With Her spontaneous, humorous and carefree manner, the female
spiritual practitioner blended into the greeting crowd, shook
hands, and said hello to the audience as She passed by. The
following fifteen minutes were set aside for interviews and
picture taking from the local and international press and
other media, who had not seen the Master in the US for quite a
long time.
Even though this part was not scheduled to be included in the
program and had caused a longer delay than expected at the start
of the program, the audience was not at all concerned. They were
patient and remained silent; a silence that was so respectful
in an evening performance of music and poetry, something that
has rarely been seen, if ever, before.
Two pioneers in the world of Vietnamese music, Pham Duy and
Thu Ho, were also present among the audience along with
musicians Trinh Lam Ngan and Tran Trinh...
One thing worth mentioning was that musician Nhat Ngan, for the
first time, performed a song entitled "Coming To Someone's
Home, a poem written by Supreme Master Ching Hai for which he had
composed the music.
A lot of people sitting around me were commenting: "...She
looks very nice, so elegant, so adorable another lady said:
"...I don't care what people say, it is kind of unbelievable
that this evening's performance is more crowded than the Thuy
Nga's Paris Show Some people were even more bold and said:
"...No wonder they didn't like Her. She's so talented, She has
so many disciples, and She's so courageous in carrying out what
She wants to do. Everyone has his own opinion, how can all be
satisfied?
In "The Evening Of Music and Poetry," MC Tran Quang, even
though he had been invited at the last minute, did a marvelous
job of bringing an atmosphere of admiration to the program,
artistically weaving a bridge of harmony between the audience and
the performers.
Although the program went on until about 3 AM, the audience
still remained until the last minute to applaud the success of
the organizing staff of Supreme Master Ching Hai International
Association, Los Angeles Center, and most of all, to congratulate
a modern poet who has just begun Her stardom in the sky of the
Vietnamese cultural community -- Supreme Master Ching Hai.¡¹
