The
teachings of Supreme Ching Hai were introduced amidst the swarming mass of
tourists and pilgrims busy venerating the Bodh Ashram where Shakyamuni Buddha
attained enlightenment.
When
many of the tourists and pilgrims saw the beautiful pictures of Master, they
simultaneously asked who She was. Tour guides even brought tourists to enquire
about Master's sample booklet. A curious atmosphere developed and people wanted
to know exactly what Master taught. How different was She from others who taught
enlightenment? How could She confer immediate enlightenment?
A
video show was arranged by fellow initiates at a local monastery; they chose
"The Mystery Of The World Beyond," Master's lecture at the United Nations. The
audience consisted of an Australian Buddhist monk, an Indian Catholic priest,
some western pilgrims, and Indians. Master's talk was highly appreciated and
everyone laughed at Her jokes. People hoped to read Master's books for further
study and reference.
