[Manchester]
Fellow initiates from the Manchester Center participated in the annual
Body, Mind and Spirit International Festival held at the G. Mex Center
in Manchester, England from September 11 to 13, 1998. The initiates,
participating under the name of The Supreme Master Ching Hai International
Association, were the only group offering teachings on enlightenment
and liberation. Most other booths focused on spiritual healing.
The
sound from Master's videotaped lectures flowed through the exhibition
venue like a stream of pure water. Many visitors stopped to watch
the tapes, asking initiates about Master's teachings and requesting
the local contact telephone number. They showed great interest
in the experiences of initiates who practice the Quan Yin Method.
Visitors left the booth carrying printed and audiovisual publications
about Master and Her teachings, together with the best wishes
of the initiates that they would soon begin their homeward journey.
A
videotape showing a divine array of dazzling Celestial Clothing
also attracted many people. Visitors complimented Master's talents,
indicating that never before had they seen such perfect balance
between spiritual practice and outer accomplishment.
