(Originally In Au Lac Language)

Two Compact Disks:
"Eternal Beloved" & "Traces of a Previous Life - Volume 2"
-- Poetry and Music Compositions.

The compact disk entitled "Eternal Beloved" features a collection of poems written by Supreme Master Ching Hai, which have been put to music by famous composers such as: Pham Duy, Thu Ho, Le Dinh, Nhat Ngan, Le Vu, Phuong Vu and Thai Hoa. The compositions have been further enhanced by skillful and creative musical arrangements by Duy Quang and Duy Cuong, and delivered with the enchanting and heartwarming voices of singers like: Duy Quang, Thai Hien, Ai Van, Duy Khanh, Le Uyen, My Huyen, Nhat Ngan and Diem Lien.

Supreme Master Ching Hai's poetry shows Her intimate understanding of the many aspects of love. Her artfully created verses sometimes depict strong passion that's usually associated with stories of worldly love, while other times express the purity and wholeheartedness of divine compassion, which is eternal and boundless:

[Looking for you I came down in this world, My eternal beloved, deep in the dust of life.]

[I want to lead you away over the clouds, Bright with halos, divine music and blooming lotuses.]

The compact disk "Eternal Beloved" was very carefully produced using the most unique, modern and beautiful musical arrangements. This compact disk is highly recommended to all lovers of fine poetry and music.

The poems on "Traces of a Previous Life - Volume 2," describe the emotionally painful farewells to loved ones, that many of us have probably experienced at some time in our lives. Yet, there are also heartwarming poems about love in full bloom. Overall, the collection is highly emotionally charged reflecting the many aspects of the ephemeral world we live in.

[Don't know why, still feel blue, Look at life; like the water flows, like the rain fall.]

Continuing on from the wonderful poems on the compact disk "Traces of a Previous Life - 1, 2 & 3," "Traces of a Previous Life - Volume 2" includes the charming voices of notable performers from Au Lac including: Hong Van, To Kieu Ngan, Huyen Tran and Bao Cuong. Their voices are accompanied by improvised background sitar and zither music, and the exquisite sound of the flute played by To Kieu Ngan. The result is that the listener's heart is taken on a journey into the evocative realm of poetry and filled with unforgettable memories.

On the evening of the poetry and musical performances in Los Angeles, poetess Supreme Master Ching Hai said to distinguished guests that She hopes through Her love poems one would realize that She has experienced joy as well as sorrow just like anyone else. By listening to them, while not getting too emotional and attached, She hopes we can understand that only God's love is truly everlasting.

Therefore, all lovers of poetry are invited to enter the delicate, sensitive garden of poetry that is sublimely landscaped by "Traces of a Previous Life - Volume 2". The compact disk is beautifully produced and is overflowing with memories of Au Lac.
