Before the Lunar New Year each year, 
            initiates from the Tainan Center organize a charitable activity for 
            their poverty-stricken sisters and brothers. This year, we visited 
            households that had been affected by accidents or misfortunes, and 
            were thus in need of help.

                 Fellow practitioners from Tainan bring Master's 
                  love to their impoverished sisters and brothers.

           On February 9, with Master's love, fellow 
            practitioners went to Tainan, Hsinying, Liuying and Hsuehchia to visit 
            19 impoverished families, who were pleasantly surprised when we arrived 
            with New Year's presents. Some of the recipients burst into tears 
            as they tightly held our hands, hoping to convey their gratitude to 
            Master. One old woman who lives with her grandson placed Master's 
            photo on their altar for pious veneration each day. She said that, 
            although they were financially poor, they had found spiritual wealth 
            and comfort with Master as the patron saint of their family. We believe 
            that Master's love has already infused the hearts of these fellow 
            human beings in difficulty, providing a warm current of support in 
            the harsh winter months.
