A
videotape lecture entitled "He Who Has Realized God And The Messiah Of God,"
that Supreme Master Ching Hai delivered in Costa Rica in 1991, was shown to
the Panamanian public on Sunday. The presentation was held at the Jose Dolores
Moscote Auditorium at the University of Panama.
The
fellow practitioners in charge of planning this event were able to confirm
that whenever love guides us in our work to convey to others Master's teachings,
we acquire great strength. We can work for hours on end and yet be overflowing
with energy.
We
had to print the materials as soon as possible for distribution, and it usually
required a minimum of one whole week. Since the time was quickly approaching,
we decided to photocopy the pamphlets but were not successful since Master's
photograph came out much too blurry. We were advised to try a printer specializing
in this type of printing.
We
were assisted by the owner who immediately recognized Master because he had
already read the sample booklet a friend of his had given him. Thus, he told
us he would copy the photo by printing it; and the job would be finished the
following day. We were truly grateful for everything being arranged in such
a special way.
Actually,
by the next day we were already distributing the pamphlets. One of the fellow
practitioners told us that while he was distributing the sample booklets,
he placed one in his shirt pocket and every single person who passed him would
stare at Master's photograph sticking out of his pocket. No one could pass
by Her inadvertently. He was extremely happy to be able to show Master's photograph
to everyone crossing his path.
When
the video-lecture was over, the Quan Yin messenger responded to the many questions
raised by the public. At the end, many people requested to learn the Convenient
Method as well as to receive initiation into the Quan Yin Method of meditation.
Many people came from places quite distant from Panama City. Among them were
two young girls from Colon. One of them said that she had been praying and
reading the Bible for three consecutive days, asking God to guide her, to
protect her, to keep her safe from any temptations, and to grant her a lot
of love. To her surprise, she unexpectedly received a pamphlet about the video-lecture
and she felt moved in her heart; so she came with a friend. After having visited
the Center, they are now anxious to learn the Convenient Method, and later
the Quan Yin Method. They have already started the vegetarian diet.
During
the days following the presentation, many phone calls came from people who
were not able to attend but who wished to learn more about Master's teachings.
Among them, a gentleman telephoned from the city of Chitre, about four hours
drive from the capital. He said that even though he had not been able to attend
the video-lecture, after having read the advertisement in the newspaper and
seen Master's name he felt She was a true and great Master; and despite not
knowing Her teachings, he is positive these are of a very high level. He was
keen for us to present a video-lecture in Chitre City, offering himself to
arrange all the necessary details, including paying the rent for the venue.
In
this type of activity, Quan Yin practitioners have the opportunity to share
pleasant moments together, as well as achieve their sincere wish to spread
Master's teachings to all their fellow countrymen.
