Symphony of Loving Memories

Prelude
 Butterflies symbolize transformation. On the poster for the "One World
of Peace through Music" concert, a butterfly is shown landing on the
beautiful curved edge of a violin. The butterfly itself is a combination
of blue and black, vibrating a dignified beauty. As the ocean waves strike
the violin, a perfect union of nature and man-made melody is formed. Looking
at the poster, the everlasting heavenly music suddenly arises! The ocean
is the mother of the Earth. Listening to the sound of waves brings a nostalgic
feeling and the gentle floating music from the violin awakens the desire
for liberation in our hearts.
A Harmonious Concerto
Sincerity cannot be faked! Had they not been deeply touched by Master's
poetry, the music and songs by the performers could not have sounded so
sincere and heartfelt. Violinists, trumpeters, brass-wind instrumentalists,
and the other sixty musicians in the "One World of Peace" orchestra
were completely embraced by the spirit of Master's words. Under the conductor's
magic baton, they performed in unity and became one. To interpret a love
poem or to convey the feeling of a lover may not be very difficult, but
it is truly a wonder that a spiritual practitioner's longing for eternal
liberation could be expressed so clearly. The performance reminded one
of Master's words, "Artists are half-saints!" Maybe this is because
Truth is within us, and music has pure qualities that can readily touch
the heart and awaken one's True Self.
Narration and Recitation
Am I in the Kingdom of God? Heavenly angels are singing Your songs. The
choirboys sang hymns while music and praise echoed in the holy sanctuary.
Choirboys, clean and pure, counted the "Silent Tears" of a Saint
through their musical notes: one drop, two drops, countless drops. They
became stars shining in the night sky forever giving light to the world.
Unsurpassed Vocalization
Initially, people only expected Master's impromptu singing to be a relaxing
interlude during the performance. However, Her vocalization was so fantastic
and amazing that it led the performance to an indescribable climax! Everyone
present, especially those musicians who surrounded You that evening, were
astonished by Your beauty and grace and almost forgot themselves as evidenced
on the videotape. Your song, "Farewell," was dedicated to all
the refugees in the world. Your singing showed your compassion and tenderness.
It was a very touching and emotional moment. Your song silenced all the
musical instruments. "Where are you going, my winter sun?".....
Happy Harmony
When the melody of "I Will Forever Love You" (one of Master's
compositions) arose from Bill Conti's piano and fingertips, love notes
floated in the air and happily looked for each other! In the soprano's
undulant bosom and in the choirboys' puffy cheeks they were found!
In the eyes of everyone present, we found One World of Peace through Music!
Really! Master, You really did it!
Although the musical concert is over, the emotion remains ....
