Creating a Compassionate and Vegetarian Global Village

The Alternative Living poster brightens a subway station in Busan, Korea.

Busan Center put up large illuminated Alternative Living posters in the city’s subway stations. Initially they were scheduled to be up for only two months, but through the active support of fellow initiates these eye-catching notices will now stay for at least one year.

Since the bus is the most popular type of public transport in Gwangju, initiates took the initiative to promote the Alternative Living flyer on buses. The flyers appear on the back of bus-seats and initiates made a contract for the flyers to be displayed in 20 buses for one month. 10 seats per bus have been allocated for the flyer and the promotion on Gwangju buses will continue for about a year.

On March 26, Gwangju initiates conducted a publicity campaign for “Alternative Living” and a vegetarian food sampling event. Many people joined the sampling and responded positively. Through this event, Gwangju sisters and brothers were able to see the change in people’s attitudes towards vegetarianism and respect for life, and feel Master’s deepest love that gave them the opportunity to serve others selflessly.

On March 31, Seoul initiates went to Myungdong in Chuncheon City and joined with the local initiates to disseminate “Alternative Living” flyers to tourists.

After knowing the noble purpose of the campaign, the Myungdong Shops Association allowed us to use the middle passage, so that we could conduct the publicity campaign in the best place. The initiates provided vegetarian food for sampling and it was so popular that the food was gone much faster than expected. In addition, the “Love Life – 10 Million Signature Collection Campaign” was conducted and in a short time 600 people had enthusiastically signed it.
