Heavenly Music Manifests in Our World
By Brother Initiate Su Youde, Kaoping, Formosa
Master's poems convey the hardships on the path of Truth and Her compassion
for those who tread the wrong path! Her poetic verses, carrying the concept
of universal oneness between the lines, express such profound realizations
and deep love that they are the best source for artistic and creative inspiration.
Master says that musicians and artists are half-saints. At the concert,
the beautiful notes written by the composer touched the heartstrings of
man, who also directed scores of other musicians in harmonious and rhythmic
play. The wholeness of Master's works was beautifully and smoothly expressed
by a team of musicians demonstrating complete command over each note and
bringing the atmosphere to a climactic peak! Their performance, along with
the great blessing power from God, Saints, and Master's great love, touched
the hearts of everyone present. Some people went into samadhi, some shed
tears, and some felt numb all over as though they had suffered electric
shocks! Some were exalted, and some had moments of enlightenment and realizations!
As the great Amitabha Sutra says, "In the eternal, blissful World
of the West, the wind blows at treasure trees playing ever-lasting music,
and birds chirp wonderful tunes. When the sentient beings hear these songs,
they are purified and attain higher levels." This usually exists only
in the higher dimensions, but in the heavenly atmosphere of the Concert,
it was manifested in our world today.
This was the first time ever that I had enjoyed a symphony. What a rare
blessing in the universe it was to be in such an excellent theater with
such a perfect sound system and an exceptional orchestra directed by an
outstanding conductor, and also to listen to Master singing! I was able
to attend the concert and bathe in the vast ocean of love. It gave me an
opportunity to see for myself the wonderful methods Master has created
to lead us to enlightenment. The saints use all kinds of methods to lead
us to the Truth. They lecture, chant, and meditate, which we often see
used as the conventional methods in the world. It is truly an innovation
to use artistic creations, such as lanterns, paintings, celestial clothing
and jewelry, and a symphonic performance to convey the teachings. Master
transforms spiritual teachings into an art form that elevates our spirituality.
Her methods are not only superb, but diverse and innovative as well. I
can only say that our Master is the master of all masters! No other words
can better express my feelings!
