◆ The Community Garden Party Attracted Many Guests

The Taoyuan Center held a Community Garden Party: to celebrate the completion of the new Taoyuan Center; to actively improve relations with residents in the vicinity; and also to provide the people in the community with a chance to come in contact with Master's teachings. The activity included: free medical consultations by traditional Chinese and Western doctors; serving vegetarian food; a brilliant variety show; and a lucky draw to entertain the guests.

Taoyuan fellow initiates, supported by Master's almighty love, successfully enhance relations with their neighbors at a Community Garden Party.

The venue for the Garden Party was beautifully decorated. Some guests strolled to the Scripture Circulation Counter to read books they liked; some visited the Information Desk inquiring about Master's teachings; and others queued in the free medical consultation area. The booth where 'Love-balloons' were given away was most welcomed by the children, though many adults, still young at heart, also flocked to get one. The mouth-watering vegetarian food that was served attracted many guests who tried the delicious and exotic vegetarian foods one by one. Simultaneously, they could also watch video tapes advocating vegetarianism. The lucky draw and the variety show were the main events, providing delightful entertainment to fellow practitioners and the guests.

This Community Garden Party was one big step forward for the Taoyuan Center in attempting new methods of promoting Supreme Master Ching Hai's teachings. The most important point was, all the fellow practitioners who participated in the work received a most precious gift - Master's infinite love!
