Be A Good Guest On Earth

On a beautiful spring day in Arizona, fellow initiates participated in the annual outdoor Earth Day Celebration. An azure sky and clear, warm weather made a perfect setting for a pleasant exhibition. Fellow initiates displayed Master's sample booklets, magazines, books, cassette and videotapes. Also, Master's videos were played on. Delicious vegetarian food was catered by Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association Vegetarian House of Phoenix. Supreme Master Ching Hai's teachings include our responsibility to protect the planet on which we live, and vegetarianism is the first and most important step in this direction.

A steady stream of people came. Many revisited the booth two or three times, expressing deep interest in Master's teachings and the Quan Yin Method. Several English-speaking people recognized Her from cable television. They had all watched an entire show of Master, speaking sometimes in Chinese and sometimes in the Au Lac language! They were still exhilarated by it. Language does not seem to be a barrier when it comes to the Truth.

Master's love, beauty and the Truth She spoke touched many people that day. Many people from different walks of life were interested in learning how to meditate.

In the sunshine city of Phoenix, news about Supreme Master Ching Hai is welcomed.

Through this activity, the spreading of Master's teachings, every fellow initiate has learned that Her arrangements are always admirable and amazing, enabling us to realize what our noble purpose in this world comes practical experiences in life. Master's great blessing and love have been planted in this vast land, where many spiritual seekers have received God's grace and have had contact with God's marvellous network in the universe, experiencing a higher level of life.

She Came In A Dream, To Guide The One With Affinity

A number of fellow initiates from Oregon assist and supply ten or so Cable TV Channels in their local area with videos of Supreme Master Ching Hai's teachings, as well as shared the work with other states across America. This provides more people with the opportunity to know about Master's teachings. To some of them, seeing Master on TV reminded them of past experiences.

One lady shared her experience with fellow initiates in Oregon. She told them that she always wanted a female spiritual teacher, so she would pray to God to send her a female teacher. A few years ago, she had a dream. In her dream, she went to a dance club. When she went in, she saw a beautiful oriental lady standing as if she was waiting for someone. This beautiful lady asked her in a very pleasant, melodious voice, whether she would like to dance with her. She was a little embarrassed at first, to be invited by a lady. But this beautiful lady told her not to worry, and they started to dance. During the dance, this beautiful lady let her experience a level of consciousness that she had never known before.

After she woke up, the dream was still very vivid. It reminded her of a painting that she had done when she was younger, of an oriental lady, whose face looked very much like the beauty who appeared in her dream. She was amazed. Two weeks after she had the dream, she saw an ad in a local newspaper about Supreme Master Ching Hai coming to give a lecture in Portland, Oregon. She didn't pay much attention at first, but when she saw Master's picture, she recognized Her as the beautiful lady in her dream.

She went to Her lecture, and Master had the same pleasant and melodious voice the beautiful lady had during her dream! For some reason, she missed initiation that night. Since seeing Master again on Cable TV, she has signed up for the Convenient Method.

This is just one example of how Master takes care of us even without our being aware of it. As more people learn about Her teachings, many of them become interested. The Oregon center has received more requests to learn the Convenient Method of meditation, as well as for initiation.

The Asian-Pacific American Heritage Festival

The Asian-Pacific American Heritage Council in Washington D.C. organized a festival to share their multi-cultural tradition. The participating groups were from at least seven countries, including Formosa, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Laos, India and the Philippines. The different groups showed the special cultural characteristics of their national traditions through singing, dancing, Kong Fu demonstrations, music played on traditional instruments, national costumes, etc.

Virginia fellow initiates also took part in this event by distributing Master's love to the Washingtonians via sample booklets, News magazines, pictures, audio and videotapes to the people with affinity.

Many people stopped by our display booth to look, read, and ask about the Quan Yin Method. They were very surprised to learn that such a great method exists which could greatly enhance people in their spiritual growth.

Many of the visitors were sincerely curious about our banner: "Quan Yin Method, Immediate Enlightenment and Liberation." Some of them conversed deeply with our fellow initiates for hours, exchanging ideas about spiritual practice. Their sincerity was easy for all to see!

A couple of five or six year old children seemed to recognize Master when they saw Her photos on the covers of the magazines. They took many magazines with Master's photos on them and came back many times. Their actions were so lovely!

After the visitors had taken sample booklets and magazines, and had learned more about spiritual practice, they had such nice smiles on their faces, all because of Master's love and blessings.

A happy day in Washington D.C. - both performers and spectators are attracted by Supreme Master Ching Hai's publications, and are reluctant to leave!
