Celebrating Buddha's Birthday
by Sharing Master's Wisdom

by Ajay Shrestha, Kathmandu Center

[Kathmandu] On the holy day of May 4, 2004, the 2548th anniversary of Lord Shakyamuni Buddha's birth, fellow practitioners from the Kathmandu Center distributed copies of The Key of Immediate Enlightenment sample booklet to local residents. The initiates felt that by sharing Master's teachings, Her positive loving power would help raise the consciousness of the people and lead their country into a peaceful state.


 

Beginning in the morning, the Quan Yin practitioners gathered at the Swayambhu Nath*, a holy place for both Hindus and Buddhists, to distribute Master's booklets. Passersby were very eager to learn about meditation and a true Master, and many were surprised to receive such an exceptional publication bearing a beautiful photo of Master free of charge. Some could not believe that it was free and even tried paying for their copies.

The brothers and sisters were very happy to discuss Master and meditation as the environment was peaceful and the weather pleasant, making it easy to share the supreme teachings. Everyone felt that Master's blessing was with them that day because it had rained on the previous few days and everything went better than planned. The Nepalese initiates are confident that through Master's blessings peace and prosperity will prevail in their homeland.

* The Swayambhu Nath is the most famous temple in Kathmandu. Because many wild monkeys reside around the temple, it is also is known as The Monkey Temple.
