The
Supreme Master Ching Hai 1993 World Lecture Tour books are beautifully
bound, with the entire set packaged in an attractive box. Each volume
in the series features a full-color photograph of Master on the front
cover, with a specially selected quote by Her on the back. Inside, each
book chapter contains an introduction to the city visited, Master's
lecture given at that location, and the question and answer session
that followed the lecture. As an extra bonus, full-color pictures of
Master in the 16 countries She visited are sprinkled throughout each
book, springing out from the pages like sparkling jewels in the brightest
sunlight.
Along
with the 28 complete lectures presented in these books are the many
questions presented by spiritual seekers during the Tour. In Her patient
and often humorous responses, Master answers each question brilliantly,
illuminating the issue at hand in the best way possible. Opening a page
in any of these volumes reveals an uplifting answer to a question that
may have once been in your mind, even if you don't remember having that
question until you see it asked by someone else!
The
dedication of those who worked alongside Master throughout Tour is also
evident in the reports provided by the News Group. Continually inspired
by Master's love and blessings, these fellow initiates humbly describe
how they were able to go beyond ego, mind, and outside obstacles to
help achieve the truly remarkable work of the 1993 World Lecture Tour.
In
a moving Foreword to Volume 1, an initiate describes Master's embodiment
of selfless love: "Her words do not come out of Her inner needs;
rather they exist because of the needs of others." The teachings
presented in this series illustrate again and again Master's gentleness
of spirit, which is matched only by Her tireless endeavors on our behalf.
She seeks nothing from us, but wishes only to reveal to us our own True
Nature.
Master's
message is expressed in a myriad of ways so that we can find what touches
us most personally in Her words. Similar to the resonance inspired by
Her exquisitely designed outfits, which are said to fulfill the dreams
and visions of those who view Her, Master's words also resonate in our
longing hearts, causing us to "recognize" and realize our
connection with God through Her. Master's remarkable use of language
actually expresses the Love that goes beyond all words. As one initiate
wrote in these books, "Every lecture that Master gives has the
ability to pierce the hearts of listeners. It is as if She is speaking
personally to the individual concerns of each of the many thousands
of people in the audience."
Small
and compact, each book in this series can fit into purse or pocket.
On the bus, at home, or even at work, you can refer to our beloved Master's
illuminating messages over and over again, finding the words of inspiration
you need for any given moment or situation.
