[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.
