Heartfelt Sincerity

Visitors
from different ethnic backgrounds interested in Master's teachings
crowd a booth set up by initiates at a Johannesburg athletic meet
in South Africa.

In
order to share Master's teachings in a most convenient and economical way
in the vast land of South Africa, the Johannesburg Center placed advertisements
in local Chinese newspapers and English spiritual magazines, for people
with affinity who would contact the Center on their own initiative. Over
the past two months, the Center has received requests for initiation while
large numbers of people have benefited from their knowledge of Master and
Her teachings.
The
Johannesburg initiates have found that the Quan Yin Method can reach any
part of the world through any means if only they set their heart on it.
South Africa has a large Chinese expatriate community, and their numbers
are on the rise. The Overseas Chinese Women's Association in South Africa
held an athletic meet and a bazaar at the University of the Witwatersrand,
Johannesburg on October 11. Thousands of overseas Chinese attended the activities,
crowding the many booths selling food and beverages, jewelry, books, and
stationery. Some of the booths had been set up by religious groups and trading
companies. This annual activity united the Chinese community into one big
family, forming a touching scene.
The
Johannesburg Center rented a booth that was just perfect. Initiates placed
Master's photographs and publications on display, and played Her videotapes.
The booth bustled with activity. Many fellow practitioners and non-initiates
came to help and worked diligently, hoping that more sentient beings would
long for liberation of the soul with a look at Master or by hearing Her
name.
The
activity ended on a successful note at 5 p.m. The initiates are now looking
forward to the next such event where they can share with even more people
the fact that the Quan Yin Method is the ultimate method to liberation.
