Held in the prestigious Grand Hotel in Kaoshiung, the first Asian Expansion Summit conference held in Asia was cause for excitement among many leading Scientology pioneers of Asia. Attendees flew in from different parts of the world with Japan, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, China, Australia, England, America, France, Germany and Austria all represented.
The highlight of the event was the awards presented to the Scientology Volunteer Ministers who have been working hands-on at the tsunami disaster sites for the last three months. They were awarded for their humanitarian care and support at a time when it was most needed.
Over a period of three days, this fast-paced conference outlined the Church’s objectives to bring true help throughout all of Asia.
One conference attendee announced that he will open a new Scientology mission this year in Sri Lanka and another stated he would do the same in Indonesia to help the burgeoning group of new practitioners in that country.
Due to popular demand in each of the four tsunami-hit countries, mobile training units will travel through the towns and villages training local people to be Dianetics counselors and to teach them the successful techniques of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers.
To address other social situations in Asia, the conference attendees tabled many possible ideas and announced that as well as providing spiritual training, educational assistance will be given by Applied Scholastics in Sri Lanka and Malaysia. The drug problem in Malaysia will also receive special attention and there will be wide distribution of the non-religious moral code The Way
to Happiness in Thailand, India and Sri Lanka.
In the words of one attendee from Kaoshiung: “It is so wonderful that the people we helped after the tsunami are now able to move on with their lives and to see them re-building their communities. These people are spiritually strong again. Our help has been requested once more, and this conference has made it possible to embark on very exciting campaigns that will provide educational skills, raise moral awareness and offer Scientology and Dianetics services.” She added, “It is heart-warming to have this many people come together for the purpose of helping our people in Asia; we have been most honored to have this conference in our city.”
