Many in Mexico Appreciate the Message

of Alternative Living

Combined report from Mexico Centers (Originally in Spanish)

It was with great joy that initiates throughout Mexico read the information from our beloved Master, that we should try to help protect the animal kingdom and lead a compassionate life. Since then, our initiates from the Centers within Mexico have had the opportunity to travel to its different states to distribute Alternative Living flyers. >From this experience, we have come to understand in our hearts that Master’s love toward all living beings has no boundaries.

Texcoco

A brother-initiate who is also a school teacher distributed Alternative Living flyers to the students at the COBAEM Chimalhuacan (similar to a high school) in Texcoco. People there received the flyers with enthusiasm after he briefly explained the benefits of vegetarianism. Teachers and students alike showed interest and requested vegetarian recipes, commenting that their relatives who were experiencing health problems would also be interested.

The school teachers acknowledged the positive message about nutrition and agreed to begin teaching vegetarian cooking lessons for students and their families. We hope that in the near future with Master’s blessings more schools around us will also accept this understanding and will adopt a more noble way of life.

From the Mexico City Center we traveled to the city of Pachuca, capital of the state of Hidalgo, where we joined other initiates in distributing Alternative Living flyers to the local people, who showed surprise and joy to obtain such information. Some expressed interest in becoming vegetarian. They asked many questions and requested the addresses of the meditation Centers.

In the city of Guadalajara we were met by a fellow initiate who provided us with all his support and hospitality. Delivering the flyers, we encountered many people with very good dispositions who offered positive comments, telling us that it was good that there are people who care about animals and nature. The reaction of the children especially caught our attention. They responded with excitement, running toward us and asking for the handouts, which they read attentively. Some even asked for more flyers to take to their schoolmates.

Next, we traveled to Tepoztlan, a prehispanic ceremonial center of immense beauty that is now a popular tourist area, and to Cuernavaca, in the state of Morelos. That day was truly festive due to the animated crowds and innumerable artisans displaying their works. Many people expressed interest in the vegetarian diet and meditation, and they said they would like to visit our Centers.

Between trips, flyers were distributed in Mexico City. These were welcomed by the students of several high schools and yoga centers, whose members demonstrated true concern for animals.

Guanajuato

Guanajuato is an historical and cultural city. In certain cities permission is required for handing out flyers in the streets. This is the case in Guanajuato, and during the distribution a policeman approached us asking if we had authorization. A fellow initiate explained to him the purpose of distributing the information of Alternative Living, and when the officer read the flyer he allowed us to continue our work freely. Other policemen we encountered also did not interrogate us further. Rather, they smiled at us and in some cases asked questions related to vegetarianism.

Michoacan Morelia

Morelia is characterized as a tourist and student center. The biggest attraction has always been its majestic and historic city center, the second largest in the country and recognized as a world heritage center by UNESCO since 1991.

We decided to distribute the flyers in the city center and in the zoo. Many people happily accepted the flyer. One gentleman asked us what it was about. At first he did not understand, but after we explained he finally realized the message of vegetarianism and compassion and requested more flyers to give to his friends and neighbors.

We distributed flyers in English as well, and a tourist asked us where he could find more information. We pointed out our web pages that were mentioned in the flyer, so he understood and left us feeling grateful.

Xalapa

Recently, initiates from Xalapa distributed many Alternative Living flyers to all the people God put in front of them. Along with the flyer, we also gave a friendly smile and said, "Have a nice day," giving the people a cheerful feeling. We all felt the immense love from our great Master, knowing that this is an opportunity to share Her love with sentient beings and expand the saintly teachings into the masses.

Being that Xalapa is a point of interest to international students and visitors, flyers with both English and Spanish languages were distributed, in an effort to offer good service to those longing souls who came from faraway places by God’s arrangement. Many of the people who received this valuable information expressed interest in knowing more about how to live a more saintly life, asking questions about vegetarian restaurants and sources of information.

San Luis Potosi

San Luis Potosi state is located in northern Mexico. It was a very pleasant surprise to see that when distributing the flyers no one threw them away, and all recipients were very kind. We realized that these flyers were quite special, shining with Master’s blessing and loving power. Some establishments allowed us to post the flyers on their doors and walls with a smile, no doubt because of our beautiful Master’s great force in this whole noble movement.

Also during this project, we learned that we still have some old ideas about how a job should be done. Master showed us again that doing a noble job always attracts miracles.

The whole distributing experience verified to us that we should always think and believe in the power of God. In this way, we can overcome all obstacles. Even the hard one becomes soft through the simple touch of one beautiful flyer as this one. And everywhere we went we encountered beautiful people to help us all the way. Our brothers and sisters keep a good attitude towards this long-term project, hoping to learn how to be more useful to the world, and we are thankful to Master because of this appreciated opportunity to share the love for our dear friends, the animals.
