A Heart-warming Vegan Lunar New Year Hot-pot Banquet, Part 2 of 5, February 4, 2019, New Land Ashram, Taiwan (Formosa)

Spring is the time of blooming flowers, green buds and blue sky. In the cycle of the universe, there is no other presence to make human heart so happy more than the presence of Spring and Beloved Master. Now, we invite you to enjoy the next performance to be presented by the Aulacese initiates, entitled “The First Spring.” “Hi, Master. This is the first spring we celebrate Happy Lunar New Year in the New Land, so we want to sing ‘The First Spring.’ It has lyrics: The mother looking at the child to go home and sit down.” “OK. Thank you. Good idea.” “Spring gently comes with the swallows A mother watches her returning children That spring we dreamt of is coming for the first time. Tears falling on his shoulders, Teardrops warm his shoulders. Happy moments seem glistening Oh, this moment, How I love my homeland in the first joyful spring! Oh, this moment! in your hand the first time, life is harmonious. From now on, people know their homeland. From now on, people know to love others.” Our next performance will be “Ganggangsullae” by the Korean choir. “Ganggangsullae With the South and the North hold hands Ganggangsullae Peaceful reunification of Korea Ganggangsullae The whole world with love Ganggangsullae A beautiful vegan world Ganggangsullae To the new Buddha’s Land Ganggangsullae Let's all go together Ganggangsullae Pray for Master’s longevity Ganggangsullae Be with us forever” Now, we are going to have a song about the homeland. The homeland in each person’s heart is the most beautiful, the most divine, and the closest thing. “The song of homeland, song of love, song of our hometown is so close to the heart.” Next, we welcome the performance titled “Searching for the Song of Love” to be presented by an Aulacese initiate. After enjoying a traditional folk song from Âu Lạc (Vietnam), a sister from China a sister from China will bring us a brilliant “Tai Chi Flower.”
