Visiting Inmates in Prison

[ San Jose] With the idea of sharing Master's love and wisdom with prison inmates and bringing them peace and comfort, fellow practitioners and Quan Yin messengers visited a small local prison one Saturday morning in late July. In addition to spiritual teaching materials by Master, we had also prepared some delicious vegetarian food to be shared with everyone. Materially, we offered blankets and bedclothes to the prison, plus twelve boxes of clothing to the inmates.

The activities include a chess contest.

For the day's activity, we prepared a presentation of Master's videotapes, a question and answer session, a refreshment period, and a chess contest. After watching the videotapes, the inmates were very interested and enthusiastically brought up many questions about practicing the Convenient Method, the nature of an enlightened Master, the Holy Trinity, etc. One of the inmates was about to be released, and he sincerely copied down the contact information for the local Center, because he wanted to practice the Quan Yin Method and learn Master's teachings after his release. The atmosphere in the prison was very cordial and friendly, with everyone suddenly becoming very lovely like an innocent child.

The inmates' sincerity and purity shone through their yearning eyes. More than half of the audience members requested to learn the Convenient Method. Even when we had proceeded to the chess contest and refreshment serving according the timetable, many of them still preferred asking questions and requesting the Convenient Method. Everyone was very happy, and the fellow practitioners who participated were touched by the joyous atmosphere. Because of the gladness, the hours passed so quickly that no one realized it when the time to say goodbye had arrived.
