A Lighthouse in the Dark

Light of Love Guides Inmates to a Brighter Path

For more than three years, members of our Association have been conducting spiritual counseling and life skills sessions at the Sindian Drug Abuse Treatment Center by introducing the Quan Yin Method of meditation, teaching the Convenient Method, holding healthy vegetarian cooking classes and English classes for the inmates. Our Association’s work here has received commendation from the officials. Many inmates accepted God with an open and sincere heart and were able to overcome their drug addiction with great determination and perseverance. Here are some of their stories that they shared with us.

During his stay at the Center for drug abuse, Mr. Xie learnt some culinary skills from our vegetarian cooking classes. After he was discharged, he got a job at a vegetarian restaurant where he met Mr. Li, the chef of the restaurant, who was amazed at the inconceivable power of the Quan Yin Method that transformed Mr. Xie into a new person. Mr. Li then approached our fellow initiates to learn more about Master’s teachings. Together he and his wife later decided to switch to a pure vegetarian diet and began practicing the Convenient Method. Now Mrs. Li has received initiation and Mr. Li is planning to join the Quan Yin family as well. They both regard it their greatest blessing to come into contact with the Quan Yin Method and Master.

 

Mr. Zheng was serving his sentence at the treatment center for drug abuse and criminal offence. After attending our spiritual teaching classes and learning the Convenient Method, he has decided to become a pure vegetarian and to meditate every day. He even encourages fellow inmates to become vegetarian and to meditate with him.

Some time after Mr. Lin and Mr. Cao had been attending our spiritual teaching sessions, they were transferred to other prisons. From there they often wrote to ask for more information about preventing global warming with a plant-based diet, and about the Quan Yin Method. They feel deeply that Supreme Master Ching Hai is like a Lighthouse guiding them to higher levels. They are now strong enough to encourage other inmates to also do their part to Be Veg, Go Green, Save the Earth. Their hope is that our Association can extend similar spiritual services to the prisons where they stay, so that God’s Light can shine on more needy friends.

We are very grateful to Master for Her infinite blessings and love for all sentient beings.
