Buddhist-Meditation-Systematic-and-Practical

Buddhist. At once he began to suffer from a severe
headache. "It's all right," I assured him, and at the same
moment the pain went. "You have power," he declared,
which I denied again, telling him that it may have been
the power of the Buddhas and had nothing at all to do
with me. His doubts regarding supernormal powers
were then resolved and his faith in Buddhism
strengthened.
That night, at the inn where we sleeping, he told me that
he wanted to see the Buddha in a dream and asked me to
help him. But at night, as I told him, I only invoke the
guardian deities to protect us through the hours of
darkness, and not the Buddha, whose puja I do in the
morning. I trusted that he might be fortunate, for our
ways parted the next day.
In the morning he awoke delighted, as he had very
distinctly dreamed of a green horse. I told him to go to
the Dzogchen Gompa of the Nyingmapas. In that shrine
he would see an image of the deity called Horse-headed
Vajra, a green emanation of Amitabha Buddha, and then
inquire whether there was a good teacher in charge. I
told him that if there were, he should take from him the
Refuges (four: Vajrayana Guru, Buddha, Dharma, and
Sangha). He wanted to take these from me, as he now
regarded me as his teacher, but I did not allow him to do
so as I am not a guru and have never accepted any
disciples. Since that time I have not seen him and do not
know whether he is alive or dead.
