The uniquely designed exhibition
booth of the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association Publishing
Co. Ltd. at the Taipei International Book Fair.

Publishers
from almost fifty countries participated in the International Book Fair held
at the Taipei World Trade Center from February 7 to 12. The exhibition booths,
which numbered in the thousands, attracted hundreds of thousands of spectators.
It was indeed the most significant cultural event of the year for Asian publishers.
The exhibition booth of the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association
Publishing Co. Ltd. looked uniquely artistic, with its futuristic and cosmic
features that attracted many visitors.
Distributed
free of charge at the venue were some exquisitely designed bookmarks printed
with Master's aphorisms and Her dream of the Golden Era. The rest and snack
vending area, amply furnished with many tables and chairs, was directly opposite
our booth. When people tired, they would retreat to this area to take a rest
and enjoy a snack, and naturally watch Master's lecture videos that were played
continuously throughout the day. Two computers were mounted on the walls inside
our booth, each displaying the Quan Yin Internet web pages in Chinese and
English that introduced fully and concisely all the information and services
related to the Quan Yin family. This multimedia system allowed the audience,
with just one touch of a finger, to have immediate access to sound clips of
Master's lectures, stories told by Master, the News magazines, and lecture
collections. This fantastic system attracted a large crowd of people who could
not wait to get on-line and browse our web sites.
Apart
from the younger generation, there were also many scholars and professionals
among the visitors, including psychologists and professors of art and commercial
design. They were very interested in Master's teachings and artistic creations.
