《Taegu》Recently, the Taegu Center held a vegetarian buffet for the instructors and guards in the Kiong Chu Prison. Normally, the nuns and monks in Korea do not keep a vegetarian diet, the prison authorities thought that our practicing group was also non-vegetarian; therefore, the fellow initiates wanted to hold a vegetarian buffet. The results were beyond their expectation.

　Afterward, many people decided to become vegetarian because this buffet gave them a lot of different examples and showed them many methods of preparing delicious vegetarian food. They wanted the fellow initiates to give them the recipes, and also inquired at length about our group. The prison officials were so impressed that they were able to open up and express their friendliness. The instructors and commissioner also asked us to provide some of Master's videotapes for the prisoners.

　Recently, religious groups and government organizations sponsored a sporting event for the prisoners; so the officials and commissioner asked us to provide another opportunity for them to taste the vegetarian food. In addition, on the same day of the sporting event, we were also invited to show Master's videos and provide another vegetarian buffet for the public. As a result, all of the Korean Centers decided to come together to prepare the meal for the prisoners. Thanks to Master's arrangement, an initiate from Hong Kong happened to be at the Korean Center and was able to teach the Korean initiates more ways of cooking vegetarian food, thereby providing additional help.

　After showing the public Master's videos and providing them with a vegetarian meal, fellow initiates then went to the prison to prepare the vegetarian buffet. During their work, all the initiates felt Master's great blessing energy and love, and hundreds of guests felt astonished that they could eat such delicious vegetarian food. They asked us if we had a professional chef or cook, and if we were willing to teach them how to prepare vegetarian food. The officials were grateful and said that because of our group's assistance, they often get encouragement and praises.

　After the meal, fellow initiates did not feel tired at all and even played a soccer game with the prisoners in which the initiates won. After the game, the fellow initiates gave their prize to the prisoners -- the prison was full of Master's blessing power and great love.

　In the Chong Shong Prison, dozens of prisoners were fortunate enough to have heard of Master's teachings before. There was even one prisoner who, after being a vegetarian and practicing the Convenient Method for a while, felt very healthy mentally and physically. He was truly touched and wished he had known of the method earlier. From that moment on, he decided to live a life according to Master's teachings. He also wished that this would influence people to help others know and realize how good Master's teachings are. Currently, many people in the prison have learned the Convenient Method, and the rest are trying to become vegetarians. They all wish to join the Quan Yin family.
