Xi’an is a city in Shaanxi Province of China. It was the oldest capital of ancient China with one of the
most famous heritage sites today – the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China. In the area,
there is the Terracotta Army, with the collection of more than 8,000 terracotta warriors together with
chariots and horses, buried with the emperor to protect him in his afterlife. According to the record, the
construction of the tomb involved over 700,000 workers. However, due to the extremely large site and
the construction period of nearly 40 years, the actual number of workers could be multiple, up to
millions.
In early May 2015, Master Acharavadee Wongsakon and over 80 students traveled to this place. Upon
arriving, she felt that the area was covered with the energy of tremendous sadness, suffering and
vengefulness. After the group finished their meditation practice, they dedicated the merit and shared
loving-kindness to all souls that were still trapped in the place so they could move forward to their next
realm; either good or bad, according to their karma.
Later, they went to visit Longmen Caves, another historical place. During the visit, Master Acharavadee
Wongsakon felt the desperate and saddest energy current surrounded the area. After talking to the
guide, she learned that in 1931, the most devastated flood occurred in China by the overflowing of the
Huange He (Yellow River). It was one of the deadliest floods that killed over three million people.
Through sudden death, large number of souls had been trapped there. With compassion, Master
Acharavadee and her students prayed and shared loving-kindness to those souls for them to be freed
from such entrapment and to find their way to the new realm.
