當年，上人建西樂園時，為美化環境，種植了松樹、木瓜、竹等各種植物。一場劇烈的颶風侵襲香港後，新種的樹都被吹倒了。上人因此發願說：「只要我在香港一天，就不准再有颶風發生。」 |

In the year that the Master landscaped Western Bliss Gardens with pine, papaya, and bamboo trees, a severe typhoon hit Hong Kong and the winds ripped out the newly-planted trees. At that time the Master laid down an ultimatum: “As long as I am in Hong Kong, there will not be any more typhoons. What happens when I leave Hong Kong is another matter, but as long as I am here, no more destructive storms will hit here.”

以後，上人在香港居住的十年之間，不曾有颶風侵襲香港。雖然一次又一次的，發出颶風警報，但每一次颶風都戲劇性地突然消失或轉移方向。 |

After that, for more than ten years while the Master remained in Hong Kong, not a single typhoon struck the city. Time and again typhoon warnings were displayed, but each time the storm either died out or changed course. The immunity of the city was dramatically evidenced when on several occasions storms beat a straight course for Hong Kong, only to veer off suddenly from as close as fifteen miles offshore.
