The Jewels of West Africa Shine Brilliantly

  Recently, in Ghana and the Ivory Coast, the "Jewels of West Africa," video seminars were presented to share Masters teachings.

  <Accra, Ghana> A fascinating feature of Ghana's people is their habit of giving wonderful, positive names to shops, such as "Love Photocopying," "Hand of God Hairdressing," etc., which remind one of the names Master uses to emphasize beauty and the positive aspects of life in Her talks.

  All the local would-be initiates (who wish to start a spiritual village in their town), assisted in preparing the seminar at the famous Teachers' Hall in Accra. We produced radio and newspaper ads and distributed brochures to an eager public, and everything went smoothly, thanks to Master's arrangements. The owner of a vegetarian restaurant even wanted to provide food for the spiritual seekers attending the seminar. He and a photographer later became part of the Quan Yin Family.

  Many people attended the seminar, eager to hear the Truth. Ghana, like many other African countries, does not have access to a vast amount of the world's spiritual literature, so when the real Dharma is brought to the people's doorsteps, it is snapped up with joy and gratitude.

Fellow practitioners in Ghana

The video seminar held in Ghana

  <Abidjan, Ivory Coast> In the Ivory Coast ('Cote d'Ivoire' in French), French is spoken by most people and the culture is definitely Afro-Parisienne. Upon arriving in the country, we encountered some obstacles due to the political climate, but when we showed Master's sample booklets and explained our mission, a miraculous change occurred in the people. One brother exclaimed, "Wow, these booklets are better than our passports".

  In the Ivory Coast, the disciples from nearby Togo helped share the teachings. Here, the same format was used for the seminar as for the one in Ghana, except by Master's arrangement, we were able to use St Paul's Church, in the heart of the City of Abidjan, for our venue. We faced many tests, but passed all with flying colors due to Master's love and blessings, which could be felt at every stage of the project. Whenever we
encountered a difficulty, only a simple prayer was required to overcome it.

  The video seminars went smoothly in both countries, so now we have some more aspiring practitioners bringing light into West Africa. As the number of practitioners in Africa multiplies, we are sure that this region will eventually become a paradise.
