Heavenly
Music Manifests in Our World

Master's
poems convey the hardships on the path of Truth and Her compassion
for those who tread the wrong path! Her poetic verses, carrying the
concept of universal oneness between the lines, express such profound
realizations and deep love that they are the best source for artistic
and creative inspiration. Master says that musicians and artists are
half-saints. At the concert, the beautiful notes written by the composer
touched the heartstrings of man, who also directed scores of other
musicians in harmonious and rhythmic play. The wholeness of Master's
works was beautifully and smoothly expressed by a team of musicians
demonstrating complete command over each note and bringing the atmosphere
to a climactic peak! Their performance, along with the great blessing
power from God, Saints, and Master's great love, touched the hearts
of everyone present. Some people went into samadhi, some shed tears,
and some felt numb all over as though they had suffered electric shocks!
Some were exalted, and some had moments of enlightenment and realizations!
As the great Amitabha Sutra says, "In the eternal, blissful World
of the West, the wind blows at treasure trees playing ever-lasting
music, and birds chirp wonderful tunes. When the sentient beings hear
these songs, they are purified and attain higher levels." This
usually exists only in the higher dimensions, but in the heavenly
atmosphere of the Concert, it was manifested in our world today.
This
was the first time ever that I had enjoyed a symphony. What a rare
blessing in the universe it was to be in such an excellent theater
with such a perfect sound system and an exceptional orchestra directed
by an outstanding conductor, and also to listen to Master singing!
I was able to attend the concert and bathe in the vast ocean of love.
It gave me an opportunity to see for myself the wonderful methods
Master has created to lead us to enlightenment. The saints use all
kinds of methods to lead us to the Truth. They lecture, chant, and
meditate, which we often see used as the conventional methods in the
world. It is truly an innovation to use artistic creations, such as
lanterns, paintings, celestial clothing and jewelry, and a symphonic
performance to convey the teachings. Master transforms spiritual teachings
into an art form that elevates our spirituality. Her methods are not
only superb, but diverse and innovative as well. I can only say that
our Master is the master of all masters! No other words can better
express my feelings!
