[Oregon]
After weeks of preparation, on January 6, 2002, the Oregon Center
launched a lecture seminar featuring Master's videos at the Central
Library in downtown Portland. The program was very successful, and
afterwards many participants decided to stay and learn the Convenient
Method. The great success of the seminar was very encouraging.
One
gentleman came to the Library a few minutes before the seminar and
said he was there to look for a book about God. When he saw Master's
poster at the door of the seminar room, he thought to himself that
perhaps this was what God wanted him to do. So he came in, listened
to the video lecture, and stayed on to learn the Convenient Method.
A woman
was visiting Portland that week and told us that she had been thinking
about meditation, and then saw the library's event schedule. When
she noticed a free meditation lesson listed, she came in and learned
the Convenient Method.
One sister
recalled that two women entered while we were still busy decorating
the venue. So she greeted them very warmly, and invited them to stay
and share a moment with us. They showed little response to her warm
greeting, so she played one of Master's videotapes for them. Surprisingly,
both women stayed and joined the seminar, and both learned the Convenient
Method afterwards. Before departing, they smilingly told the sister
who had greeted them that they now understood what she meant by "sharing
a moment with us."
Inspired
by the success of this event, the Oregon Center has decided to organize
similar lecture seminars on a regular basis, so that more people will
be offered the opportunity to share Master's love and blessings, and
move forward on the path to enlightenment.
