 Starting this year, fellow practitioners in Costa Rica have visited many correctional centers throughout the country to spread Master's teachings and exhibit prints of Her paintings. Master's teachings are widely accepted, and Her paintings have also attracted great interest from many people. This shows that the spiritual level of the people has elevated.
During the visit to a prison in Cartago Province, a young inmate was assigned to monitor the television and video recorder. He incidentally got a copy of Master's sample booklet several months ago, and had been reading it everyday. Looking at Master's photo on the cover, he longed to hear the sound of Her voice. When the video of Master's lecture was being shown, he was overwhelmed with joy, and watched with total concentration. When the video seminar was over, many requested to learn the Convenient Method. Inmates who attended were very friendly, and many of them even volunteered to help fellow practitioners hang up the prints of Master's paintings. They felt very close to Her.
The day fellow practitioners visited the Heredia Prison happened to be visiting day for relatives of the prisoners. Intrigued by Master's prints displayed by the fellow practitioners, inmates and their relatives talked about Her beauty and exceptional artistic talent. A child even requested for a copy of the Key of Immediate Enlightenment sample booklet, and asked his father to read it to him. This correctional center has established a small group to study Master's teachings, and practice the Convenient Method.
Fellow practitioners also visited the San Ramon Correctional Center, where Master's works of art were applauded by the inmates. The omnipresent and merciful light blessed each corner of the prison. People in the correctional center greatly admired the use of color in Master's prints, and many of them were mesmerized by the "Stone Cave" -- they could feel the light radiating from it. The inmates hoped that they could, like Master, get enlightenment through pursuing spiritual practice to develop their many talents.
Blessed by Master's holy love, the inmates were once more filled with hope; the longing for happiness and life again appeared on their faces.
