Master’s Love Shines at the Surabaya Book Fair 2007
By sister-initiate Anna Rahmawati, Surabaya, Indonesia
(Originally in Indonesian) [Surabaya] On May 28, 2007 (Golden Year 4), the Surabaya Center participated in the Surabaya Book Fair 2007 held by the IKAAPI (Association of Indonesian Publishers), which was attended by dozens of local book publishers. We set up chairs for visitors to watch Master’s video and installed banners with Master’s Alternative Living message around the venue to emphasize the importance of vegetarianism. A surprising number of vegetarians visited our stand. Some came from Christian Advent background, some chose to become vegetarian for health reasons, and some were just following the Javanese tradition of simple living and refraining from killing.
On the first day of the event, a visitor watched Master’s video at our stand before going home with Alternative Living brochures. Two days later he came back and told us that he had became vegetarian! He stated his admiration for the spiritual ideas presented in the brochures and said he intended to follow Master’s teachings. To help people know more about the Quan Yin Method, we also distributed booklets containing Frequently Asked Questions from the Quan Yin website. On the second day, dozens of teenagers visited our stand, reading our leaflets and books with enthusiasm and curiosity, making loud exclamations: “Wow, I could not believe that Einstein was a vegetarian!” “I am amazed that so many of the world’s idols are vegetarians.” We thank Master for this wonderful opportunity to spread Her teaching of love and compassion. We have experienced beautiful things and sensed Master’s blessing all along the way.
