From
November to early December each year in Khon Kaen of northeast Thailand, an
annual Silk Exhibition is held, other commodities are promoted, and pictures
depicting historical events prepared by city districts are displayed. On the
opening day, a Miss Silk beauty pageant is held. Parades of cars with beautiful
women, attired in exquisite silk costumes, and enhanced by dancing and singing
form a spectacular sight that entertains the crowds.

Visitors are enchanted by this
"charming lady" in the videotape.

Since
booth rentals were very costly, we were fortunate to find an emporium owner
who was willing to share his booth with us. The only setback was that the
television showing Master's videos had to be set up inside and consequently
fewer people got to view Master. Although many passersby thought that we were
playing an ordinary video, some people were attracted by Master on the video
dressed in a golden Thai costume. Wondering where this charming lady was from,
they accepted the sample booklets that were provided free of charge. Looking
at Master's charming photo on the cover, they could not help but praise Her
beauty.
On
the third day of the exhibition, a miracle occurred. A neighboring booth was
vacated, and our booth partner suggested that we move to that location. Thanks
to God's arrangements, we obtained a booth by the aisle where more people
could have an opportunity to learn about Master's teachings. In addition,
we were reunited with several fellow initiates who had lost contact with us,
and we were all delighted at the way things turned out.
Group
meditation is held every evening at the Khon Kaen Center with a major group
meditation on Sundays for both initiates and Convenient Method practitioners.
All practitioners also shared a vegetarian lunch prepared by fellow initiates.
Fellow practitioners in Khon Kaen feel very happy to finally have a permanent
Center.
