During Master's visit, it happened to be the Cambodian New Year. Fellow initiates in Cambodia seized this great opportunity to extend a courteous invitation to Master to have dinner at the vegetarian restaurant opened by fellow initiates. Finding it difficult to decline their sincere invitation, Master accepted and also allowed the local fellow initiates to join Her for the dinner, to celebrate the New Year together.
The S.M. Vegetarian Restaurant was opened by fellow initiates in Cambodia who, inspired by Master's love, sincerely want to offer natural and healthy food to the Cambodian people. It became the first vegetarian restaurant in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. When Master arrived at the restaurant, which was already packed with fellow initiates, She asked smilingly what would happened if someone came in for a meal. The fellow initiates replied humorously, "We have a full house today!"
Master affably laughed and joke with the fellow initiates; with a stream of witty remarks, She made them laugh continuously.
In order to give Her blessings to the cooks, Master visited the kitchen and gave candies and red envelopes with lucky New Year's money in them to the staff. She praised that the food was delicious.
All of the fellow initiates were very grateful for Master's love and care. A warm and joyful New Year Festival atmosphere pervaded every corner of the restaurant.

to the new year in Cambodia.
