Mini-concert
<<Previous    

 

     

After a marvelous performance by the Taiwanese Traditional Music Association, the morning program came to an end. The school principle invited the guests to a buffet lunch, which had vegetarian and non-vegetarian areas. The non-vegetarian section started first, but the vegetarian dishes would come a little late.

All of a sudden, the sound of flute and singing came from the corridor. Some Tzu Chi volunteers had taken the chance to set up a mini-concert. A group of volunteers surrounded Chen-ching Liu, who was playing the flute. They took out the Tzu Chi music selection and played the songs one by one. They turned a thirty-minute wait into fun-filling music time. When they finished the piece "Three Sincere Wishes", the vegetarian dishes were all ready.

Volunteers from central Taiwan came not only to celebrate the school's reopening, but also brought the full set of Hope Project posters. They always remembered to introduce more people to Tzu Chi, to understand Tzu Chi, and join the Tzu Chi family. In my two years of working in Tzu Chi, I realized that work was enjoyable to them, and the way they enjoyed themselves was to work and contribute. Each one of them sacrificed personal enjoyment while enjoying their personal sacrifice. Their spirit touched people who got to know them.

When I was taking pictures for this impromptu music concert, a volunteer gave me her camera and asked me to take a picture for them. Of course, I was happy to be at the service of Tzu Chi people whom I admired.
