[Seoul] On October 26, 2003, the day after Ching Hai Day, Seoul Center initiates held their third and final video seminar of the year for residents of three districts in Seoul. To announce the seminar the initiates worked diligently; wearing ear-muff hats designed by our loving Master, they braved the cold to distribute flyers and put up posters for over twelve hours, touching the hearts of other fellow brothers and sisters.

The day of the seminar arrived with beautiful blue skies, nature’s colorful autumn leaves and glorious sunshine blessing the area. The lecture hall, The Little Angels Performing Arts Center, is a famous and luxurious cultural center in Seoul. Since the Center is located at the entrance to the Children’s Grand Park, the event attracted great attention from families who visited the Park on Sunday with their little ones, and about 300 people attended to find their way Home.

Before the official start of the seminar, the initiates showed the video Looking at the past… Stepping into a bright future. Early Arrivals watching the presentation were deeply moved by Supreme Master Ching Hai’s loving and compassionate deeds throughout the world. After the video, the initiates also shared with the guests Master’s loving response and charitable contributions to the Korean people, especially victims of the recent Daegu Subway Disaster and of the flooding caused by Typhoon Maemi.

Following the introductory video Walk the Way of Love, about Master, the initiates presented Her lecture in Formosa during the 2000 Asia and Oceania Lecture Tour, and the saintly audience watched calmly and attentively throughout the screening. After the video presentation, participants raised sincere questions about Master, meditation and vegetarianism, and were enthusiastic about finding the path to enlightenment. Afterwards about a quarter of the participants learned the Convenient Method.

This year, Seoul Center initiates conducted three video seminars, with about 1,000 guests attending and hundreds learning the Convenient Method. They also assisted at many other video seminars held by other Korean centers, and their diligent efforts yielded both inner and outer improvements; so the Seoul brothers and sisters are inspired to continue spreading Master’s teachings in future years.

 

[Ansan] On October 19, 2003, Korean initiates held a video seminar at the Civil Defense Education Center in Ansan City. Seoul Center disciples and the seminar tour team braved the chilly weather to effectively promote the seminar with posters and flyers.

The Center, which was just recently built, boasts excellent facilities, and to welcome guests and cheer up the atmosphere, initiates beautifully decorated the outside of the building with colorful balloons. To offer a further gesture of welcome and inaugurate the seminar, traditional Korean dances were performed by a professional dance team directed by a sister initiate.

 

After watching Master’s videos, the audience members, who were from diverse religious

backgrounds, asked many enthusiastic questions during the question-and-answer session, and several guests later learned the Convenient Method.

Following this “spiritual feast,” the audience enjoyed a tasty vegetarian meal specially made by initiates. While enjoying his meal, one guest, Mr Jeong Oh-Hwa, commented, “I enjoyed Master Ching Hai’s videos and hope Her seminars can be held more frequently in our community. I majored in food science and am so happy to have this opportunity to taste soy-based meat here. It’s truly well prepared and delicious. I thank Master for offering it to me and also thank Her for enlightening me.”
