Group Meditation

The Quan Yin Family In Germany

The Munich Branch Center

By Fellow Initiate Li in Germany

Coming To The Group Meditation Is Like Coming Home

After Master's lecture in Munich last year, new initiates in the Munich branch center are increasing all the time. German and Asian people are in equal proportion. The group meditation is held each Sunday morning. After the spiritual feast, we enjoy together a delicious lunch meticulously prepared by fellow initiates. Although some German and Au Lac fellow initiates cannot speak directly to each other, their acknowledging smiles during the meal or upon meeting each other, are sufficient to convey their deep inner concern for each other.

Therefore, some claim that it is like coming home when attending the group meditation each Sunday. Others remark that, besides being more stable during the meditation with the group, the delicious meal shared after the meditation is also particularly enjoyable and refreshing.

This cordial venue for the group meditation is a hall in a students' dormitory, in downtown Munich. It is a quiet place amid a busy area, spacious and bright. Apart from Sundays, some fellow practitioners also come on weekdays to meditate. On special holidays, two-day retreats are held, which fellow initiates from nearby cities also join eagerly.

Eating At The Same Table With Jesus Christ

A Christian fellow initiate in Munich had a vision during meditation - that Jesus Christ and the twelve apostles were sitting at a table. Upon seeing her, Jesus asked her to sit. She timidly said that she was not deserving. However, He said that she deserved to sit with Him, so she was much encouraged and delighted. She recalls always have been bullied and scolded by people since childhood. However since her initiation, she is treated with courtesy and respect. In adversities, when people naturally appear in time extending sincere help, she is delighted and surprised!

Her mother did not understand Master at first, and worried that her daughter might have gone astray. Gradually, she observed her daughter improving in every aspect, always full of confidence, and capable of handling problems with ease. This unique fact convinced her mother to believe in Master!

This mother was a pious Christian. She prayed frequently, but without any result. For once, she tried praying to Master. Unexpectedly, the impossible thing happened and her problem was solved. Hence, she studies Master's teachings diligently and prays to receive initiation soon. Her longing has been answered, and she is now a Quan Yin practitioner.

The Secret Method
To Have Better Results With Less Effort

The new liaison person is studying to be a

translator at a college in Germany. The curriculum is weighty and difficult, so she must study laboriously. In the past, she was so anxious before each exam that she could not eat or sleep. It is different now. Before an exam, she even enrolled for the retreat, and helped translate into German. When the retreat was over, she dashed to the airport to catch a plane back to Germany, and then rushed to the examination hall. Amazingly, she received a good result despite such a situation. Observing the incredible outcome, fellow practitioners understand very well that Master has particularly blessed and helped her!

- BOSNIA -
God's Love Saved
A City Under Siege

Master has instructed fellow practitioners to help the homeless and disaster victims. Inspired by Master's compassion, our fellow initiates recalled the frequent coverage by the news media of the pitiful situation created by the civil war in Bosnia. They decided to help the people of Usora under siege.

As the relief operation was launched, there was a warm response from fellow practitioners. The liaison person delivered the relief fund and the sample booklets to the charity workers, who immediately purchased large quantities of relief materials like noodles and flour, for the victims. The staff working in the fighting area were usually disheartened, as every day they had to face the innocent civilians being sacrificed at the hands of the war. Some of them became more cheerful after they read Master's sample booklet.

Then, came the most delightful news. The next day after the relief materials had been prepared, the unexpected news was broadcasted on the radio that the siege on the city had been lifted. While rejoicing, the fellow practitioners also had deep reflections. Nothing is impossible with the help of Master's power. There is boundless love behind each of Master's instructions. If we carry them out meticulously and quickly, then God's salvation power can reach the people in need just in time.

Celebrating
A New Home

Recently, several fellow initiates saw a new meditation center in their dreams. It turned out to be true! A fellow initiate offered a house with a garden, in the suburbs. There are many rooms inside, and the surroundings are quiet and tidy. Everybody has been dreaming of an ideal place for group meditation, and they have finally found it. What a blessing by God! Now, the fellow practitioners come together every weekend to paint and clean. They also plan to hold joint group meditations later, utilizing the center as much possible.

With Master's care and help , everyone believes the future of the new group meditation center is bright and promising.
