[Perth] On
November 11, 2001, the Perth Center held a video seminar to help spread
Master's teachings throughout the city.
In
preparation for the event, flyers were distributed during a recent spiritual
expo in which the Center participated. Also, local radio stations in
Perth announced the event through a service called the "Community
Switchboard," whereby non-profit organizations may freely advertise
activities to be held in the community. We were also given free advertising
space in all of the community newspapers in the metropolitan area. It
seemed that as soon as a decision was made to hold a video seminar,
invisible wheels were set in motion, and all of the above preparations
were carried out incredibly smoothly and in a short time. This surely
illustrates that when we work with one mind and are free from resistance
by the ego, Master's power can operate unhindered, and everything turns
out perfectly.
The
seminar began at 10:30 AM, and a two-minute silence was observed (half
an hour early*) in a prayer for world peace. This was followed by Master's
video entitled "Be a Torchbearer for God." Everyone seemed
to sit entranced for the entire length of the video - including the
question-and-answer period. Master must have answered all the questions
in the minds of the audience, as no one had any questions after the
video presentation, even though we had a panel of brothers and sisters
ready to answer them. Many decided to learn the Convenient Method, and
others were eager to learn the Quan Yin Method.
The
Perth Center is very small, but now with Master's loving, guiding hand,
we hope to blossom and grow as we look forward with spirits soaring
to our next seminar to spread the Truth.
*Two
minutes of silence: In 1918, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the
11th month, the order was given to end the fighting in World War I.
Ever since, English-speaking countries have marked this moment with
two minutes of silence to remember the dead and pray for world peace.
