Master's
last lecture in Europe was a tremendous success. Fellow initiates vacated
the lecture hall in deference to the guests and sat in two other rooms
with large video projection screens. When waves of people poured into
the lecture hall, the initiates immediately gave up one room to the
guests, which was fully occupied in no time. Finally, the initiates
withdrew from the last room. Although they had no seats, their hearts
were filled with happiness.
Dressed elegantly
in pink, Master mounted the platform and invited some of the audience
members in front to sit on the platform beside Her. Two lucky young
girls sat side by side with Master. During Master's lecture, She assured
us that we can see God in our present lives. In fact, seeing God is
not difficult. Even children can communicate with God. During the question
and answer period, question sheets streamed up to the platform, including
piles of questions from the other two rooms. When Master had answered
the questions from all three rooms, the audience continued to ask more,
verbally. Even when the lecture was drawing to an end, audience members
were reluctant to leave. Then, those in attendance closed their eyes
and prayed for a few minutes, and Master gave them blessed food. This
finally concluded the lecture period.
Next, when Master
stepped out of the hall, She greeted the people standing near the stairway.
One guest requested initiation even though he was the owner of a non-vegetarian
restaurant. Due to his sincerity, Master approved his initiation anyway
but advised him to change his restaurant to a vegetarian one. He was
so delighted that he repeatedly thanked Her. One Catholic priest and
two nuns also attended the lecture and sat in the first row. The humor
in Master's answers to the audience members' questions moved all three
of them to warm-hearted laughter. Later they received initiation into
the Quan Yin Method. Hundreds of people were initiated in London, which
had the highest total of new initiates among all the lecture stops.
It was a great success to have so many new fellow initiates join us
in the capital of the United Kingdom, and the perfect conclusion to
Master's 1999 European Lecture Tour!
