后来中介又推荐我去其他工厂面试，但我还是没有找到合适的。大约一周后，中介再次打电话告诉我，之前那家晚班工厂的经理做了调整，可以让我上下午班，但需要先上一周的早班生产培训，于是我答应了。培训到第四天时，主管告诉我还要再延长一周，因为一周的时间根本不足以让我完全熟悉工厂的运作和流程。他还说，如果有问题就去找工厂经理谈，但是经理已经准备辞职，那天是他最后一天。我当时心里很不是滋味，觉得好像被耍了，便气冲冲地去找经理问个明白。没想到，他反而问我有没有兴趣做品控技术员（Quality Control Technician）。这份工作的主要职责是确保产品没有瑕疵。那一刻我心里非常感恩观世音菩萨，因为这个岗位比包装工轻松许多，也正是我原本希望能做的那种工作——类似之前的客服岗位，而不是体力活。
Gratitude to Namo the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva, who hears the cries of the world!
Gratitude to all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Dharma Protectors from the ten directions and three times!
Gratitude to my revered Master, Master Jun Hong Lu!
I would like to take this opportunity to share with everyone how I applied the Four Golden Buddhist Practices of the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door—making vows, reciting sutras, reading Baihua Fo Fa, and performing great repentance—to find a new job in just about one month.
May the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva bless me. Today, I vow to learn the Bodhisattva’s spirit of using a thousand hands and a thousand eyes to save sentient beings. With this sharing, may Guan Yin Bodhisattva compassionately bless me so that my testimony today can be transformed into merit.
On January 14, 2025, Sister Qiu dreamt that I was moving into a new home but moved back to my old home after six months. I felt confused because I had already lived in my current home for over a year. Although Master had explained before that “moving house” in a dream can sometimes symbolizes “changing jobs,” I did not think much about it at the time—I was busy preparing to return to China for the Lunar New Year.
When I returned to Adelaide in early February, the factory where I had worked for four years suddenly began to drastically reduce shifts. Although this time of year was usually quiet, I would still get at least two or three shifts a week. But this year was unusually bad—some weeks I only had one shift, and sometimes none at all. Later, I learned the factory was having internal issues, which caused my income to drop sharply. I had already spent all my savings during my trip home for the New Year, so after returning to Australia, I even had to borrow money from my daughter, who is still studying at university and only working part-time.
I realized I could no longer sit and wait for work to come to me. Around two weeks later, to find a new job as soon as possible, I made the following vows at my home altar on February 15:
1、Offer 49 Little Houses to karmic creditors and pray to be blessed with a job that allows me to continue my daily recitations and Little Houses.
2、Use 20% of my merit to pray for a job.
3、Recite the Cundi Dharani 5,000 times.
4、Recite the Mantra to Untie Karmic Knots 5,000 times.
5、Share my experience as a testimony.
6、Recite the Great Repentance (Lifo Dachan Huiwen) 49 times to dissolve obstacles preventing me from finding a suitable job.
After making my vows, I firmly believed that Guan Yin Bodhisattva would help me, so I was not anxious. I focused on sending out resumes, but neglected to keep up with my sutra recitations. One night, I dreamt that my family and I were traveling. I wanted to extend our checkout time, but the receptionist refused, saying the next guest would arrive that day. When I woke up, I realized it might be a sign from Bodhisattva—telling me that I must quickly repay karmic debts through recitation. Otherwise, I would surely encounter obstacles in finding a job. So I immediately stopped sending resumes and focused solely on sutra recitation.
About a week after making my vows, several companies contacted me for interviews. One position was customer service, and the other was for night-shift packaging. I clearly told the agency that I would not consider night shifts because I normally work afternoon shifts. Also, staying up late would affect my health. Therefore, I hoped to get the customer service position, which is much lighter than packaging work.
Instead of the customer service role, the manager of the packaging factory—despite knowing my preferences—still asked the agency to invite me for an interview. I didn’t expect to have another interview opportunity at all. On top of that, I had a cold that day, so I put on a mask and went anyway. To my surprise, the factory manager was incredibly friendly. He had previously worked at my old factory, so he was familiar with my work experience. However, he really wanted me to join the night shift, but I was not interested.
