Spreading The Truth In San Pedro Sula

During the seminar in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, locals for the first time come in contact with the teachings of the Truth.

While viewing Master's videotaped lecture, the seed of spiritual practice sprouts in the hearts of the benign people of Honduras.

<San Pedro Sula> San Pedro Sula is the second largest city in Honduras. In order to let the local people know about Master and the Quan Yin Method, a Quan Yin messenger and fellow practitioners specifically went there to organize a video-lecture seminar. Before the seminar, we visited several newspapers. We also distributed many leaflets to people on the streets. As the local people are very friendly, and together with Master's blessing of love, everyone was particularly courageous. There were no feelings of strangeness or fear, even though it was our first time in this country.

A few days before the seminar, several newspapers advertised the event free of charge. Many people made phone inquiries. On the day of the seminar, Master's teachings touched the hearts of many people who were seeking the Truth. Many applied to learn the Convenient Method of meditation and gained more correct concepts towards vegetarianism. Reporters from Diario El Tiempo and El Nuevo Dia also came to cover the event.

The sincere, enthusiastic support expressed by some visitors gave us a particularly warm feeling. Some visitors came from groups that attempted to make contact with extraterrestrials. After viewing Master's video, they took it back to their group for other members to see. They also applied to learn the Convenient Method of meditation.

Incidentally, we contacted Miss Farah Robles, the producer and chairperson of a morning television program broadcasted on channel eleven. She had read about Master in the newspaper. After discovering that the Quan Yin messenger could speak Spanish, she invited the messenger to the station for an interview. During the interview, she aired excerpts of the World Spiritual Leadership Award Ceremony in Chicago where Master was honored, Master's lectures and the fashion shows. Both Miss Farah Robles and Mr. Eduardo Coto, the other chairperson, liked Master's teachings very much.

After the interview, they both felt happy and full of the bliss. On inquiring more about Master's teachings, everyone understood more clearly about the importance of keeping the five precepts and being vegetarian. Later, Miss Farah Robles began a vegetarian diet and hoped that more programs featuring vegetarian cooking and their benefits would be produced in future. When the interview was aired, many people phoned the television station, hoping to get more information about Master's teachings. Even the station's camera team applied to learn the Convenient Method.

There were lots of experiences after the activity. One person dreamed that he saw a saint whose whole body was surrounded by yellow light. After learning the Convenient Method, some people saw different colored lights. Even a nine year child, who out of curiosity peeped through the gap in the door to see the adults meditating, also saw that the darkened room was bright with light.

Master's teachings, like a clear spring, have nurtured the hearts of those seeking the Truth. Every time fellow practitioners spread the Truth, they witness the miraculous power of God's love that makes many impossible things possible. From each and every one of these precious opportunities, we deeply realize the truth in what Master has said: "God is the omnipresent power of love. Therefore when we are doing things with a loving heart, God will help us."
