[Taipei] On April 19, Golden Year 4 (2007), the Taipei Center was invited by Fu Jen Catholic University’s Faculty of Theology to introduce Supreme Master Ching Hai and the Quan Yin Method to students taking a course in newly emerging religions in Formosa. Several priests and nuns also came to listen to the class.

During the first hour, students attentively watched a DVD featuring a lecture delivered by Supreme Master Ching Hai in Manila, Philippines, in 2000. The second hour of the seminar was opened to questions and discussions about spiritual teachings. With some students eagerly enquiring about the Quan Yin Method of meditation, the question-and-answer session and discussions continued after the bell signaled the end of class. The fellow initiate who was invited to deliver the lecture said, “From the day before to the end of the class, I felt incomparable blessings. People entered the classroom with smiles on their faces, and left with smiles as well. I was very lucky to be able to share Master’s teachings with these beautiful souls.”

The professor presented a card to express gratitude for the sincere sharing from fellow initiates. The card says, “Master Ching Hai’s teaching is all-inclusive and encompassing. It demonstrates a special characteristic of modern religion and has significant influence on people’s hearts and world harmony.”

[Taipei] Having learned that Taipei Municipal Longshan Junior High School was celebrating its 30th anniversary on April 14, Golden Year 4 (2007), the Taipei Center presented a gift of 1,500 tablemats exquisitely printed with the Alternative Living and Supreme Master Television messages to the school teachers, staff and students. We also contributed a NT$5,000 (US$150) sponsorship fund for Longshan’s students. In response, the school management presented a letter of appreciation to the local Center.

The school principal, Ms. Zheng Xiu-qin, said happily, “The loving gifts from your Association are very practical, and many of our teachers are vegetarian.” For many years, Longshan has been providing its assembly hall for Taipei fellow initiates to hold their group meditation. We are very grateful to the school management for their open-minded attitude and generosity.

As part of an effort to promote the healthy vegetarian lifestyle in schools, the Taipei Center chose as its first beneficiary Gueishan Elementary School in a remote mountain area of Sindian. On the third Friday of each month, the Center will provide a vegetarian lunch and broadcast programs from the Supreme Master Television at the school.

While promoting the vegetarian lifestyle, we also introduce the Supreme Master Television, attracting the attention of students who begin reading out loud the information.

On April 20, fellow initiates served a delicious meal with fruits to the 169 teachers and students of the school. In addition to providing a nutrition list prepared by a nutritionist, we presented 200 sets of Alternative Living tablemats and document folders, 220 portions of blessed food attached with the Supreme Master Television information, as well as some of Master’s publications.

The students agreed that the meal was delicious and said they were already looking forward to enjoying the next meal. The teachers took the opportunity to explain to the students how the vegetarian diet benefits health, and how the meat diet exceedingly exploits the resources of our planet. The teachers were very much impressed by the food, and even invited our fellow initiates to start a healthy vegetarian cooking class at their school.

On April 27, fellow initiates visited Fushan Elementary School, a mini school in an Atayal community near Taipei, where they served a sumptuous vegetarian lunch to its 68 teachers and students. Before enjoying the meal, the indigenous children sang a welcome song in their mother tongue. School Principal Huang Mei-ling earnestly described the healthy and nutritious lunch provided by The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association and repeatedly expressed gratitude to the Taipei initiates. On behalf of the school, she accepted the spiritual gifts from our Association, which included Alternative Living tablemats and document folders, blessed food attached with information on the Supreme Master Television, and Master’s publications.

After savoring this healthy vegetarian meal, all the teachers and students expressed awe at the delicious food. One of the teachers was very interested to learn the Convenient Method of meditation.

Sharing Positive News on World Book Day

To celebrate World Book Day initiated by UNESCO, on April 21, Taipei initiates participated in the “Happy Reading - Live a Vigorous Life” activity held by the ROC Library Association and the Taipei City Library.

The activity included a procession and a “reading marathon.” During the parade, over a hundred and thirty fellow initiates, including adults and children, holding banners and placards showing the Supreme Master Television and Alternative Living messages, distributed informative materials and shouted slogans along the way. Our group attracted attention and positive affirmation from local citizens, and was acclaimed by the convener as the best procession team.

[Hsinchu] On April 21, Golden Year 4 (2007), local fellow initiates distributed Alternative Living leaflets to hikers on the Lion Head Mountain, which was brightly adorned with snow-white Tung flowers now in full bloom. Every person receiving a leaflet responded cheerfully. Vendors along the hiking trails were more than happy to have leaflets placed at their booths and to distribute them.

Vegetarian and Spiritual Lifestyle for Tsing Hua Students

On April 29, fellow initiates from National Tsing Hua University’s Light and Sound Club invited brothers and sisters from Taipei and Hsinchu to set up a booth for low-cost, delicious vegetarian food at their university’s annual fair. We also played Flash animated cartoons to explain the close relationship between a vegetarian lifestyle and environmental protection. The cartoons conveyed the profound message in a simple way, attracting children to repeated viewings. It was a great way to educate the young generation. We also distributed tissue packs printed with information about the Supreme Master Television, encouraging the public to watch positive news online to save the planet.

[Hsihu] On April 15, Golden Year 4 (2007), the Hsihu Center welcomed visits by Hsihu Township officials, including Chiefs of the Civil Affairs Section, Finance Section and Construction Section. On behalf of the Township Mayor and the local community, the officials presented a plaque of appreciation in recognition and commendation of The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association for its quiet dedication to public interests and service. Its charitable deeds include supporting local environmental protection efforts, holiday traffic directions, free medical consultation, caring for lonely elderly people, and assisting destitute households.

In his speech, Mr. Chang Chin-teh, Chief of the Construction Section, thanked the Association for its decade-long support in cleaning and maintaining the two main roads in Hsihu, which has helped the township win numerous national awards for excellence in environmental protection. In addition, during the traditional Chungyuan Festival and the two-month-long Hakka tomb-sweeping period, Association members earnestly helped direct traffic to ensure the safety of humans and vehicles. The local inhabitants regard the Association as an excellent organization and its members are good and loving people who always serve the public.
