“…you go and do latihan and that’s where the miracle happens. In the latihan you completely forget that you are with people from a different culture and afterwards you feel there is no boundary between you…. and you start then to share with people. This is really truly what Bapak meant when he said that you really need to feel one with humanity.” Heloise Jackson, Former International Helper on her visit to Subud Kinshasa, DR Congo.
