Spreading Loving Vibrations to
Comfort Longing Souls

[Los Angeles] After the 911 incidents in New York and at the Pentagon, initiates from the Los Angeles Center followed Master's advice and met for group meditation each day of the week at several locations. Fellow practitioners also wished to spread a more positive and loving vibration during this difficult time, so we prepared thousands of flyers and brochures bearing Master's photo, bookmarks and material about the Quan Yin Method, which included information on our TV broadcasts, website and telephone numbers.

 

World Fest 2001

October is the time of year when people from all walks of life gather for many festivals celebrating the coming Fall. This October was no exception, and several festivals were scheduled in different locations within driving distance of Los Angeles Center disciples.

World Fest, which celebrates a vegan (pure vegetarian) lifestyle, was the first of these October festivals that we attended. This festival always takes place in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles and more than 10,000 people usually attend. The Hollywood crowd is not an easy group to impress. However, this year was different. Perhaps the recent disasters in the U. S. caused everyone to look within and reflect about his or her own mortality.

Some initiates created a collage of photos with exclusive images of our Relief Team handing out food at the 911 Disaster Relief Booth located near Ground Zero of the World Trade Center. Festival goers were highly impressed by this collage. Many people eagerly accepted the information we handed them about Supreme Master Ching Hai and the Quan Yin Method, and stayed around to request more information and/or be interviewed for the TV program "A Journey through Aesthetic Realms."

One young woman who has been a vegan for many years felt drawn to our booth and stared unblinkingly at Master's photo. Just recently, she received an inner message about Quan Yin Boddhisatva and felt it was no coincidence that the Method Master teaches shared the same name.

The All Asian Harvest Moon Festival

The following Sunday, we set our sights on the All Asian Harvest Moon Festival, held in an area near Los Angeles where many Chinese Americans live. The atmosphere and vibrations were comfortable as the Festival's booths formed a circle and each looked like a small castle with colorful banners flowing in the gentle autumn breeze.

Once again, a colorful collage of photos formed an artistic gallery where festival goers could walk around and look at the pictures of the 911 disaster up close. Thousands of people came to our booth and happily picked up free flyers, brochures, News Magazines and complimentary sample booklets.
