I was born in Colombia, and during my teenage years moved to Venezuela. After being initiated in London in 1999, I naturally wished to introduce Master's teachings to the Colombian and Venezuelan people, with whom I have a great affinity. So, when I heard that a Quan Yin messenger was coming to visit Colombia and Venezuela to conduct video seminars, my heart overflowed with joy.

The video seminar at Pedagogica University.

Two weeks before the messenger arrived, I went to the Colombian capital Bogota to prepare for the events. My wish was to have the seminars held at local universities, and I later learned that the messenger shared my desire. Luckily, one day at a restaurant I met a professor, who offered us his assistance and played a DVD introducing Master to some of his students at Bogota's Pedagogica University. Then the professor introduced me to another person, through whom I met some university administrators. One of them, Maria Eugenia, was moved to tears while watching a brief DVD introducing Master , and afterwards wholeheartedly helped us to arrange the seminar. Besides assisting us in finding a printing company to print promotional leaflets, she also e-mailed news of the event to her friends, arrived early on the scheduled day to help with the preparations, and afterwards learned the Convenient Method.

Also, one day in Maria's office, a man entered to greet us and seemed very interested in our seminar. At that moment, the Quan Yin messenger took out a computer file containing promotional data, hoping that Maria could send it to other people through e-mail. But the file was too large so the man immediately offered his help and downsized the file. Only then did we learn that he was a computer expert, appearing at the appropriate time to help us. There were numerous other minor episodes similar to this one, testifying to the fact that the Master power was helping us at all times and in all places. Later this gentleman also attended the seminar with his wife and learned the Convenient Method.

The seminar at the Pedagogica University was beautiful, and nearly everyone in attendance learned the Convenient Method. Many also decided to begin following a full vegetarian diet in order to later receive initiation into the Quan Yin Method.

A short while afterwards, I became acquainted with a professor named Arturo Grueso at a vegetarian restaurant. With his help, we made contact with Professor Jimmy Sotomayor of INNCA University. I learned that Professor Sotomayor's daughter was very ill, and he was going through great much stress so I decided to give him Master's sample booklet and asked him to put it next to his daughter on her hospital bed. Before we began making arrangements for the seminar, the little girl was back home and of course he was more relaxed. I know it was Master's invisible love that took care of her.

Several guests stay behind to learn the Convenient Method after the video-seminar at INNCA University.

After watching a brief introduction to Master on a DVD, Professor Sotomayor happily expressed a great desire to help us. So we organized a second seminar at INNCA University. Those who attended the seminar included young students, professors and a nun. There were also many people from outside the university. Everyone watched Master's lecture with wholehearted attention, and the majority, including the nun, later stayed to learn the Convenient Method.

The Professor greatly admired Chinese culture, wearing his hair in a small braid in the style of the Ching Dynasty (1644-1911), and studying Chinese seriously. He told us that he liked Master very much though he did not know why. The day after the seminar, we paid him a visit at the university, and he gave us a paperweight marked with the university emblem as a souvenir. Through him we contributed US$200 (equal to approximately 500,000 Colombian pesos) from Brazilian fellow practitioners to the Fundacion Infantil Alegria Fe y Esperanza (FINAFES), an organization dedicated to the cause of homeless children left without parents due to a guerilla conflict in the country. Of this sum, 300,000 pesos were designated for rent payments, and the rest for food. When we arrived at the University with the contribution, we learned that the children there had had no food for two weeks, and so the person in charge said thankfully, "My children will have lunch in the days to come!" Professor Sotomayor was moved to tears.

Later we sent the Professor a Chinese macrame (knotted handicraft) bearing one of Master's aphorisms, as well as a copy of Master's Buddha's Chanting tape, which he joyfully accepted. His wife hung the Chinese macram?in their living room, and played the tape daily. Even their little daughter learned to chant along with Master while the tape was playing. Later the couple learned the Convenient Method.

Many guests request spiritual information at the Bookstall outside the seminar hall at University National.

The third Seminar was held at University National, the largest and most prestigious university in Colombia. Professor Marta, head of the University's medical school, had attended our first seminar at the Pedagogica University with her mother. Afterwards, she happily agreed to make arrangements for the next seminar at the University National. The response from the third seminar was as enthusiastic as those from the first two, with many guests learning the Convenient Method.

With Master's blessings, we held three seminars to share Her teachings in Colombia within a period of two weeks, and I feel strongly that God's mercy is flowing into Colombia. We know that Master is showering Her love through rainfall in the area as well. Master once said, "I love rain. So whenever it rains, remember me. The rain is like blessing from Heaven. The rain is like the connection, the message, from Heaven to earth." When the seminars were concluded and we left for Venezuela, it rained for a whole week in Colombia, as Master cleansed the region with Her endless flow of love. Through the quiet influence of Her teachings, my homeland is truly undergoing a change. I know the process will be slow but we have the guidance and help of a living Master so everything should go smoothly. Thank you, Master, for Your infinite love and mercy. ... Next page
