Attending a Street Fair
in Sunnyvale

Spiritual seekers traveled from a distant town to visit our booth at The First Annual Sunnyvale International Street Faire.

[Silicon Valley] On September 23, 2000 at the invitation of the inhabitants of Sunnyvale City, the heart of California's Silicon Valley, The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association, San Jose Center, participated in the First Annual Sunnyvale International Street Faire. This joyful celebration of ethnic diversity featured costumes, dances, food, art and cultural traditions from various local community groups. A vegetarian food booth staffed by members of The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association attracted a large crowd of vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike, resulting in everyone's satisfaction and enthusiastic endorsement. Those in attendance also had an opportunity to visit our display table to inquire about the Quan Yin Method and learn more about The Supreme Master Ching Hai's teachings. Touchingly, some of these spiritual seekers had traveled by bus from a distant part of another town to partake in this event. They were regular listeners of the popular local Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association radio program, broadcast daily in San Jose and surrounding areas in several languages, including Aulacese, Chinese, English and Spanish.
