        Report 
          from Nepal Peaceful 
        and Pleasant 
          
        Retreats 
        in Nepal    
          [Kathmandu] 
          As Supreme Master Ching Hai stepped into Nepal 
          on May 1, 2000, Her holy presence seemed to overcome the entire country 
          with the highest degree of spiritual love, peace, and happiness. 
 
  The 
          distribution of sample booklets before the lecture helped to open the 
          inner eye of most of the people. It was surprising to see how, by reading 
          the sample booklet, so many immediately experienced a very positive 
          change in their thinking about becoming pure vegetarians. More than 
          600 people are received initiation that day, and well over 600 learned 
          the Convenient Method. Although it was Her first visit to Nepal, many 
          audience members easily recognized our Holy Master and Her selfless 
          teaching of love and salvation. 
 
  Many 
          new initiates and Convenient Method practitioners are now coming regularly 
          for group meditation at the Kathmandu Center, and new people are learning 
          the Convenient Method. Recently, everyone in our Center agreed that 
          we should hold retreats, and so we organized two one-day retreats for 
          the 26th of August and the 2nd of September 2000. The atmosphere was 
          full of peace and pleasant waves of heavenly happiness. Some initiates 
          had very good experiences and they suggested having more retreats in 
          the future.      |  |
