Honoring
Master's Peace-Inspiring Visit by Sharing Her Boundless Love

by Lawrence Fernando, Colombo

[Colombo] To commemorate the fourth anniversary of our beloved Master's 2000 visit to beautiful Sri Lanka, known as the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, Colombo Center initiates recently conducted a series of spiritual activities.

During Supreme Master Ching Hai's stay on the island, a war was raging in its northern section that had adversely affected the country for twenty years, and there was no sign of peace in sight. Throughout the conflict, relentless bombing killed many people, even shortly before Master's arrival.

Miraculously, however, with Master's coming the fighting began to diminish and soon, after a round of peace talks, all hostilities ceased. Thus the Sri Lankan brothers and sisters are ever so grateful to Master for the wonderful gift of peace that She bestowed on their country.

In celebration of this historic event, the initiates and their guests gathered at the Colombo Center, and in keeping with Sri Lankan tradition, lit an oil lamp to start the festivities. This was followed by an entertainment program and the serving of traditional sweets such as milk rice and oil-cakes. In addition, the participants were treated to a pleasing exhibition of Master's publications and artistic creations.

Then on the following Sunday, a group of fellow practitioners presented cakes, biscuits soft drinks and clothing in Master's name to the residents of a local orphanage run by Buddhist monks. The children who received the gifts were most appreciative, and the initiates look forward to future opportunities to help the less fortunate and meet with Master to again bask in Her infinite love.
