Sweet encounters at Ohlone College (in Fremont, Claifornia)
It was a very sweet experience distributing books at Ohlone College. One student was so happy and excited to have found our meditation books that she took them and gave a good donation. The donation she gave was meant to be used for buying her college textbooks. Instead, she was glad to use the money for getting the "best education." She emphasized the need for this education in the world today.

One student who had came to the table was just flipping through the books and wasn't looking so much interested. Suddenly she read something from the Science of Self Realization and was very amazed to read about the perfection a yogi can achieve, "One can become smaller than the atom." She read that out loud to other students who were there. Hearing that, all of them took the books. It is amazing how one sentence from the books can change the mind of the person.
(she's in with the attached group photo) Another student who came to the table said that he is starting to get more into spirituality and was looking for books, but didn't have anything to donate at this point. He promised donate later after going home, through a transfer. Seeing his sincere desire, I gave him the books, and later in the night he kept his promise by sending the donation online and sending much more than he was planning to give.
