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.
