More than 2000 Readers Attended the Book Signing Event held at the Singapore Expo

2009-03-10

Since 10am in the morning there had been a crowd of Grand Master`s book fans lining up for the new release in the series, book No. 205 titled `Illusions of the Alps` and an entry ticket number to get the book signed personally by Grand Master. Those who had obtained a book and a number were overjoyed, and those who had missed out were disappointed but continued to stay around hoping to grasp a slim chance for their wishes to be realized, as it`s a known fact that to obtain a book written by Grand Master is a treasure, and a great empowerment to have it signed personally by Our Holiness.

At 3:20pm in the afternoon, Grand Master had arrived at the Singapore Expo hall 2, where the book signing took place. The hall was fully packed by more than two thousand fans who lined up in an orderly and quiet manner. Grand Master immediately began autographing in order to sign every book. His signing power was so great, that those standing beside the table could feel the impact. Non-stop signing continued until 5:30pm. A total of one thousand three hundred books were signed by His Holiness.

According to the CEO of Daden, dharma sister SuMei Wu, a total of eighteen hundred books were sold; however, due to Grand Master`s tight schedule, only thirteen hundred book signing entry tickets could be issued which resulted in the disappointment of those who missed out. Some fans couldn`t even have the chance to purchase a book, but they still felt happy and lucky to see Grand Master in person. Those in attendance paid respect to Grand Master and some offered presents to His Holiness. Attendees showed respect with their serenity and the event ended successfully with the sending off and departure of Grand Master.
