         [Panama] 
          Two initiation sessions and a video seminar were conducted 
          for sincere Truth-seekers in Panama by a Quan Yin messenger who had 
          recently arrived in the country. For these occasions, many attractive 
          posters were printed for display in supermarkets, while leaflets were 
          distributed to the public. 
         
El 
          Universal, the largest newspaper in Panama, charged only 25 percent 
          of the usual price for a large color advertisement containing information 
          about the seminar and introducing Master, the Quan Yin Method, and its 
          benefits. 
         
RPC 
          Radio, one of Panama's largest broadcasting stations, interviewed us 
          for its comprehensive coverage of the event. During the forty-minute 
          program, many listeners called in to express their yearning to practice 
          the method of inner Light and Sound, which can help them attain peace, 
          contentment, and bliss. Many requested sample booklets and were asked 
          to pick up copies at the radio station. Thus, we delivered to the radio 
          station many sample booklets, magazines, and pamphlets of Master's wonderful 
          discourse entitled "Retrieve the Languages of God."

The 
          video seminar was held on January 16 in the conference room of Panama 
          University. Defying the customary cultural habit of arriving about an 
          hour late for any event, the audience came early that day, and the conference 
          room was filled to capacity before the seminar's starting time of 6:00 
          PM. The great sincerity and yearning of the guests was obvious, and 
          as they continued to arrive, more chairs were added until the venue 
          was completely packed. 
         
As 
          a result, the air-conditioning could not cope with the large audience 
          and many people perspired profusely. Nonetheless, the guests attentively 
          watched Master's wonderful lecture. After the video showing, almost 
          all of the audience members expressed an interest in switching to a 
          vegetarian diet. Many registered to learn the Convenient Method, and 
          some requested initiation into the Quan Yin Method. Due to the overwhelming 
          response, the seminar ended an hour later than scheduled, with everyone 
          being reluctant to leave.

               The 
                audience at the seminar watches Master's video lecture with undivided 
                attention.

After 
          the seminar, we invited the would-be initiates to join the weekly Convenient 
          Method group meditation at our Center. They left their contact information, 
          hoping that we would keep in touch. The next evening, more than one 
          fellow practitioner noticed an extraordinarily bright and beautiful 
          light shining through the clouds! We firmly believed that it was an 
          auspicious sign. Master once said that, although spiritual practitioners 
          are few in number, their influence is infinitely far-reaching. We are 
          happy that many Panamanian people sincerely want to practice spiritually. 
          We are grateful for the earnest support of the local press and radio 
          stations in spreading the news about the seminar, and to many supermarkets 
          for displaying Master's posters. With such enormous support and the 
          deep devotion of so many people, the sky over Panama will definitely 
          shine brightly in the future!
