[Taipei]On the weekend of March 13-14, 2004, National Taiwan University (NTU) was immersed in an ocean of beautiful multi-colored flowers during the annual Azalea Festival, heralding the arrival of spring. The NTU Light and Sound Association, formed by fellow initiates, set up an exhibition booth focusing on the theme “Love is the Only Religion” and introducing a lifestyle enriched by spiritual enlightenment. Members of the Quan Yin family from other universities and colleges joined in the activity to sow the seeds of love.
During the Festival, countless students and crowds of people from outside the University visited the venue. Parents came with their children to participate in interesting family games designed by the initiates, such as “balloon painting,” “wishing fountain” and “poking fun,” creating a cheerful atmosphere. The children threw shiny cards containing their personal wishes into a wishing fountain in front of Master’s photo, and joyously painted their favorite patterns on balloons. In the “poking fun” game, players found prizes concealed in balloons, including candy, cookies and small cards printed with Master’s aphorisms, which the children examined happily. While the youngsters enjoyed themselves, their parents watched Master’s lecture videos. These exciting activities attracted a continuous stream of visitors.
