Exhibition of Master's Paintings

From August 26 to September 6 of 1999, a ten -day exhibition of Supreme Master Ching Hai's paintings was held at an art museum in Ulan Bator, the capital of Mongolia. A picture of Master was displayed outside the museum. It was vividly painted by a volunteer artist, based on the picture on the cover of Master's Spanish sample booklet.

Many renowned artists came to the exhibition, and were in awe of Master's various styles of painting, leaving warm comments and signatures in the visitors' book. Many people took sample booklets and News Magazines. A few days after the exhibition, an artist came to the vegetarian restaurant, opened by would-be initiates, to look for the contact person so that he could learn from Master and practice the Quan Yin Method. His sincerity moved everyone present.
