The Moon Festival

Florida Style

By LA News Group, CA, U.S.A.

Fellow initiates from all over the United States were invited to the Moon Festival celebrations at the Florida Center!

Shortly after lunch, Master arrived in a new golf cart and soon everyone surrounded Her with joy and an outpouring of love for Her. She joked with us in a relaxing and casual manner but intuitively sensed what disciples longed to hear.

Responding to questions, Master spoke for quite a length of time about human relationships and how She enjoys time alone to do what God has willed Her to do. She said that ordinarily marriage would be too restricting for Her solitary existence.


 

Master also reminded us that we should not always rely on Her but that we should become more independent and strive to become Masters ourselves. However, during the entire afternoon Master had been non-stop taking care of everyone, personally coming to the entrance to greet those who had just arrived, carrying them and their luggage in Her golf cart, arranging their sleeping places, et cetera. She also went to the kitchen and dining room to see everyone.

For children, it was their most beautiful paradise. Master joked with them, gave them candies, and drove them around.

Later that evening, everyone gathered in the gym for the Moon Festival entertainment program. Among the performers, the LA dance team presented a traditional Moon Festival "Harvest Dance." It was truly spectacular and Master poured all kinds of gifts and accolades onto the young performers. A sister from the San Francisco Center also sang a beautiful Au Lac ballad and performed one of Master's beautiful and enchanting poems.

After the show, Master threw traditional lucky money (in red envelopes) and other gifts to the excited crowd. She even used this occasion to teach us the values of honesty and how to share what we have with others. She did it in a very loving way, yet made a strong point.

The evening celebration ended outside as we shared the simple joy of watching the full moon in the night's indigo sky. Master took this opportunity to answer more questions from disciples. In the end, She repeatedly said to all, "I love you." Everyone then went to sleep or to meditate with an abundance of love.
