Report From Paraguay

◆ Gospel of Nectar Nourishes Withering Souls

It had not rained for six months in Paraguay. Air pollution had become a very serious problem. Schools even closed as a result. Master's teachings brought nectar to Paraguay. It started to rain the night the Truth-spreading group arrived in Pedro Juan. In fact, it poured. The air was cleansed and the dryness disappeared immediately.

An initiate-to-be in Pedro Juan, waiting for initiation, was very sincere in keeping the vegetarian diet and purify herself. Not only does she see Master's manifestation body often, but also has started to write poetry. On the day of her initiation, she saw Jesus Christ appear brilliantly.

The video-lecture seminar attracted many Chinese immigrants. They liked Master's teachings very much. Many started keeping the vegetarian diet and practicing the Convenient Method.

East City is the world's second largest trade city. Too many material pursuits have deprived the spiritual aspect of the people's lives. The practitioners of the Convenient Method have been busy promoting the video-lecture seminar in the city. In trying to rent a venue for the event, the manager found out that it was for such a meaningful purpose, so he said, "If you charge nothing, we charge nothing too." Despite the fact that he had already rented the place to others, he gave it to us.

Soon, on the streets of East City, one could hear the good news about Supreme Master Ching Hai's upcoming video-lecture seminar. One of the owners of the cars announcing the seminar was highly moved by Master's teachings. With a loud speaker, he added his own words to the public announcement. He spoke with sincerity to appeal to his countrymen to attend the seminar. His son, who often worked with the fellow practitioners, later learned the Convenient Method.

The manager of Journal Today (HOY) in East City was very impressed with Master's teachings. She placed the news of the upcoming video-lecture seminar in the most prominent place in the paper. She also added an article about Master and the seminar to the religion section of the paper. Later she also became a vegetarian and learned the Convenient Method. When she saw the light, she shouted with great excitement, "The inner light is intense - so bright!"

On the day of Master's video-lecture seminar, East City was bathed in rain of nectar. Mr. Villalba Romualdo, a reporter from a national broadcasting station, was driving an open Jeep on his way to the lecture hall. He had to drive off the road several times in order to take cover from the rain. He enthusiastically told the audience what a great enlightened Master Supreme Master Ching Hai was. He also became an initiate-to-be. The video-lecture seminar smoothly delivered the Convenient Method to those who have been earnestly seeking the Truth. Committed to a complete vegetarian diet, they are now awaiting initiation.

The news of the seminar spread to the capital Asuncion by newspapers. Many came to ask for a seminar to be held in the capital city. One of the sister initiates-to-be had practiced other methods before without having any great inner experiences. While practicing the Convenient Method, she saw very bright light, which prompted her to commit to a total vegetarian diet and ask for full initiation. She followed the Truth-spreading group to Asuncion and introduced Master's teachings and the Quan Yin Method to her former spiritual teacher. Her teacher finished reading the sample booklet without taking a break and was deeply touched. She invited many people interested in spiritual practice to come to watch Master's video tapes.

The people of Paraguay are earnest, pure and simple. They are glad to share the good news of the Quan Yin Method with their countrymen. They are like torch bearers, they happily brighten themselves and their whole country with the light of God.

The manager of Journal Today (HOY) in East City, Paraguay, volunteered to publish the news of Master's Truth-spreading activities in the most prominent section of the paper, placing an additional article in the religion section.
