★ A Fruitful Trip
<Brisbane> After the International 4-Day Retreat in Australia, we organized several seminars in northern and central (the Northern Territory and Queensland) Australia. They were held respectively in Gladstone, Rockhampton, Townsville, Cairns, Darwin and Alice Springs. As a result, there were many people who registered to learn the Convenient Method of meditation and for initiation.
God's blessing power had arranged everything for the whole trip. There was always someone to help us in every place we visited, and things were done effortlessly. In Rockhampton, for instance, there was a highly respected Catholic priest, who has known of Master for some time, but has had no chance of obtaining further information. When we visited him, he spared some time for us even though he had a tight schedule, and happily provided us with information about all the local spiritual associations. On the same night, he watched one of Master's videos and read a few Supreme Master Ching Hai News magazines. He also attended our seminar and registered for both the Convenient Method and initiation.
Townsville was where we felt the happiest. This was not because the seminar there attracted the largest number of people, but because most genuinely sought the Truth. Therefore, Master's blessing power was incredible, which greatly delighted the audience. The joy of such a reward is beyond words. A local radio station reporter also arrived in advance to do a live interview with us.
After the seminar, a lady requested to buy a big picture of Master. She even offered to display Master's publications, as well as a place for group meditation in her shop.
Situated in the center of Australia, Alice Springs is an area where a great number of aborigines reside. The aborigines regard the area as highly spiritual. One aborigine told us after the seminar that she was very happy to have been able to attend the seminar. She continued to say that, once she sincerely prayed to God for enlightenment on her spiritual path. God's reply to her prayer was, "Read page 57 of the Bible." As she was given Master's sample booklet and turned to page 57, all the answers to her questions were found on that page. She was really happy and immediately registered to learn the Convenient Method.
We felt very happy about this trip of spreading Master's teachings. Every day we went to a different place, meeting different people and sharing the Truth. Living in Master's inexhaustible blessing power, we felt refreshed and were happily surprised each day. While helping others (which is in fact our obligation), we also helped ourselves to grow on our spiritual path. But more importantly, we understand little by little the greatness of our souls. Thank You, Master, for all the perfect arrangements.
