A Dazzling Spiritual Treasure

-- The Sensational Celestial Jewelry Exhibition In Taipei

Recorded By Taipei News Group, Formosa

Scenes At The Venue - Exclamations Invoked By Beauty

On the opening day of the exhibition, many TV reporters came to the press conference and started hunting for focal-point news with their astute and professional eyes. Especially recommended by the organizer, the S. M. Celestial Jewelry stood out remarkably from the numerous world renowned manufacturers, and had become the focus of different media groups. Many TV news teams conducted live coverage at the S.M. Celestial Jewelry exhibition booth; the reporters were deeply impressed both by the Celestial Jewelry and the spectacular crowd of spectators gathered there.

When the spectators were admiring the Celestial Jewelry, their inner nobility was naturally invoked. As they tried on the flawless Celestial Jewelry, their dignified and glorious inner nature was revealed. At that moment of heart to heart contact with the Celestial Jewelry, the noble and benign nature of their souls began to shimmer.

In a triangular show case right behind the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Cutlery, Master's most recent artistic creation -- the S.M. Celestial Bags -- made their debut. Each of them was uniquely styled in vibrant colors, enhancing the exhibition venue with a refreshing ambiance. As Master's musical compositions were being played, waves of spectators flowed to the exhibition booth. On the right of the S.M. Celestial Bags showcase was a giant poster of Master wearing a blue Au Lac royal gown. Her compassionate smile caught the attention of every spectator and warmed their hearts. On the left of the S.M. Celestial Bags was another huge poster, in which Master looked extremely graceful and magnificent, watching the crowd with a super-worldly bearing. Everyone who passed by stopped to admire Her gentleness and nobility. At the venue, curious spectators asked each other: "Who is that noble lady?"

During the exhibition, many people were moved by Master's magnificent demeanor and sincerely asked questions of the fellow practitioners present. Their enquiries began with the Celestial Jewelry and Bags designed by Master, and then proceeded to Her spiritual adventure in the Himalayas, Her preaching task in Formosa and Her charitable deeds in relieving world disasters. They were also very interested in the Quan Yin Method which She imparts to people who long to pursue spiritual practice. In those few days, there was a continuous stream of people asking for the sample booklets and News magazines. Fellow practitioners on duty at the venue then realized that Master was using the exhibition of Celestial Jewelry as a tool to benefit and deliver more sentient beings.

The most outstanding piece of the exhibition was the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Cutlery that rocked the world and transcended time. Spectators were charmed, and reporters were mesmerized. Meticulously, they tried hard to capture the magnificence of this collection with their cameras. A fellow sister at the exhibition clearly sensed the merciful blessings being emitted from the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Cutlery, making her feel extremely comfortable as if riding a dragon soaring high in heaven.

A close inspection of this Heavenly Dragon Imperial Cutlery set reveals that Master has incredibly combined the bowls and chopsticks of the East with the fork and knife of the West; a beautiful harmony is obvious in this cutlery set. The coffee cup, fork and knife, typical in Western cutlery layout, are carved with the heavenly dragon, a symbol of nobility in Eastern tradition. The message seems to be: Humankind should transcend the notion of national boundaries, live with each other in love and harmony, and share the cultural beauty that God has bestowed upon them all. On the other bowls are carved pairs of dragons and phoenixes, denoting the inner qualities of peace, harmony and unification. Through the Heavenly Dragon Cutlery set, Master presents to the world an exquisite spiritual delicacy. Each piece of Celestial Jewelry reveals an esoteric message from the universe; enhanced by the blessing of an enlightened Master, they indiscernibly elevate the spiritual level of humankind.

A Designer Of Love And Sincerity

Dr. Gubelin, the most esteemed gemstone expert in the world, highly acclaimed the Celestial Jewelry by the great artistic Master -- Supreme Master Ching Hai!
Right: Madam Yu Seng Chang.

