Title of Conference: Women Speak Out on Peace
Location: Commodities Exchange Tower, Asian Games Village, Beijing

聯合國世界婦女大會‧

錫呂瑪塔吉獲邀為大會發言嘉賓

大會主題: "婦女論和平"

(北京亞運村商品交易樓會議室 )

（95/9/13北京京廣新世界酒店宴會廳）(The hotel Shri Mataji was staying)
- Mostly friends and relatives of HK yogis were invited, as well as those we met in the NGO forum a week before.

很多獲邀的參加者都是香港練習者的國內親友，還有一些是一星期前
在非政府組織論壇中遇見的有緣人。
當時她說：「對靈性來說，中國是一片肥沃之地。」

講座後很多人索取她的簽名。
newcomer eargerly asked for Her autograph .

"...as Tagore once said, I have left my Heart in China. If Chinese people invite me, I will surely come back." Shri Mataji told the reporter of China Central TV at the Beijing Airport. It was such a divine plan (coordinated incidents) that CCTV was filming the conclusion of the Conference there when She was leaving for Russia.

一切是如此巧妙地配合，下午在機場離境廳錫呂瑪塔吉剛好遇上記者並接受訪問。當晚，中央電視台晚間新聞後的30分鐘世界婦女大會閉幕特輯播出了這片段；並引用"這位遠道而來外國朋友"的話作結：「套用泰戈爾的一句話……我已把我的心留在中國。假如你們中國人邀請我，我必定回來。」。

估計超過一千萬人在電視上
聽到她的話，看見她慈祥
的笑容，並得到祝福。

而且……

節目結束，打出製作人員名單時，竟然以錫呂瑪塔吉的肖像打在電視幕牆上作為背景，足有一分鐘之久。

Then at night, ...

Shri Mataji's such statement and her brief interview became the concluding theme (inter-cultural friendship) of the special 30-minuteTV documentary on the UN Conference right after the night news.

我們在酒店看著電視，
有幸見證了這一切，鼓舞欣慰之餘
就立即拿出照相機，
把這個歷史時刻拍下來。

Further out of our surprise, at the end of the show, when names of the production crew were shown in the dark-out screen, CCTV used Shri Mataji's image on the video wall to bid the audience farewell.

For a minute or so, tens of millions of people all over mainland China were blessed by the compassionate smile of our Holy Mother.

Witnessing it in the hotel with elation, we could not help but quickly grabbed out a camera to take several shots of the TV set at this historical moment.
