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.
