November. Phuong Guo Wu (shown at left in photo) was an international traveler who had visited almost every country in the world. She and her husband were based in Saigon, where their land holdings and businesses were extensive.

在西貢政變之前，有一次，上人突然打電話找果悟，當時她與丈夫都在家。她很驚異，馬上問上人發生了什麼事。上人回答說：「沒事。」在電話上，上人與他們進行了簡單的交談。上人溫和地向他們建議，提早將事業結束，遷移到美國去。

A little while prior to the change of government in Saigon, the Venerable Master placed an unexpected call to Guo Wu, who was at home with her husband at the time. She was surprised at the long distance call and immediately asked if anything was wrong.
“Nothing,” replied the Abbot. It was a simple conversation in which the Master, speaking to both husband and wife, gently suggested that the couple might tie up their affairs and come to America a little sooner if there was nothing particular holding them there.

但他們並沒有聽從上人的勸告馬上到美國去，而繼續留在西貢。結果，當越南易幟時，她家損失了一大半財產。 |

Guo Wu and her husband did not follow the Master’s suggestion but lingered on in Saigon. As a result of that delay, when the change of government came, more than half of the family holdings were lost.
