Reunion Celebration

The following day, Master and fellow practitioners were treated to a sumptuous vegetarian feast by the cooking team. A wide array of international delicacies was served to the hungry guests, who piled their plates high with food, while enjoying a lively performance by initiates from around the world, and a number of professional Aulacese musicians.

After everyone had eaten, Master arrived in a beautiful light blue dress, and the performance began. The first act was an exhilarating Middle Eastern belly dance by an initiate from California, followed by a touching unaccompanied song by a little initiate from Mainland China entitled "Thank You, Master-Love is Indeed a Source of Wealth." Afterwards, two lovely guitar duets, a lively dance, a pop vocal duet, and an energetic Aulacese martial arts demonstration by young people gave everyone pleasure. Master took the microphone after the martial arts performance to give a brief history of the Vovinam (literally, Aulacese Kung Fu), demonstrated by the performers and its influence on Au Lac as a self-defense force and source of cultural unity throughout the centuries.

Afterwards, two professional Aulacese singers gave a moving rendition of poems from Master's collection, "The Lost Memories," accompanied by traditional Aulacese monochord and multi-stringed instruments and a bamboo flute. Finally, a series of highly polished songs sung by an array of professional Aulacese singers rounded out the evening's performance, and the celebration drew to a close.
