Between February 21st and 24th, the biggest jewelry exhibition in Germany, Inhorgenta, was held in Munich. Since the news about the exhibition was received very late, the deadline for applying for an exhibition booth had elapsed. Thanks to God's arrangement, after some twists and turns, we finally secured a booth.

This exhibition is a "heavyweight" in Europe, and only professionals and traders in the jewelry industry are allowed to participate and make purchases. Participating exhibitors included almost a thousand manufacturers who were divided into thirteen sections. Every day, there was a flood of visitors. Though the Celestial Jewelry exhibition booth was small and situated in a remote corner, it received lots of praise and cheers from experts and designers.

When our workers were decorating the booth before the exhibition began, they played a videotape of Master reciting Her poems. A stout security officer came repeatedly to look at our booth. Unable to resist, he asked: "Is it Supreme Master Ching Hai on the video tape?" He knew about Master through his friends, and had only seen Her photo once, yet he was deeply impressed. He is Syrian, and he didn't know why he loved to see Master so much. He enjoyed talking to us. Although strangers, we became like old acquaintances very quickly. Distance cannot keep people with affinity apart. Early on the first morning of the exhibition, just as the Celestial Jewelry was being placed in the display windows, a group of young jewelry designers gathered around and earnestly discussed the jewelry. They truly appreciated the magnificent craftsmanship, the exquisite designs and all other aspects. The Celestial Jewelry, with its highly evolved designs, continually mesmerized jewelry experts during the exhibition.

Most booth owners in the same section as us were jewelry traders. A young trader in Australian opals was very interested in Master's design called "The Hidden Force Connection". He studied it repeatedly and praised Master for Her daring and elegant design. This delicate piece that accounted for the perfect combination of gold and opals really impressed him. He also felt that it was fantastic and special to see the Heavenly Dragon Cutlery that portrayed the nobility of an ancient royal dynasty in modern times. Apart from the Celestial Jewelry, Supreme Master Ching Hai's paintings were also displayed. So when he learnt that Master designs clothes and paints too, he admired Her even more. We gave him some magazines and the sample booklet so he could understand more. An artist was looking for unique and elegant works of art to be exhibited in his gallery. When he saw the Celestial Jewelry, he remarked that even one bracelet alone was an exceptional piece of art, not to mention the entire collection. He left only after he had obtained all the information that he wanted.

A lecturer from an art institute asked for a brief introduction to the Celestial Jewelry. He was very interested because he found the Celestial Jewelry for children embraced the qualities of innocence, humor and the feeling of being carefree.

After appreciating the Celestial Jewelry, a kind jewelry trader offered some advice to us on how to develop our market. After a brief conversation, we discovered that he was a vegetarian since childhood and hates seeing animals being harmed or tortured. Despite being a vegetarian, he is tall and broad. When our topic changed to Supreme Master Ching Hai's artistic ideas and Her spiritual mission, he nodded with approval and said, "I love it!" We couldn't help deeply admiring God's arrangement. In many natural ways, people are given the chance to tap the real source of their infinite treasure.

It is difficult for us to mention all the ladies and gentlemen who visited our booth and made inquiries. We do wish to express our gratitude to the fellow initiates in Germany for their assistance. They eloquently explained to people the divine and transcendental meanings behind the Celestial Jewelry, and so served a spiritual meal to spectators as they gazed at the jewelry. We are even more grateful to the Chef of this spiritual feast -- Supreme Master Ching Hai. It was because of Her that we were able to have such a successful exhibition.
