Good News From

"The Wonderful Channel"

By the Promotion Team From Kaohsiung and Pingtung, Formosa

The promotion team of the Kaohsiung and Pingtung centers has been working very hard having Master's lectures shown on channel 4 TV. Now over ten cable TV companies (Channel 4) in the Kaohsiung and Pingtung areas have volunteered to provide a spiritual program, free of charge, to show Master's teachings at a regular time daily. Channel 4 covers almost all of the Kaohsiung, Pingtung and Jin Man areas. Fellow practitioners also had printed beautiful promotion posters with the showing times of Master's lectures by various TV stations and their respective channel numbers, and put them up in public places, hoping that those with affinity could listen to the Truth.

Since the video tapes of Master's lectures have been shown on Channel 4, our center has been receiving enquiry phone calls and requests for initiation. After beginning to view the video tapes of Master's lectures a few months ago, a lady enthusiastically buys photographs of Master and Her lecture video tapes. She also learned to practice the Convenient Method, and is awaiting initiation. She said with tears in her eyes that she became very happy ever since she saw Master on TV. Every day she always waits to listen to Master's lectures on TV before she goes to bed. Now what she looks forward to most is her initiation day.

A truck driver and his wife, after watching Master's lecture by chance on TV, fell in love with the program. Whenever it is time for the program, both of them quietly go to their room and watch Master's lecture, as if there is an amazing force that is pulling them to do so. The couple also study and discuss Master's teachings together. He happily and excitedly told our fellow practitioners that he and his wife became very fond of Master since they have been watching Master's lectures on Channel 4. They hope that they can see Master when She returns to Formosa.

The showing of Master's teachings on channel 4 leads to many new initiates joining our family of Quan Yin saints. Many new initiates often remark gratefully that if it were not for Master's "Wonderful Channel" that sends the Truth to their homes, they wonder when they would have been able to end their cycle of birth and death life after life, and enjoy this great love from Master in this lifetime!

Under Master's "People hungry, myself feel hungry ~ People drown, myself feel drowned", compassionate instructions and with the leadership of the Quan Yin messenger, fellow initiates from UK actively carried out a series of social care activities to further bring Master's teachings into practice.

Return visit to Ireland -
Sincere Truth-Seeking People and Various Universities & Colleges

The simple people of Ireland have a strong desire for the Truth. Not long after the previous visit of fellow initiates to Dublin, the capital city of the Ireland, to perform the 'Signature-Gathering Campaign' to aid the Au Lac refugees, there were local residents continually contacting the center via telephone calls, faxes and letters, etc., indicating keen interest in Master's teachings. Due to the fact that there are no fellow initiates or center in Ireland at the moment, they communicated directly with the various centers in England to make inquiries and to ask for more relevant materials. Also many people requested to practice the Convenient Method and initiation. Under such circumstances, the Quan Yin messenger and fellow initiates from England, after making the report to Master, immediately left for Dublin again bringing with them Master's boundless love.

In the next few days, the Quan Yin messenger and fellow initiates made use of the time at night to visit individually each of the local residents who showed interest in practicing the Convenient Method and initiation. Besides teaching them the Convenient Method, they also had all their questions answered in detail in preparation for the next initiation. There was one couple who were longing for initiation after obtaining news of Master the previous time. When they saw the Quan Yin messenger and fellow initiates who came from so far away to visit them, they were very moved. Even though it was in the middle of the working day of their grocery, yet knowing that we were pressed for time, they closed their shop early without any hesitation. Because of their sincerity and their joy of wanting to learn the Convenient Method, they had very good inner experiences. The most precious moment was when the Quan Yin messenger tactfully told them that if they wanted to be initiated they would have to change their jobs, because in running a grocery store it is difficult to avoid dealing with the foods such as meat and eggs. The sincere couple, immediately, without any hesitation, decided to sell the grocery store. Their decision to change to another profession moved the fellow initiates indeed. Also they were very willing to share the news of Master's teachings with others. Thus they obtained from fellow initiates many copies of Master's sample booklets and other materials to be placed in the shop so as to enable those with an affinity with Master to get to know Her.

