Sharing the Truth in
Kaohsiung Women's Prison
A Lighthouse in the Darkness

 

 

 

 

[Kaoping] The Kaohsiung Women's Prison is situated in the Xiaogang region of Kaohsiung City in Formosa. The Prison is a large facility for women, with about seven hundred and fifty inmates. For some time, other religious groups have carried out spiritual work in the Prison. Similarly, The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association has been engaged in spiritual work in Formosa's prisons for many years, and these activities are deeply appreciated by various sectors of society. So recently, the Kaohsiung Prison's authorities opened its doors to welcome local initiates to hold a Truth-sharing program there.

When we arrived at the Prison, the authorities sincerely greeted us. On seeing their warmly decorated venue, our fellow initiates could feel their heartfelt attention to detail. The program started with singing led by sister initiates, whose warmth and passion immediately narrowed the distance between the working staff and the inmates. Next came the beautiful songs of the initiates' choir and a skilled dance performance. The inmates applauded the wholehearted performance of the sisters with continuous clapping. The venue was immersed in a harmonious atmosphere, with uninterrupted sounds of laughter.

After the performance we played two of Master's videotapes, 'Walk the Way of Love' and 'One World ... of peace through music.' The whole venue became warm and harmonious with the blessing of Master's love. Afterwards, a Quan Yin messenger imparted the Convenient Method, and all the inmates learned very attentively, with many in tears.

After the seminar, the deputy warden of the Prison represented the authorities in receiving our gift of Master's books, audiotapes, and other items. She also spoke affirmatively of the spirit and love of The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association. Finally, fellow initiates distributed Master's sample booklets and blessed food to the inmates. This work of sharing ended with the warm applause of the inmates and their reluctance to part from us.
