Fellow Initiates take delight in cleaning up the environment in central Formosa

[Report From Central Formosa] Fellow initiates, young and old, in central Formosa happily volunteered to clean the streets of Tongxiao and the breakwater of Rich Autumn Garden in response to International Environmental Protection Day.

Many parents, setting good examples by their actions, also verbally instructed the young initiates on the importance of environmental cleanliness and ways to accomplish it. Little ones could be seen earnestly sweeping the streets and collecting the garbage. Even those who were too young to work served as supervisors, pointing at trash overlooked, making the work more fun, and raising its efficiency.

Annual Lifetime Learning Exhibition Proves Interesting

Among the participants in this year's exhibition were the Yunlin and Chiayi Centers of a religious group known as the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association. The Centers exhibited printed and audio materials on their selected theme, "Developing Potential Abilities Through Spiritual Revitalization," as well as spiritual works of art. The group is known for its concern for politically disadvantaged groups and frequent visits to prisons to edify the inmates. It also pays special attention to recycling and environmental protection, and sponsors monthly clean up activities in the vicinity of Jenyi Lake and Lan Lake.

[Report from Chiayi, Formosa] On April 18 & 19, the 1998 Lifetime Learning Exhibition was held in the Chiayi County Stadium in Potzu, central Formosa by the Chiayi County Government. The Chiayi fellow initiates participated in this exhibition, with the theme of "Developing Potential Capabilities Through Spiritual Revitalization."

The exhibition was separated into two parts: Dynamic performances and static display. Fellow practitioners won widespread acclaim for their brilliant and dynamic performances from the program sponsors, who found truth in the claim that this demonstration was only a small portion of the potential that can be developed through the practice of the Quan Yin Method.

For the static display, the Chiayi Center was allotted the first booth at the exhibition venue where Quan Yin messengers provided spiritual counsel and answered questions from visitors.

Sister initiates of the Celestial Clothes group were the epitome of graceful nobility when clad in the Celestial Clothes. On the second day of the event, the sponsors spontaneously broadcast spiritual songs by the Supreme Master Ching Hai throughout the venue, bathing visitors in Her ocean of love. Delegates from the Potzu Tsai Puken Cultural Foundation requested sample booklets and magazines, and solicited regular contributions of articles from the Center to publish in their periodicals.

Loving Food Restaurant opens in Ilan after an extraordinary transaction.

On May 9, the first Loving Food Vegetarian Restaurant held its grand opening in Ilan. There is an unusual story behind the establishment of this restaurant. Initiates were looking for a suitable location when they came across a steak house next to the Ilan Cultural Center that was for sale. In negotiations with the owner, they learned that someone had already made an offer, but the owner was waiting for a buyer interested in establishing a vegetarian restaurant. He said that the Quan Yin Bodhisattva had appeared to him and told him not to allow meat transactions to be carried on at that place any longer. Perhaps it was the will of God that the initiates came to him that day!

Restaurant Address: 330 Min Zu Road, Ilan; Telephone: 9366071-2;
First Floor: Loving Food Land Chain Store; Second Floor: Loving Food Restaurant.
