[Lima]
Recently, a Quan Yin messenger and our local fellow initiates went to
the provinces of Abancay and Cusco in the southern part of Peru and
presented ten video lectures, which were attended by thousands of people.
We
first presented four lectures in one day at the American High School
in Cusco. The audience members were all very interested and anxious
to know about Master's teachings. During the video presentation of Master's
lectures, we noticed a great deal of receptivity and strong interest
among the audience members, which were later reflected in their continuous
questions with spiritual depth. One local teacher especially requested
a picture of Master, because he noticed the spiritual beauty in Her
eyes and hence wanted to have a keepsake of this beautiful image.
At
the end of each lecture, many people requested to receive the Convenient
Method and the News Magazines and other information. The audience was
also served vegetarian snacks.

The
following day we went to the city of Abancay, the capital of Apurimac
Province. This trip was coordinated by a group of initiates from Lima
and Dr. Luz Salas. After following Master and learning the Convenient
Method, Dr. Salas has been actively participating in spreading Master's
teachings. After we presented a video lecture at the University of Abancay,
we noticed that the young students and some teachers were very interested
in knowing about Master's teachings.
Then
we visited the male and female prisons of Abancay respectively and showed
a video lecture in each prison. The inmates were very receptive to us
upon our arrival. During the video presentation, Master's wise words
about the spiritual path and the Truth deeply touched them, especially
the females, many of whom told us, with tears in their eyes, that they
wanted to follow Master. An inmate came up to the Quan Yin messenger
crying, and promised to write to Master, because Master had opened a
ray of hope for her. Then we offered free sample booklets, News Magazines
and copies of "Silent Tears" to the inmates. About the same numbers
of male and female inmates requested to receive the Convenient Method.
Four female penitentiary guards also requested to receive the Convenient
Method, all of whom had shown great sincerity. Before leaving, we shared
vegetarian snacks with the audience members.

Continuing
our journey, we came to the Superior Technological Institute of San
Augustin in the same city and presented a video lecture at the invitation
of the principal of the Institute, who had come to know the Quan Yin
Method through the Internet. The principal was very courteous and extremely
interested in knowing about "The Key of Immediate Enlightenment". The
students and teachers who attended attentively watched Master's video-taped
lecture. After a question and answer session, the principal, being deeply
moved, advised the students to adhere to Master's wise teachings in
order to find the Truth.
On
the following day, through Dr. Luz's arrangement, we contacted the local
mayor and obtained his permission to present a video lecture in the
Abancay City Hall Theater, which several hundred people attended. The
mayor was very pleased with our activity and asked us for more information,
informing us that he was a vegetarian with a great interest in learning
about higher spirituality.
The
ancient Incan culture was rich in spirituality.

After
the lecture, we said good-bye to Apurimac Province and traveled toward
Inca City, Cusco, the capital of the well-known ancient Inca Empire,
which was highly developed in politics, economics and society as well
as spirituality in pre-Columbian times. Upon our arrival, we immediately
boarded a train, and arrived at the city of Machu Picchu after a journey
of six hours. The local residents were gentle and courteous, living
in harmony with each other and nature. After crossing a beautiful jungle
panorama, we arrived at a citadel called "Aguas Calientes", meaning
"Hot Springs". The next evening, we presented a video lecture in the
city hall. After the lecture, several municipal employees requested
to receive the Quan Yin Method and many other audience members requested
to receive the Convenient Method. The event concluded with the applause
of the audience at midnight. The participants were all satisfied and
hoped to know more about Master's teachings.
One
five-year-old local girl, Lita, and her nine-year old friend were so
interested in us that they stayed with us from the preparation period
until the end of the lecture. Lita even anxiously waited at the gate
of our quarters in order to see us again the next day in the early morning.
When we finally said good-bye to the ancient city of Aguas Calientes
and a group of local people saw us off, Lita was among the people in
the crowd.
