A Boutique Selling S.M. Celestial Clothes and Jewelry Is Opened

/By Sister Initiate Yong-Xiang Lee, Hong Kong

On January 23rd, a beautiful person graced a very beautiful shop in Macau (Shop H, G/F., China Plaza -- 774 Avenida da Praia Grande) to meet everyone. It was the inauguration ceremony of the S.M. Boutique in Macau, and our charming Master had come to cut the ribbon and attend the cocktail party afterwards.

The S.M. Boutique is situated in the most busy and prosperous area in Macau. In a very short time, fellow initiates found an ideal shop and completed the renovation, just like in a fairy tale. God's almighty power made their dream miraculously come true -- the S.M. Boutique has been opened in Macau. Previously, not many shops in the Zhong Hua Plaza had been rented out as the rental was very expensive. After the opening of the S.M. Boutique, other shops joined in and turned the Plaza into a busy shopping arcade.

Early that morning, a large crowd including guests from all professions, fellow initiates and their relatives and friends, gathered outside the S.M. Boutique. Among them were fellow initiates from Hong Kong, mainland China and other places. Also coming to the event were martial art movie stars from Hong Kong, and fashion designers from Macau. Fully adorned by flower baskets from friends and other groups, the shop looked as though it was a boutique in heaven. Enhanced by the flowers, the Celestial Clothes on display and even the mannequins wearing them looked exceptionally elegant and charming. In the glass cabinets, the Celestial Jewelry were exuding their mesmerizing radiance, while the S.M. Bags, rucksacks, and silk scarves made people feel they were in God's beauty parlor.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, on the long tables placed in the hall of Zhong Hua Plaza, a great variety of Chinese and Western vegetarian delicacies were all in readiness. The fragrance of nonalcoholic champagne and fruit juices welcomed the arrival of the S.M. Chief Designer. Master arrived at two o'clock sharp, together with VIPs from the Macau government, Dr. Rodrigo Antonio De Carvalho, M.I. Presidente Do Tribunal De Contas, and Professor Amilcar Pinto Martins who came to attend the cocktail party. Master inspected the decoration and display arrangement in the Boutique, while chatting cordially with guests and fellow initiates. Among those people enjoying the abundant delicacies, some were wearing Celestial Clothes, or carrying S.M. rucksacks or handbags, with Celestial Jewelry shining on their chests, or wearing dazzling rings designed by Master on their fingers. Our fellow initiates had a relaxed and happy afternoon in the S.M. Boutique.

At about four in the afternoon, Master cut the ribbon outside the boutique, and then bid farewell to the guests. When She was alone with disciples later, She reminded us: instead of only looking at Master, we should care for the guests immaculately because they were "more important than Master". Master also didn't forget to teach fellow initiates the way to treat other people. When Master and disciples had to part, it was a reluctant parting.

Owing to the inauguration of the S.M. Boutique, Master made this brief trip to Macau, giving infinite life and brightness to this small island.
