87/Love In Action/The Sun Shines On The Mid-Autumn Festival contents Love In Action <Hualien> Before the Mid-autumn Festival (also known as the Moon Festival), Master's love pervaded the typhoon-hit Hualien area. Fellow initiates, their ears filled with the music from the Buddhist Chanting tape, drove to the Hualien Family Support Center to deliver mooncakes.

When loading and unloading the mooncakes, little fellow initiates excitedly and happily counted the gifts bearing Master's blessings. However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not finish the count, which had the older initiates bursting into laughter.

The next day, fellow initiates distributed the mooncakes to needy families with the help of voluntary workers from the Family Support Center. During the distribution process, whenever initiates were introduced as representatives from the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association, they received a warm and wholehearted welcome from adults and children alike. Everyone was touched by Master's compassion and concern. As initiates were leaving, the local people were reluctant to see them go and waved good-bye many times.

For this activity, fellow initiates split up into groups in order to cover the long list of families they had to visit. From the mere thought of kindness to the actual presenting of gifts of love, fellow practitioners had the opportunity to learn more about how to transform loving hearts and thoughts into action.
