            and 
            Spirit 
            Festival
          
          [Brisbane] 
            On May 4-6, 2002, the Brisbane Center again participated 
            in the annual three-day Body, Mind and Spirit Festival held at the 
            Brisbane Convention Center. This year, over a hundred exhibitors at 
            the Festival offered a wide range of interesting information on relaxation 
            and meditation techniques, sound therapy, yoga, feng shui (geomancy) 
            and vegetarian cooking with demonstrations. 
          The organizer estimated that over ten thousand visitors 
            attended the three-day event, including many from distant places. 
            Brisbane initiates took shifts working at the booth, answering inquiries 
            and distributing most of our sample booklets and flyers. Many visitors 
            were interested in the Quan Yin Method and expressed their intention 
            to visit the Brisbane Center to learn more about the Method. Some 
            visitors were delightfully surprised to learn that the initiates were 
            participating in the festival for the sole purpose of sharing the 
            joy and benefits of practicing the Quan Yin Method, which is offered 
            free of charge to all. 
          Numerous visitors expressed their respect and admiration 
            for Master and the Quan Yin Method, with some enthusiastically encouraging 
            their friends to come and ask for sample booklets. The local initiates 
            were touched and inspired by the guests' sincerity, and realized that 
            spreading the message of the Quan Yin Method is itself a reward that 
            helps us grow in our spiritual cultivation.
