      Spiritual Harvest in a Large-scale Korean Traditional 
      Festival  
  
       By Gangwon-do News Group (Originally in Korean)  
        [Gangneung] A large-scale Korean traditional festival, Gangneung Dano Festival was held from June 17 to 24, Golden Year 4 (2007). This festival was designated as Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. Every year, about 1 million visitors go to the festival from around the nation. Gangwon-do Province fellow initiates, in cooperation with initiates from other places, set up a booth and gave out Supreme Master Television and Alternative Living promotional messages to the visitors. We had made fans and balloons containing the Supreme Master Television logo, which the visitors found irresistible. It was amazing to see so many people holding the fans and balloons making the entire festival venue and even the Gangneung City look like a sea of Supreme Master TV logos. Additionally, initiates used their vocal chords to attract festival goers and encourage them to come and try the free vegetarian samples, and also provided flyers and sample booklets. Apart from the promotion at the festival venue, we also carried out various other activities. From June 21 to 23, we paraded our cars with Supreme Master Television banners on them around the streets, and additionally handed out Supreme Master Television/Alternative Living flyers and fans. As Gangwon-do Province is a top summer holiday destination for Korean people - about 20 million people visit every summer - initiates continue to place Supreme Master Television banners in easy-to-see places.  On the last day of the festival, we held a video seminar at 
        Gangneung Women's Center. In the lecture shown, Master elaborated on the 
        Truth that we are the Buddha, our True Self is God. A gentleman was so 
        touched that he applauded several times. Before learning the Convenient 
        Method of meditation, he shared his opinion with others. Thirty years 
        ago he experienced that humans and God are one. He looked at many religious 
        scripts to prove it, but could not find the right book. He was so happy 
        to see Master's lecture and encouraged others not to miss such a precious 
        chance to learn Her teachings.  
 Jinju New Meditation Center 
  By Jinju News Group (Originally in Korean)  
        
        
      [Jinju] The wish of fellow initiates in the city of Jinju to 
        have a place of their own to share Master's teachings with fellow citizens 
        has come true! On June 24, Golden Year 4 (2007), local practitioners invited 
        a Quan Yin messenger and brothers and sisters from Busan Center to celebrate 
        the opening of the new Center. They meditated together and enjoyed a pleasant 
        dinner party. Local initiates are delighted and eager to share Master's 
        teachings more broadly based from this new Center.
