Today, we present two touching films about the true companionship between horses and humans. The first film is “Windstorm,” directed by well-known German film director Katja von Garnier. The award-winning movie stars a beautiful wild black stallion whom no one can tame, and an equally wild young girl named Mika. Our second movie is the 2009 production entitled “Tornado and the Kalahari Horse Whisperer,” directed by famous South African film director Regardt van den Bergh. Based on true events, the picture tells the story of Pierre, an unhappy young man, and Tornado, an emotionally distraught horse. Tornado’s caregivers do not know how to help him. Feeling that he can relate to the horse, Pierre, portrayed by Quentin Krog, is drawn to Tornado and decides to find a solution.

You must have noticed that, Master is interested in our Concert. You’ve seen just now, how She appreciated the performances by the Morin Khuur Ensemble and Bayartsetseg, who sang Her beautiful song. So, we hope that She will enjoy our next performance as well. Because as I heard, the throat singing, which is underappreciated by us but admired by the world, was highly regarded by Master. We really hope that the Supreme Master will enjoy the next performance, because the next performance originates from the western part of Mongolia and this very unique singing is called “overtone singing” or “dual tonal singing,” literally known as throat singing. In fact, one performer can produce two musical tunes simultaneously.

Lyrics and music by the Supreme Master Ching Hai, “On the Riverbank,” singer Bayartsetseg. I love to sit on the riverbank, looking at the flowing water and hear the songs within…. Composition by the Supreme Master Ching Hai, “Triple melody,” 2nd & 3rd parts, Monrin Khuur Ensemble of Mongolia, conductor Tuvshinsaikan. It’s Artist Day, it’s not Ching Hai Day. You play all my songs, up to now three songs. But thank you for your affection through the music. Thank you. Thank you, Master and we hope You will equally enjoy the next dance performed by tiny dancers from Baganuur, a remote district of Ulaanbaatar. Choreography by Baljinnyam, performance by a children’s dance group called “Dance, Dance.”

Today, we will present two inspiring movies about a family of loyal, hard-working insects: ants! Ants are small, fascinating creatures that can be found almost everywhere in the world. BBC’s 2017 documentary “Ants: Nature’s Secret Power” brings us many surprises and shows how wonderful our little ant friends are. “Antz” is great fun to watch for both children and adults. Here again, we see the virtue of selflessness and teamwork exemplified by our little ant friends.

With the goal of unifying and celebrating humanity, the contest was created based on the Italian Sanremo Music Festival. In today’s show, we will highlight some of the many moving songs by gifted entrants from Eurovision 2019 that caught our attention with their beautiful messages of love and hope. Our first song, “Bigger Than Us” by Michael Rice from the United Kingdom, reminds us what true love is. Styled as a ballad, accompanied by a powerful chorus, “Wake Up” inspires courage to seek truth and hope for a better future.

One could say Oliver Mtukudzi’s mission was to teach through music. A natural philosopher, he used his lyrics, husky voice and his “Tuku” music, to gently guide his fellow African brothers and sisters on many social issues such as poverty, alcohol abuse and HIV/AIDS. His “Tuku” music was a mixture of southern African music traditions, including mbira, mbaqanga, jit and the traditional drumming styles of the Korekore. He influenced four generations in Zimbabwe with his music, lacing his songs with messages about morality, self-respect, happiness and challenges in life, hope and peace.

During this mid-autumn festival season, we wish you a warm and blissful time with your loved ones as we gather to enjoy the full moon season and pay respect to the gracious Moon who has been offering us boundless love and eternal beauty since ancient times. Every mid-autumn season, children run here and there joyfully with colorful lanterns. No one knows exactly when the lantern parade tradition began, we’ve only been told that it’s closely connected to a beautiful and touching legend. We now invite you to enjoy this ancient tale with us.

Next is the performance from China, which presents a song titled “Watching the Moon.” The song’s melody is smooth, the lyrics are warm, the meaning is profound. The song expresses the deep feelings, boundless praises and love towards our Master. “When I am looking at the moon, I am always thinking of You. When I am looking at You, I am thinking about the moon. In this world, the most beautiful is the moon. But the one that’s more beautiful than the moon is You. In the days without You, I often watch the moon. The pure and bright moonlight is like Your face.”

Since ancient times, humans have expressed their love and longing for God through singing and music. These holy songs connect us with the Divine and remind us of our heavenly Home. The artists are able to emulate the heavenly melodies and the beauties from above and try to express them on Earth as much as they can through their physical instrument and vocals. Sufism is a noble and beautiful branch of Islamic faith that is practiced in various regions across the world. Sufism focuses on the inward search for God and spiritual development of the soul. Because of so, Sufism is often referred to as Islamic mysticism. Today, let us enjoy a few devotional songs of Sufism.

The next program is also from our friends of Mongolia, who have brought us a Mongolian folk song “Noonzaya.” It is a ballad about missing one’s homeland. A beautiful and kind-hearted young lady Noonzaya was married to a faraway stranger as arranged by her parents. She missed her homeland and kinfolks dearly. Next, Taichung Center from Formosa (Taiwan) will present a short play, “The Three Moons of Li Bai.” This play has adapted Li Bai’s poem “Remembering Qin’e” into a song titled “Protecting the Glaciers.” It serves as a metaphor advocating that humans should love the earth and adopt veganism to protect the glaciers and the earth.

