Once a Tibetan Living Buddha, the elder of Yellow sect Amchok came to Lei Tsang temple in Seattle. I pointed at one image and said it is ”Di shi”. Amchok shook his head.
I said again:
”Sakradevanam”.
He shook his head again.
Finally I said:
”Sakradevanam Indra”.
Suddenly he understood me:
”It is Indra, it is Indra.”
Then I realised, the heavenly king of Trayastrimsa heaven who is living at Sudarsana City on top of Sumeru mountain, and the one in charge of the emperors of thirty three heavens is known as ”Indra” to all the Living Buddhas from Tibet.

I strongly believe Indra and I have deep causation.
First of all, I was converted from a Christian to a Buddhist at the jade emperor temple, which has the jade emperor as its main god. He is known as jade emperor to the Taoists and Di shi to the Buddhists.
Secondly, before I came to this world, I descended to Sudarsanan City's good dharma chapter. And Di shi gave me two presents:
The princess of Di shi (Lu Fu Qing), and the prince of Di shi (Lu Fu Qi). They wanted to follow me to the Samsara World.
Thirdly, When I was a guest at the heaven. Di shi accompanied me, and I know the four gardens there:
1, Vehicle garden where fast and safe space travelling vehicles were found.
2. Cu-Er garden where the weapons used in the war are produced automatically.
3. Mixing tree garden where heavenly beings have their exciting fun.
4. Blessing tree garden where all kinds of magnificent things can be seen there.
I have seen other treasures such as Di shi net - which is without boundary, Dishi's secret vase, which is also known as virtue vase, saint vase, auspicious vase that can reproduce all kinds of treasures and Di shi's bow.
Indra was very sincere when he accompanied me.
Fourthly, The True Buddha Sutra which flowed from my heart was prompted by Indra's question. The question and answer session fully explained the extent of causation between Indra and Padmakumara.
Fifthly, At the Sudarsana City's good dharma chapter heaven, I saw the secret Sutra of the rituals completed by Indra. This sutra is different from the ones translated by either Shi Bu or Fa Xian.

In the book ”The night of Soul Lake”, I talked about the prince and the Princess of Indra, who followed me to the planet earth. This is a mysterious and colourful story. People asked me incisive question on this.
”Is it true?”
”True.”
”Any Proof ?”
”They showed Indra mudra, when they were born.”
”Who saw this?”
”My wife and Me”
”You are from the same family, so it is not counted.”
Because of this doubt, I have prayed many times to Indra. Hoping that more children will come from the same heaven, and they know how to show the Indra mudra. All of them will cultivate Tantra and protect the True Buddha School.
To prove my point, I quote a letter:
I bow to Grandmaster,
Om mani padme Hum,
I prayed to the Grandmaster and wished that I could have a baby boy during my cultivations in 1989.
Not long later, that was on 7th March 1990 at 7: 15 a.m. (lunar calendar llth of second moon), my wife gave birth to a child. I was there waiting and witnessed the child birth. As it was a baby boy, I was so happy that I forgot to see whether the baby boy showed any mudra. I only had the chance to look at him again when the baby room opened. I was wondering whether he was from the Indra heaven since he was no different from other children. Silently I talked to the child, I told him I was happy to have him, but I did not see him showing any mudra and I would like to see that. Immediately after my thought, I saw him struggling and his face turned red (his whole body was covered with cloth). His left hand came out from the clothes, and his left thumb pressed on the middle and small fingers. He then curved his index finger and pressed on the back of the middle finger. I write this letter to find out from Grandmaster whether this can be considered a spiritual response.
Enclosed is the child's photograph and fifty Malaysian ringgits, please accept my meagre offerings.
Moreover, please let me have the empowerment of longevity Buddha.
I hope to be more witty and have more faith in Amitabha Buddha.
Your disciple, Lian Hua Xiang Zhen
