141/Panorama of Events/ Report from Ontario, Canada

[Toronto] From November 22-24, 2002, initiates from the Toronto Center participated in the annual Whole Life Expo, Canada's largest showcase for advocates of natural health and alternative medicine. The event exhibited the best in natural health products, related services and cutting-edge research, and attracted over 200 exhibitors from across North America.

The TV program A Journey through Aesthetic Realms displayed at the initiates' booth amazed a visiting cinematography artist, who noted that the producer must have worked with wholehearted commitment. When the initiates explained that daily meditation can open up one's wisdom and facilitate full concentration on one's work, she agreed that this was why Master's television program was such a professional production.

One gentleman who was attracted to the booth by the sign "Immediate Enlightenment" listened with delight to an introduction to Master and the Quan Yin Method and excitedly acquired a videotape of Master's teachings. A CD exhibitor at the Expo was especially fascinated by Master's poetry collection The Lost Memories. The poem "Love Melody 4" immediately caught his attention, and he commented on the beauty and excellent phrasing of Master's poems.

While viewing one of Master's videos, a distinguished-looking visitor to the booth exclaimed, "She looks very different with hair!" The gentleman turned out to be Philip Starkman, a psychotherapist and lifestyle counselor with almost 40 years of experience in various forms of meditation and intensive practice in Asian monasteries, temples and ashrams. Mr. Starkman remembered having had lunch with Master at a Zen monastery in Taipei in 1985 (at the time She had the shaven head of a Buddhist nun), when he was very impressed by Her warm, engaging smile.

As the exhibition neared its end, an initiate came by and shared a touching and amazing story. She testified to the truth behind what Master has said about five generations of initiates' families attaining liberation. When she was in Chicago to be initiated with her daughter some years ago, her mother was in an unconscious state. However, when the woman visited her mother after her initiation, her mother awoke and told her that a beautiful manifestation of God had appeared to her. Hearing her mother refer to God as a "She," which she had never done so before, the sister knew that her mother had seen Master. Her mother also said that several deceased relatives were fine, and that she herself would soon be gone, but that she would be fine as well. The following day, her mother passed away.

The initiates who worked at the Whole Life Expo met many Truth-seekers who were aimlessly groping around in the spiritual realm without a proper guide, and felt that they themselves are the luckiest yogis in the world to have a Living Master Who can lead them Home and help them benefit deceased relatives through their practice.
