Blessed by Master’s infinite grace, our planet Earth experienced a major purification in the year 2003, ringing in a real Christmas worthy of a grand celebration. So on December 21, over four thousand fellow initiates and their friends and relatives gathered for a delightful Christmas fair at the Hsihu Center.

Highly fascinating entertainment programs brightened the day for everyone. For instance, a Santa Claus band filled the air with the merry and inspirational tones of Christmas carols as the musicians danced around the Center, enlivening Hsihu’s atmosphere and receiving rounds of laughter and applause. The day’s activities featured more than just brilliant entertainment, however; there was also an unending supply of delicious vegetarian delicacies and an enormous variety of innovative games, sponsored by centers around Fromosa. As one guest observed, “I really admire Supreme Master Ching Hai for her courage. For more than a decade, She has led you in transforming this place into a beautiful center. This is no easy task.” A fellow initiate from China also shared his heartfelt impressions, saying, “I’m so grateful for Master’s incredible arrangement in letting me participate in this grand Christmas celebration of the new era.

Throughout my stay in Formosa, I’ve been in the company of saints, and can feel Master’s elevating power more strongly each day. Seeing over four thousand people participate in this Christmas fair, and sharing in the joyful birth of saints, I deeply appreciate Master’s great contribution to elevating the planet!”
