Master Takes Care of All Yearning Souls

For the past three years, Oregon Center initiates have been conducting monthly seminars featuring Master's videos at the Clackamas County Jail in Portland, and during this time they have witnessed how the Master power works subtly but effectively on the inmates.

On one of their first visits to the facility, the initiates donated Master's News magazines and several copies of Her book I Have Come to Take You Home to the Jail's library so that the inmates could learn about Master's teachings. Then on June 8, 2005, the Oregon Center received a letter from three inmates who had read Master's book. (See photo below) In their letter they stated, "We recently decided to begin studying the Quan Yin Method and respectfully request any literature and study materials as well as teaching texts that may be available to persons such as us with no financial means at our disposal." 

Before the next monthly video seminar, the initiates promptly forwarded the letter to the Jail's officials in hopes that these inmates would be allowed to attend. The officials wrote a follow-up letter saying that the men could not be present at the seminar due to their maximum security status.

Then on June 11, when the sisters and brothers arrived at the prison to conduct the seminar, twenty inmates were in the video room, including one of those who had written the letter. The practitioners thus prayed to Master and earnestly pleaded with the guard on duty to give the other two inmates a chance to be there since the following month they could be transferred to another facility and so become difficult to find. Finally, the guard succumbed to the initiates' pleas and let the men in.

Upon seeing the video room and seminar set-up, the three prisoners were very surprised because they had been unaware of the monthly video seminars due to their inability to mingle with other prisoners and participate in such activities under their maximum security status. When the initiates explained that they had been permitted to attend because of their letter, the men were deeply touched by the efforts made to help them learn more about Master's teachings and the Convenient Method.

During the lecture DVD presentation a technical problem occurred causing only the audio function to work. This was the first time such a difficulty had arisen, but the inmates were nonetheless very attentive, and afterwards all stayed to learn the Convenient Method!

After learning the CM, the three men who wrote the letter were deeply grateful that Master had helped them understand why they should become vegetarians. Another inmate also expressed his gratitude to Her for allowing him to grasp this message, and vowed not to seek vengeance on others after his release. 

Through such experiences at the Clackamas County Jail seminars, the Oregon practitioners have come to realize that Master takes care of all yearning souls, even those in seemingly impossible circumstances, and that we who are unimprisoned and saturated with Her divine love should not take Her blessings for granted but instead cherish Her gifts even more dearly.