The most respected authority of the world in gemology and geology, Dr. Edward J. Gubelin, was invited to give a seminar tour in Formosa along with this International Jewelry Exhibition. He has the reputation of "no treasure can escape his eyes". Possessing numerous honors in the field of gemology, he is the founder of the Gubelin Precious Stones Appraisal and Research Center in Belgium, and has also been appointed the expert consultant of the world's two largest auction houses -- Sotheby and Chester. Dr. Gubelin has been conducting research on precious stone deposits in rocks for over sixty years. This time, he specially visited the Celestial Jewelry exhibition booth, accompanied by the Executive Director of the Formosan Jewelry and Antique Trading Center, Madam Yu Seng Chang.

After a close study of the Celestial Jewelry, Dr. Gubelin expressed that it was the honor of his life to see and touch the Celestial Jewelry designed by Supreme Master Ching Hai. Each item impressed him deeply as they were uniquely and fashionably styled. He highly praised the designer for being able to create artistic artifacts out of crude materials, and yet be in accord with the modern society -- an exceptional achievement indeed! He also applauded Supreme Master Ching Hai for designing each piece of jewelry with an exclusive theme. For instance, the "Meditating Quan Yin Bodhisattva" of the children's collection is rich in Egyptian characteristics, while the "Tao" in the collection for men is very extraordinary and elegant. He remarked that the Korean people would love this set, because Tai Chi is the symbol of Korea, representing the equilibrium of yin and yang. After a careful study of "To The Other Shore" in the ladies' collection, he commented that the set featuring the blue Turkish stones was most beautiful and elegant, and was his favorite.

When he first took a glance at the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Cutlery set, he immediately pointed out that the interior and exterior of the Heavenly Dragon tea bowl were individually finished with a matt and glossy gold surface, a brilliant example in contrasting design.

With admiration, he noticed that the designer had, within each collection, considerately taken care of both sexes. For example: "E.T." in the collection for children, a tie-pin for boys had been cleverly included. The "Future Buddha" set was designed for ladies, but there was an octagonal tie-pin with a lightning pattern. Similarly, a tie-pin was also found in the "Born Anew" collection for ladies.

From the different themes and artistic approaches in Her design, Dr. Gubelin perceived Supreme Master Ching Hai's intention to care for all sentient beings, as shown by the love and sincerity in Her designs.

In the venue was a beautiful photo of the designer -- Supreme Master Ching Hai -- and he gazed at it for a very long time. The image of this enlightened person who also possesses superb artistic talents had impressed him deeply.

This electrifying encounter of the S.M. Celestial Jewelry with the world's authority in gemology was truly a sensational meeting.

The Indescribable Love And Vibration Conveyed By The Celestial Jewelry

The Deputy Director of the Production and Design Department of the American Pearls Company, Mr. C. Y. Sheng, is a professional jewelry designer; his bearing is full of artistic taste. Having attended innumerable international jewelry exhibitions, he came this time to the Celestial Jewelry exhibition booth.

His favorite was the "Hidden Force Connection". At first sight, he fell in love with this set. Still looking at it, he said that it was impossible to describe the feeling when he gazed at it; he just felt very comfortable all over. He was particularly impressed by the shape of the earrings, and their beautiful contours and design. The "Hidden Force Connection" set features simple contours, but it stirred his intuition and associated thinking. He admired the designer -- Supreme Master Ching Hai -- for being able to conceive such a great variety of styles and shapes.

The neighboring booth belonged to the Four Seasons Jewelry Company. Their president, Mr. Peter Wong, had also participated in the America Jewelry Exhibition earlier this year, and thus had seen the Celestial Jewelry once before. While appreciating Master's creations he said, "These jewelry pieces should belong to the European school of artistic design. They are very different from the Asian or American ways of jewelry design."

Hoping to know more about this designer of beauty, Mr. Peter Wong took a copy of the News magazine with the pictures of the S.M. Celestial Jewelry -- children's collection -- on the cover.

