By Fellow Initiate Nguyen in Berlin, Germany (Originally in English)
Fellow practitioners in Berlin have been to Prague several times, to distribute Master's sample booklets. Their experiences have convinced them deeply that Master's helpers are everywhere they go to spread Master's teachings.
On their first visit last year, the fellow practitioners did not know much about this land and its people. They thought that since it was a former communist country, they might have encountered all kinds of difficulties there, and it might have taken weeks to distribute the thousands of booklets. It had been rainy for some days, and so they did not know whether they could make the trip. However, the weather miraculously turned out to be very nice during that morning, so they began work immediately as they arrived in Prague. To their surprise, the atmosphere was very friendly, and the people were very kind. They distributed all of the booklets within just a few hours, and with Master's blessing, it did not start to rain again before they finished working.
The fellow initiates knew very well that it was Master's supreme power that had helped them silently. Their work would not have been so quickly done if they had not had the help of some local people. There was a young man who at first hesitated to take the booklet upon being offered one; he shook his head and walked on, but then he walked back and took one and went away again. After a while he came back and asked the fellow initiates to give him some booklets to distribute. Surprisingly, he stayed and helped them until all the booklets were given away.
The people who sold books and magazines along the streets and those who were standing there came and asked for a copy of the booklets. There was also a group of children who found the distribution work interesting. They took some booklets, went away in all directions and then came back after a while to take some more. All of this turned out to be a great help to the fellow initiates because none of them speak Czech or know how to get about in this big city. Some people even taught them how to say "free" in Czech, and so everything went even more smoothly for them to distribute the booklets. Under Master's wonderful arrangement, fellow practitioners all felt that it was a very nice "trip" indeed.
The second time, a group of Berlin fellow practitioners went to Prague to attend an international exhibition, "Harmony", and distributed thousands of Master's sample booklets. This time, it was still winter in Europe and the weather was cold, but everybody disregarded the cold wind and went outdoors, bringing with them Master's loving blessings, and distributed the booklets. They went to different subway stations to meet more people, warming their souls with the message of God. When fellow practitioners met together after work, the topic of their warm conversations everyday was Master's teachings or about how to do the work better. While doing Master's work, one always receives an abundance of blessings, and having the honor to serve others this way is better and more interesting than anything else.
In the exhibition hall many people came to our table to take more sample booklets for friends and relatives. They asked questions, and several people even learned the Convenient Method. One man came, observed our booth, moved his hands over Master's books and then told us that he felt a very strong energy from them. Another man said that he would like to have many booklets to display in his office. Some people stood there to watch Master's lecture tape attentively, nodding or laughing, now and then, according to what Master was saying.
A friendly young Czech lady came to our stall. She said that she is a vegetarian and had translated some Buddhist books. It so happened that the translator could not come next day, so they asked the young lady to help them communicate with the local people at their stand. She willingly agreed. All the fellow practitioners feel that every time they do things to spread Master's teachings, Master is always arranging everything so that they can fulfill their task successfully. Pushed by Master's large and omnipotent hand, their plans had been perfectly executed.
Soon after the exhibition, some people from Prague have written letters to our contact address in Vienna, Austria, to show their eagerness to know more about Master's teachings and to ask for more information. Master had sown the seeds of love there, and soon there will be fruits of love. Let us open our arms to welcome more loving sisters and brothers to join the ranks of the Quan Yin practitioners!
