Throughout this activity,
the Costa Rican initiates realized that Master was with them
 and is taking care of everyone, everywhere, at all times.
              

To facilitate televised spreading of Master's teachings, fellow initiates in Costa Rica wholeheartedly negotiated with a popular local television station, Channel 42, to broadcast Master's videos. Reporters from the station were very interested in our Center upon hearing that it had accommodated a UFO seminar earlier this year, and that many people had witnessed UFO's above our Center during the seminar. When they were told that Master was the savior of this era, they spontaneously offered to come to the Costa Rican Center to have an interview.

The reporters of the TV station arrived at our Center as scheduled. Among them was Alonso Comes who is very popular in the locality. With Master's boundless blessing, our fellow initiates, although unprepared, responded appropriately and naturally to the various questions from the reporters. After the interview, they photographed Master's paintings including: "The Stone Cave", "A Night View Of Yang-Ming Mountain," and "The Flowers Of The Heart Will Not Wither". All of them gave hearty praise to Master's artistic talents. In addition, they took pictures of Master's Celestial Clothes as well as Her recent large-sized photos.

The whole interview was quick and smooth, and was broadcasted on prime time on Saturday night. In the program, Mr. Comes invited whoever was interested in meditation or Master's teachings to our Center on Sundays to watch videos or learning meditation, which aroused a great sensation.

The following Sunday, our Center received many phone enquiries, which made the whole activity even more successful. Alonso Comes said he would visit our Center again in order to learn more about Master's teachings and to introduce them to more Costa Rican people. Privately, he revealed his liking for vegetarian food. He felt a profound interest in Master's teachings, and took many of Master's News magazines for further reading. Throughout this activity, the Costa Rican initiates realized that Master was with them and is taking care of everyone, everywhere, at all times.

Costa Rica is a devoted Catholic country; so many of the TV stations only broadcast Catholic messages. The interview held and televised by Channel 42 was really a delightful new beginning. Now every Sunday, a lot of people come to our Center to learn the Convenient Method or receive initiation, making it an even more lively place for spiritual practice.

Initiates responsible for kitchen work also take weekly turns cooking delicious vegetarian meals for the guests, who all say that vegetarian food is far more delicious than they had ever imagined. Furthermore, another meditation session has been arranged on Sunday afternoons for those fellow initiates who have to travel a long distance.
