[Taipei] On November 15, 2003, fellow initiates from the National Taiwan University (NTU) Light and Sound Association launched their third Truth-sharing activity at the University. The theme of the event was “New Life in the Golden Era — the Ideal Healthy Lifestyle of the Vegetarian Generation.” In high spirits, initiates from universities and colleges across northern Formosa gathered on NTU’s Palm Boulevard early in the morning to decorate the venue and distribute fliers, earnestly hoping that the good news about the Quan Yin Method would reach every corner of the campus.
Displayed on the sides of the Association’s exhibition booth were replica prints of Master’s paintings Flowers in the Heart Never Whither and Mangosteen, perfectly complementing Her photo, which was placed at the back of the booth facing visitors. Master’s lecture videos were shown continuously on a TV screen while the fellow practitioners worked eagerly to accommodate visitors. All through the day the initiates got a warm reception from guests as wave after wave flowed in and out of the booth. Displayed side by side with many other books on healthy eating was Master’s Supreme Kitchen cookbook, and early in the morning, two alert mothers with good affinity came to the venue and asked specifically to purchase the book. Also, a number of visitors came forward to make inquiries, and many enrolled to learn the Convenient Method.
Before noon, several young students were already waiting to learn the Convenient form of practice on the lawn behind the exhibition booth. Their sincerity and longing were clearly discernible, and at 2:00 p.m. sharp these eager Truth-aspirants formally became members of the Quan Yin family through a Convenient Method instruction session. During the transmission, some of the fellow initiates witnessed their relatives board the “Convenient Method train” and thus begin to enjoy Heavenly bliss while on earth as their faces glowed with joy and contentment.
Observing the booth’s counter become empty as Master’s cookbooks, sample booklets and other publications were acquired by visitors, and seeing the peace and tranquility on the faces of the new Convenient Method practitioners, the initiates realized that their Truth-sharing activity at the National Taiwan University had come to a successful conclusion. The brothers and sisters who participated the fair plan to continue passing the torch of Truth through such events until as many souls as possible attain immediate enlightenment and liberation in one lifetime!
Master’s Blessing Power Pervadesthe 2003 National Religion Expo
by Hui-wen Chen, Chiayi
[Chiayi] From November 5 to 9, 2003, The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association again participated in Formosa’s annual National Religion Expo held at the Dounan Sports Field. The Association’s exhibit, expressing the theme “God Takes Care of Everything,” included a brief introduction to Supreme Master Ching Hai and the Quan Yin Method and an attractive display of Her publications. The focus of the exhibit was the newly published illustrated book of wisdom tales God Takes Care of Everything. On the evening of November 7, initiates working at the Expo held a well-attended Truth-sharing seminar featuring Master’s lecture videos shown on a huge projection screen, along with a Convenient Method teaching session.
From its preparatory stages to its conclusion, the event gave testimony to Master’s incredible potency, which takes perfect care of everything and leads people with affinity to establish contact with Her when the time is right. For example, on the eve of the event, members of a local religious group approached the work team to ask if they could arrange the seats in the venue in advance so as to expedite their activity, which was unexpectedly re-scheduled to occur immediately after the Quan Yin seminar. The fellow initiates gladly complied with the group’s request and the next day were surprised to find that because of this arrangement, all the seats in the venue had been properly placed. Also, the group’s members turned out to be a loyal audience for the showing of Master’s lecture videos.
A constant stream of guests visits The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association exhibit. The Truth-sharing seminar featuring Master’s video lectures shown on a huge projection screen is a major focus of attention at the Expo. Through the Expo, many of the religious people and other guests attained a deeper understanding of Master’s teachings, and went a step further by learning the Convenient form of practice or requesting initiation into the Quan Yin Method. One new Convenient Method practitioner shared with the initiates how she was guided to the Expo by seeing its well-lit lamps when she had lost her way that day, and also how she was attracted by Master’s enchanting image on the large projection screen upon entering the venue. The sister also expressed a sincere desire to receive Quan Yin initiation in the near future. Another gentleman said that while meditating with the Convenient Method, he had had his first experience of an inner vision.
The initiates who participated in the 2003 National Religion Expo are deeply thankful to their merciful Master for giving local residents another opportunity to learn about the Quan Yin Method of meditation. They also thank Master for bestowing Her boundless grace on the event, which elevated them both tangibly and intangibly.
