The
S.M. Celestial Jewelry Exhibition at the Supreme Master Ching Hai International
Association Vegetarian House in San Jose attracted a constant stream
of spectators. Though most had never heard of Master, they were greatly
impressed by Her jewelry designs. When they later learned that She was
a spiritual teacher, they began to read the sample books available at
the venue, and thus came to know more about Her.

One
of the spectators was a goldsmith with over ten years' of work experience.
When he looked at the Heavenly Dragon cutlery, he thought that the collection
had been borrowed from elsewhere just for the exhibition, because he
did not believe that the Heavenly Dragon teapot could be manufactured
in such a short period of time. In his judgment, it would have taken
three artisans many years to complete such a superb piece of craftsmanship.
However, it took only one artisan a short time to finish the masterpiece.
Thus we can see that Master's creations transcend the technological
limitations of the mundane world.
One
eighty-year-old lady who visited the exhibit had migrated to the United
States many years ago, yet she thought that Master's Celestial Jewelry
designs were like nothing she had ever seen. When she discovered that
the designer was a spiritual master, she took a sample booklet and some
News magazines, and purchased an ornamental item bearing Master's photo.
Wearing the piece with Master's image, she came again the next day with
her daughter, and told us that when many people saw Master's picture,
they praised Her great beauty. However, the old lady added that it is
not important whether She is beautiful or not; in her opinion, the most
important thing is that She has peerless wisdom.
Many
restaurant customers came for dinner and were overjoyed at the chance
to see the unique and gorgeous jewelry. Several customers had gotten
tired of commercial jewelry, and had been searching for jewelry by a
spiritual teacher. When they saw Master's pieces, their excitement was
beyond description.
All
these accounts demonstrate that Master's Celestial Jewelry not only
touches people's hearts through its beauty and extraordinary technological
level, but also, at a deeper level, inspires souls through its profound
spiritual meanings.
