Florida Style

---|
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.

Celebrating
the Moon Festival with master at Florida Center
|
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.
