Highlights

"You meditate better at the meditation center because there your heart is sincere. Of course, it's more helpful because you know that when you come to the center, you can put everything else down. No one will bother you. You know that your time is all for yourself. So, it helps in that way. Just because your heart is pure, the center helps you. But if you don't come with a sincere motive, even though you're in God's presence, you won't feel anything."

Topics Addressed

Before the retreat ended, Master told the practitioners, "You now have to go back to your real life. Sometimes, real life is also fun." Please consider Master's thoughtful advice and encouragement.
Do you wonder how Master cares for the parrots she has adopted? Master's heartfelt love for these birds provides an invaluable example for us in cultivating our own love and compassion.
What is the difference between meditating at home and meditating at the Center? How can we obtain the greatest benefit from meditation? Please listen to Master's wise advice on these topics.
Master told the practitioners more than a dozen interesting jokes and stories during the retreat, some of which are entertaining and others of which are thought-provoking. Why did Master tell all these jokes? Have you perceived or received Master's grace and mercy from listening to Her jokes?
Master took a group of practitioners to see her secret hideout and said, "You're special so I'm showing you my special, secret hideout. Don't tell anyone else. It's just between you and me." Please enjoy Master's fun-loving spirit and the very special way in which She treated the practitioners.
Master told the initiates, "Dogs can bless you with a lot of love and devotion. You can learn from them." Have we paid attention to or learned the lessons that God has arranged for us in this world, including those of dogs?
We have all eaten watermelons, but not many people know this beautiful story associated with the fruit. Master's story about an Aulacese prince and watermelons adds a sacred aura to this popular fruit that most of us enjoy.
