The Quan Yin Family In Germany -
The Munich Branch Center
By Fellow Initiate Li in Germany
Coming To The Group Meditation Is Like
Coming Home
After Master's lecture in Munich last year, new initiates in the Munich branch center are increasing all the time. German and Asian people are in equal proportion. The group meditation is held each Sunday morning. After the spiritual feast, we enjoy together a delicious lunch meticulously prepared by fellow initiates. Although some German and Au Lac fellow initiates cannot speak directly to each other, their acknowledging smiles during the meal or upon meeting each other, are sufficient to convey their deep inner concern for each other. Therefore, some claim that it is like coming home when attending the group meditation each Sunday. Others remark that, besides being more stable during the meditation with the group, the delicious meal shared after the meditation is also particularly enjoyable and refreshing. This cordial venue for the group meditation is a hall in a students' dormitory, in downtown Munich. It is a quiet place amid a busy area, spacious and bright. Apart from Sundays, some fellow practitioners also come on weekdays to meditate. On special holidays, two-day retreats are held, which fellow initiates from nearby cities also join eagerly.
A Christian fellow initiate in Munich had a vision during
meditation - that Jesus Christ and the twelve apostles were
sitting at a table. Upon seeing her, Jesus asked her to sit.
She timidly said that she was not deserving. However, He said
that she deserved to sit with Him, so she was much encouraged and
delighted. She recalls always have been bullied and scolded by
people since childhood. However since her initiation, she is
treated with courtesy and respect. In adversities, when people
naturally appear in time extending sincere help, she is delighted
and surprised!
Her mother did not understand Master at first, and worried
that her daughter might have gone astray. Gradually, she
observed her daughter improving in every aspect, always full of
confidence, and capable of handling problems with ease. This
unique fact convinced her mother to believe in Master!
This mother was a pious Christian. She prayed frequently,
but without any result. For once, she tried praying to Master.
Unexpectedly, the impossible thing happened and her problem was
solved. Hence, she studies Master's teachings diligently and
prays to receive initiation soon. Her longing has been answered,
and she is now a Quan Yin practitioner.
The Secret Method
To Have Better Results With Less Effort
The new liaison person is studying to be a translator at a college in Germany. The curriculum is weighty and difficult, so she must study laboriously. In the past, she was so anxious before each exam that she could not eat or sleep. It is different now. Before an exam, she even enrolled for the retreat, and helped translate into German. When the retreat was over, she dashed to the airport to catch a plane back to Germany, and then rushed to the examination hall. Amazingly, she received a good result despite such a situation. Observing the incredible outcome, fellow practitioners understand very well that Master has particularly blessed and helped her!
- BOSNIA -
God's Love Saved
A City Under Siege
Master has instructed fellow practitioners to help the
homeless and disaster victims. Inspired by Master's compassion,
our fellow initiates recalled the frequent coverage by the news
media of the pitiful situation created by the civil war in
Bosnia. They decided to help the people of Usora under siege.
As the relief operation was launched, there was a warm
response from fellow practitioners. The liaison person delivered
the relief fund and the sample booklets to the charity workers,
who immediately purchased large quantities of relief materials
like noodles and flour, for the victims. The staff working in
the fighting area were usually disheartened, as every day they
had to face the innocent civilians being sacrificed at the hands
of the war. Some of them became more cheerful after they read
Master's sample booklet.
Then, came the most delightful news. The next day after the
relief materials had been prepared, the unexpected news was
broadcasted on the radio that the siege on the city had been
lifted. While rejoicing, the fellow practitioners also had deep
reflections. Nothing is impossible with the help of Master's
power. There is boundless love behind each of Master's
instructions. If we carry them out meticulously and quickly,
then God's salvation power can reach the people in need just in
time.
