Report from Formosa

A New Era of
Spiritual Living

 

At the invitation of the sponsors, a seminar introducing Master's teachings is conducted at the Kaohsiung International Book Exhibition.

[Kaohsiung] From February 10 to 18, 2001, the Kaohsiung International Book Exhibition, southern Formosa's largest book fair, was held at the Kaohsiung World Trade Center. Several hundred publishers from more than twenty countries displayed hundreds of thousands of books at the exhibition, which was inaugurated by Premier Chang Chun-hsiung. Among the numerous exhibits at the Book Exhibition, a 36-language interactive DVD introducing Master entitled "Walk the Path of Love" attracted considerable attention in Zone A of the Exhibition arena. This advanced audiovisual product, released by the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association Publishing Co., Ltd., underscored the public's growing interest in spiritual information in recent years.

Master's lecture, presented on a big screen TV, drew the attention of many visitors. "It gives an indescribable feeling of fascination!" said one Catholic observer. Many remained absorbed in Master's paintings for a long time, convinced that these artworks transcend the mind. Some, as though just having discovered a treasure, purchased several volumes of "the Key of Immediate Enlightenment" series. A number of Truth-seekers requested more information about Master, as well as sample booklets and News magazines, and some humbly approached our members with spiritual questions. They expressed great admiration for Master's generosity and compassion, after learning from our staff about Her teachings and charitable acts of helping needy people around the world. These visitors also left happily with sample booklets and News magazines to share with their friends and relatives.

The initiates' romantic, artistic design of Master's booth gave visitors a serene, uplifting feeling. Her multilingual publications, sophisticated Longevity Lamps, and inspiring paintings silently conveyed the spiritual esthetics of transcendence, and gave the otherwise commercial book exhibition a refreshing touch.

Master's booth at the Kaohsiung International Book Exhibition radiates a spectrum of spiritual light.

Kaoping fellow initiates were invited by the sponsors to present a brilliant ethnic dance performance at the book exhibition's opening ceremony, and received loud rounds of applause and requests for an encore from the delighted audience. During the exhibition, a seminar on "Supreme Master Ching Hai and the Quan Yin Method" was conducted by a Quan Yin messenger. At the seminar, a video introducing Master and Her videotaped May 5, 2000 lecture in the Taoyuan County Stadium were presented, and many questions were raised and satisfactorily answered. This successful seminar added a dimension of spiritual radiance to the 2001 Kaohsiung International Book Exhibition.
