Full Support For Propagating The Truth

All the fellow initiates in Panama are sincere supporters of Master's teachings. To spread Her teachings, they arranged a seminar featuring Master's videos. All of them offered their greatest efforts, as they highly cherished the opportunity of doing Master's work. During the few days of preparation and on the day of the event, they worked day and night distributing leaflets and putting up posters, to let more compatriots know about Master and the Quan Yin Method. Several older practitioners even stopped their own work temporarily to join the Truth spreading work with total devotion. Their only goal was to perfectly convey Master's heavenly message to people who longed to contact God.

A fellow initiate very seriously studied many issues of Master's News magazines, hoping to find a way to successfully introduce Master's universal and brilliant teachings to the multitude. On the day of the seminar, she saw Master's photo radiating bright light. The audience also felt the strong blessing power, and everyone was filled with heavenly bliss. Many people enrolled for the initiation and the Convenient Method, and eagerly purchased Master's publications to further explore Master's teachings. A reporter from Radio Guadalupe signed up for the Convenient Method and wished to introduce Master's teachings on the radio. Furthermore, many individuals and spiritual groups have requested the initiates to make further arrangements so that they might learn more about Master's teachings. Their sincere longing for the Truth was most obvious.

Vegetarian Fever In England

In order to introduce more people with good affinity to Master and the Quan Yin Method, fellow initiates in Birmingham, the largest city in central England, participated in the "Spiritual, Mind and Body Exhibition" to present Master's artistic creations. They also prepared several delicious vegetarian dishes for visitors to taste and to understand the nutritional value of vegetarian food. Because the exhibition hall was not suitable for heavy cooking, fellow initiates made "Japanese vegetarian sushi," "vegetarian hamburgers," and had a "vegetarian barbecue," etc... The response from the visitors was great.

Delicately designed posters attracted many people. Most of them were very curious after tasting the vegetarian food. When they realized that this was a nonprofit, spiritual organization purely for the purpose of promoting vegetarian diet and a high level of spiritual practice, they were very touched. Fellow initiates explained to the visitors in detail simple ways of preparing vegetarian food, having both good taste and nutritional value. The visitors were highly impressed and were interested to know about Master's teachings and the Quan Yin Method. Fellow initiates further understood that God and Buddha could liberate sentient beings with good affinity using various means -- "food" being one of them.

Fellow initiates also actively visited the other exhibitors. Some of them felt the friendly and peaceful atmosphere and came over to buy vegetarian food. They further discussed spiritual practice in depth. Some vegetarian advocates were very happy to see our fellow initiates as if they had found intimate friends. They came over to see Master's video tapes

whenever time allowed. Some picked up sample booklets which they didn't have time to read yet. However, when they saw fellow initiates discuss Master's teachings with visitors, they earnestly joined in the discussion and began to consider spiritual practice. At the end of the exhibition, some of them were feeling connected and asked when they could meet again. They hoped to have more opportunities to understand the Quan Yin Method. The New Focus At The Alternative Health Exhibition In Scotland

Tens of thousands of people were attracted to the Alternative Health Exhibition in Glasgow, Scotland.

Fellow initiates from all over England came to participate in the exhibition to promote Master's teachings. Master's video tapes were played, attracting many people. They were very interest in Master's teachings. Many people came back for more information after receiving the sample booklet. They inquired about Master and the Quan Yin Method. They left happy, feeling satisfied with the answers they had received.

While spreading Master's teachings, fellow initiates had also prepared various kinds of delicious vegetarian food for the visitors to taste. Many of them came back for more after the first taste. They praised, "Vegetarian food tastes so good and is also healthy. I will try to cook some at home. I will eat more vegetarian food from now on." A local health food store owner asked us to sign a long term contract with him to supply various vegetarian dishes for his store. It is quite clear that vegetarian diet in England has been recognized as the new diet.

An Astrologer Is Certain That Master Is The World Saviour

In Calcutta, a fellow initiate met an astrologer, and they talked about the world's future. The astrologer said that the world would take on a new atmosphere around February 1998, and peace would come to the Earth. He continued to say, "Then, a saviour will come to save the world."

