Will this become a historic picture of the local MacDonald's? Let us hope that MacDonaldis will serve vegetarian hamburgers in the future!

Some time ago at the Florida Center, we had a wonderful time with Master. She enlightened us about our shortcomings as well as other interesting matters that we often overlook in our daily lives. As we worked to develop the small island in the middle of the Center's lake into farmland, She helped us understand that our job could be accomplished easily and smoothly if we considered environmental factors in our project. From this incident, we learned to greatly cherish all the resources and food bestowed on us by God.
When Master finds time to eat amidst Her hectic schedule, She always invites us to enjoy the time with Her.

On Master's instructions, we cleaned up some of the old houses at the Center and worked to beautify the environment. We even rebuilt an old stable by the pine grove into an ideal place for recreation and tea-drinking. Sometimes Master shared jokes, barbecued, and sang songs with us.

We all laughed with childlike freedom as if we could continue all night, which we usually did by watching movies! Afterwards Master sometimes explained the spiritual morals within the movies that added more profound meaning to somewhat ordinary stories.

Later Master explained to us that Her true nature is just like this, by which She meant, always happy, humorous, child-like, free-spirited and having fun. Master also told us that it is not always necessary for Her to teach us through lectures; the true teaching can also be transmitted merely through Her physical presence among us, and a relaxed and joyful atmosphere is sufficient for Master to work invisibly, blessing each one of us.

During this time, a number of incredible incidents occurred. As hurricanes headed toward Florida one after another, television newscasts reported that highways were becoming congested with cars carrying people fleeing the area; gas stations had run out of gas; and stores and supermarkets had closed early because their shelves had become empty. Incredibly, though, nothing happened! The weather remained calm and peaceful. The strong hurricanes had changed course and disappeared into the ocean. This was especially strange, since there were no topographical obstructions in Florida to divert such strong hurricanes from their predicted course. We had to thank God and cherish Hiers grace and remind each other not to engage in aquacultural operations or other industries that involve killing, since the exploitation of resources and underground water by the aquaculture industry causes many serious problems, such as land subsidence, where houses cave in, and earthquakes caused by movements of the earth's crust and fissures. One might conclude that vegetarianism is indeed beneficial to the world!
