Another Instance of
Spiritual Elevation

[Austin] In order to share Master's love and blessings at the Austin Center, a special three-day retreat was held during the Labor Day weekend by the Center, in conjunction with the Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Oklahoma Centers.

One of the campsites at the Austin Center

The Austin Center is blessed with beautiful and calm natural scenery. Several years ago, Master stayed at the Center for a period of time. During Her stay, She led fellow initiates in cleaning up and beautifying the place. The fellow initiates who worked with Master at the time still vividly remember their wonderful experiences. Every construction site, tree, and flower in this Center contained Master's love and wisdom. Even after leaving the Center, Master has continued to be concerned about its development. She has been giving instructions on how to build and use the Center to benefit local fellow initiates, and has also sent Quan Yin messengers to the Center to guide its spiritual and physical development.

During the Labor Day, three-day retreat, participating fellow initiates enjoyed early morning and evening group meditation sessions. We felt strong vibrations as soon as we arrived at the Center. Many of us sensed Master's power and love with us everywhere.

A newly remodeled rest area

During the daytime, fellow initiates contributed their efforts to the ongoing construction needs of the Center. We also participated in other activities, including volleyball, swimming in a river, ping-pong, water games, singing, and campfires. This event also attracted many Convenient Method practitioners and the family members of fellow initiates. They stayed in a designated area of the Center reading News magazines, watching videos, and enjoying delicious vegetarian food. A Convenient Method learning session also was held during the retreat. A week after the event, we were delighted to hear that Master, upon learning of the successful completion of our retreat, sent Her congratulations to us for our diligent pursuit of spiritual growth. Thank You, Master, for Your everlasting love!
