Creating a Compassionate and Vegetarian Global Village

Korea
Youngdong

Youngdong initiates participated in the Nangye Traditional Korean Music Festival from August 25 to 28, Golden Year 3 (2006) to share the message of Alternative Living.

Many local people and visitors from other areas came in to the festival, much more than previous years, thus keeping initiates very busy and happy. Alternative Living fans were all given out in just a half-day. Foods prepared for free sampling were also quickly consumed, getting a lot of attention and positive responses from visitors.

A brother came up with a good idea: making balloons with Alternative Living messages printed on to give free to people. Indeed, visitors liked it so much. Many of the local people do animal farming, so their positive response was very good and encouraging to notice.

Children especially paid great attention to us. About 90% of the children passing by came to us and tried vegetarian food, and even coaxed their parents to come and try it also. Volunteer workers for the festival also were very interested in our booth. Everyone was so happy about the taste and very valuable information.

The president of Youngdong Culture Center who hosted the festival, expressed his deep gratitude to our activities and strongly invited us to join next year’s event. After the festival, brothers and sisters visited Youngdong Culture Center again and were delighted to be told that we could use the Culture Center for our upcoming seminar.

Daejeon

A Mobile Alternative Living Promotion

An initiate married couple from Daejeon Center made a special Alternative Living vehicle to be used for mobile promotion to every corner of the nation. It features a large TV and audio system, and also information on vegetarianism. The vehicle can go anywhere any time, and play videos and recorded narration about the benefits of vegetarianism. Even while the vehicle is moving, it continues to play the narrated audio, thus attracting attention from passengers and other car drivers.

Specially made Alternative Living vehicle

Currently, every Tuesday and Thursday, in front of Daejeon Government Complex, the couple play the video for about 2 hours during lunch time while distributing Alternative Living flyers. Many public officers come out and while waiting for the signal light to change, naturally see the Alternative Living vehicle. As this activity is done regularly, the officers have become familiar with the Alternative Living vehicle, and say hallo or exchange nice conversations and pay attention to the promotion with growing interest. After lunch time, the initiate couple move around Daejeon City for about one or two hours with the same activities.

Seoul

Korean brothers and sisters are putting Alternative Living stickers on their cars for daily promotions with messages of “Vegetarianism saves me and the earth” “I love vegetarianism” etc.

A very large electronic bulletin board is continuously showing a video about Alternative Living in a very crowded street of Namyoung-dong, Seoul City. The advertisement has been on since August. For about 15 seconds, about 1,000 times a day, it shows Master’ s pictures and Alternative Living messages day and night, along with about 7 other short commercials. More amazingly, the Alternative Living video has been shown there free of charge.
