Spiritual Practice And Beauty

The International Jewelry Exhibition was held in London, England from September 8-11. Fellow practitioners in Paris, along with their relatives, received news that the S.M. Celestial Jewelry would be on display at the exhibition. In order to seize this rare opportunity to see the S.M. Celestial Jewelry up close, they set off on a special trip to London.

Surrounding the Celestial Jewelry display cases, fellow practitioners stood in awe, exclaiming, "What exquisite art pieces! Even the best photographers cannot capture the brilliance of these Celestial Jewelry pieces; their radiance dazzles the eyes - the glimmering gold contrasted with its unique shapes appeals to the visual sense.

Yes! Only when we see them in person can we truly appreciate the wisdom, loving energy, supreme talent and extraodinary courage, all crystallized within the Celestial Jewelry. Fellow practitioners were satiated with the glowing colors of heaven. Their hearts were full of joy and with wide eyes, they selected their favorite Celestial Jewelry to try on. As souvenirs, they took pictures next to the Celestial Jewelry booth display.

There was a French fellow practitioner's mother who also received an invitation to attend the exhibition. She had been busy with her career before she retired; and now that she has retired, she is busy with housework. So she seldom has the time to read Master's books or magazines. However, this time, she took a rare trip from Paris to London to enjoy the Celestial Jewelry. On that day, she especially wore her Celestial ring, "Pure Lotus, given to her by her son as a birthday gift. Her face glowing with health and vigor, one could see that the light of heaven has already shone into her heart. Looking at the art pieces, she felt that the Celestial Jewelry carried a message from her far away Hometown into her soul.

A few Englishmen came to know about Master a few days earlier through the spiritual display booths. They were very interested in Master, the spiritual Master of the time, who happens to also design jewelry. They especially came to visit the S.M. Celestial Jewelry booth to see for themselves Master's works of art. They informed us that they have never seen a spiritual Master who can use the radiance of jewelry to express the spiritual doctrine so well.

This jewelry exhibition gathered all the well-known jewelers together. Everyone leisurely wandered among the booths, glancing here and there. There was a middle-aged couple hurriedly passing through the crowd as if they had some urgent business to take care of. However, when they passed by the S.M. Celestial Jewelry booth, the lady suddenly stopped, turned around, pointed at the "God's Children piece in the display case, and laughed heartily, just like a child, pure and innocent. Most people think that gold and diamonds tap at human greed. However, the Celestial Jewelry, composed of gold and diamonds, awakens the purity and elegance of human nature.

Two jewelry designers were very impressed by the S.M. Celestial Jewelry. From their professional standpoint in the jewelry business, they greatly appreciated the Celestial Jewelry. When they were informed that Master has never had any formal training in jewelry design, they indeed admired Her, and knew that the inspiration of Her work is beyond this world. The S.M. Celestial Jewelry expressed extraordinary artistic talent, combining the soul of the craftsman and the heart of the spiritual Master. They asked for Master's sample booklet and truly wanted to learn more about Her teachings. When they arrived at the TV booth playing Master's videotape, they coincidentally saw Master giving Her speech at the Celestial Fashion Show, saying, "Because Truth, virtue and beauty are manifestations of God, we cannot say that beauty and spiritual practice are not related.

After visiting the Celestial Jewelry exhibition, fellow practitioners happily returned to Paris. With hearts full of gratitude, they thanked Master for introducing the beauty of heaven here on earth, pushing us to walk forward to Truth, virtue and beauty on our spiritual path.
