In the evening, the day after Master arrived in Japan, She noticed in the sky outside of Her log cabin, that the half moon was surrounded by a large circle of light. The Supreme Master Ching Hai said,

"I have never seen a large circle of light like this before. Quick! Let's make a video recording of it." But they could not reproduce the same effect with the video camera and they were not sure whether the regular camera would do the job either, so the Supreme Master Ching Hai decided She had to draw it.

Within thirty minutes a pastel drawing was finished. The bluish-green background represented the evening sky. The golden moon and the scattered twinkling stars were surrounded by a circle of light so big that it could not fit inside the picture. How cool the look!
