The fellow initiates at the Seoul Center in Korea were longing for spiritual growth, so a very special silent retreat was held. Master has reminded us that it is easy to waste energy if we chat with others after meditation. Therefore, the outstanding feature of this special retreat was to keep silent. It helps us keep our energy and be focused to find the perfect quality within.

　The retreat proceeded in good order. Every fellow initiate cherished this hard-to-get group meditation opportunity by shortening their resting period to increase their meditation time. Everyone felt invigorated spiritually and the meditation hall became filled with a peaceful atmosphere, just like in heaven.

　During the resting period, all the fellow initiates grouped together to do some exercises and stretch their bodies. The Quan Yin messenger taught us some Tai-Chi moves. Everyone melted into the harmoniously joyous and relaxed atmosphere.

　After a two-day silent retreat, the fellow initiates' faces beamed with the light of purity and everyone smiled with satisfaction. This wonderful silent retreat was truly unforgettable that, as we return to our regular lives, we carry it with us to serve the world and spread Master's love and true teachings.
