The
local vegetarian population has increased markedly since the opening of the
Vegetarian House. Many previously casual vegetarians, convinced of the importance
of a pure vegetarian diet following visits to the restaurant and a perusal
of Master's publications, are now completely abstaining from meat and eggs.
Initiates serving at the restaurant have received many questions from local
and foreign patrons about the Quan Yin Method, reincarnation, the spiritual
realms, and the meaning of life and eternal liberation. For one foreign visitor,
a mere visit to the Vegetarian House turned out to be a marvelous experience.
Looking at some books on display, he became exalted as soon his eyes fell
on the cover picture of Master on The Key Of Immediate Enlightenment, and
he purchased the book right then and there. To fellow initiates curious about
his impatience, he responded, "I have found Master." While many restaurant
patrons have received initiation or learned the Convenient Method, the list
of those requesting initiation continues to grow as the Palawan Vegetarian
House has developed into a center for the selfless sharing of Master's teachings.
The radiant
smiles on the patrons' faces bespeak Master's blessings and inspire the working
initiates to serve in joy, their confidence growing in the face of challenges
as they are constantly reminded of Master's loving grace and remarkable arrangements.
In the process of learning and serving to the best of their ability with God-given
wisdom, they also rely on guidance from Quan Yin messengers. The spiritual
maturity of the initiates is reflected in the course after course of delectable
nutritional delicacies set before the guests, winning generous words of praise,
satisfying sensual perceptions in palate and appetite, and sending souls soaring
high.
When visitors
step into the bright and attractively decorated Vegetarian House, they immediately
find themselves in a cozy, but out-of-this world dining environment lighted
by Master's photos and paintings on the walls. Spiritual publications and
the audio and videotapes by Master that are neatly stacked on the counters
exude an aura of spiritual beauty and purity. Here, visitors receive more
than just food for the palate; if they wish, they may also have a priceless
spiritual gift free of charge - a copy of the sample booklet and the News
magazine bearing Master's beautiful pictures. Some visitors, unable to select
only one magazine, request a copy of every News magazine on display.
This one and
only pure vegetarian restaurant in Palawan has quickly established a name
for itself locally. Not only do the Philippine residents know about it, but
also large groups of tourists return repeatedly to relish Eastern and Western
delicacies. By word of mouth, Master's teachings are now known to many. Spiritual
blossoms are emerging in this remote area where life is difficult and material
luxuries are scarce.
