Front LineThe Quan Yin Method WWW Home By News Group, Pennsylvania, USA (Originally In English) The launching of the World Wide Web (WWW for short) has provided a magical pass to all the internet users in every country, for them to surf freely in the world of multimedia. This innovation that opens up cybernetic space is the latest favorite of people who are serious about self improvement. World Wide Web is a new communication tool on the international computer network (Internet). Tens of thousands of servers provide numerous services and information on various topics. An information provider can be as large as the government of a nation, or as small as a college student. They have equal opportunities to provide a space (called a homepage) on the network and invite everyone to their "homes". All computer users on various networks throughout the world can visit these servers through a WWW browser. No passwords are needed, which means that one can freely travel in the multimedia world without even asking the hosts -- the doors are always open. Several fellow initiates in the USA, Canada, and Formosa joined the new trend and started servers to spread Master's teachings voluntarily through the World Wide Web. At this moment, information in the Quan Yin Method WWW Home Page includes the sample booklet, News magazines from issue #33 to the latest issue, new book information, information on the Vegetarian Houses; and a news bulletin. To reach more people worldwide, documents are available in various languages (English, Chinese, and Au Lac language) and five different formats -- two Chinese code formats and two Au Lac language formats plus an English format.) To take advantage of electronic communication, the servers even allow visitors to send electronic mail messages to fellow initiates on-line. This two-way communication enables the visitors to know more about our method in a convenient way. Since it is very easy to update information in the server, we can keep visitors posted about the latest activities of our organization. When Master was on tour with the Worldwide S.M. Celestial Fashion Show, for instance, information about this tour was also spread around the world through the WWW server. Our Quan Yin Method WWWs are also linked by several famous servers such as Yahoo, Virtual Library, and SPIRIT-WWW so that people who are interested in spiritual practice can find our servers more easily. It is estimated that there are one to two thousand visitors to our servers each month, some of whom came to know Master and our method for the first time from the servers, and got initiated later.

(in USA) Quan Yin Method Appears On The Computer NetworkBy Fellow Initiate Liou, Hsinchu, Formosa In Formosa, an electronic bulletin board service (BBS) exists on the TANET (Formosan Academic Network) that attracts tens of thousands of people to log in, access information, and linger there each day. Through the BBS, people can freely exchange opinions and thoughts . Fellow initiates have managed to apply for and establish a discussion area called "Inner Light and Sound" on a very popular BBS. On the one hand, it is designed to introduce the Quan Yin Method and Master's teachings; on the other hand, it serves the purpose of promoting a healthy vegetarian diet and of reminding people to uplift their own spiritual levels in the material world. Because the BBS on the TANET is connected to the Internet (the world's largest international computer network), this discussion area is open to the whole world. Anyone can post articles and exchange ideas there. Many people have expressed the view that it is not easy to have such a board in the vast network world. An interesting incident occurred when the board was proposed on the BBS. According to the rules at that time, to create a new board, someone had to apply for it, and a certain number of people on the network had to second the proposal . The brother who was in charge of this project was worried that students and many people in academic institutions would be on vacation during the summer session, and he was concerned about the outcome. To his surprise, the proposal was warmly supported by a large number of people. The number who seconded the proposal exceeded the requirement soon after he officially sent the application. Thank Master that now more people can get in touch with the Quan Yin Method through the computer network! Information about the BBS - AphorismsBy Suma Ching Hai (Originally In English) We should practice for the sake of wisdom alone, for the sake of knowing ourselves, for the sake of knowing the origin of our home and to be free, loving and happy. That's all there is. |
