Conveying Love through
Clay Molding
By Changhua News Group (Originally in Chinese)
[Changhua] On November 4 and 5, Golden Year 3 (2006), a Changhua cultural fair was held in the square before Yuanlin Township Office. An array of preserved fruits and local farm produce was exhibited, while family games, free DIY (Do It Yourselves) instruction sessions, painting contests, and arts performances were held, making this an interesting event. The Changhua Center of The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association participated in this activity. Two sisters (a mother and her daughter), who are both clay molding artists, conducted free sessions on the making of animal figurines. They were joined by several fellow initiates, who distributed Alternative Living flyers and held a quiz with prizes. Master’s lecture DVD “The Real Heroes” was shown to impress upon visitors the importance of environmental conservation, animal protection, and the vegetarian diet. Visitors had their animal figurines affixed with stickers printed with words of compassion and the URL of the Quan Yin Websites. The two-day event saw several hundred people take home works they had made with love. In the days to come, each time they look at these cute animal figurines, they will be reminded of the compassionate nature within them. Through this event, people now have a greater understanding of animal welfare and vegetarianism.
