Reported From USAGreeting The Earth's New Era[Illinois and Indiana] The largest spiritual exhibition "In Spirit" of the Midwest was held recently in Chicago, Illinois in USA. Fellow practitioners actively participated in this unusual activity in order to let various cirlces of spiritual practitioners know of Master's holy name and be introduced to the Quan Yin Method. Master's booth was brightly and uniquely arranged. Besides showing Her videotapes and displaying various issues of the Supreme Master Ching Hai News magazines, sample booklets, books, including the "Supreme Kitchen -- International Vegetarian Cuisine," and audiotapes, we also displayed several styles of Master's artistic designs: Celestial Clothes and Jewelry. Vegetarian hamburgers of various special flavors for our visitors were also prepared. A continuous stream of visitors was attracted by Master's manner, wisdom and humor on the videotapes. They all deemed that Her teachings were clear, simple and logical. After understanding the teachings, one lady was very happy and felt that she had found the true Master. She exclaimed, "What Master has said is really correct! I've been fed up with people saying at every turn, 'I am a Catholic, or I am a Christian, etc.,' but they never say that all we need is enlightenment!" She immediately decided to learn the Convenient Method and tried going on a complete vegetarian diet. Besides purchasing vegetarian hamburgers and audiotapes, she requested some sample booklets to share the information about Master with her friends. Another lady, who came from New Jersey to visit her daughter, liked Master's picture very much. After fellow practitioners introduced Master's teachings to her, she commented, " I think that everyone needs enlightenment." She immediately purchased the book "I Have Come To Take You Home." Since her daughter's booth was directly facing ours, whenever they had time they would attentively watch Master's videotapes. On the second night, the lady saw Master in her dream. A visitor went home and seriously studied Master's books. As a result, she began to believe in Master. The outcome was that she, herself, had miraculous experiences. On the third day of the exhibition, as her family was quarreling, she took Master's book out and tried to convince them, "You see, Master said no violence!" She, then, settled their dispute. The two ladies in the neighboring booth were American Indians. According to their tradition, they also meditated everyday. Knowing that our fellow practitioners meditate at least two-and-a-half hours everyday and frequently attend group meditations and retreats, they were gladly surprised and enviously said, "The energy would be very powerful this way. It's excellent!" They agreed that Master's teachings are the Truth and coincide with the teachings of their ancestors. Upon hearing from fellow practitioners that Master is a real living Master, one of them emotionally hugged a fellow practitioner and said, "I believe that She is. I can feel Her power." What excited her the most was that Master is the first female Master with such great power, and so beautiful, too. This lady also told fellow practitioners that she had been able to communicate with aliens using her wisdom eye since childhood and that the cultural level of the aliens was much more advanced than that of human beings. Indian people usually have followed their tradition. Their ancestors lived on vegetables that they had planted and hunted boars. However, they knew that if a boar was caught after too lengthy a chase, it would not be edible because its body would have secreted a lot of toxins. And before eating any animal's flesh, we should think of all who devote their life to cleansing their karma. She also said, "We also use our wisdom eye to communicate with animals because animals have spiritual wisdom, too." With that, fellow practitioners introduced to her the necessity of a vegetarian diet. She was suddenly enlightened, and made up her mind to start on such a diet. This exhibition has always been a place for spiritual practitioners to gather. The participating visitors all felt that Master's booth was outstanding. There were two ladies who could see people's auras. They saw that Master's poster radiated blue, green and intensive white lights from Her head, and there was a pink light surrounding Her chest. After silently standing in front of Master's poster and staring at it for a long time, a gentleman could not help exclaiming to fellow practitioners, "You are very lucky! Your Teacher has inconceivable great energy." He said that from the poster he sensed an incredible energy pouring over his whole body; and during the silent period, Master had given him many inspirations. The entire venue was displayed with information about the upcoming spectacular changes on Earth; with books about aliens and about the real facts on human beings, the Earth and the universe; and with instructions on how to greet a new era. A mother and her son have spent many years collecting information about predictions of the end of the world, and have combined and edited them into one videotape. Fellow practitioners asked them, "If this day really comes, what should we do?" They were stunned and confounded. So, our fellow practitioners invited them to Master's booth and introduced Her related teachings and information about the Golden Age to them. They gladly listened. After a long talk with fellow practitioners, mother and son were very happy that there was such a great living spiritual Master to save people during the last years. "All people should support Master to accomplish this difficult mission," they expressed. The participants and visitors of this exhibition were all conscious of the fact that the entire Earth is one, and they were very much concerned about its future development. During the last day of the exhibition, we had nectar rainfall; Master's holy love filled heaven and earth, and subsequently, the Earth showed a new life. Due to the spreading of Master's teachings, the spiritual levels of human beings were uplifted higher. As a result, everyone on Earth is full of hope knowing that the walk into the Golden Age will be very soon and will be filled with God's blessings. Making Good Affinities At The Arts Festival[San Francisco] Fellow practitioners in San Francisco took advantage of the once a year Filipino Arts Festival to get in contact with the local Filipinos living in USA to introduce Master's perfect teachings to them. Because our booth was shifted nearer to the entrance of the festival, it was convenient to distribute things and allowed every guest the chance to obtain Master's sample booklet and News magazines. On receiving these free and exquisite books, many guests were happy and said thanks with smiles. Under Master's invisible care, many small details were handled very smoothly. For instance, the place was a hot spot for tourists and parking was a difficult problem. But our vehicle was given a whole day free parking in a car park close to the festival site. Furthermore, every booth cost several hundred US dollars, however, due to the enthusiastic help of a would-be initiate who has been practicing the Convenient Method, fellow practitioners were given a booth free of charge. This would-be initiate is an artist and is now waiting for initiation. He said that after he saw Master's sample booklet for the first time, his painting improved remarkably. He understood very well that it was due to Master's blessings. Therefore, he hoped that he could share Master's blessings with other people so that everyone could have the same benefit. Because of the love that radiates from Master's magnetic field, crowds of people came. Sample booklets and News magazines were all given away very quickly. People reading Master's sample booklet and magazines could be seen everywhere. Seeing that the people were able to make affinities with Master's teachings, all fellow practitioners who participated in the activity were overjoyed! |
