Spiritual Seminars and Recreational Activities
Brought Life and Warmth to Inmates

[Kinmen, reported by Tung Sen-pao] Members of The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association presented an excellent entertainment program to senior citizens and orphans at the House of Universal Brotherhood and Kinmen prison in a warm and enthusiastic atmosphere yesterday.

Director Yen En-wei of the House of Universal Brotherhood observed that the visit was a blessing for Kinmen, especially since The SMCH Association is widely known for its readiness to assist socially disadvantaged groups in Formosa. On this recent trip to Kinmen, initiates presented an outstanding performance prepared by volunteers, and also contributed NT$10,000 (approx. US$300) to the House of Universal Brotherhood for the purchase of food. Their spirit of helping and of providing relief to the needy sets an exemplary model for society.

Director Yen expressed his highest respect to The SMCH Association with the hope that it will continue to hold similar activities at Kinmen more often, and acquaint the inhabitants with the benefits of meditation.

During the trip, members of The SMCH Association introduced the Quan Yin Method and imparted the Convenient Method of meditation to inhabitants of the House of Universal Brotherhood and inmates at the prison, thus helping them walk from their gloomy past toward a new life and bright future.
