Every beam and pole of the colorful and bright Nantou Center comes from Master's holy love and blessing.

It's been more than a year since the commencement of the Nantou Center construction. From the choosing of the location to the actual construction, our fellow initiates have been making every effort to build their own group meditation center. Now the construction is close to completion. Seeing the fruit of their perseverance, fellow initiates have satisfied smiles on their faces, because they realize what is meant by the Biblical saying "Whoever sows in tears shall reap in joy." In retrospect, they have turned a once barren piece of land on the hillside into a Shangri-La. Every brick and sapling came from the selfless devotion of everyone involved. It also demonstrated the inconceivable magical power of the Quan Yin Method, which turned a group of unskilled people, who could not even use their tools properly, into real specialists.

A serene environment along with the cuisine of love is an enjoyment found only in heaven.

What is more important, however, is that everyone in the process of working found their own "hard rocks" deep inside -- the ego. They dug them out, discarded them, paved the land with fertile spiritual soil and then planted beautiful flowers of wisdom. As the construction developed, their inner wisdom grew stronger.

Thanks to Master, everything has been so tactfully arranged and taken care of. Without the guidance of Her wisdom and the baptism of the inner vibrations, these "rocks" would have been buried deep in our minds' forever, hindering our spiritual practice without us ever noticing them.

Heartwarming traditions have been ongoing ever since the Nantou Center was established, making everyone feel at home. What most people look forward to are the monthly major group meditation at the Center. In addition to the morning fresh air, the chirping birds, the fragrant flowers and joyful samadhi, there is always the lunch feast, which is fervently expected by the "big" and small kids alike.

Sisters in the kitchen leave no talents unexplored. Their love, skill and artistic designs give every dish unequaled color, taste and aroma. The desserts and other delicious dishes, like the "Flying Buddha" or the "Vegetarian Chicken Sticks," amid the beauty of well-laid tables and bright sunshine, are no longer just morsels for the mouth, but supra-worldly enjoyments for the heart as well. Looking down the hill at the hustle and bustle of the world, a sister was inspired to write, "Here in heaven we savor the cuisine, down on earth we belittle the bustle."

How fortunate we have been to meet an enlightened Master, to practice the supreme method, and live a serene and meaningful life ever after. Thank you, Master, for leading us in building this paradise on earth, and for giving us the blessing to perceive this celestial Truth, goodness and beauty. We believe this is just a beginning. From now on, we will try to apply our wisdom to daily life as much as we can, and spread the message of the Quan Yin Method to the ones with affinity. Let's make a paradise of the earth and spend every second of our lives in heavenly delight.
