We
had the privilege of getting the details of a concert produced by Supreme
Master Ching Hai International Association to be held at the Shrine Auditorium
on December 18th at 8:00 p.m. Trang Vo, a staffer of the producer, provided
a very impressive cast of the show. However, the background of this humanitarian
and producer showed in the past performances that in 1991 Mt. Pinatubo Volcanic
eruption; 1993 Southern California fires; the Oklahoma City bombing; the 1994
Northridge earthquake, including numerous charities and causes like the American
Cancer Society, the American Foundation for AIDS research, the International
Red Cross, the Salvation Army, Department of Veteran Affairs, Health Education
Alternative Liaison (HEAL) the Cotonou Infant's in terms of cash donation
and manpower in implementing its relief capabilities.
The
Group is under the guidance of the original member singer/songwriter Alan
Jardine, the lead vocalist of "Help Me Rhonda," a new exciting incarnation,
of the Beach Boys, who will begin touring this fall.
He
has many film scores to his credit. But Peace Seeker was specifically written
to be set around the beautiful lyrics of Supreme Master Ching Hai which reflects
the inspirational message of the evening.
The foundation is composed
of a diverse group of people from different professions, religious, cultural
backgrounds and world regions. Through their sponsored concerts and performances
they strive to make a difference in the world by acting with love and compassion.
Ching Hai believes that "compassion is the key to bringing peace on earth
and attaining peace a visible reality."
