当年，上人建西乐园时，为美化环境，种植了松树、木瓜、竹等各种植物。一场剧烈的飓风侵袭香港后，新种的树都被吹倒了。上人因此发愿说：“只要我在香港一天，就不准再有飓风发生。” |

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.”

以后，上人在香港居住的十年之间，不曾有飓风侵袭香港。虽然一次又一次的，发出飓风警报，但每一次飓风都戏剧性地突然消失或转移方向。 |

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.
