As Christmas 2001 approached, fellow initiates
from London, Ontario heard that some elderly residents of a local nursing
home were having financial problems, so we planned to visit the home
and offer them gifts. Upon hearing of our intentions, the home's volunteer
coordinator expressed great appreciation and sent us a list of items
needed by each resident.
On
the day of our visit, after our regular group meditation session,
we rehearsed several Christmas songs, dressed ourselves up as angels,
Santa Claus, reindeer, etc., and happily headed for the nursing home.
Next we visited with the residents and distributed the gifts along
with flyers that briefly introduced Master and the Quan Yin Method.
They were very happy to see us and to receive both their material
and spiritual gifts. Then, as our chorus performed for the group,
some residents chose their favorite songs and sang along with us,
while others lovingly listened.
Although
we were not professional singers, we sang wholeheartedly to create
a happy atmosphere and convey God's Love to the residents of the nursing
home. The participants were all deeply touched by the presence of
God's love. This experience reinforced out belief that the best way
to advocate Christ's spirit is to share God's divine love with other
people, especially those less fortunate!
