The
director of the Komitas House of Chamber Music granted an interview
with Toma after the Supreme Master Ching Hai gave a lecture at the hall.
Q:
After some time working with the Supreme Master's organization and listening
to the lecture, what do you think about Supreme Master Ching Hai and
the organization?
A:
I shall answer this question
in detail because I have so many impressions that I can not be brief.
You see, I'm very willing to have such a lecture once more. I've worked
with this organization for two days. And during these two days all the
members of the organization became very dear and very close to me. First,
I'd like to mention that I'm very happy to become friends with them.
If there is any opportunity for them to come here again, I'd be very
glad to work with them again. I'll do my best for them to be satisfied.
This lecture will become history for our chamber music hall. It was
magnificent, beautiful. I liked it very much. I'm very impressed with
their teacher, Supreme Master Ching Hai and the good work that She has
done for our nation and for our chamber music hall. After the lecture,
many people came up to me and told about the positive impressions Supreme
Master Ching Hai left on them.
Q:
How do people here in Yerevan welcome Her and Her work, Her love
for Armenia?
A:
I can't speak on behalf of
our nation, but I can say one thing. I can speak on behalf of our staff
and the people who were present at the lecture. They liked it very much,
and they felt it was a pity that it was only Her first visit to Armenia.
I have great respect for the organization, and mainly for the "gifted
person," Supreme Master Ching Hai. I shall remember Her and Her people
forever, for the rest of my life. I can speak on behalf of the whole
of my staff, that they're very eager, both they and I are very eager
to invite Master and Her people here again to Armenia, either to give
a lecture once more or just to be present here as our guests.
Q:
We understand your difficulties due to time constraints in organizing
the lecture. But how did you like being in such a difficult situation?
A:
If it were not close to my
heart, it would not have been a success.
Q:
In the future, if you have the opportunity to work with them again,
would you gladly accept the challenge?
A:
I have already mentioned,
but I'd like to mention it again that I'll be very, very glad and happy
to meet them again, just to have their Teacher again in my Chamber Music
Hall delivering a lecture. I hope that during the next meeting here
in the Chamber Music Hall, there will be better facilities at the Hall.
The money given to the Chamber Music Hall will account for that. It
will improve the present situation of the Chamber Music Hall. Now on
behalf of my staff and me, I'm going to prepare a letter in which I
thank the whole organization, and Supreme Master Ching Hai, and express
my thankfulness.
Q:
Again, thank you for the time you reserved for us. Thank you for your
warm welcome, and your magnificent help during the time Supreme Master
Ching Hai and the organization stayed in Armenia
A:
I hope they'll have a happy
journey back and I'm looking forward to them coming back to Armenia
again soon. I have mentioned it many times, but I am eager to mention
it again, "Welcome to Armenia." So I hope it will be God's
will for them to come here again.
Q:
I just want to know your feedback from your personal experience of your
interactions with Supreme Master Ching Hai.
A:
It is my staff's and
my honor to mention that She is to be the second Mother Teresa in the
world. It was I who said these words first and now my words are announced
and used everywhere around the country. I'm sure that in the future
all our newspapers will write letters thanking Her for the generous
gifts that Supreme Master Ching Hai has given. I promise that I myself
will collect all these stories about Her, all these letters thanking
Her for everything and send them to the organization. I will keep my
promise, by all means. Those who were present at the lecture told me
that they were very impressed. They liked it very much, and they felt
it was a pity that She left so soon. She left Yerevan to go to the Genocide
Memorial and Gjumry and Vanadzor, and they hope to see Her just to enjoy
Her presence more, just to communicate with Her, just to feel Her soul
feeling them.
Q:
On behalf of the Association, thank you very much for your time. You
must be God's messenger, and that's why you helped to do the miraculous
job of inviting Supreme Master Ching Hai to come and give a lecture
within two short days.
A:
I wish Master to be healthy
and wealthy for a long, long period of time, for everyone to hear of
Her, that She's very good, very healthy, and to have everyone in the
world that is in a very bad condition, not only in the material aspect
but also in the spiritual see Her. So I thank Her very, very much. She
did us a great favor. Thank you very much.
