Clean-up Australia Day

 

[Perth] March 4, 2001 saw the return of the annual Clean-up Australia Day, and once again the Perth Center eagerly participated. The weather bureau had forecast a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius, quite a scorcher, so our fellow brothers and sisters decided to first participate in the clean-up and afterwards hold our monthly meditation retreat. One sister even commented that she meditated better after the physical exercise.

The Perth Center is located at a community center with an adjoining sports oval, where many other activities by various other groups take place.

The sisters concentrated their efforts on cleaning the Center and oval, while our brothers cleaned up the local shopping area, which turned out to be in much better condition than in previous years. Master's light must surely be shining and purifying the place! Helping to convey Master's teachings in various ways, including cleaning up the environment, is the greatest joy on earth.
