A
Retreat in Divine Love
[Lima]
Fellow practitioners from Lima had long wished
to hold a local retreat, and our desire was finally realized with
a two-day retreat on December 8 and 9, 2001, at a farm offered by
a brother who made all its facilities available for the event. The
farm was surrounded by fields of beautiful sunflowers, and the air
was fresh and vitalizing.
In
addition to the group meditation sessions held during the retreat,
we also listened to Master's audio-taped discourses. With a sincere
wish to understand the profound meaning of Master's words, sister
initiates frequently asked that the tapes be replayed. Participants
also read the News magazines that Master had lovingly published for
us .
During
this soul-elevating gathering, we deeply experienced Master's all-pervading
and boundless divine love. Finally, amidst the ethereal sound of holy
hymns, and filled with bliss, we bade farewell and looked forward
to seeing each other again at the next retreat.
