 One day at Raising Center in Cambodia, sister Chiu was weeding a vegetable bed when
a local elderly man came and voluntarily helped her. He had a picture of Master
on a pin, pinned on his chest. Nevertheless, he made a gesture requesting sister
Chiu to give him her pin of Master. (Maybe he wanted it for his family.) Sister
Chiu gave him her pin without hesitation. As he received Master's picture, he
very, very reverently held it in his palms and placed it on his forehead for
a long time. His sincerity moved sister Chiu deeply. Witnessing the sincere
action of this man made her realized how fortunate this Lotus Kingdom's countryman
is; the Cambodian people are spiritually very rich.
Simple Joy
A local child
found a Korean coin on the road and ran over to give it to sister Chiu. To reward
his virtuous deed, she gave him and his friends all the blessed food she had
brought with her. The children were so happy that they jumped with joy and shouted:
"O-cuin! O-cuin!" (Thank you! Thank you!) Children's minds are clear and pure
like the sky; everyone loves their innocence and simplicity.
