Remember Master's Grace
And Spread Her Love

"I
am happy here, I am happy there, I am happy everywhere...Why be sad? Sadness
is not good for anything..." The words of this song will reverberate forever
in the hearts of Jakarta fellow initiates.
To express our sincere love for Master, after the group
meditation on Saturday (the day before Mother's Day), fellow initiates
gathered to pray that Master would stay in good health to take this flock
of 'lost lambs' back Home. Later, everyone sang "Happy Birthday" and "I
am Happy Everywhere" with great emotion and bliss, and all felt Master's
all pervading blessing.
Early on Mother's Day morning, fellow initiates went to
a nursing home to visit the elderly residents bringing with them Master's
infinite love. Gifts and Master's sample booklets were distributed while
singing joyful songs. There was much happiness in the eyes of the residents,
as some sang and danced with us, or even asked to join us in prayer. Master's
loving blessings pervaded the whole venue. Some old folks couldn't help
shedding tears of joy, and said that they were extremely happy.
Observing their happiness, we were also very happy. It
was a great honor to have this opportunity to take care of our brothers
and sisters. This visit to the home for the elderly was a good lesson
for us to learn how to love others. It also served to remind us to always
find ways to develop our compassion and to be ever humble. Every person
is God, so taking care of them is taking care of God. We also realized
that love is not only to be kept in one's heart or just verbalized, it
is to be put into action. Through this love in action activity, we deeply
understand that on the long journey of spiritual cultivation, love is
one of the prime incentives to keep us moving forward.