Glory And Beauty All In One!

-- Models Feel Like Queens When Wearing The Celestial Jewelry --

The Celestial Jewelry designed by Supreme Master Ching Hai also appeared in the dynamic show featuring fashionable clothing and jewelry, held at the Formosa World Trade Center.

The Hi Fashion Division Director, Mr. Kris Fang, is a popular director in Formosa. He is young but has taste, and is artistically rich. When he vetted through the photos of the jewelry submitted by the participants, he was immediately attracted by the exceptional designs of the S.M. Celestial Jewelry. Since the S.M. Celestial Jewelry was the only collection that offered items for both men and women, he quickly created a performance featuring a man and a woman to convey the noble and supra-worldly spiritual nature of the collection through an entertaining form of expression. The effect was wonderful!

The male model, Mr. Ryan Son, was of Korean nationality. At first sight of the "Tao" from the collection for men, he exclaimed delightfully because the Tai Chi symbol is the favorite of the Korean people. Trying on the jewelry in front of the mirror, he felt extremely contented. The female model, Miss Beeya Yang, from Formosa, is a typical modern young girl before she dresses up. Once she tried on the set entitled "Born Anew" from the ladies' collection of Celestial Jewelry, she immediately exhibited an exceptional and noble bearing. According to her, a spectator in the front row told her backstage: When the models went on the catwalk wearing the S.M. Celestial Jewelry, there seemed to be an invisible director guiding them. Their every movement became very fluid and natural, and made the show a great success. Miss Yang delightfully said that when she was wearing the "Born Anew" set, her whole body felt very pleasant. The sizes of the items in this collection are larger than the usual jewelry; they look graceful and magnificent, and are suitable for most occasions. She loved best the star and moon on the ring which looked very special and beautiful.

Tall and slim in figure, Miss Judy Yao was responsible for exhibiting many sets of the Celestial Jewelry. Her favorite was the elegantly styled bracelet from the "The Little Angel" set. She felt "Seeing With The Soul" was magnificent and graceful, and made her feel like a queen. Therefore, she displayed this set of jewelry thinking that she was a queen. The day after the premiere, photos of her performance were printed prominently in color in the newspapers, and were used as illustrations in articles covering the jewelry exhibition. Immediately after the successful conclusion of the dynamic show, the stage director, Mr. Kris Fang, wanted very much to know who was the

designer of the Celestial Jewelry. He had seen numerous jewelry designs, but only the designer of the Celestial Jewelry used genuine precious metal and gems to produce jewelry high in artistic value. Take the "Born Anew" set of jewelry for example, corals normally end up looking very old fashioned in most designs, but in the Celestial Jewelry collection, they looked attractive, lively, unique and trendy. The designer was really daring and avant-garde in Her design. When he knew that the designer had never studied jewelry design, but is an enlightened person, he became even more intrigued.

His favorite was the necklace - "Within And Without" made with South Seas pearls. He just couldn't forget them after he saw them. Upon hearing the explanation that these oversized South Seas pearls symbolize human beings transmigrating repeatedly in this world in different roles, and that the red portion of the S.M. logo represents the human body while the golden portion in the middle represents the glorious soul, he sank into deep contemplation.

Following the interview, he asked us to remember to send him a copy of the report. He believed this unique experience in his career would inspire him to probe deeper into the meaning of life.

The Forerunner Of Our Time

Mr. Li Zhon Long was the recipient of the "World's Most Courageous Reporter" commendation awarded by Supreme Master Ching Hai, and is now with the Commercial Times specializing in reporting industrial and commercial events in Formosa. All the while, he has been very interested in the activities of the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association. Therefore, he specially found some time to visit the Celestial Jewelry exhibition booth.

