Report from Tainan,
Formosa
As
the New Year approached, fellow practitioners from the Tainan Center
held love-sharing activities at three local prisons to extend their
warm concern to inmates during the cold winter season.
The
first activity, a soul-elevating seminar and cultural entertainment
program, was held on December 19 at the Tainan Detention Center. A warm
and touching atmosphere pervaded the venue that day, and although our
fellow practitioners were not professional performers or speakers, their
splendid performance deeply impressed the inmates. All of our efforts
bore fruit through Master's blessings and the sincerity of Tainan fellow
practitioners. After the conclusion of the activity, the prison warden
expressed his gratitude and acclaim for our group, and especially showed
his deep respect for Master's perfect teachings reflected through us.
On December 26, we went to the Mingte
Outdoor Prison to conduct another spiritually uplifting seminar, with
the topic "How to Plan Your Life." This event was especially
beneficial to those inmates who were going to be released very soon.
On
December 27, we visited another facility, the Tainan Prison, and provided
its inmates with routine monthly counseling services. Since we firmly
believe that the best gift for the prison residents is God's gospel,
on each visit, we arrange for a session of Convenient Method transmission,
so that these brothers and sisters trapped behind bars can spend a short
time daily in elevating their souls.
