In
early spring 1991, while on her lecture tour in the United States,
Supreme Master Ching Hai responded to the Most Venerable Thích
Mãn Giác's gracious invitation and visited Việt Nam Temple in
Los Angeles. The two spiritual teachers, who were also poets,
spoke about the beauty of Dharma practice and poetry. In this
harmonious meeting, the fragrance of Zen permeated the air.
Although the highly respected Zen Master
Mãn Giác has now returned to the True Source, his gentle spirit
still remains. To share the legacy of his beautiful poetry,
we invite you to listen to the recital of these verses in Free
White Clouds through the melodious voice of Supreme Master Ching
Hai. In addition, two of her own poems, "Golden Lotus"
and "Sayonara," were dedicated to the Most Venerable
Thích Mãn Giác.
In accompaniment with poetry recital
is the performance by a renowned Aulacese traditional orchestra,
such that each poem is infused with a uniquely Aulacese resonance.
In addition to that is the spectacular landscapes of Âu Lạc;
and thus together, nature and music weave an exquisite painting
that is filled with artistic values. Through this treasured
DVD collection, may the audience enjoy their journey on the
sacred path toward Truth, Virtue and Beauty.
