一、開光感應
這尊藥師佛，七年前是在一家傢俱拍賣店請來的，因為看起來令人喜歡，當初只打算擺在客廳當裝飾。民國八十一年六月中旬，林鈺堂博士回國，順便來我家，看到這尊佛像即主動替祂開光。開光後第三天清晨約五、六點左右，我還躺在床上，此尊藥師佛即現一巨大金身，其手從我頭頂重擊，隨即整日全身發熱，尤其舌頭好像燒焦似的，但是覺得很舒暢，整個白天不用去上廁所。當晚即去電美國請問林博士為何如此？林博士說這是開光已請到佛蒞臨，因而感應加持，應是瑞相。從此在家即設置佛堂，早晚焚香、念佛、禮佛，並持誦《金剛經》。林博士並建議我流通此像，與大眾結緣。我就拍攝相片，分贈親友。

二、帳頂顯聖
民國八十五年七月十三日中興讀書會辦了一個合歡山觀星活動。出發時山下十分熱，可是過了霧社，山中霧漸濃，寒意加深。到達目的地時已飄著小雨，大家仍興緻高昂的紮營。山上天黑的早，便圍坐吃晚餐聊天；聊著聊著，風雨竟更大；山上沒處逛，只好進帳篷休息。不料風雨更強，吹過山谷的聲音可以用狂嚎形容。輕便的蒙古包彷彿即將被連根拔起般。有如此恐怖的經驗，我一直唸著「南無觀世音菩薩」，半小時後帳篷頂端竟然出現姐夫曾祚康居士送我的藥師佛聖像，漆黑中顯得特別亮。一分鐘左右才消失。此時我寬心許多，矇矓中入睡。十一點多風雨漸小，至隔晨三點多，竟然滿天星斗，許多人便著衣觀星，接著看日出，真是難忘的一夜。

三、倡印流通
經過這兩次感應，我遂決定請印刷廠製版，彩印千份，廣結佛緣。林博士亦囑將此相片之正片分寄美國、馬來西亞及台灣多處，以便各地信士皆能印贈流通之。願有緣得此聖像者，皆能恭敬供奉，咸蒙加被。

Miraculous Inspiration of Consecration
by Zeng Zuokang,
a retired teacher in Taiwan
September 9, 1996
This image of the Healing Buddha (or Medicine Buddha) was obtained from a furniture auction store seven years ago. Because of its visual attractiveness, the image was originally intended only to be an ornament in the living room.
In mid 1992, when Dr. Yutang Lin visited my home during his trip back to Taiwan, he saw this image and offered to consecrate it. In early morning of the third day after the consecration, around five to six o'clock, while I was still in bed, this image of the Healing Buddha appeared with a gigantic golden body and his hand hit heavily on top of my head. Consequently, my body was very hot the whole day; particularly, my tongue felt like it had been burned. However, the whole feeling was actually very comfortable, and I had no need to use the toilet for the whole day.
That night I phoned Dr. Lin in the U.S. and asked about this phenomenon. Dr. Lin said that it was because the consecration had invited the arrival of the Buddha, hence it was a blessed event and should be a good sign. From then on, I set up an altar at home, and every morning and evening I burn an offering of incense, do prostrations, and chant Buddha names and the Diamond Sutra.
Dr. Lin also suggested that I distribute this image to the public. So I started to take photos of the image for distribution among friends and relatives.
Miraculous Appearance at the Top of a Tent
by Lin Xiaomei,
a teacher at Cao Tun public secondary school,
Nantou County, Taiwan
On July 13, 1996, the Zhongxing Reading Society organized a stargazing trip to Hehuan Mountain. It was very hot when the trip started at the foothills, but, after passing Wushe, it started to get foggy and cold. There was a little rain when we arrived at our destination, but everyone still pulled up the tent in high spirits.
Dusk arrived quite early in the mountains. We then had supper and chatted together. While chatting, the rain and wind were getting heavier and stronger. Having nowhere else to go, we could only get back into the tent. Nonetheless, the rain and wind grew so strong that the tempest was roaring fiercely over the valley. It seemed that the light tent we were in would be pulled away anytime.
In such a horrible situation, I just kept chanting NAMO GUANSHIYIN PUSA (Refuge in Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara). Half an hour later, the Healing Buddha image that my brother-in-law, Mr. Zeng Zuokang, gave me, suddenly appeared at the top of the tent. The image was extraordinarily bright in the darkness, and it lasted for about one minute. By that time I was much relieved and gradually fell asleep.
Around eleven o'clock at night, the rain started to get lighter; the sky was cleared by around three o'clock in the morning. Therefore, many of us went out to watch the stars and then the sunrise. It was indeed an unforgettable night.
Printing for Free Distribution to the Public
After these two miraculous incidents, I decided to have one thousand color copies of this holy image printed for free distribution to the public. Dr. Lin also asked me to send out positive films of the image to many places in the U.S., Malaysia and Taiwan so that believers everywhere can pint it for free distribution. May all who obtain this holy image worship it with reverence and thereby receive its blessings.
