By a Quan Yin messenge

In April 2000, Master paid Her first visit to Sri Lanka, a South Asian nation with an ancient civilization. When Master said "Well done!" to the working staff after Her lecture in Colombo, the country's capital, we instantly understood what the expression meant - we had practiced complete submission to God's guidance rather than working with the ego. The preparations for the lecture were a perfect testimony to Master's omnipresent power working through various people and arrangements to fulfill God's plan.

The lecture involved three main stages of preparation. First, we had to find a suitable venue. We did not know where to start when we first arrived in Colombo. There were no local volunteer initiates to help us, and so we sought revelations from our meditation. We eventually found a venue of the right size but in an unsuitable location because of inadequate information access. Later, a civil war broke out in Sri Lanka and we had to change the venue for the sake of safety. This time, it turned out that we found the ideal venue with just the right location and the capacity to accommodate about eight hundred people.

Eight hundred seemed to be an incredible figure. Although the local people are simple and warm by nature and a lecture in the area normally drew three to four thousand attendees, the traumatic outbreak of civil war saw people rushing home and avoiding public places as soon as night fell. Under these circumstances, local residents estimated that an attendance of two hundred people would be quite high. Yet, on the evening of the lecture, about eight hundred guests came, which again verified Master's omniscience.

The guests were both brave and wise, having to undergo curfew inspections after the lecture. Although it was rare for a nun to lecture in Sri Lanka, a number of attendees were touched at their first sight of Master. An elderly dentist who had been on the spiritual path for decades could not hold back his tears. Over a third of the attendees asked to learn the Convenient Method or be initiated into the Quan Yin Method; among them was the dentist, who voluntarily offered his home for group meditation afterwards.
