[Austin]
Disciples from all over Texas participated in the 1998 Whole Life
Expo in Austin. There were thousands of people representing all kinds
of spiritual backgrounds and endeavors. As the sample booklets and
News magazines were being distributed to the visitors, the initiates
were very surprised to discover that many of them had heard of Master
already and had even seen Her lectures which have been frequently
broadcasted on the public television station. One man said that watching
Master's videos on TV is one of his favorite things to do. Another
man said, "She is so true it is not even funny." Consequently,
many of those sincere truth-seekers took this good opportunity to
request the initiation.
The
Texas initiates also promoted Master's teachings on vegetarianism
by providing lots of vegetarian food for the public. There were people
standing in a long line just for a taste, and the initiates couldn't
cook fast enough to meet the demand. Then, one of the organizers of
the Expo said how much she loved our food and how it made her feel
so good, and it drew even more people to our booth.
On
the last day, the disciples stayed at the Expo until almost all the
other booths had closed. A man who was walking out the door ran back
and asked for a sample booklet. It was the very last one, as if they
had been counted in advance. Everyone went home feeling closer to
Master after doing Her work, and knowing that She had reached everyone
who was ready.
