在西贡政变之前，有一次，上人突然打电话找果悟，当时她与丈夫都在家。她很惊异，马上问上人发生了什么事。上人回答说：“没事。”在电话上，上人与他们进行了简单的交谈。上人温和地向他们建议，提早将事业结束，迁移到美国去。

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.

但他们并没有听从上人的劝告马上到美国去，而继续留在西贡。结果，当越南易帜时，她家损失了一大半财产。 |

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.
