A
New Year In Palawan
(Originally
In Au Lac Language)
|
When
the Tet (New Year) Season arrived for Au Lac refugees in the Palawan
camp there was real joy for the first time because at least they have
more freedom in this country.
With boundless
compassion, Supreme Master Ching Hai understood the longing of these people and
comforted them in Her own special way by instructing the Quan Yin messengers
and fellow practitioners to present New Year's gifts to them during
Tet. Although the gifts were rather simple (e.g. watermelons, candies,
cookies and preserved fruits), they nonetheless fulfilled a timeless
Au Lac tradition. Moreover, they were also full of Master's love, reserved
especially for Her compatriots. Her meticulous compassion and care for
suffering people seemed to also touch God, who responded with gentle
raindrops that comforted every soul.
One by one, the
gifts were presented to people of all ages. Men, women and children
were holding in their hands heavy Tet bags as they happily smiled. They
expressed their gratitude and heartfelt Tet greetings to Supreme Master Ching Hai as they clutched their gifts. Fellow practitioners did not forget
to present them with the latest issue of Master's News magazine -- a
priceless spiritual gift imbibed with Master's love and blessings that
evokes the eternal Spirit with each person.
