[Missouri] Around Christmas time, Golden Year 5 (2008), initiates from the Missouri Center contacted the Rolla Public Library to exhibit Master’s paintings and longevity lamps for one month, starting January 2. Upon immediate approval, 11 paintings were hung on the walls and several lamps were displayed in a glass cabinet inside the library. After the set-up of the exhibition had been completed, the initiates instantly felt that the whole library brightened. On the third day of the exhibit, one of the library staff called and told the initiates that a customer saw the paintings and asked about their purchasing information.

The following week when the initiates went back to the library, they discovered with delight that both of Master’s books The Noble Wilds and The Birds in My Life that they had given to the library had been catalogued and placed on the new arrivals book shelf. Later, the initiates brought more eco-friendly shopping bags with Alternative Living and SOS messages imprinted on them to the library, and requested that these bags be given away to their customers instead of using plastic bags. They also left many pens with the SOS message and the Supreme Master TV website on the counter for everyone to take. Two days later, a librarian called the initiates and thanked them for the bags and pens.

Fellow initiates are ever grateful to see that the divine beauty of Master’s art creations and Her books have touched the hearts of those who have the opportunity to see them. They will strive to bring more positive messages to the community around them.

[Austin] The Austin Center participated in a Lunar New Year festival organized by the Aulacese (Vietnamese) Community in Austin, Texas, on Saturday, January 17, Golden Year 6 (2009). Together with the initiates from the Houston Center, they set up a booth and distributed thousands of flyers on climate change and Alternative Living as well as bags with the SOS message. All day long, they played selected Supreme Master TV Animal World shows and a DVD on the urgent global warming situation. Many people were really interested in the message. They stopped to watch and also asked questions. Some even volunteered to help distribute the SOS bags, while others wore them on their front and back to serve as “mobile advertising boards.” Their enthusiasm and love added to the joyful atmosphere of this auspicious festival. May more people join the mission of saving the planet in the Year of the Ox!

[Los Angeles] At the 27th Annual Tet Festival in Garden Grove, a young boy was holding Master’s book The Noble Wilds as if it was his favorite toy and said, “I like this book very much, but I don’t know if my mom has the money to pay for it. I love animals, and I am a vegetarian!” His compassion for animals and his happiness warmed the hearts of our Association members who decided to give him this wonderful book as a gift. The boy smiled like an angel and told his mother that he would keep the book with him every day!
 

With approximately 300,000 visitors, the Tet Festival was held from January 30 to February 1, Golden Year 6 (2009), where the initiates from Los Angeles spread the SOS global warming message by distributing over 10,000 Alternative Living/Supreme Master TV reusable shopping bags and various informative materials. They also played the SOS DVD and displayed some of Master’s newest publications. A lady who purchased The Noble Wilds told the initiates that she appreciated not only the beauty of the book, but also the beauty of Master’s unconditional love. She said, “I believe that all animals are noble, they understand, and they also have emotions.” May more people in the community join the circle of Sainthood by going veg to save the planet!

[Santa Clara] On December 13, Golden Year 5 (2008), Silicon Valley interfaith organizations and community leaders from diverse sectors joined together at the 6th Annual “Carry the Vision Community Nonviolence Conference" at Santa Clara University, California, to address issues of mutual concern, exchange current good works, and explore possibilities for improvement.

Our Association members were honored to participate in the event. They displayed Master’s publications at their booth, and in some of the many workshops which included topics such as promoting peace and harmony, caring more for all of Earth’s co-inhabitants, and the environment and sustainability. A few speakers and guests shared their visions and thoughts on the meaning of nonviolence with Supreme Master TV. SOS flyers and Master’s sample booklets were also distributed. Our Association members were especially encouraged by the high spiritual consciousness of the attendees, many of whom were already vegetarians and viewers of Supreme Master TV.

[San Jose] On January 17 and 18, Golden Year 6 (2009), near the main entrance of the annual Tet Festival, our Association members greeted the visitors to their booth that was beautifully decorated with Master’s large photo, art work as well as Alternative Living and SOS posters. Delicious vegetarian food samples were provided and Supreme Master TV programs were shown continuously on a large flat screen. Some visitors remarked with admiration and amazement that they had never seen any television programs with so many subtitles! A local TV news channel filmed their booth.

The initiates were delighted to meet many listeners of a local radio station where they have been broadcasting Master’s teachings over the years. Some expressed their gratitude for the radio programs, many having informed them about global warming and its most effective solution the vegetarian/vegan diet of which a number of them have already adopted. The two-day festival was filled with love, joy, fun and laughter.

[Tampa] The Florida State Fair is a Sunshine State tradition in its 105th year that took place from February 5 to 16, Golden Year 6 (2009) in Tampa, featuring arts, crafts, entertainment, food as well as rides, games and attractions. About 500,000 visitors and over 1,000 vendors participated in this event. Among them was the Loving Hut vegan restaurant that served healthy, exquisitely prepared food and drinks. Many people commented that they wished they had found Loving Hut sooner and that the food was the best at the fair. A neighboring vendor told Loving Hut that although his company paid for the employees’ meals, he and his co-workers preferred to eat at Loving Hut every day. A 20-year vegan actress and model was overjoyed to have Loving Hut right next to her booth.

Our Association members from Florida, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina and Boston also joined the fair to distribute over 70,000 SOS flyers, 7,000 Loving Hut business cards and share Master’s loving message. With our continuous efforts, may more people soon turn to the vegan lifestyle and learn to live in harmony with all beings on the planet.
