The Netherlands
The 3 rd Stop:
Amsterdam, the NetherlandsThe day that Master gave Her lecture in the Netherlands just happened to be Mother's day. She offered Her congratulations and all the flowers She had been given before to the mothers in the hall. The main points of Master's lecture stressed that "Once we know the grace of God, life begins to change, life begins to be the way it should be, life begins to be like heaven." While answering questions after Her talk, Master told us a little story about Her time with a Muslim taxi driver. When She closed Her eyes and meditated, the driver asked Her, "Are you sleeping?" and Master answered, "No, no, I am praying, I pray five or six times a day." The driver said: "But if you pray, you must go to a mosque, you must do this and that." Master said, "No, our prayer is simple. I have a mini mosque I carry in my handbag. Our method is very convenient."
Someone asked Master whether She expected the future coming of Christ, as many people do. Master answered: "No, I don't. I know He came already. [Audience gave a warm round of applause] Master continued: "The Jews asked the same question when Jesus was alive. They were waiting for the Messiah and killed the one that had already come. Don't do the same again."
While answering a question about what Master thinks of angels, Master said: "Angels are my friends. The Father sent them to help me. They do anything I want, and are very helpful people. And after you are initiated, I also ask to supply some more angels for you, personal assistance, at least five for each."
Master gave many people advice about life: "Only enlightenment will make you happy without having any more desires, will make you understand everything, and will loosen your attachment to all kinds of things."
After Master's lively, loving and wise lecture, many people determined that they would get initiation and walk the way Master has shown us. These new torches have now been illuminated and will make our world brighter.

Lecture Tour

Fellow Initiates' Selfless Devotion
Combined Report from The Netherlands
The week before Master's scheduled lecture in the
Netherlands, fellow initiates from various countries got into the full swing
of preparation. The largest number of initiates came from Germany. Among
them was a couple who ran a vegetarian restaurant. They closed it for a
month to follow Master, to help with Her European Lecture Tour. One sister initiate from the USA was bringing video equipment to Spain for the taping of the lectures. On her arrival, she was told that help was needed in the Netherlands. So she handed the equipment over to a local initiate and transferred to another flight to the Netherlands without even stepping out of the airport. When she got to the Netherlands Center, a Quan Yin messenger said to her: "A translator is needed for the lecture in the Czech Republic to translate between Chinese and English. Without hesitation she promised to go there right after the work in the Netherlands was completed.
Many of these initiates came to help voluntarily at their own expense and plunged into the preparations for the lectures immediately upon their arrival.
Two sisters from the Celestial Jewelry Group arrived at the Dutch airport at noon the day before Master's lecture. Since the required paperwork had not been completed, the whole case of jewelry was detained in customs. After going through all the procedures and they were finally able to take out the jewelry, it was already midnight. In the early morning of the next day, they rushed to the lecture venue to prepare the display of the Celestial Jewelry. Then they explained each piece of jewelry's meaning and implications to the visitors. After Master's lecture and the initiation, it was midnight again when they started to pack.
The selfless service and devotion of the initiates from many countries inspired the local fellow-initiates who had also worked wholeheartedly, some on 24-hour standby. "This is the first time I have participated in this kind of work," an initiate said, "I have learned a great deal from the old initiates from different places. They are mirrors reflecting my shortcomings. They are truly a great help to me.