Upon seeing Master's photograph, the astrologer looked quite amazed, and said respectfully, "She must be the gift of the world!" He concluded definitely, "It is Her! She is the world saviour, the manifestation of a messiah, peace and mercy. At that time, millions of disciples will follow Her." The astrologer finally solved the mystery about the identity of the world saviour, which he had longed to know for many years.

Formosan Immigrants In Japan Hear About Master's Teachings

The Formosan Immigrants Association in Tokyo held a joyful party in the Koma Theater a short while ago. All Chinese immigrants were invited. It is an annual gathering for the immigrants in and around Tokyo. Many came from the neighboring cities, such as Yama Nashi, Gumn Ma and Yidara Ki.

Fellow initiates in Tokyo also attended the

party. They distributed sample booklets to the people waiting in line to go inside. A student who had just arrived from Formosa told an initiate that he had heard one of Master's lectures in Formosa. Another man said that he had seen Master on Channel 4 TV. Many people started reading the sample booklets while waiting in line. Although the crowd at the party was very large, with Master's blessing power, fellow initiates were able to talk easily to those with good affinity about Master's teachings, adding beauty to the souls at the party.

The Birth Of A New "Spiritual Power Charging-Station" In East Taipei

Under Master's invisible blessings, a new "spiritual power charging-station" was born in the East end of Taipei.

The Book Circulation Department in East Taipei is situated on a major street. It has store at street level, expecting to bring those with good affinities together. It is located near the intersection of Song-san Road and Yong-ji Road, a densely populated commercial area. It's within a few minutes walking distance from the Song-san Train Station. Many bus lines also converge here, so public transportation is very convenient. Nearby, a large parking garage will be built soon. So fellow practitioners won't have problems finding parking spaces in the future.

There are four levels of usable space. The first floor is a bright and clean book store. The second floor is the administrative office for the local Taipei Meditation Center. There is also a simple and open-concept meeting room. It also provides working space for both the translation and art/design groups.

As you walk into the basement, the first thing you see is a resting area. A few more steps down is a wooden floor, which gives people a warm welcome feeling and is the result of meticulous designing by fellow initiates. This place is also equipped to circulate fresh air. All initiates are welcome to come and meditate here during open hours and enjoy a spiritual feast.

This beautiful place has officially opened and is ready for your enjoyment!

Cleaning Lan Tan and Renyi Tan To Protect The Water Sources

To apply Master's teachings, the Chiayi Center has scheduled voluntary community cleaning work to be done each month, and occasional charitable visitations. After several months' cleaning, Lan Tan has gradually regained its original refreshing look. The litter problem from tourists has also greatly minimized.

On a recent trip to Lan Tan, after the entire area had been cleaned, there was still time to proceed to the second stop, Renyi Tan, to continue with the cleaning work. Fellow practitioners, including men and women, old and young, everyone holding litter tongs and a garbage bag, devotedly picked up the litter on the ground, as if they were intoxicated by spiritual trance. Our efforts made the young initiates realize the value of work and service.

Summer in the countryside, amid the soothing breeze while doing simple physical work that flexes the body and raises the arms, helps people forget the pressures of busy city life, and allows people to cultivate themselves, while also benefiting society.

After the cleaning work was over, fellow practitioners cooked their meal. The evening breeze dispersed the smoke and made the sky look hazy. The beautiful mountains reflected in the pond -- making the atmosphere especially serene. Delicious food accompanied by the wonderful scenery; everyone was really delighted.

One Person Practices, The Whole Family Benefits

Singapore is a country highly favored by God. The feedback from the International Book Exhibition recently held at the World Trade Center has continued till now. In a very short time, there have been many new fellow initiates, and even more would-be initiates who have applied for the Convenient Method.

A middle aged gentleman came over almost every afternoon to watch video tapes of Master's lectures. One day he looked very upset. He had been thinking that Supreme Master Ching Hai was his light of wisdom and when someone introduced him to another method of practice, temporarily he was at a loss as to what to do. The Quan Yin messenger thus suggested that he pray sincerely to God for an answer before going to sleep that night. The next day he reappeared joyfully at the center, and said that he was absolutely sure that Supreme Master Ching Hai was the only spiritual master he wanted to follow.

