2023 "Buddhist and Taoist Dichotomy: Reception from the Other Shore"

🪄 Hey! Do you know about the so-called "craftsman spirit"? It's a dedication and effort put into something while also embodying strong self-requirements and deep emotional investment in life. It's a persistent and pure sharing of the process, attitude, and craftsmanship of becoming a craftsman, a legacy passed down. When we reflect carefully, we realize that the preciousness of these works lies in their value, not their worldly price. 🏮 The Taipei Jin Huan Tai Zi Hui's Gui Mao Year "Buddha and Tao Dual Principles: Guiding to the Other Shore" Pudu Dharma Assembly has been successfully concluded. From the initial preparation and planning, continuous meetings, discussions, revisions, and adjustments, volunteers from all walks of life united their efforts in chanting scriptures to gather strength, hand-folding lotuses, clothing, and other immense quantities of paper offerings. Two days before the assembly, the altar was set up, and all equipment and items for the dharma rituals were arranged. As the assembly began, everyone performed their duties, even proactively assisting with great care. The focused expressions on everyone's faces, and the intention of everyone moving in the same direction, showed us true "💛 unity of heart," surpassing the commonly spoken phrase of unity. This year's Jin Huan Pudu was most unique in its "❣️ benefit for both the living and the deceased." What moved us most was the initial announcement that all purchased, prepared, and subsequently handled offerings this year would primarily cater to the needs of public welfare organizations, and all would be donated without remainder. We received your strong support and affirmation 🙌🏻, and the task of preparing over ten thousand offerings, unpacking them on-site, repacking them, and distributing them into 10 donation units required meticulousness, patience, concentration, and dedication. This was ultimately completed and smoothly delivered, truly thanks to your hands, your strength, and your hearts that made it happen 👍🏻.