He looked at the displayed items attentively and noticed the natural and primitive designs of the children's collection, especially "Meditating Quan Yin Bodhisattva" and "The Little Angel". With his rich experience in marketing trends, he predicted that the S.M. Celestial Jewelry would be the leader of the future trend in jewelry design.

The Celestial Jewelry, made of pure gold, is crafted into primitive and simple shapes. He applauded Supreme Master Ching Hai as the forerunner of modern trends, the first to use precious gold to create artistic artifacts with natural and primitive taste. Her unique designs are different from other trendy jewelry.

Spectators Of The Celestial Jewelry Also Radiate The Light!

By Sister Initiate Lin Xiu Zhu, Taipei, Formosa

With an intense longing, I went to the grand and enormous venue of the International Jewelry Exhibition. By instinct, I followed the direction of the biggest crowd, and immediately saw the noble and loving gaze of Master in Her poster. Having squeezed pass the crowd, I was dazzled by the radiance of the Celestial Jewelry, which even brightened up the faces of the spectators. I felt as if I was in fairy land, because these items should only exist in heaven. Now that their brilliance has appeared in this world, everyone was reluctant to leave. People were simply intoxicated and felt like they were heavenly beings mesmerized by Master's creations of love and wisdom.

As aeons have gone by, Mother Earth has borne these pure and beautiful mineral stones that contain the love of the universe, and reverberate the sounds of the greatness of the Earth. Through Master's ethereal creation many souls have brightened up. She has unveiled the supra-worldly nature of the jewelry, and even bestowed a precious meaning upon their existence as the message from the Heavenly Kingdom radiates from them. Through close inspection of each piece of Celestial Jewelry, we find that each of Master's designs reminds us of the noble nature of our soul, and urges us to seek our original nature. Our great Master! You truly have grand expectations and love for this group of "future Buddhas"!

Bathing in Master's heavenly light, I was overwhelmed by bliss and gratitude and couldn't withhold my tears. At the same time, I felt that I was also radiating bright light!¸1

Precious Teachings Of The Celestial Jewelry

By Sister Rui Zu, Taipei, Formosa

The first time I wore the ring from the "Positive Victory" set, I was immediately engulfed in Master's exceptional blessing power. Drunk in the soft and sweet inner sound current, I enjoyed the most splendid experience. This very realistic love power filled me with self-confidence and love; I was reluctant to take the ring off even when I went to sleep!

Wearing my best clothes and the Celestial Jewelry, I went to the exhibition venue. As I approached the S.M. Celestial Jewelry exhibition booth, I felt an extraordinary ambiance. I was deeply magnetized by Master's vibration that filled me with bliss!

When the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Cutlery appeared before my eyes, my blissful soul was shocked by the strong blessing power emitting from the S.M. logo at the bottom of the bowl! The great vibrational force that created the universe has driven this auspicious dragon, riding the cosmic sound current and traversing space and time, to descend upon earth.

To every item displayed, Master has given a poetic sense of life that touches everyone's hearts; they were mirrors reflecting Master's flawless quality. With Her exceptional talents, She guides people with different afinity and backgrounds to step onto the path of enlightenment and liberation, a big road that leads to the source of life.

Hidden in the Celestial Jewelry is Master's universal love that gives contentment and happiness to bless everyone, and allows them to taste the supreme spiritual bliss. Therefore, the Celestial Jewelry exhibitions are actually wordless scriptures of Master's teachings. They convey the joy of Truth, goodness and beauty to all, and lead them to seek the perfection and liberty of their souls.

Epilogue: This grand occasion in the year of 1996 has ended. Through Master's Celestial Jewelry, many blessed people came to know about the Quan Yin Method, and have tied an affinity with the great spiritual Master. We hope, under Her blessing, their appreciation of art and aesthetics will elevate, and they will eventually taste God's divine love, get the initiation and enlightenment, and let their wisdom blossom. We further hope that every native inhabitant of the Heavenly Kingdom will soon return Home, and again enter God's golden halls.
