Ever since the international 4-day retreat held in Sydney in May of this year, there has been a heightening of activity undoubtedly the fruit of Master's blessing.

Sydney initiates celebrated the official opening of the new publications display and meditation venue in the heart of Sydney. All fellow practitioners including non-initiated family members and friends were formally invited. A wide variety of beautifully prepared, nutritional vegetarian culinary delights including an enormous cake skillfully decorated and loving baked by one of our sisters were enjoyed by all. Later a musical performance was arranged by some of our local talented initiates and convenient method practitioners who added to the entertainment of our guests and brought to a close a very successful event.

By the end of the evening, apart from having eaten to their hearts content, many of those present especially the non-initiates were given a greater understanding and appreciation of how practicing the Quan Yin method contributes to a healthier and less stressful lifestyle where meditation, healthy food and a child-like approach to enjoying our free time can quite easily become an integral part of our daily lives.

For the preparation and the opening of the new publications display and meditation center, many initiates were eager to give their time and skills in selfless service. Working again with our fellow practitioners we could enjoy the fruit of Masters blessing as well as re-experiencing that same feeling of togetherness and satisfaction in serving others which we all felt so much during the recent 4-day international retreat in Sydney.

Looking to the future we all sincerely hope this new meditation facility will continue to grow in providing opportunities for fellow practitioners to serve others, and more importantly serve the spiritual needs of the rapidly growing number of Sydney's spiritual aspirants and those turning to meditation as a foundation for a healthier and wiser lifestyle, though Master's teachings.

Initiates and guests in Sydney, Australia celebrated the official opening of the new library and meditation venue.
