Report from Mexico

[Monterrey] Recently, several initiates moved from various locations in Mexico to Monterrey. They decided to meditate as a group and share the teachings of The Supreme Master Ching Hai with people throughout the city of Monterrey, as well as those living in the northern part of the country.

When they heard that a Quan Yin messenger was in Mexico and wanted to visit Monterrey, the group immediately focused on finding a suitable place to hold a conference featuring Master's videotaped lectures. They were able to reserve the Auditorium Lope de Vega on the campus of Regiomontana University, where the videoconference was held on August 27, 1999. Many people who attended were impressed with Master's teachings and asked to learn the Convenient Method.

A few days before the videoconference, a request for information about Supreme Master Ching Hai's teachings came from the Student Association at the Technological Institute of Superior Studies of Monterrey. The Quan Yin messenger went to the Association's monthly meeting and introduced the Quan Yin Method. Many students were touched by the Love of Supreme Master Ching Hai and expressed a strong desire to invite Her to lecture at that prestigious institution.

After the videoconference, since the number of fellow practitioners had increased, local initiates started a Center in Monterrey where practitioners could meditate together. Since then, initiates have been distributing pamphlets on a regular basis. During the Christmas holiday, they organized the distribution of food and bedspreads to people in need. Moreover, a group of initiates recently opened the first vegetarian restaurant in the city of Monterrey. Vegetarian cooking classes are now being offered to the local people, along with information about the importance of being vegetarian.
