Master’s Teachings Reach
the Land of the Midnight Sun
By

[Helsinki] From October
16 to 17, 2004, Finnish initiates conducted eight video seminars at
the Fair of Spirit and Knowledge in Helsinki, capital of Finland, known
as the Land of the Midnight Sun because during summer the sun shines
twenty-four hours a day in the northern regions. Twenty thousand copies
of magazines about the Fair, which included information about the Quan
Yin Method, were delivered to households all around the country.
Approximately 10,000 people attended the
event, including residents of Finland, Russia, Estonia and even several
Arab countries. Numerous attendees visited the initiates’ exhibition
room, which housed Master’s photos, books, DVDs and other materials.
Outside the room the initiates placed a beautiful lamp with a flowing
waterfall symbolizing the inner Light.
On both days, four seminars were held
every two hours, and many guests came before the seminars began, being
attracted by Master’s video lectures shown on a 120” video
projection screen in the seminar room. The initiates encouraged the
visitors to enter and offered them warm tea as the weather outside was
quite cold. Many guests spoke with the sisters and brothers about their
spiritual paths, and some even praised Master’s extremely pure
energy. Others discussed the meaning of various Bible passages, and
many inquired about the vegetarian diet. One woman, who organizes similar
spiritual fairs in Estonia, liked the atmosphere so much that she asked
if the initiates would go to Estonia, which borders Finland, to conduct
a seminar.
Each seminar started with a presentation
of one of Master’s lecture videos, and then an initiate briefly
explained the Quan Yin Method and initiation. Afterwards, any participants
who were interested stayed to learn the Convenient Method and then were
given a chance to pose questions, but most were so satisfied with the
meditation that they had nothing to ask.
