A Retreat Filled with
Joy and Bliss

[Byron Bay/Northern Rivers] High on a mountain plateau covered with lush lawns and flowering shrubs in a wilderness sanctuary in the Northern Rivers area of New South Wales, a recent three-day meditation retreat gave local initiates great spiritual rewards. The deeply felt energy of Master's omnipresence and love created a scene like one from a heavenly dimension! The joy and harmony we experienced made us all wish to stay forever in this paradise created by Master.

For the first two days, we enjoyed an atmosphere of misty, showery weather in the protection and coziness of the meditation hall. And on the final day, crisp clear weather made a barbeque for initiates and Convenient Method practitioners a picture of pure happiness. All the participating brothers and sisters felt spiritually rejuvenated, while enjoying an elevated feeling and the autumn sunshine. It was a delight to witness in each other and ourselves the benefits of sincere devotion to Master's great gift of the Quan Yin Method, as we all lingered, not wanting to leave. Until the next retreat, this experience and our fond memories, along with Master's great love, will carry us through!
