Vegetarian Era
Cooking with Love
Brings Many Blessings

My two children attend La-Sal School,
a Catholic school near my home, with students ranging from kindergarten
to the high school level. I have a tailor’s shop and everyone
in my family is initiated. At first, my children’s teachers
did not feel it was correct for children to eat vegetarian. But with
Master’s blessing, they now see the benefits that it has brought
my family and possibly for themselves.
Before, I had cancer; but now it’s
gone! Also, my children are strong and healthy, both physically and
mentally. Seeing how healthy my family has become with the vegetarian
diet, some teachers began taking an interest. And on May 24, Golden
Year 3 (2006), they invited me to demonstrate healthful vegetarian
cooking to the students and teachers at the school.
Fellow initiates came and lovingly
helped to show people how easy it is to be vegetarian and to explain
its immense benefits. Besides cooking, we also brought the Alternative
Living flyers. Some teachers were surprised at how delicious the food
was; they never imagined that there could be so many wonderful dishes.
It made them appreciate and better realize the value of being vegetarian.
Through this blessed food
that we shared, the students and teachers were very full, physically
and spiritually! As the students became more interested, they understood
the reasons for being vegetarian, and they told us that they would
bring our flyers to their parents. One lady teacher from Cameroon
told us that she was very happy to meet us and that she wanted to
change her lifestyle. She said she was interested in the Quan Yin
Method of meditation, so we gave her a sample booklet and prayed to
God to bless her. Thanks to Master’s grace, we were able to
share our love, cooking skills, vegetarian information and the compassionate
lifestyle of the Alternative Living flyer.
