        [Kathmandu] On the 
          holy day of May 4, 2004, the 2548th anniversary of Lord Shakyamuni Buddha’s 
          birth, fellow practitioners from the Kathmandu Center distributed copies 
          of The Key of Immediate Enlightenment sample booklet to local 
          residents. The initiates felt that by sharing Master’s teachings, 
          Her positive loving power would help raise the consciousness of the 
          people and lead their country into a peaceful state. 
          
          Beginning in the morning, the Quan Yin practitioners gathered at the 
          Swayambhu Nath*, a holy place for both Hindus and Buddhists, to distribute 
          Master’s booklets. Passersby were very eager to learn about meditation 
          and a true Master, and many were surprised to receive such an exceptional 
          publication bearing a beautiful photo of Master free of charge. Some 
          could not believe that it was free and even tried paying for their copies.
         The brothers and sisters were very 
          happy to discuss Master and meditation as the environment was peaceful 
          and the weather pleasant, making it easy to share the supreme teachings. 
          Everyone felt that Master’s blessing was with them that day because 
          it had rained on the previous few days and everything went better than 
          planned. The Nepalese initiates are confident that through Master’s 
          blessings peace and prosperity will prevail in their homeland.
        * The Swayambhu Nath is 
          the most famous temple in Kathmandu. Because many wild monkeys reside 
          around the temple, it is also is known as The Monkey Temple.
