Vegetarian Food Sampling
at the New Funabashi Center

 

[Tokyo] The Tokyo Center in Funabashi City is the long-awaited answer to a common aspiration of Japanese fellow initiates. With a seating capacity of about 100 people, the Center serves as a place for gro up meditation and provides a venue for monthly activities such as the exhibition of spiritual artworks, videotapes, audiotapes, and books. On October 25, Tokyo initiates held a vegetarian food sampling event at the Center to celebrate Ching Hai Day.

The activity elicited an enthusiastic response from initiates in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Shizuoka, Iwate, Niigata and Kobe, some of whom had to travel long distances to attend. Many participants arrived at the Center a night early, sharing news and enjoying more time for meditation. The food sampling event coincided with the Center's monthly group meditation. Fellow initiates cherished this precious moment to communicate with the inner Master and meditate diligently. A small room was reserved for would-be initiates to enjoy God's blessings with us.

As guests arrived, the sampling party formally commenced. Fellow practitioners presented their artistically styled and exquisitely and lovingly prepared vegetarian delicacies and fruit. Fellow practitioners from Gunma were unable to participate in the event and sent a package of renowned "angel's pastries." Both guests and initiates sampled the delicious treats, their hearts filled with the immeasurable warmth of the Quan Yin family as they immersed themselves in heavenly bliss and Master's infinite blessings on this memorable Ching Hai Day.
