Sharing the Truth
in Liuchiu

 

The inhabitants of Liuchiu rural township earnestly participate in the video seminar.

Crowds gather at the vegetarian food sampling venue, where even gourmets are deeply impressed by the delicious food.

[Liuchiu] Liuchiu rural township lies on an islet off the southwestern coast of Formosa, about eight nautical miles from Tungkang, Pingtung County. Its inhabitants are pure, simple, and cordial. At the invitation of the Liuchiu administrative office, the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association visited the islet on April 9 to hold free medical consultations, a vegetarian food sampling activity, and a video lecture seminar at the township library.

Members of the local community earnestly participated in the day's activities, forming a long line to obtain free Chinese and western medical consultations, and packing the venue for the video seminar. The nearly forty delicious vegetarian dishes at the food sampling activity were equally welcomed, and earned universal praise from the guests.

	A long line forms at the free medical consultation station, which is much welcomed by Liuchiu residents.

The earnest support of Magistrate Tsai of Liuchiu rural township contributed to the success of this event. The local participants had not shown such great enthusiasm for any activity or seminar in the last four or five years, said Mr. Tsai, adding that the Quan Yin Method is irresistibly appealing. He personally saw us off at the ferry pier before we sailed back to Formosa, and thus ended an unforgettable Truth-sharing journey.
