Combined Report from The Netherlands

The week before Master's scheduled lecture in the Netherlands, fellow initiates from various countries got into the full swing of preparation. The largest number of initiates came from Germany. Among them was a couple who ran a vegetarian restaurant. They closed it for a month to follow Master, to help with Her European Lecture Tour.

One sister initiate from the USA was bringing video equipment to Spain for the taping of the lectures. On her arrival, she was told that help was needed in the Netherlands. So she handed the equipment over to a local initiate and transferred to another flight to the Netherlands without even stepping out of the airport. When she got to the Netherlands Center, a Quan Yin messenger said to her: "A translator is needed for the lecture in the Czech Republic to translate between Chinese and English. Without hesitation she promised to go there right after the work in the Netherlands was completed.

Many of these initiates came to help voluntarily at their own expense and plunged into the preparations for the lectures immediately upon their arrival.

Two sisters from the Celestial Jewelry Group arrived at the Dutch airport at noon the day before Master's lecture. Since the required paperwork had not been completed, the whole case of jewelry was detained in customs. After going through all the procedures and they were finally able to take out the jewelry, it was already midnight. In the early morning of the next day, they rushed to the lecture venue to prepare the display of the Celestial Jewelry. Then they explained each piece of jewelry's meaning and implications to the visitors. After Master's lecture and the initiation, it was midnight again when they started to pack.

The selfless service and devotion of the initiates from many countries inspired the local fellow-initiates who had also worked wholeheartedly, some on 24-hour standby. "This is the first time I have participated in this kind of work," an initiate said, "I have learned a great deal from the old initiates from different places. They are mirrors reflecting my shortcomings. They are truly a great help to me."