Later, the agency recommended me to other factories, but none of the jobs were suitable. About a week later, the agency called again, saying the same packaging manager had made some changes and would like me to work in the afternoon shifts—but only after completing one week of morning-shift production training. I agreed. On the fourth day, the supervisor told me the training needed to be extended for another week because one week was not enough to fully understand the factory’s operations. He also told me to speak to the factory manager if I had concerns—but the manager was leaving the company, and that day was his last day. I felt upset, thinking I had been tricked, so I went to confront him. Unexpectedly, he asked if I would be interested in becoming a Quality Control Technician—a role responsible for ensuring products meet standards.
At that moment, I felt deeply grateful to Guan Yin Bodhisattva. This job was much lighter than packaging work and was exactly the type of role I had hoped for—similar to my previous customer service job, not manual labor.
However, the job was not as easy as I imagined. There were many product types, machines, and areas, and the procedures were complicated. The previous QC technician had worked in packaging for some time before being promoted, so he adapted quickly. But I was promoted after just one week of training and still didn’t understand the factory’s full workflow. I struggled to keep up, frequently worked overtime, and had no break time. The QC department manager did not consider that I lacked training and told me my performance was below expectations. This caused me immense stress, and I couldn’t keep up with my Little Houses. I even dreamt of myself working at night—tense, anxious, and fearful of failure.
Fortunately, I had made a New Year vow in 2025 to read 365 chapters of Baihua Fo Fa. (Buddhism in Plain Terms) Over time, I slowly understood and let go. At one of my lowest moments, I came across this teaching from Master:
Wenda20180914 — 59:32
“When you completely trust the Bodhisattva, you will have no fear or obstacles.”
A caller asked:
“If a practitioner still feels fear, anxiety, or heavy mental obstacles, does it mean they do not have complete faith in the Bodhisattva? If one has full faith—with no doubt at all—and trusts that the Bodhisattva will arrange everything, then they will no longer experience fear or obstacles, and will truly achieve letting go and emptiness.”
Master replied:
“Yes, that’s exactly right.”
So I repeatedly prayed and told Bodhisattva that I had already done my best. If this job was not suitable for me, I asked Bodhisattva to arrange the best path for me. I would follow whatever came my way.
Around the end of my three-month probation period, I accidentally saw an online job advertisement posted by another agency—recruiting for the exact same position and location as mine. I realized the factory might not intend to keep me. My heart sank. I felt all my hard work had been in vain. But strangely, I also felt a sense of peace and slowly let go of my attachment to the job. I told the agency and asked them to speak with the new factory manager. If it was true, I hoped the manager would allow me to stay until I found a new job.
Then on June 27 Friday, twenty minutes before finishing work, the QC department manager suddenly handed me an employment offer. I thought I had been accepted as a full-time employee—but it turned out to be a weekend-only role, two days a week, twelve hours per shift. I was shocked and unprepared. The QC manager said the hiring decision was made by the new plant manager and asked me to check with him. The new manager, without considering whether I could work weekends, my family needs, or whether I could physically manage 12-hour shifts, gave me no room for discussion and simply told me to accept it. I reported the matter to the QC manager, who still encouraged me to accept the offer.
But after calming down and working in the role for a few weeks, I realized that—this was actually the best arrangement by Bodhisattva.
I finally understood the meaning of Sister Qiu’s dream earlier in the year—“moving to a new home, then moving back.”
This new schedule of working only two days a week suited me perfectly, just like my old job where I only worked two or three days. It allowed me plenty of rest and time to complete my Little Houses. .
Master often says:
“Just focus on cultivating; do not worry about the results.”
The Bodhisattva will always arrange the most suitable path based on our cultivation, merit, and karmic conditions.
Now, not only have I completed my previously vowed Little Houses, but I can also recite more than before every week, and I have enough time to recite additional sutras on Bodhisattva’s Dharma Days, the 1st and 15th of each lunar month.
If there is anything improper in my sharing today, I sincerely ask all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas for forgiveness.
I will bear my own karma and will not let fellow practitioners bear it for me.
