So Wonderful Is The Celestial Jewelry! -- Los Angeles Shaken With Admiration   By Brother Initiate Tony Chu, Los Angeles, CA U.S.A.

The Pacific Jewelry Exhibition is the most outstanding annual function of the jewelry circle in southern California. The venue this year was the Century Plaza Hotel in Beverly Hills - one of the most popular places of interest for the celebrities in Los Angeles. The exhibition this year was more lively and unusual because of the participation of the S.M. Celestial Jewelry.

Hearing the news of the impending exhibition, all the fellow practitioners in the Los Angeles area were very excited. Though the exhibition was meant mainly for jewelry merchants, and the general public were not entertained, the overwhelming desire of fellow practitioners to see the Celestial Jewelry was irresistible. Before the exhibition officially commenced on August 24, fellow practitioners arrived at the venue very early, dressed in their best attire as if they were going to a grand ball. It was more than obvious how excited they were.

When a stream of fellow practitioners entered the venue, the whole place was still very quiet as if just waking up, but waves of happy cheering were already heard at our booth. Not only did everyone have the blessing to see the grandeur of the Celestial Jewelry in person, but they even got the chance to try it on. The Heavenly Dragon Cutlery Set in particular displayed celestial and exceptional ambiance. Watching and trying, all the fellow practitioners laughed joyfully. In no time at all, they had created a cheerful atmosphere that permeated the entire venue! At the S.M. Celestial Jewelry booth, one could distinctly sense the blessing of Master's infinite love. A fellow sister, who came from faraway to help, was always in a blissful state throughout the three days. After the event, she revealed that whenever she was in the venue, she could hear the inner sound current.

The natural and contented laughter that burst forth from the S.M. Celestial Jewelry booth attracted the attention of the staff in the other exhibiting units and the jewelry merchants visiting the show. With curiosity and admiration, they came nearer to our booth trying to find out what rare and exotic items were being displayed. When they saw the Celestial Jewelry, they instantly became like the fellow practitioners - having only laughter and contentment on their faces.

The purchaser of a chain department store, after appreciating the Celestial Jewelry, kept praising that only Neiman Marcus - the most prestigious department store in the States - would be suitable for marketing the Celestial Jewelry. There was also a jewelry designer who incessantly applauded the Celestial Jewelry. In the three days of the exhibition, he visited our booth several times, and even brought his friends along. A jewelry merchant who deeply believed in astrology, was mesmerized by the Heavenly Dragon Cutlery Set when he first saw it. He proclaimed, "They are designed exclusively for royal members, and are absolutely full of royal taste and bearing. Knowing that Supreme Master Ching Hai was the designer, he was keen to know more about Her. He came back again the next day for the sample booklet.

Simultaneously, the video of the Celestial Clothes Fashion Show was broadcasted at the venue. When the spectators found that both the Celestial Clothes and Jewelry were created from Master's heavenly ideas, they looked extremely amazed. They kept admiring Master as a rare talent hard to find on this Earth.

Delightedly, they took the sample booklets and magazines. We were deeply moved by the incredible ways that Master uses to deliver sentient beings. Thinking that we have such a great Master, we couldn't help but laugh more heartily.

Apart from the local fellow practitioners, the Jewelry Exhibition also attracted fellow practitioners from San Jose, and even as far as from New York and the northern states near Canada. Coming from such a distance, these friends were so glad to have the chance to appreciate these precious treasures on Earth. When they placed orders for the Celestial Jewelry, they were excited to have secured a gift from God. We are so thankful to Master for Her merciful permission to exhibit the Celestial Jewelry in Los Angeles. Subsequently, the fortunate spectators, through the Celestial Jewelry, had the opportunity to experience their heavenly glory within. They also had a taste of Master's loving blessing which gave them a feeling of heavenly bliss.

After the exhibition was over, we had a chance to introspect. This wonderful experience incited us to learn from each other, and to practice more assiduously to follow Master's example - to transform the earth into a paradise, and to share with all sentient beings the bliss of liberation.
