After 
            a series of public performances, the Love Ocean Art Ensemble has made 
            a name for itself in Formosa. On September 22, 2001, the group was 
            honorably invited to and performed in a program at the triangular 
            auditorium of the National Science and Technology Museum in Kaohsiung. 
            The museum integrates creativity, science, the arts, and the humanities 
            in its exhibitions, and often invites prominent entertainment groups 
            to perform there.
            
            
The elaborately-planned 
            event began with a Chinese zither recital, followed by choral singing 
            that captivated the hearts of audience members. Next, a piano and 
            violin duet gave immense pleasure to music lovers, who also enjoyed 
            a tenor's singing, which left the whole auditorium reverberating with 
            the sound of his vibrant voice. The audience also cheered and applauded 
            a brilliant folk dance, followed by a romantic musical dialogue between 
            a harp and a flute that pushed the event to a soul-elevating climax.
            
          
          
          
The 
            performance by fellow practitioners at the National Science and Technology 
            Museum may be regarded as another form of Truth-sharing. Through the 
            initiates' artistic expression of Truth, goodness, and beauty, the 
            audience was uplifted in its level of consciousness. The lively, cheerful, 
            optimistic and creative demeanor of the new-millennium spiritual practitioners 
            erased from people's minds the conservative, solemn, and rigid impressions 
            of the past. In her speech at the event, Legislator Hsiao Chin-lan 
            lauded members of the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association 
            for their professionalism, although they were merely amateur art lovers. 
            Their successful performance proved to be a feast of music on an early 
            autumn afternoon!
