Aroha and solidarity rang out loud and clear across Christchurch's Hagley Park as tens of thousands attended a vigil to remember those killed in the mosque massacres.

People, sitting on picnic blankets and on chairs, turned to strangers and embraced, others wiped their partners tears and women wore headscarves to show their solidarity.

Speakers stood on a stage meant for the Bryan Adams concert cancelled a week earlier, and in front of them a sea of people sat in absolute silence as the names of the 50 killed were read out by the Linwood mosque Imam Ibrahim Abdul Halim.

Come along to our free public lecture: on Saturday, April 6th between 10.30 -1 pm, at Turanga/Central Library, 60 Cathedral Square, Central Christchurch.

For many people, it is time to explore a deeper meaning of life — to know thyself‚ as the ancient philosophers urged. One way to do this is through studying with the Rosicrucian Order.

You will explore how the human mind works, learn self healing techniques, unleash your full creative potential, empower yourself to achieve new goals, practise effective meditation to realise inner peace and harmony, and most importantly, discover your mystical connection with the universe. All this is done through home learning and personal experimentation, although there are local groups to join if you wish.

The Rosicrucian Order AMORC is nonprofit, non-religious, non-political. It is an international organisation — the largest of its kind in the western world — of educators, students and seekers exploring inner wisdom and the meaning of life.

To find out if The Rosicrucian Order can benefit you, go to the website www.amorc.org.au, or for the free, no obligation booklet Mastery Of Life phone 027 552 7777, or email nzrc@amorc.org.au