According to the Lunar calendar, the moon is the fullest on the 15th day of the 8th moon, which usually corresponds to sometime between September and October of the Gregorian calendar. On this day, our ancestors used to hold festivities in celebration of the harvest. Many Asian countries continue to celebrate this traditional holiday by spending happy times with families and friends, eating yummy mooncakes and gazing at the full moon. On September 23, 2018, our Association members from around the world held a mid-Autumn Festival celebration at Kaohsiung, Taiwan, also known as Formosa. This is the message from our Beloved Master: “Thank you! Have a good time. Love Love.”

But we cannot say goodbye without first saying thanks to other artists. To all of them, our gratitude. Same to the theater staff of this Danza Theater. So we hope that our country keeps walking through the paths of art. And to all of you, thank you very much. And see you next April 3rd. “Well it seems to me something so noble, for me it is like a fairy tale come true. Because, all of us artists have a message to communicate to humanity. Then it is beautiful that someone makes it universal and allows us to get that voice out and share it with everyone.”

Supreme Master Ching Hai says: “Celebrate your artists and let them know in life how important their work is and how much light they bring to the world with their talent.” Let’s now listen to three wonderful boleros. We are going to make this serenade sung and danced. It was a light. That illuminated my whole being. It’s loving and peaceful way to establish relationships and to solve and advance, create and invent.

On April 3rd, 2019, to commemorate the 2nd International Artist Day, members of the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association in Costa Rica organized an artistic event in the Teatro de la Danza, located in the Ministry of Culture’s main facility. Many participants expressed deep appreciation for being a part of this tribute to artists, commemorating their positive effect on society. “Well here’s a lot of people who have many many gifts and possibly, if we made an experiment and we got all those gifts, we would all be flying.”

The “World Tour 2018” was very impressive with the 39 “Small Island Big Song” concerts garnering over 100,000 attendees. The musician and dance troupe from eight island nations covered 20 cities in 12 countries on four continents! When we looked out at that stage and they were all such strong, proud musicians who are absolutely respected cultural voices and it was so humbling for us to be amongst those people and for them to be standing up on stage and the presence that they bring, because it’s not just them, they’re all representing this lineage, and they’re aware of that, too, when they’re standing there. The respect (they have) for each other.

Aulacese (Vietnamese) Classical Opera is a theatre art and is considered as a national intangible cultural heritage. Next is a moving drama entitled "A Saintly King" that entails a noble view of life. This poor man threw the stone and the tree gave him a sweet fruit to assuage his hunger for one day. And I'm the King of all beings, the jewel of humans, why should I be less worthy than a tree? That's why I ordered to have this poor man be provided for from today for the rest of his life. The Lô Lô people is one of the 54 ethnic groups in Âu Lạc (Vietnam). Bringing nature’s wild beauty to life, the Lô Lô’s culture and festivals are filled with cheerful colors and optimism.

Today is the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, and to mark the occasion, we are excited to share with you an introduction to an extraordinary album celebrating unity, music and traditional culture. “Small Island Big Song” that unites indigenous island musicians who share an ancient seafaring ancestry across the two oceans. The album was composed and recorded in nature, on the artists’ custodial land, with all songs featuring only traditional instruments and lyrics in indigenous languages. Over a hundred musicians from 16 island nations are showcased.

Mother, killing King Erg is to avenge for you and the people of Worry-Free Kingdom. My son! Hatred is like a double-edged sword. It will harm yourself at the time of hurting others. Due to ignorance, people don’t know that everything happening now is caused by the karma of past lives. My son, you vowed to be compassionate before, which can dissolve hatred accumulated from many lives. You must use your wisdom to endure the hardship and let go of the hatred! A forgiving person with no evil doings will earn respect. Purifying your heart is the wisest things to do. “The merciful has no enemies and the benevolent holds no hatred.”

From the past to the present time, art has been the pride of the Aulacese (Vietnamese) people. Presented in many creative forms and performances, artists are the ones that convey messages that elevate our lives. When the royal court of Elegant Music (Nhã Nhạc) was recognized by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of the Oral and lntangible Heritage of Humanity, since then the royal court dance has been “elevated.” “Lưu Bình-Dương Lễ” is an Aulacese modern folk opera, depicting devoted friendship, noble sacrifice and unwavering faithfulness.

This is such a good chance for revenge. I have made this devil running around. Now he is totally exhausted and in agony. I am holding the carved dragon saber in my hand and waiting for the right moment to strike. With a small movement of my arm, I can revenge for my country and my family. Look at him, such a fragile old man. He is not as powerful and strong as he used to be. His heart is dark and full of restless fear. He entrusts his life to me. He spoils his daughter just like an ordinary father. Even the evilest person has a trace of mercy in the heart. He can’t sleep in peace and keeps asking for forgiveness in his dream. Time and tides wait for no one. Even a thousand-man army could win nothing!
