[Auckland] On February 15, 2004, initiates from the Auckland Center participated in the New Spiritual Festival at Lakeside Convention Center. Through God’s arrangement, the Festival organizer gave the sisters and brothers a larger and better situated booth than the one originally assigned to them.

The Festival ran from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with about fifty groups participating. At the event, several notable spiritual practitioners from New Zealand and other countries delivered talks, and many Westerners interested in spiritual practice attended. In fact, the fair was so popular that many people had to park their cars far away and walk a considerable distance to the venue.

The initiates’ booth was beautifully decorated with an array of Master’s pictures and striking floral arrangements. Also, throughout the Festival, Master’s lecture DVDs were presented, attracting much attention among the attendees, as most stopped to listen to Her marvelous and humorous talks. Among the visitors was a young woman who was so interested in Master’s teachings that she kept watching the lectures until the booth was taken down. From her smiling and contented face, the initiates knew that the woman had really enjoyed Master’s words.

During the event, a large number of sample booklets and flyers containing information about the Convenient form of practice and vegetarian cooking classes were offered to people with affinity, and many recognized Master from Her lecture in New Zealand during the 2000 Ocean of Love Tour, from meetings with Her in various countries, or from video seminars organized by Australian initiates. In addition, numerous guests requested more information about the Quan Yin Method.

After comparing their practice with others presented at the New Spiritual Festival, the initiates reconfirmed that the Quan Yin Method is the easiest and most efficient way to find God. Thus it is clear that those who follow the Quan Yin path, guided by Supreme Master Ching Hai, are the luckiest people in the universe! The fellow initiates are so blessed by God that they just want to say, “Thank You, Master. We all love You.”
