2003  JOURNEY  INTO  CHINA
The Ancient Wisdom Tour
A Joyous Spiritual Travel Adventure

Hosted by the Venerable
REGENT CHINA TOUR COMPANY

OCTOBER  31 TO NOVEMBER 11, 2003
TWELVE DAYS FOR ONLY $2595 U.S.

(Price includes round trip air fare from dozens of gateway cities in the U.S., 3 meals a day, 4-star or 5-star luxury hotels, intra-China transportation, and sightseeing with world-class guides.)

The new paradigm for the 21st century is that we are now living in a global community.  To integrate all facets of our human heritage is to live this Truth to its fullest.  The Far East gives us Wisdom, Honor, Aesthetics, Science, Philosophy, Balance, and Inner Joy.  Join Rev. Rainbow Johnson in 2002, as she takes you on a mystical odyssey into the heart of China, touching centuries upon centuries of this tradition. She will base the theme of each day's transformational journey on the marriage of the Tao Te Ching and New Thought.  (Rev. Rainbow will help you understand what the Tao Te Ching has to tell you about your consciousness -- as well as the consciousness of this most ancient land!)

Discover firsthand the great diversity of this fascinating country.  Experience a magical odyssey through 5,000 years of recorded history in a vast & stunning landscape.  Explore China's most historic and popular cities.  Meditate in Buddhist and Taoist temples.  Stroll through palaces where once no commoner dared to enter.  Meet local Chinese who are among the world's friendliest people and witness a remarkable culture.

Realistically speaking, such a tour should cost many thousands of dollars, but with the help of the premiere U.S.-China touring company, Regent China Tours, we are able to offer you a complete and deluxe experience for the extremely low price of only $2595!  This price includes round trip US/China airfare, 4-star hotels, 3 meals daily (breakfast is American-style buffet; lunch and dinner are authentic Chinese-style), intra-China transportation, and some of the best English-speaking tour guides in China!
