Love

(Originally in English)
On February 8, 2002, local initiates visited a home for the handicapped. Among the 147 disabled men, women, and children who resided at the home, most were unable to attend to their personal needs. Only a few could use their deformed limbs to create handicrafts.
With the support of loving individuals in the local community, fellow initiates distributed provisions badly needed by these less fortunate brothers and sisters, who were very happy to receive the presents, and accepted them with smiling faces.
Some non-initiates participated in this activity as well. Free sample booklets were distributed along with the provisions, and the recipients were impressed and amazed to hear that we were vegetarians and strictly followed the five precepts.
While the misfortunes of these people filled us with sadness, they also gave us the courage and strength to conduct similar projects in the future. As the Bible says, "Through serving others, you shall see God." During the activity, the profound meaning of these valuable words touched our hearts.
