 Report From The Philippines 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.
