Panorama of Events

Report from Ontario, Canada


 

[London] On July 1st, 1999, Canada Day, the community where local initiates hold group meditation for Convenient Method practitioners held a multi-cultural fair. It was a great honor for us to be invited to participate in this event, because it was held only for local residents who are international university students, along with their families. Besides us, as a vegetarian group, African, Mexican, Chilean, Chinese and Japanese ethnic groups also prepared food for a free lunch. We served vegetarian food such as Japanese sushi, barbecue, and spring rolls. We also distributed flyers, which introduced Master's teachings and our activities to people in the area. Master's sample booklets both in Chinese and English were also available free for visitors to take.

By attending this event, we had an opportunity to meet many people from different cultural backgrounds and introduce them to the vegetarian diet, Master's teachings and our organization. We were also happy to hear that more and more people are maintaining a vegetarian diet, so the host for the event also prepared some vegetarian food such as veggie burgers and veggie hot-dogs for the dinner that evening. A week later, some Indian and Chinese people from the area came to our Center to ask further about Master's teachings and watch Master's video lecture tapes.
