[Buenos
Aires]
From
November 28 to December 3, 2000, the Buenos Aires Center participated
in the Bio-culture Exhibition, which attracted Ten thousand people thirsting
for a healthy and simple life, in order to uplift themselves from the
hectic pace of modern society.

Initiates
from Buenos Aires, Argentina participate in the Bio-culture Exhibition
to introduce Master's teachings to the people of their country.
|
The
participants provided health foods, organic foods and therapies to replace
standard medicines, as well as spiritual publications. Among them was
a booth by our fellow initiates, freely offering Master's teachings
and information about the Quan Yin Method -- a small effort, but full
of loving vibrations.
During
the five-day Exhibition, many would-be initiates joined in distributing
flyers. People were touched by their sincerity and love of brotherhood.
Master's videos were played continuously, as the whole venue became
full of Her love and all in attendance melted into one. Many attendees
stopped at our booth, saying that they felt they were standing before
a very beautiful spiritual practitioner, for they sensed the magnetic
field spreading out from Master's photographs and video. Some magazine
and newspaper editors came to our booth, one of whom recalled that he
had received our flyer while in New York and expressed interest in Master's
teachings.
A
woman who owned a health food restaurant told us that some of Master's
leaflets had been placed in her restaurant long ago. After reading them,
she completely agreed with Master's teachings, so she happily distributed
the leaflets to her customers. When she learned that we had a booth
at the Exhibition, she came immediately. While watching one of Master's
videos, she expressed her great appreciation for Master, and stayed
for a long time to talk about Master's teachings with fellow initiates.
In
addition, an Indian man who also had a booth at the Exhibition visited
us, saying that he had been a renunciate of the Ananda Marga group (an
Indian spiritual sect) and that he could tell that Master was a very
highly enlightened being. He mentioned that he also followed an enlightened
master and sincerely believed that all enlightened masters are one.
The next day, he brought two friends to the Exhibition and showed them
Master's teachings. All of them took sample booklets and expressed their
gratitude to us. A woman practitioner who practiced Reiki (a Japanese
healing method) came to our booth very excitedly and said that Master
had appeared to her previously. She also asked for information about
the Quan Yin Method. Two other ladies asked for initiation right after
watching Master's video, and were enchanted by Master's wisdom.
One
day before the Exhibition closed, an interviewer and reporter for a
spiritual program on a private TV station came to our booth. He told
us that he was greatly impressed by Master's beauty and hoped that he
could have the opportunity to visit Master personally. On the last day,
the video "We Cannot Have Peace, Until All Are at Peace" was
played, providing a perfect ending to the Exhibition.
Through
this event, not only were Master's teachings conveyed to thousands of
brothers and sisters, but the local initiates learned the spirit of
team work. We came together through the influence of Master's eternal
love.

Argentina
initiates hold a video seminar featuring Master's teachings at
the Yukio Mishima Culture Center in Buenos Aires.
|
On
the Saturday after the Bio-culture Exhibition, we held a video seminar
at the Yukio Mishima Culture Center in Buenos Aires, with the title
"We Are All in One." We attached invitations to the seminar
to flyers and distributed them during the Exhibition. We also distributed
invitations to people around the Culture Center, and placed an advertisement
about the seminar in a local newspaper.
Many
of those who attended the seminar also had visited the Exhibition. They
all watched Master's lecture video very attentively, and after a question
and answer session, many people became very interested in learning the
Convenient Method. At the end of the seminar, we all enjoyed a delicious
vegetarian buffet.
The
chief of the Culture Center willingly offered us the use of the facility
for future seminars. In the year 2001, we will be able to hold monthly
video seminars and vegetarian cooking classes at the Center.
On
the following Sunday, we arranged some time to receive sincere visitors
at the Buenos Aries Center, and the numbers exceeded our expectations.
Some visitors had attended the Bio-culture Exhibition, and some were
from the video lecture. The initiates had to move furniture in order
to accommodate all the guests.

Truth-seekers
visit the Buenos Aires Center and learn the Convenient Method.

While
we presented a video, the guests showed their consent by nodding now
and then. One man, who had come to the Center with his wife and children,
said that his children were very spiritual and had rejected meat since
they were very young. Some initiates then described to them the necessary
preparation for children before they learn meditation.
The
adults who attended that day all applied to learn the Convenient Method.
Some had come from faraway locations, and said that they all would sincerely
help in spreading Master's teachings in their cities.
As
a result of these activities, the fellow initiates of Buenos Aires strongly
felt Master's blessing on their country. Thank you, Master!
