arms and see if they are broken.” He stretched his arms and they were fine. “Or, stretch your legs to see if they are broken.” He kicked his legs and felt good.
3:00
“Or, take a deep breath and hold the breath to see if your internal organs are okay. If they are hurt, you will feel painful when holding breath.” The kid knew this thing. He then took a deep breath and held the breath, and didn't feel any pain. He didn't have internal injuries either. My son said: “How is that possible? He was hit to the top and rolled down and wasn't hurt.”
At that time, the driver woke up and said: “How about I take you to the hospital for a check-up? Take a look. I was almost frightened to death.” Then he took the student to the hospital. It was diagnosed that he just had a little scratch here, only spent 30 NT$.
So, chanting this phrase of Amitabha not only save ourselves, but also save others, like that student, from serious harm. Otherwise, being struck by such a huge force, even if he didn't die, he would only have half a life left.
4:00
As a result, he received minor scratches. Therefore, at the moment of life and death, if you recite Amitabha Buddha, he can save your life.
I used to go to Xin Zhu Lotus Society once a month and preach sutra for them. I like to take train for distant places. But it's difficult to buy the train ticket to Xin Zhu, so they volunteer to give me a ride. They came at 7 am to pick me up. Once a month. It was on a selected Sunday but not every week. Once, layman Wu came to pick me up. I like to sleep in the car when someone gives me a ride.
5:00
When I got in the car, I told him that I was going to sleep and you could just drive. He said: “Of course, you can sleep if you want.” He was driving a little fast, between 100 and 110. It takes one hour and 40 minutes from Yuan Lin to Xin Zhu. He drove fast. Although he drove fast, this takes some time, so I would start sleeping as the car enters the highway and wake up as we exit the highway.
It's so weird on that day, an accident happened. About half the way there, I started to dream. I dreamed that I was driving, but I actually couldn't drive. I couldn't drive but was driving. Accidents were bound to happen..
6:00
Thus, I dreamed again, I couldn't drive but was driving on the highway. Plus I dozed off. That is wrong, no one can doze off while driving on the highway. Accidents were bound to happen. I was sleeping in the dream. So I shook my head, trying to wake me up. Then I woke up but felt dozy. No, I have to woke me up. Shook again. It was like I'm awake or asleep. I kept shaking my head, but I was like awake or asleep. I opened my eyes slightly and knew I was in the car, the wind was blowing, and I was driving. Why am I driving? I can't drive but I am driving. I shouldn't drive on the highway while I doze off. Then I shook, and I woke up. When I woke up, I found I was really driving. I thought: I'm not driving. Am I gonna to Xin Zhu Lotus Society? Didn't Layman Wu pick me up?
