Spiritual Flowers Bloom on the NTU Campus

by Zue-yun Zhang, Taipei

[Taipei]On the weekend of March 13-14, 2004, National Taiwan University (NTU) was immersed in an ocean of beautiful multi-colored flowers during the annual Azalea Festival, heralding the arrival of spring. The NTU Light and Sound Association, formed by fellow initiates, set up an exhibition booth focusing on the theme “Love is the Only Religion” and introducing a lifestyle enriched by spiritual enlightenment. Members of the Quan Yin family from other universities and colleges joined in the activity to sow the seeds of love.

During the Festival, countless students and crowds of people from outside the University visited the venue. Parents came with their children to participate in interesting family games designed by the initiates, such as “balloon painting,” “wishing fountain” and “poking fun,” creating a cheerful atmosphere. The children threw shiny cards containing their personal wishes into a wishing fountain in front of Master’s photo, and joyously painted their favorite patterns on balloons. In the “poking fun” game, players found prizes concealed in balloons, including candy, cookies and small cards printed with Master’s aphorisms, which the children examined happily. While the youngsters enjoyed themselves, their parents watched Master’s lecture videos. These exciting activities attracted a continuous stream of visitors.

Among the guests was a middle-aged art designer who shared his love and veneration for Supreme Master Ching Hai by saying, “At the Taipei Municipal Social Education Hall yesterday, I saw the Supreme Master’s paintings for the first time and was deeply impressed. Today, when I arrived at this event, I immediately recognized from a distance that these two paintings must be masterpieces by the Supreme Master. I have some solemn advice for you. To appreciate the Supreme Master’s art work, one must observe a vegetarian diet and bathe to purify the body for at least eight to ten days before one can understand the artistic ideas and messages conveyed. Although I’m not acquainted with the Supreme Master, I respect Her very much!

The Truth-sharing activity during NTU’s Azalea Festival brought many young students and members of the public into contact with Master’s teachings. Thus the participating fellow practitioners, blessed with abundant spiritual rewards, promised to meet again to share the bliss of enlightenment when the azaleas bloom again next year.
