General
1) Why is God referred to as "Hirm"?
In speaking of God, or the Supreme Spirit, we will use original non-sexist terms to avoid the argument about whether God is a She or a He. She + He = Hes (as in Bless), Her + Him = Hirm (as in Firm), Hers + His = Hiers (as in Dear). Example: When God wants, Hes makes things happen according to Hiers will to suit Hirmself.

Quan Yin Method
Quan Yin Method is not a religion. Religions are generally viewed as about outer virtues and ritual practices. Quan Yin Method is a spiritual practice, through self purification and inner realisation meditation exercises, one can directly contact with God within our own being.
First, you have to understand the Master's teachings and be clear about your reasons for wanting initiation. You also need to be sure that you can commit to 2.5 hours of meditation a day and the 5 precepts (including full time vegetarian) for life. You will need to stay on vegetarian diet for 3 months before initiation - unless the Master is in town to give initiation personally.
It is totally free of charge.
Yes. There is no binding in anyway. The Master offers initiation out of Love to set you free, not to bind.
5) What about Convenient Method?
For Convenient Method, you need to be sure you can commit to half an hour of meditation a day, maintain a pure vegetarian diet for at least ten days per month.
Please contact your local center for more details.
