Highly Spiritually Inclined

In order to introduce the Supreme Master Ching Hai and Her teachings in various cities throughout Peru, fellow practitioners and the Quan Yin messenger presented seven video lecture seminars from June to September 1998 in Trujillo, Arequipa, Tacna, Cusco, Juliaca, and Puno. The lecture rooms were always packed with Truth-seekers and many interesting episodes and sidelights occurred.

Seminars held to introduce Master's teachings.

In Arequipa, a reporter who wondered into the seminar held his press ID in his hand while trying to squeeze through the crowd, and shouted, "I'm a reporter. Please let me in!" However no one would make way for him. After the seminar, he requested to learn the Convenient Method of meditation and decided to follow a vegetarian diet. He invited the Quan Yin messenger to Radio San Martin, a religious broadcasting station, for an interview. After the interview, when he mentioned that he would soon meet with the President's daughter in relation to a poverty issue, the Quan Yin messenger asked him to give her a copy of Master's sample book if he should have an opportunity. Discussing the event later, the reporter remarked that at first, he thought the President's daughter might decline the book or accept it merely out of politeness. Unexpectedly, she looked through the book and then delightedly embraced the reporter to express her gratitude. Other reporters present were puzzled about what gift he had given her that deserved such special treatment.

People eagerly ask to learn the Convenient Method of editation.

In Tacna, fellow practitioners met with the group Alpha & Omega that studies extraterrestrial life. This group warmheartedly assisted us by the loan of a TV and VCR for the seminar. Many of its members attended the lecture and later requested initiation into the Quan Yin Method.

Originally we had only arranged for one lecture in Puno; however, another seminar was held at the request of a student representative from the University of Altiplano. After this seminar, some students in the audience requested the university administration to provide vegetarian alternatives on campus. The university's dietitian invited the Quan Yin messenger and fellow practitioners to teach and demonstrate the techniques of vegetarian cooking to its kitchen staff.

When we arrived at Puno, two fellow initiates that had previously been monks of the Hare Krishna society came from Lima to help. During their stay in Puno, one saw the manifestation of Lord Krishna in his meditation and was overjoyed. He had been following the Hare Krishna path for a decade, but this was the first time he had had such a wondrous experience. Meanwhile, the initiates introduced two friends from the Hare Krishna society in Puno, who also wanted to be initiated, into the Quan Yin Method. Once during a heated discussion on some spiritual issues between the Quan Yin messenger and one of the newly initiated Hare Krishna members, another fellow initiate who was meditating nearby saw that the Quan Yin messenger was emanating bright light through Master's blessing power.

La Industria, a newspaper in Peru, reported our presentations of Master's videotaped lectures and introduced Master Ching Hai and Her teachings to its readers in the June 11, 1998 issue.

After this series of seminars, the number of initiates and Convenient Method practitioners in Peru increased dramatically. New Centers established in Cusco and Puno provide a greatly appreciated location for our fellow practitioners to get together for group meditations and to watch Master's videotapes.
