appreciation to all the mothers in the world, and to their most beloved, Master
Mommy, for giving them everything, leading them steadily through the course

Fellow
Initiates take delight in cleaning up the environment in central Formosa
[Report
From Central Formosa] Fellow initiates, young and old, in central
Formosa happily volunteered to clean the streets of Tongxiao and the breakwater
of Rich Autumn Garden in response to International Environmental Protection
Day.
Many parents, setting good examples
by their actions, also verbally instructed the young initiates on the importance
of environmental cleanliness and ways to accomplish it. Little ones could be
seen earnestly sweeping the streets and collecting the garbage. Even those who
were too young to work served as supervisors, pointing at trash overlooked,
making the work more fun, and raising its efficiency.

Annual Lifetime Learning Exhibition Proves Interesting
Among
the participants in this year's exhibition were the Yunlin and Chiayi
Centers of a religious group known as the Supreme Master Ching Hai International
Association. The Centers exhibited printed and audio materials on their
selected theme, "Developing Potential Abilities Through Spiritual Revitalization,"
as well as spiritual works of art. The group is known for its concern
for politically disadvantaged groups and frequent visits to prisons
to edify the inmates. It also pays special attention to recycling and
environmental protection, and sponsors monthly clean up activities in
the vicinity of Jenyi Lake and Lan Lake.
[Report
from Chiayi, Formosa] On
April 18 & 19, the 1998 Lifetime Learning Exhibition was held in the Chiayi
County Stadium in Potzu, central Formosa by the Chiayi County Government. The
Chiayi fellow initiates participated in this exhibition, with the theme of "Developing
Potential Capabilities Through Spiritual Revitalization."
The exhibition was
separated into two parts: Dynamic performances and static display. Fellow practitioners
won widespread acclaim for their brilliant and dynamic performances from the
program sponsors, who found truth in the claim that this demonstration was only
a small portion of the potential that can be developed through the practice
of the Quan Yin Method.

The Supreme Master Ching Hai
International Asso-ciation Raises Interest in Cleaner World and Elevation
of Soul. For the static display,
the Chiayi Center was allotted the first booth at the exhibition venue where
Quan Yin messengers provided spiritual counsel and answered questions from visitors.
Sister initiates of
the Celestial Clothes group were the epitome of graceful nobility when clad
in the Celestial Clothes. On the second day of the event, the sponsors spontaneously
broadcast spiritual songs by the Supreme Master Ching Hai throughout the venue,
bathing visitors in Her ocean of love. Delegates from the Potzu Tsai Puken Cultural
Foundation requested sample booklets and magazines, and solicited regular contributions
of articles from the Center to publish in their periodicals.

Loving Food Land
Tainan Loving Food Land Store
[Combined
Report From All Of Formosa] Loving Food Land formally opened five
chain stores around Formosa on April 25 and 26.
The chain stores opened
with a series of activities varying from seminars on health issues to cooking
classes and vegetarian food sampling.
Loving Food operations
range from pure vegetarian bakeries to sales outlets that provide friendly customer
service and free recipes year-round. Delivery service is also available.
In a stringent screening
process designed to reassure shoppers who want only pure vegetarian foods, Loving
Food Land food inspectors often visit factories and conduct careful analyses
of the products.
Loving Food Restaurant opens in
Ilan after an extraordinary transaction.
On May 9, the first
Loving Food Vegetarian Restaurant held its grand opening in Ilan. There is an
unusual story behind the establishment of this restaurant. Initiates were looking
for a suitable location when they came across a steak house next to the Ilan
Cultural Center that was for sale. In negotiations with the owner, they learned
that someone had already made an offer, but the owner was waiting for a buyer
interested in establishing a vegetarian restaurant. He said that the Quan Yin
Bodhisattva had appeared to him and told him not to allow meat transactions
to be carried on at that place any longer. Perhaps it was the will of God that
the initiates came to him that day!
