In the middle
of March, fellow practitioners in Indonesia as well as their relatives and friends
who longed to see Master finally had their wishes fulfilled. It had been fours
years since Indonesian fellow initiates (the earliest ones) had last seen Master.
This unexpected visit by Master
to Surabaya brought tremendous delight and encouragement to fellow practitioners
here. Upon receiving the good news, everyone joyfully and quickly launched into
preparations to welcome Master.
The eventful gathering was
held in the Rainbow Hall of the Shangrila Hotel. Fellow practitioners and guests
cherished these four precious hours and had a wonderful time with Master.
That evening, Supreme Master Ching Hai
wore a traditional royal Javanese costume, which made us, the Indonesians, feel
proud. Master looked so noble and graceful, like a gentle and charming Javanese
princess. All the Indonesian guest were mesmerized, and they hoped Supreme Master Ching Hai would stay longer in Indonesia to help more Indonesians.
Master let us ask questions,
and patiently resolved all our doubts, until fellow practitioners and guests
were fully satisfied. Our thirst for so many years was finally quenched!
Later, there was an initiation
which lasted until after midnight. Due to the large number of people requesting
initiation, some of them could not get initiated until the next morning. Though
we all hoped Master would stay longer so we could benefit from Her personal
teaching, She could only grace us with one night.
The next day, before Master
left Surabaya, She squeezed in some time to visit the Vegetarian House operated
by the Surabaya Center. We are very grateful to Master for Her love and blessings.
Till we meet again!