Report From KoreaUnderstanding The Method Of Love And Truth[Taegu] Recently, fellow practitioners in Taegu showed Master's videotaped lectures in the audio-visual room of the Taegu Youth Guardian Institute, and shared Master's love and teachings about the Truth with the public and those who were interested in Her teachings. At the same time, they also introduced the vegetarian cuisine. Due to Master's blessings, the weather was very breezy that day and the participants were eager to attend the session. The video lecture session had three programs. The first one introduced the necessity of being a vegetarian, then one of Master's videotapes, "The Method of Immediate enlightenment," was shown. The audience was attentive to the lecture and thoroughly enjoyed Master's humor. Since the audience agreed with the Truth that Master preaches, the venue had a harmonious atmosphere. Then, the fellow initiates and guests discussed many very candid and interesting issues. The last program involved the tasting of the vegetarian dishes. A little half-initiate said that when the fellow practitioners and guests were sharing and discussing problems, he saw two beings with golden light standing together with the practitioners; the golden light they radiated was especially beautiful. Since this was the first time that the little initiate had seen this beautiful scene, he couldn't help telling his mother and the other fellow practitioners. Everyone all agreed that this was due to Master's blessings. The venue was permeated with Master's warm love. The spirituality of the participants was greatly uplifted. Morever, the questions that they asked were all deep and focused and the atmosphere was lively. A fellow sister responsible for cooking in the kitchen couldn't help bursting into heartfelt tears due to the sincere and peaceful atmosphere.
At the videotape lecture in Taegu, Korea, Master's love blesses the vegetarian food to let the guests experience the beauty, kindness and love of vegetarianism. The last program involved vegetarian food tasting. Because there were various kinds of food that looked, smelled, and tasted good, and which they had never eaten before, people kept admiring them and asked in succession about how to cook them and what ingredients were used. Many people said that they now came to understand the purity and the real taste of vegetarian food and would try to eat a more vegetarian diet. Reported From GermanyThe Fresh Flavor of Spiritual Practice[Munchen] A three-day "Spiritual Practice Convention" was held in Munchen, Germany. Our fellow practitioners did not rent a booth, but we still obtained a place to set up an information desk. When Master's elegant sample booklets were displayed, the spiritual teachings of Supreme Master Ching Hai and the Quan Yin Method joyously played a song of triumph in the venue. On the first day of the convention, fellow practitioners brought many boxes of sample booklets to the venue. When a host of the convention saw the booklets, he could not help asking, "Will there be that many people asking for the booklets?" Fellow practitioners answered affirmatively, "Yes, there certainly will be many people who have affinity with Supreme Master Ching Hai and who will like the booklet very much." We also assured him that when the convention was over, our fellow practitioners would help him clean the venue and take back whatever we brought there; this was what Supreme Master Ching Hai has taught us to do. When fellow practitioners distributed sample booklets at the entrance of the convention, some people came and requested the booklet on their own initiative and kept admiring that the booklet was so elegantly printed. After receiving people's sincere encouragement and appreciation, the fellow practitioners, with sincerity tantamount to making offerings to Buddhas, even more enthusiastically wished that those who received the sample booklets could obtain "immediate enlightenment and eternal liberation". During the last day of the convention, some fellow practitioners even took their children with them to distribute the sample booklets, hoping that they could bring the fresh air of spiritual practice -- Supreme Master Ching Hai's teachings -- to more people. Since in Germany many people think that spiritual practice is simply practicing palmistry and curing diseases by Chi-Kong or magical power, Master's teachings can break this impression of the general public regarding spiritual practice and quickly guide sentient beings with affinity to recognize this scientific and logical method. After the convention, fellow practitioners cleaned up the venue. At that time, it started to rain. Remembering that Master said, "Rain is blessings from God," we happily sang "Remember Me When The Rain Falls" on our way back; the blessed cool weather was full of Master's love. Report From FormosaTender Loving Care[Xinzhu] At the beginning of June, fellow practitioners learned from the newspaper that about more than ten Au Lac boat people were rescued by the Coast Guard, after being found floating in the ocean near Xinzhu. They were temporarily staying in the Coast Guard's offices. The practitioners immediately visited them, bringing with them some snacks, food, water and Master's sample booklets and News magazines. Upon arriving, they presented these things personally to each of the boat people, telling them it was given with Master's loving care. When the presents were received, the boat people were surprised and grateful for Master's loving kindness, and the Formosan people's friendliness. They were surprised to see that there exists such perfect spiritual food. They related that they survived several hurricanes at sea before they were fortunate enough to arrive in Formosa, with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Learning this, the practitioners promised to bring them daily necessities as soon as possible, and to pay for the surgery expense for one person whose finger was injured. For the next visit the initiates specially prepared for each of the Au Lac boat people daily necessities: clothing, sleeping bags, personal hygiene supplies, etc. In response to these people's sincere request, they also brought with them Master's books, audiotapes and a cassette player. When they received these things, they could hardly wait to read the books and listen to Master's Au Lac music tapes. They thanked the practitioners again and again, but the practitioners emphasized that it was all from Master's loving kindness, and that they were just using this opportunity to learn the lesson of taking care of others. When they said good-bye to each other, everyone's heart was filled with Master's tender love. Report From Hong KongHong Kong Glorified By Celestial Jewelry |
