Combined report by Taoyuan News Group, Formosa (Originally in Chinese)

In an effort to spread God's love to every corner of the world, fellow initiates in Formosa traveled to India to share God's message of Alternative Living with local brothers and sisters there. As one of the four ancient civilizations and the second most populated country in the world, India is home to a billion people who speak about a hundred dialects and enjoy a rich spiritual and cultural heritage.

On April 19, Golden Year 3 (2006), 22 of our Formosan fellow practitioners arrived at Delhi Airport at midnight and were warmly received by the local initiates. A fellow practitioner from Germany also joined our team. Prior to the trip, we had contacted fellow practitioners in India to draw up plans and determine the areas for leaflet distribution, including Delhi in the north and Mumbai in the west.

A High-spirited Trip to Delhi

The Indian capital of New Delhi has a high population density and is an ideal spot for reaching out to the people. On the morning of April 20 after group meditation, we and local initiates made a plan to conduct massive distributions of the Alternative Living flyers in Hindi and English in the northeast, southeast, and southwest regions of Delhi. The main targets would be such crowded places as the airport, schools, markets, department stores, bus stations, downtown areas, banks, major road intersections, community centers and bazaars.

Simple and guileless by nature, the Indian people were amazed to find foreigners in their country reminding them to be vegetarian. Many of them accepted the leaflets with wide eyes, but looked back and nodded their thanks. A number of people reached us to ask for the leaflets and many local vegetarians offered their support and encouragement. We met a group of vegetarian friends at Gandhi Park who greeted us cordially. Knowing that we had come all the way from Formosa, they were full of praise for our group. They discussed with us about spiritual practice and expressed their wish to see us again. An Indian lady, touched by the compassionate act, dearly embraced and kissed the sister who was distributing the leaflets, looking at her with thankfulness. Due to the language barrier, she did not say much, though she seemed to have a lot to say. Finally, she uttered, "I love you!" before walking away slowly.

More than forty thousand leaflets were distributed in Delhi on the first day alone. Such a warm response to this act of love encouraged us to immediately inform fellow initiates in Mumbai to print an additional forty thousand leaflets.

Love Blooms in Mumbai

Known as the Gateway of India, Mumbai is the country’s largest seaport and a major transportation hub, and thus a metropolitan city that our Formosan distribution team could not afford to miss. We arrived Mumbai very late at night on April 21. The next day, with help from the local practitioners, we miraculously found a new vegetarian hotel that had not officially opened for business. The owner said his hotel would accommodate only vegetarian lodgers, and he received our team with delight and cordiality when he found that we had come afar from Formosa to promote vegetarianism. We were very thankful that God had arranged such an ideal place for us to recharge in a serene environment.

Three local fellow practitioners had meticulously charted out the distribution routes in Mumbai. Each time before going out, they would patiently explain in detail and then lead us to work in three groups. Each day, we visited the most crowded places in Mumbai to distribute leaflets. Upon returning to our base, we would review the day's progress and discuss improvements for the next day.

On the first day of the distribution, an unforgettable interlude occurred at Bandra Station. A train had just pulled into the station and we promptly grasped the opportunity to distribute leaflets to the enormous stream of people. Suddenly the station manager walked up with a very somber expression. He asked what we were doing and was about to request us to leave. However, after the local fellow practitioners explained our mission to him in detail, he changed his attitude and said with warm hospitality: "Formosa is such a compassionate country. The Indian people are gradually ignoring their spiritual life, and it is time for someone to come forward and remind us!"

Mumbai has a bigger vegetarian population than we expected, and our distribution team often received long praises from local people. Most of the time we could not communicate with them due to the language difference and could only interact by nodding, smiling, and closing our palms together. We were glad to note that there were very few meat stalls in the traditional markets or bazaars. Most sold vegetables, fruits and spices.

During breaks in the distribution schedule, the team came up with new ideas of promotion. For instance, carrying a huge poster on the body as a mobile poster attracted pedestrians to come near and read the contents. Learning words of greeting in the local language, such as, "How are you," "Good morning," "Good evening" and "Thank you very much" very often caused local inhabitants to be attracted by the greetings, which achieved a good advertising effect. Our driver was moved and influenced by our sincerity and work attitude. After parking the car, he would voluntarily set up huge posters and distribute the leaflets. Under this loving atmosphere, more than sixty thousand leaflets were distributed in Mumbai.

Conclusion: Having distributed 110,000 leaflets in four to five days, the Formosan practitioners felt that a miraculous power had been blessing and protecting them during the trip. Sometimes they missed their meals and ate only one meal a day, but as long as they had leaflets in their hands, they would immediately feel spirited and vitalized. This was due to the blessing of God's almighty power.
