After fulfilling a beautiful task in the countries of Colombia and Venezuela, we returned to Peru to continue with the distribution of Alternative Living flyers in our own country as well as in another neighboring country - Ecuador. On June 7, Golden Year 3 (2006), we headed north for Guayaquil City, the biggest city and the economic center of Ecuador. After traveling more than 34 hours by bus, our team of initiates started work very early, and during that day we handed out thousands of flyers.

Some people asked us how and with which products they could replace meat, and which ingredients to have on hand for this Alternative Living message we had suggested. After a brief explanation, they understood its importance and the health benefits of the vegetarian diet. We also showed them the Web sites where they could find additional information.

In many vegetarian restaurants we visited, we shared the flyers with the diners and also gave them to the restaurant owners so that they could make them available to more customers. We were filled with gratitude to encounter such total acceptance. In one restaurant we met a man who had been vegetarian for ten years already. He was very interested to learn about the Quan Yin Method. He asked us to contact him for any future video seminars, and to let him know when a Center opened in Ecuador.

The following day, we had a visit from an Ecuadorian in the hotel where we were staying. After he read the sample booklet, he returned the next day to learn the Convenient Method. He told us that reading the sample booklet had opened an important option to him for a better life.

Once we had concluded our work in Guayaquil, initiates headed to Quito, the capital of Ecuador, to continue distributing flyers among main avenues, historical centers, universities and many other areas. In all these places people were very receptive and appreciative. A middle-aged gentleman, upon reading the flyer, remarked that he had been vegetarian for many years, and that he knew of Supreme Master Ching Hai via the Internet as well as through reading some of Her books. He asked us for additional flyers to give to his friends.

Another young lady read the flyer. As she was convinced of the nutritional value of each food listed in the flyer, she asked for more copies to take to the nuns’ institution she attended. Many local people in Quito showed great interest in the Alternative Living message and were eager to learn more about the vegetarian food and the meat substitutes.

On June 17, we concluded the work in Ecuador. All of us felt honored to share the immense love and incomparable humanitarianism of our beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai.
