The Infinite Light Comforts
Street People's Hearts

By the Hong Kong News Group (Originally in Chinese)

As northerly winds blew over Hong Kong one evening in late December 2004, local fellow initiates promptly prepared dozens of packages containing clothing, sandwiches and sample booklets and set off for the areas around the Yen-chow Street overpass and Yung-shu-tau Park, hoping to bring warmth to their homeless friends in these old districts.

Joined by several initiates from China, the work team first arrived at the Yen-chow Street overpass, where a group of Aulacese friends were huddling together to keep warm in the cold night air. The homeless gratefully received the lovingly prepared packages and informed the disciples of the whereabouts of other street people in the area.  One of them recognized Master from the cover photo on the sample booklet, and when he learned that this Master he had seen in Formosa was also from Au Lac, he happily shared the news with his friends, saying, "This Master has many disciples." The initiates then went to Yung-shu-tau Park and also visited several tunnels under overpasses, where they distributed warm clothing and offered Master's love to more homeless friends.

The next two days saw a sharp drop in temperature in Hong Kong, and the fellow initiates again set out for the Yen-chow Street overpass to distribute thick cotton-padded coats and scarves to more street people. After listening to a brief introduction to Master's teachings, one of them said, "She speaks about the Truth—the method to attain the Tao!'

As the infinite light of Master's compassion shone on the street people, it also brought a glow to the faces of the fellow initiates. The hardships of the homeless taught the practitioners to better appreciate their own happiness, feel more grateful than ever for Master's blessings, cherish what they have and practice more diligently.
