Master surveys the schools

I came to Min Ho Middle School with Master Cheng Yen on Apirl 7, 2001. The main structure of the school was completed, and the workers were preparing to apply washed-stone finishing to the exterior.

Master had been on the road for several days visiting different construction sites. From April 5 to 7, Master went to 28 Hope Project schools, and she did not slow down. It went without saying that the trip was taxing on her health. It was almost dusk when she arrived at Min Ho Middle School. All of the crew who had been following her appeared very exhausted.

Through the lens of my camera, Master's silhouette was strong and upright as always, but we all knew she was overexerting herself.

Master Cheng Yen often told us: A common, bustling life passes by like a single day. But when one give selflessly, the very moment turns into eternity.