One fellow practitioner's father originally did not know about Master. But after he watched the video tape of Her lecture, "The Greatest Meaning Of Life Is To Practice The Quan Yin Method," his attitude began to change. The brother only put one sticker with Master's picture on his bedroom door, but his father put several on his own door.

One morning, before the father got up, he suddenly saw rings of red light with lotus flowers in the center of them at the window that became brighter and brighter. He felt that it was the Buddhas' and Bodhisattvas' light. He thought that he had walked into the wrong bedroom, that he had slept in his son's room. He thought this because his son practiced and meditated, and thus could obtain blessings from the Buddas and Bodhisattvas. From then on, he began to switched to vegetarian diet, and to worship Master's picture in the morning and evening. Moreover, he now suggests that his friends recite Master's holy name; and told them: "Quan Yin Bodhisattva is very merciful, but Supreme Master Ching Hai is better."

Spreading Love To The Native Inhabitants

In Kuala Lumpur there is a mountain area called Gombak, a government protected area reserved for the native people.

Having contacted some of the locals there, fellow initiates knew their lives have been well taken care of by the government. They lacked only clothing, and a lawn-mower which was most urgently needed. Therefore, fellow initiate from all over the country (including those from Singapore) donated clothing. Also, on a public holiday, they prepared some vegetarian dishes, snacks and drinks, to share with the people there.

Only upon reaching the stream did they know that a bridge had been built over the stream to welcome them, so that they could cross conveniently. This was indeed touching. The local representative repeatedly thanked them as he received the clothing and lawn-mower; and was amazed to find that vegetarian food could be so delicious.

Everyone had a joyous and meaningful day amid the beautiful mountains and streams. The native representative enthusiastically invited fellow initiates to hold retreats in this natural and tranquil valley. The language barrier presented no problem because the strength of Master's love provided the best means of communication.

A Charity Bazaar For The Blind Children

Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association was invited to a most meaningful charity food fair, originally organized by the teachers and parents of the S.R.P.K. St. Nicholas School for Blind Children.

That morning, in time with the beat of the drums, the blind children marched past in high spirits, and the program commenced. A very light shower descended, bringing a refreshing coolness to subdue the hot weather.

Early in the morning, fellow initiates had prepared plenty of vegetarian food, including both Eastern and Western desserts, and also drinks, for the charity fair. The Karaoke sing-along session conducted by the fellow initiates created a warm atmosphere and opportunity for the blind children and adults to show their talents.

Next to the Karaoke area, the guests read Supreme Master Ching Hai News magazines and the specially printed compilations of Master's lectures, while savouring the pure and delicious vegetarian food. They were satisfied both in body and spirit. The beautiful posters of Master on the car windows attracted great attention from the public. As far as we could see, sincerity and cordial love pervaded everywhere.

No More Regret After Meeting The Enlightened Master

Over eighty years old, Mr. Lu has been consuming meat and alcohol all his life. Not long ago, his daughter-in-law took him to a friend's home (an initiated disciple of Supreme Master Ching Hai), to watch Master's lecture videos. Immediately, he decided to pursue spiritual practice, and requested to learn the Convenient Method.

With Master's kind permission, he learned the Convenient Method. Several days later, his chronic disease recurred, so his family rushed him to hospital. The doctor told them it was time to prepare him for his funeral.

His family hurriedly brought him home, bathed him, and put clean clothes on him. They also played the holy song, "Hallelujah" sung by Master, to him through earphones. Shortly after, his relatives saw him begin to smile, then laugh happily, and finally laugh in ecstasy like an innocent child, as he passed away.

This incredible news was widely spread among the neighbours, who had never seen any person laughing so happily while dying. Mr. Lu only followed Supreme Master Ching Hai to practice the Convenient Method and observed the vegetarian diet for only a few days, yet he received such great blessing.
