Highlights

It is a blessing and God’s grace to a country if an Enlightened Master can come to share the Truth in that country. Master not only teaches us the way to attain the ultimate Truth, but also reminds us to follow the examples of the Saints to be kind, virtuous, polite, wise, truthful and be a true gentleman. Birthdays and weddings are happy events. We should share this happiness by being compassionate and preserving life. However, most wedding receptions often involve the killing of animals and cause them suffering. What, then, is the correct way to celebrate such occasions? Since our five generations are elevated after we are initiated, is it necessary to continue worshipping our ancestors? When we cannot avoid following the custom, how should we handle the situation?
