          by 
            brother-initiate Edgar Nadal, Lima 
            
            [Cusco] On February 12 and 13, 2004, 
            two seminars featuring Master’s videos were held in Quillabamba 
            City, known in the Incan language as Quechua, “the Moon’s 
            place.” The community is located in a lush, scenic valley 1,047 
            meters above sea level and a nine-hour drive by car from Cusco through 
            hilly terrain reaching 4,600 meters in elevation. Originally, only 
            one seminar was planned; however, due to the earnest requests of local 
            Truth seekers, a second was promptly organized for the following day. 
           
         
         
          The venue for the first seminar accommodated a hundred 
            people, and during the time Master’s biographical video was 
            being shown, the seats were completely filled so about thirty audience 
            members had to stand and watch. The guests also viewed Master’s 
            video lecture The Mystery of the World Beyond, and were greatly 
            impressed with Her wisdom. Many attendees felt blessed to be able 
            to listen to Master’s wise, erudite words and some even encouraged 
            their companies to take the precious opportunity to learn from a living 
            Master. During the seminar the initiates present felt Master’s 
            Heavenly love reaching out to the Truth-seekers, many of whom stayed 
            afterwards to examine Master’s books and beautiful photos on 
            display. 
         
         
           The 
            second seminar, held in an auditorium that seated 120, also had a 
            capacity audience with more than forty people having to stand to watch 
            the videos, and again people showed great interest in Master’s 
            teachings. One audience member even asked with astonishment how Master 
            could be so young and so wise at the same time! In addition, the guests 
            expressed a desire to pursue a vegetarian diet as one brother, a naturopathic 
            physician, provided clear recommendations on healthy, meat-free living. 
            One attendee was extremely touched and said, “Just watching 
            Master’s lecture is enough inspiration to make me change my 
            lifestyle.”  
         
         
          The overall results of the two seminars were outstanding, 
            with nearly half of the guests learning the Convenient form of practice 
            at the first and one third at the second. Also, through God’s 
            blessings, one of the new Convenient Method practitioners from the 
            February 13 seminar kindly offered the initiates a place to hold group 
            meditation, and now Quillabamba City has its own meditation center. 
           
         
         
          On the following Saturday, the initiates met with 
            the new CM practitioners and also taught four others who were ready 
            to learn the Convenient Method of meditation. One of the newcomers 
            said, “I was thinking about it last night and decided not to 
            miss the precious opportunity to feed my soul, which I’ve neglected 
            for a long time.” 
         
         
          The brothers and sisters of Peru were filled with 
            joy and satisfaction at having had the chance to share Master’s 
            wise teachings of peace, love and happiness in distant Quillabamba 
            City, located in the sacred valley of their Incan ancestors.
