Hsihu absolutely amazed reporters.

Usually, when I come to Hsihu, I seldom find any stories that please my Chief Editor. I'm told stories are supposed to be dramatic, full of conflicts and of controversial content. Neither can I find any themes preferred by the modern media. On ordinary Sundays when thousands of people gather in Hsihu, the adults meditate beneath the trees and rest in hammocks; the children play happily. The atmosphere is always tranquil and peaceful.

It was entirely different today. The Ching Hai Day Celebration was the prelude for the 7-Day Retreat, and attracted an attendance of over six thousand people from more than thirty countries worldwide. There were many world class and highly talented performances. All participants arrived 'gorgeously dressed'! Even the reporters, who are used to rushing around with a camera dangling behind, came to cover the event wearing ceremonial attire featuring Chinese, foreign, ancient and modern styles. Having worked as a reporter for over a decade, my usual attire consisted of casual clothes, jeans and dresses. I never dreamt of working in a low-cut gown, picking up a skirt that expanded like a balloon, and wearing silver coloured high-heeled shoes.

Even more amazing was that, I forsook the "principles and spirit in news reporting" that I had acquired through my career of over ten years, and strolled aimlessly but delightfully about the Center. In my stammering foreign languages, I conversed naturally with guests and fellow initiates from Japan, Au Lac, South Africa and other countries. Now and then, I would stop to watch the cute little flowers and plants permeated bliss; or I would sit under the big trees in a daze, appreciating the resplendent attire that my peers would rarely have a chance to see.

My job on Ching Hai Day was like a beautiful dream. This dream implied a drastic change of time, and presented a vision of the Golden Era. I remember, in one paragraph of the book "Revelation Of The Future", the superior beings from other planets described the future life of Earth people (which is the life of the extraterrestrial beings now):

They love to sing,
Their songs reveal a dear and loving spirit.
Praising the Creator,
Sing and praise love,
Wishing everyone can find the supreme bliss... 
They love to dance,
In the hills or on the streets.
Where there are people, there is dancing.
Songs are friends, and so are dances.
Fast and explosive dances,
Slow and elegant dances,
Amid the singing of good friends, they start to dance. 
Their world is forever in peace,
Dissolved and unified in one enormous life form,
The whole world is permeated by love and harmony.
The humans on these planets
have Seemingly transformed into a unified current of life...

This dream reminds us not to indulge in the materialistic, instant culture of our time, or to tolerate spiritual deficiency anymore. From this, I also understood that, behind a materially sumptuous life-style, it is possible to find a pure and serene state of mind, instead of a degenerated and rotten one. The 7-Day Retreat following Ching Hai Day was a perfect example that exemplified this dream.

Having relished the delicious vegetarian cakes, over five thousand fellow initiates changed their fanciful clothes into casual track suits, or simple attire, and meditated in the Main Forest Hall or beneath the trees nearby. Contented smiles were apparent on their faces.

Everyday around noon, there was a one-hour "sharing of experiences" session, which gave me great inspiration. Most encouraging was that the scope of the experiences had widened from illness healing and soul elevation, to the future of Earth, humans and the universe.

An expert of UFO studies wrote an article on how he met extraterrestrial beings with the help from a person who knew their language. The extraterrestrial beings told him, "Extraterrestrial beings will officially visit Earth in the year 2001 AD" (Refer to June edition of the Crown Magazine.) This, and the report by an American initiate, corresponded: In her vision, she saw extraterrestrial beings paying respect to Master in front of over tens of thousands of initiates.

Possessing a supernatural vibrational power, the Japanese author Funa-i Yuki-o pointed out in his book, "Revelations Of The Future," that the vibration of Earth has been obviously elevated, starting from around 1986. After a check, I found that this was the year Master began preaching. All this information made me feel more certain about the Quan Yin Method, and have greater admiration for Master.

Now that fellow Quan Yin initiates are increasing in number in each corner of the world, adding that they are very diligent, and becoming more positive in thought, obviously and definitely the dream of the Golden Era will soon materialize!
