In Santo Tome, Santa Fe Province, Argentina, a group of Convenient Method practitioners had been waiting for initiation for a long time. When a Quan Yin messenger finally arrived there in July 2002, one sister among them learned that she would not be able to get initiated at the time because she had unknowingly eaten some non-vegetarian food. She was deeply disappointed, but the Quan Yin messenger comforted her, telling her to continue practicing the Convenient Method earnestly while waiting for the next initiation session. The messenger also told the sister that Master would take care of her and guide her just the same. But the sister was still very sad, and continued crying after returning home. Then suddenly, Master's inner light transformation form appeared to the sister. Since Master wore a white head scarf, the sister first thought She was Mother Maria, but then when she looked more closely, and realized it was Master Ching Hai, Who comforted her and stayed with her until she became relaxed, and then the inner light form of Master began to fade out very slowly.

When the sister returned to participate in the Convenient Method group meditation session held that afternoon, she told the Quan Yin messenger about her experience. She thought that the messenger had reported to Master about her failing to get initiated because she had mistakenly eaten meat, and so Master came to her home in the inner light form. The Quan Yin messenger told her, however, that Master is with us all the time and knows everything including what we say or do.

On the next day, Master's inner light form again appeared to this sister at her home and pointed to another sister, saying that both of them were full of light and that sister would accompany her so she would not be alone. The sister then understood that it was a lesson she had to learn. Now she is doing fine, keeping a strict vegetarian diet and practicing diligently.

Around the time of the Convenient Method group meditation session that afternoon, some visitors wished to know more about Master's teachings. And after watching videotapes of Master's lectures, they all stayed to learn the Convenient Method, including a woman who had been practicing spiritual healing and wanted to get initiated, but did not want to give up her healing method. After asking many questions, the woman realized that spiritual healing only takes care of the ephemeral physical body, that what we really need to take care of is our eternal true Self, and that only through initiation can the true inner Self be awakened. This woman then went home to carefully consider these insights. A month later, she made a special trip to Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires, to receive initiation. She was very happy with the experience and is looking forward to learning more about Master's teachings.