During the day, fellow initiates made good use of the time by distributing Master's sample booklets on the campuses of the various universities and colleges in Dublin. Also on behalf of the Meditation Association, they presented the English version of 'The Key Of Immediate Enlightenment' to each of the libraries. The schools felt deep respect for Master's spirit of selfless dedication for the concern of the students' development and social situation. While distributing sample booklets at one of the colleges, it so happened that all Catholic clergymen were taking a training course at that college. Fellow initiates presented each of them with a sample booklet. When they discovered that Master does not belong to any religion but belongs to the Truth, they were very interested. Because all of these clergymen could get to know Master - a representative of God Almighty in the world, we truly felt it very meaningful indeed.

Oxford University - Formosa Student Association's 'Meditation & Life' Seminar

The life of students, being far away from home, studying overseas is full of a bitter taste, unknown to many people. In order to further help the Oxford University Formosan overseas students be able to face the dual pressures of studying and living, and still be able to live a happy and successful life, the Oxford center especially arranged for the Quan Yin messenger to hold a seminar entitled 'Meditation & Life' for the student association. The Oxford center in coordination with the association also helped with the promotion and provided manpower. The seminar attracted students and friends from Formosa, Mainland China and Hong Kong. Besides playing at the venue 'Meditation is the Source of Love', a video tape of the Supreme Master Ching Hai's lecture at Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall, Taipei, the Quan Yin messenger also introduced the benefits of meditation. News magazines and sample booklets were distributed free of charge to everyone in attendance. The half hour of discussion and questions and answers at the end of the program, was warmly received. The seminar eventually ended with the sounds of well-wishing.

Master's aphorisms are practical and inspire people to think. The Formosa Student Association's monthly journal at Oxford University regularly prints Master's aphorisms and abstracts of Her teachings. They received very good responses from fellow students. After reading them, some students even telephoned the Oxford center to affirm Master's teachings and exchanged achievements. At present, there are some students learning the Convenient Method and experiencing the inner light.

Manchester - Autumn's 1994 'Mind, Body & Spirit' Spiritual Practice Exhibition

Manchester is situated in the central part of England. Because the place has a thick atmosphere of spiritual practice, the center long ago registered to take part in the season's spiritual practice exhibition. Over one hundred different spiritual practicing groups take part in this exhibition attracting a lot of people. Fellow initiates made full use of the rented stall by putting up the abundance of Master's artistic creations, photos and books. Master's world tour lecture videotapes were also played at the venue and the people in attendance were naturally attracted to the stall to watch.

In order to be able to let people quickly understand the content of Master's teachings, fellow initiates attached a meticulously designed and eye-catching leaflet to each of the sample booklets which was distributed. The leaflet contained the news of Master receiving the 'World Spiritual Leadership Award' and the 'World Peace Award' and also some abstracts from each of the English version volumes of 'The Key Of Immediate Enlightenment'. Consequently after having read it many spiritual practitioners immediately came to the stall to inquire about Master's teachings. Among them were two British ladies, who had been practicing spiritually for quite some time. They always had questions about karma and reincarnation. This time, however, they were very satisfied and in agreement after having read the related material in Master's books of Truth and knowledge. They immediately bought Master's lecture video tapes so that they could do research at home. The next day, they returned to our stall and excitedly told us, "The video tapes of the Supreme Master Ching Hai are truly great!" Their faces radiated with bliss as if they found a treasure.

Many who were interested in the Quan Yin Method came to the stall to discuss with fellow initiates and to exchange practice achievements. Some people had also practiced similar methods of light and sound, but theirs was much more complicated than ours. They had to be initiated three times and each time they were told only very few instructions. Also they did not know how to distinguish the levels of inner experience. They were only able to narrate to their religious guides what they saw in their meditation and then got from them the guidelines of the next step of practice. In comparison, fellow initiates were all feeling very fortunate to be able to have met Master Ching Hai who possesses the supreme power. Some people right away decided to practice the Convenient Method after talking to fellow initiates. After the exhibition, fellow initiates received telephone calls almost daily from interested people inquiring about Master and requesting further materials on the Quan Yin Method.

The fellow initiates in UK, due to the experiences they gained while spreading Master's teachings and the responses afterwards, deeply feel Master's magnificent power and the preciousness of the Quan Yin Method. It also proved that 'real gold is not afraid of fire' and 'the Truth always prevails'. With each exhibition, it not only lets more British people know about the Quan Yin Method, but also strengthens the confidence of fellow initiates in their own method.
