Broadcast of Master's Video Lectures on Rogers Television

         [Toronto] With Master's blessing, besides our normal activities of sharing Master's teachings through video lecture seminars and exhibitions, Toronto initiates now have a way to convey Master's message to a much larger audience via television. Using cable TV and Master's video lectures, we can now reach the three million people who live in the Greater Toronto, Mississauga and Brampton areas.

        In order to broadcast Master's video lectures on television, our organization recently became a member of The Horizon Interfaith Communication Media Council, which consists of people representing diverse religious and spiritual groups. The purpose of the Interfaith Council is to share the time allotted by Rogers Cable Television for Horizon, a community TV series that airs each Sunday morning with programs focusing on various religious pursuits and teachings.

        As a new member of the Horizon Community Program, we have been given the following initial broadcast dates (all on Sundays) for three of Master's video lectures, each 27.5 minutes in length:

ROGERS TELEVISION - CHANNEL 10
May 21 @ 11:00 am EST
June 4 @ 12:00 noon EST
June 18 @ 11:00 am EST

Additional broadcast dates will be announced as soon as we receive approval.

Body, Soul and Spirit Expo

        [Vancouver] Vancouver initiates were delighted to have a booth at the Body, Soul and Spirit Expo, held on March 17th - 19th in Vancouver, British Columbia. We learned a lot and experienced great joy in introducing many people to Master.

        Our booth attracted numerous visitors, including Expo participants from adjoining booths who kept returning to watch the ongoing videotapes of Master that we were showing. One neighbor set up a chair right in front of the video presentation and watched for a long time. The women in the adjoining booth also watched the videotape whenever they had a chance, saying that they found Master's voice to be very soothing. All of the visitors made sure to take home sample booklets and News Magazines, so that they could learn more about Master.

        With the rising acceptance of Eastern treatment methods such as acupuncture, we weren't surprised to see a booth of Chinese acupuncturists at the Expo. Before long, everyone who worked at the acupuncture booth had visited us. They all took Chinese sample booklets and News Magazines for themselves and their families. Later, we saw them sitting in the lobby, intensely reading the materials.

        Ongoing seminars were also held throughout the Expo in a separate room. On Saturday and Sunday, we were scheduled for two one-hour slots. This gave us another opportunity to introduce Master to people attending the Expo. After the seminar, quite a few attendees came up to ask questions. It was very clear that they were interested in learning more about Master. One woman was eager to see more of Master's videos, so she borrowed some. She exchanged these for others a few days later, and then came on Sunday to learn the Convenient Method.

        Throughout the three days of the Expo, we met and connected in love with people from many different walks of life. We also found that people were extremely open to Master's teachings. They could not help but be impressed by Her love, wisdom and beauty. We thank Master for this wonderful opportunity to share Her blessings, and are very eager to take part in any event where we can have the great honor of informing people about Her and the Quan Yin Method.

Captivated by Master's melodious voice, people stop at the Vancouver Center's booth to watch Her videotape and ask questions.
