[Los
Angeles] The annual China Expo USA is one of the
biggest fairs held by Chinese communities in the United States. It
is a bridge for economic, cultural, artistic and spiritual exchanges
between East and West, attracting several hundred thousand people
each year. This year, the Los Angeles Center took part in the Expo,
which was held during the busy Christmas season.
Since
ours is a non-profit organization, our booth was scheduled to be set
up in the "miscellaneous" area of exhibits. However, just
two days before the Expo began, we received a surprise notification
that we could move to the art exhibition area, and fellow practitioners
were delighted, for we had prepared several of Master's artistic masterpieces
for display.
During
the three-day exhibition, we could feel that the entire venue was
permeated with Master's blessings, as visitors moved around in an
atmosphere of love and peace. Master's booth shone with the special
light of spirituality. Its elegant and unique style attracted many
visitors who stopped to appreciate our exhibit. Some earnestly inquired
about Master's teachings or watched Her videotapes, while others purchased
books or tasted the vegetarian food we offered. Our booth was the
most brilliant and crowded at the Expo.
One visitor
gave us a pleasant surprise when she told us that she was a fellow
initiate from Sichuan Province in Mainland China, and had been greatly
troubled when she was not previously able to contact our group or
participate in group meditation after arriving in the US. Several
exhibitors from other booths visited us frequently, and some acquired
books or watched the videotapes being presented. They enjoyed their
visits so much that they were reluctant to leave. Besides, some of
the guests told us that they had watched Master's TV program "A
Journey through Aesthetic Realms" and liked Master and Her teachings
very much.
The China
Expo USA ended on a successful note with Master's blessings. Through
this activity, we hoped to share Master's teachings with the public
and thus help the Light and Love of God shine over every corner of
the world, so that we may all usher in a brilliant future hand in
hand during the new century.
