Sharing Master’s Teachings Benefits Everyone

[Harrisburg] For years, initiates in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (the state capital) had contemplated spreading Master’s teachings in the local area, and their idea finally came to fruition when they conducted the first video seminar of 2003 in the city on August 25.

Prior to the event, a group of initiates from Virginia, New Jersey, Canada and Philadelphia, PA came to Harrisburg to help with the preparations. And through Master’s blessings the venue was given a warm, nurturing atmosphere. During the video presentation, the audience was captivated by Master’s words, as some frequently nodded in agreement, others showed understanding smiles, and one black brother was moved to tears.

A Polish participant who had been a strict vegetarian for many years told us that several days before the seminar God had shown her a bright, Heavenly light. She asked that she be allowed to see the light again if it was a true manifestation of God’s power, and then she saw the light two more times. After attending the seminar, the woman learned the Convenient Method and is now eagerly awaiting full initiation. The sister knows that it is her time to go back to Heaven with Master through daily meditation while taking care of her regular worldly duties.

Many participants in the seminar learned the Convenient Method and some requested full Quan Yin initiation. While learning the Convenient Method, they all enjoyed their meditation very much. Everyone, including those who were not yet ready to learn the Convenient Method, had positive comments about their experience and said that Master is beautiful and Her lecture was wonderful.

The local initiates were joyful about the experience of organizing the Harrisburg seminar, which taught them many spiritual lessons and demonstrated the boundless benefits of working in harmony to spread Master’s teachings. We look forward to more opportunities to convey Her loving message in the beautiful state capital of Pennsylvania.

Report from New York, USA

Sharing the Truth to Promote World Peace

 

[New York] Two years have passed since the September 11 disaster shocked the world. This catastrophe will forever remain in people’s hearts, urging them to reflect and work together for world peace. In order to share the message about “The Way to Peace” with local residents, New York initiates held a Truth-sharing video seminar in Manhattan on September 14, 2003.

As they had only a short time to prepare, the initiates hurriedly publicized the event through fliers and posters. Although New York practitioners are usually busy with mundane work, they wholeheartedly supported this Truth-sharing activity and eagerly participated in the preparations. In culturally oriented districts such as SoHo, people readily accepted the fliers, and in fact, many came forward to ask for them. Some middle-aged people took their fliers home to read as though they were great treasures.

On the day of the seminar, the venue was beautifully decorated with Master’s paintings and photos. After viewing Master’s videotaped lectures, many guests stayed behind to learn the Convenient Method, while some requested initiation into the Quan Yin Method.

New York initiates are very grateful to Master for giving them this opportunity to serve their fellow brothers and sisters, and thus help their love and wisdom to develop and grow. However, the most precious gift that the initiates received from Master was the indescribable bliss that filled their hearts when they were totally immersed in the work of Truth-sharing.
