[Vancouver] Some days ago, the Vancouver Center was visited by a couple of artists who were vegetarians and practiced meditation for several decades. By accident, they noticed Master's sample booklet in a coffee shop, so they immediately got in contact with the Center. Fellow practitioners invited them to visit the Center to watch a video of Master. When they first arrived, the husband excitedly told fellow practitioners that he had driven around this place before he had contacted us. They lived more than an hour's drive from the Center in another city, yet he could confidently describe the details of streets, houses, etcetera. Then, something more incredible happened! When he saw Master's photo in the corner of the room, he said he had seen it in a vision before. He was very much astonished by all these incredible happenings! | They then entered the group meditation room. The man froze immediately and he stared at a poster of Master without blinking. A few minutes later, he broke into tears, just like a child who has found his dear mother and wanted to unleash all his emotions with no regard for anything else. He looked as though the deepest part of his soul had been touched and his genuine emotions just flowed out naturally. It made the others around him feel the same way. After a very long time, he hesitatingly said that he really felt secure inside; felt a sense of fullness and a feeling of really being home. He said repeatedly: "I'm home! Not surprisingly, the couple decided immediately to apply for initiation. Before leaving, the husband said with sincerity that he would be very happy to have the chance to help Master serve people. Fellow practitioners said good-bye to them and wished wholeheartedly that they would arrive Home soon.¡¹ |

Fellow practitioners at the Mexico Center received a special invitation to meditate on a mountain. The invitation came from a group of UFO researchers intent on making contact with aliens. We arrived at the mountain top in the evening at the scheduled time and we meditated together. Soon afterwards, a UFO was seen flying in the sky above Mexico City! Several days later, a popular radio station aired the account of an UFO flying above the city. The audience was invited to phone in to share their personal experiences on that day. A sister and I phoned the radio station to provide information about the group meditation that we had undertaken on the mountain top on that day. What surprised us was that the person in charge of the radio program had participated in the UFO conference in Costa Rica and said that he had seen Supreme Master Ching Hai there and said hello to Her. When we checked this, we discovered that Master had not been in Costa Rica at that time! When we told the program director that what he had seen was Master's manifestation body, he was very much astonished. | Fellow practitioners were happy for the radio program director who had obviously seen Master's manifestation body. For that reason, several fellow practitioners visited him. During the visit they learned that he was also the Chief Editor of the "Contact magazine. He also expressed a wish to include information on Master and Her teachings in this publication. At that moment, he has arranged a time slot to broadcast Master's teachings on his radio program, helping many people to get to know the living Master. As a result, many people have come to the Center and are now waiting initiation.¡¹ |

[Melbourne] As part of an on-going campaign to promote Master's teachings and the Quan Yin Method, initiates in Melbourne have been distributing thousands of leaflets and sample booklets at a variety of festivals including the Tet Festival in Footscray, the Mind-Body-Spirit Festival in Melbourne City and the Spiritual and Health Festival in Bendigo. The highlight of this campaign was the Tet Festival where we had two stands displaying Master's books, tapes and magazines. We also played Master's videotapes which many people watched with great interest. The Mind-Body-Spirit Festival was held at the Melbourne Exhibition Center and was also a big success. Over four days there were approximately 20,000 visitors! | Another initiative that we've undertaken was to advertise through Melbourne's Community TV station (Channel 31). We will soon take part in the Footscray Park Tet Festival again. We hope our efforts will make known to the public the benefits of practicing the Quan Yin Method with guidance from our great Master, the only one who can bring true happiness into our lives and lead us to eternal liberation.¡¹ |

[Chiayi] Having enjoyed working with our fellow practitioners in organizing the previous Loving Garden Fair, the Chiayi's Women Kiwanis Club once again invited the Chiayi Center to participate in the Garden Fair " Appointment With Environmental Protection " at the square in front of the Chiayi City Stadium. As soon as they got the invitation, fellow practitioners muster their energy and got to work. At dawn, a few fellow practitioners started making the exquisite and delicious vegetarian food for the visitors and guests. Others set up and decorated the booths, putting up many of Master's aphorisms which immediately attracted by their distinct content. They stopped at the booths and began to browse through Master's publications and enjoy Her elegant pictures, paintings and lantern designs. | At the Information Desk, fellow practitioners explained to inquiring visitors Master's teachings, and offered them Supreme Master Ching Hai News magazine. The atmosphere was full of joy and delight. Everyone was bathed in God's enormous love. The local cable television Shih-Shing also sent a reporter to interview us and video our booths. The fair ended with great success.¡¹ |
