Indonesia's first ever International Jewelry Exhibition was held in the prestigious Balai Sidang Convention Centre in Jakarta in mid July. It was blessed with the display of Master's Celestial Jewelry.

The exhibition of the Celestial Jewelry brought special meaning to the Jakarta fellow practitioners, many of whom have never had the opportunity to see Master in person nor the real Celestial Jewelry being exhibited in total. With the inner longing and sincerity in becoming Master's helpers to accomplish the task at hand, fellow practitioners participating in setting up the booth and taking turns to assist visitors during the exhibition. They could feel and witnessed that Master had actually pre-arranged everything to make the whole exhibition a learning experience for them.

Miracles prevailed throughout the exhibition, beginning with the booth's location which was strategically situated and most accessible to all, enjoying not only the prime and unobstructed front space, but also became one of the first few booths visited by the guest of honor, the wife of the Foreign Minister of Indonesia on Preview Night. Then, there was a special local TV report on the exhibition, featuring Master's creation, the Heavenly Dragon Cutlery set as the most unusual exhibit of the whole event.

Treating the event as another way of propagating the dharma, the Indonesian fellow practitioners prepared a place in the booth to display Master's sample booklets and the Supreme Master Ching Hai News magazines; a TV set and videocassette player were also set up, showing Master's lectures from different parts of the world. To brighten up the otherwise monotonous enclosure, the top of the partitions of the booth were decorated with a soft bluish-green velvet skirting of varying tones. The display showcases were similarly adorned with a dark bluish-velvet as backdrop for the Celestial Jewelry. Posters of Master wearing Her jewelry creations were also hung in the center and other more strategic locations.

On the first day of the exhibition, many fellow practitioners were so enthusiastic that they ventured outside the booth to distribute sample booklets to visitors. As a result, the space immediately outside the SM booth became very crowded. For the convenience of visitors to pass through, fellow practitioners immediately displayed the sample booklets and flyers in acrylic stands on top of the jewelry showcase. Despite the absence of fellow practitioners handing out sample booklets and flyers, visitors were continuously attracted to the Celestial Jewelry and soon started to crowd in the front of the booth. Practically everyone present voluntarily requested a copy of the flyer and sample booklet.

A blissful atmosphere in and around the booth prevailed throughout the duration of the exhibition. It was really amazing to observe that almost every visitor was holding a copy of the sample booklet. Many of the visitors were also spiritual seekers and they started to make enquiries about Master and Her teachings, wanting to visit the Center to learn the Convenient Method.

During the exhibition, news reporters and many visitors were particularly attracted to Master's latest additions to the Heavenly Dragon Series, especially the Teacup which was only completed one day before the exhibition; and Jakarta was really blessed to have Master's permission to be the first to view and display it. A visitor who identified himself as a collector, and two other groups of visitors, came twice to view the Heavenly Dragon Cutlery and immediately offered to buy the Teacup to add to their collection and as gifts to their parents to grace their coming grand birthday celebrations.

Furthermore, during the exhibition, an Australian visitor came to view the Celestial Jewelry and was overwhelmed by what he had seen. He commented that of all the jewelry exhibits that he has seen in Australia and other parts of the world, the Celestial Jewelry represented the most unique and refreshing creations of all. He left full of praise for Master and Her artistic talent and wisdom, taking along with him a copy of the sample booklet and flyer introducing the Celestial Jewelry.

The Chinese representative of a Belgium diamond exhibitor became extremely friendly after the first day and came to express his views about Master's creations. In his opinion, the Celestial Jewelry appeared to encompass and express the essence of multi-racial and multi-culturalism, with a touch of the lost ancient beauty not conceivable by modern man. To support his views, he cited that the "Little Angel" set appeared to reflect middle Eastern/Egyptian culture; the "Heavenly Dragon Cutlery" projects the image of the Ching Dynasty in its glorious era; the "Future Buddha" reflects hues of the natural environment, while "Positive Victory" bears a European cultural semblance. He even went further to suggest the addition of watches to the Celestial Jewelry so that one could see Master's portrait each time one looks at the watch and be reminded of Her unconditional love. He felt that the purpose for Master's creations was not commercial gain but to elevate mankind to a higher level of consciousness. At the end of the lengthy conversation, he requested a copy of the sample booklet in Chinese to further understand Master's teachings. We thanked him for sharing his observations and thoughts with us.

Although the exhibition lasted only three days, many fellow practitioners from different parts of Indonesia took leave to come to view the Celestial Jewelry and all returned home with blissful feelings of satisfaction. Many fellow practitioners also placed orders for the Celestial Jewelry they loved. Even though the exhibition is now over, the wonderful memories still linger. All, especially the Jakarta fellow practitioners, felt so honored and loved to have been given the opportunity to participate in the exhibition of Master's Celestial Jewelry. Thank You, Master!
