The pageant officially started at ten thirty in the morning. The Holy Tantra team was led by four vajra brothers and sisters holding the Australian national flag, followed by Holy Tantra elder gurus and gurus holding the Holy Tantra Esoteric Buddhism flag. One of the Sydney representative holding the Australian national flag was a senior vajra sister with eighteen years of practice in Holy Tantra Esoteric Buddhism. The two flags with eight individuals, six females and two males, were arranged by the order of general devotees, ordained Holy Tantra sangha members, Holy Jewel Holy Tantra gurus, and Holy Jewel Holy Tantra elder gurus. Among those holding the flag of Holy Tantra Esoteric Buddhism, there was also a senior practitioner with eighteen years of practice. She was the representative of United States Holy Tantra Esoteric Buddhism Vajra Lian-Hua Miao Hong. There were also the representative from Australia's Queensland Vajra Chan Yan; representative from Hong Kong Guru Vajra Chan Cheng; and the first director of Hong Kong's Samantabhadra Bodhimandala Elder Guru Vajra Miao Guo. Elder Guru Vajra Miao Guo served as chief flag carrier and led with dharani step work. Seeing from afar, it was like seeing the athletes' entrance into the Olympic stadium. It revealed the religious demeanor of Holy Tantra practitioners, who relinquished the monasteries to merge with the mundane, and transformed the mundane to holy. |
