Noble Work --
Fun at the Fair While Spreading Master's Teachings
[San Francisco] Held on January 26,
2003, the Lunar New Year Fair was the most successful celebration of
its kind to date for the city of San Francisco. The many diverse booths,
the lion dancing, the firecracker celebration, the free, live music
by professional Aulacese singers and the timing all helped to attract
a large audience to the event.
As
for the spiritual side of the Fair, there were many positives to report
as well, the most prominent being that the large majority of guests
who stopped by our booth genuinely held Master in high esteem. It was
a pleasant surprise to see such sincere interest in Master and the search
for Truth, wisdom and eternal love.
This honest concern was conveyed in many ways. For example, some of
the visitors showed their sincerity by lingering at our booth, either
talking to fellow initiates or watching Master's videos. Other guests
would come to the booth, leave and then return again numerous times.
Many people also came by to express their enjoyment at listening to
Master on the locally broadcast Aulacese radio show.
In addition, visitors were impressed by Master's creative works, including
Her lamp creations, which caught the attention of many. These vehicles
of enlightenment made it easier for visitors to approach our booth,
start a conversation and learn more about Master. Another artistic medium
that guests especially liked was Master's poetry. One man in particular
admired Master's verses so much that he acquired three CDs of Master
singing Her poems right on the spot.
All in all, the 2003 San Francisco New Year Fair was a resounding success.
Besides being one of the most enjoyable local truth-sharing efforts
ever, the Fair was also highly encouraging to local initiates, inspiring
them to practice more diligently and to continue in the noble work of
spreading Master's teachings!
New York Initiates
Celebrate
the Lunar New Year
[New York] In addition to holding group
meditation sessions at the homes of two fellow initiates each Wednesday,
fellow practitioners in New York also participate in weekly Sunday group
meditation at a local high school stadium. After the September 11 incident,
all high schools in New York have tightened their security measures
and other regulations. Consequently, many groups can no longer use their
previously rented venues. However, the local Quan Yin initiates have
special permission not only to continue renting their current meditation
venue, but also to park their cars in an adjoining basketball court.
Undoubtedly it is Master's grace that has provided these opportunities
for practitioners in New York City, where land is considered more precious
than gold!
On
February 9, 2003, the New York Center celebrated the Lunar New Year
with an open house for fellow practitioners and their relatives and
friends, as well as for guests interested in the Quan Yin Method who
wished to learn more about Master. After group meditation that day,
everyone received blessed food and the traditional Chinese New Year's
gift of a red envelope containing money. Sister initiates from the kitchen
team prepared copious amounts of delicious vegetarian snacks for everyone
to enjoy, and many guests were amazed that such delicacies could be
prepared with purely vegetarian ingredients. Finally, all the attendees
wished Master a happy New Year and good health in the future. Everyone
also prayed for world peace and spiritual progress for all fellow practitioners
before reluctantly ending the day's celebrations.
