Academics of Singapore recently raised up a heat wave. Reputable publishers from all over the world gathered together at Singapore's largest exhibition center - the World Trade Center - for the International Books Fair. This year's fair was the largest ever. It attracted tens of thousands of people daily and it injected fruitful, spiritual food into the rich, material life of Singapore.
Due to the blessing of Master, fellow practitioners fortunately obtained a very spacious stall at one corner of the fair. Besides displaying books, Master's exquisite and unequalled artistic works also appeared for the eyes of the public. The book shelves were positioned such that they could be moved easily according to the degree of crowd congestion. Tables and chairs were also thoughtfully placed to let many people who were reluctant to leave enjoy spiritual meals in comfort.
Although the inner level of practice is invisible to the eyes, the respect for Master could be seen in facial expressions. The person in charge of the Raddha Soami stall, immediately brought over a cart full of authentic Indian nan bread when he learnt that we were the disciples of Supreme Ching Hai. The next day, he again warmly brought over various kinds of vegetarian food. It amply showed the open-minded approach of spiritual practitioners.
When our fellow practitioners passed by the stall of a very famous Yoga practitioner, the person in charge told fellow practitioners that they were a meditation organization. When fellow practitioners said that our Guru was Supreme Ching Hai, she immediately replied in a very respectful tone, "I know Her", and indicated that she had already visited Master's stall.
The manager of a Sri Lankan book store repeatedly came to visit our stall. He was yearning for a chance to meet Master in order to further resolve his problems with practice. But because of work commitments, he had to return to his country when the fair was over. Thus he left his address in Sri Lanka with us so he could receive Master's news magazine.
After coming into initial contact with Master's teachings, many people were yearning to understand more deeply the Truth of life and the true nature of the universe. They all came to the Center with their friends and families to buy books and to discuss their doubts. Before the book fair was over, there were scores of people registering to learn the Convenient Method. One of them who had learned a meditation method similar to the Quan Yin Method and had practiced for more than ten years, still remained at the initial level. But when she learned that the would-be initiates who had just started to practice the Convenient Method were having very high level experiences and were enjoying bliss daily, it made her very envious indeed.
There was one traditional Chinese medicine doctor from mainland China who had heard of Master and the Quan Yin Method on the mainland. He also possessed some of Master's books and had been a vegetarian for a long time. He yearned to practice but did not know how to contact us. The Heavenly Lord does not disappoint those who strive. Unexpectedly it was a joyous meeting at the fair. He immediately bought many books to prepare for further, deeper studies
