Nearly 80 top-quality delicious vegetarian dishes support 500 Haitian orphans in South Africa (photo) (Alberta Times) "200!" "3 here!" "197!" "I want 10!" "187!"... "And the last 10!" "3!" "Only 7!" "5 here!" "2 left!" "I'll add 2 more!" The audience cheered! At 13:00 noon on August 20, Cijun Huang Yulian stood at the charity luncheon and publicly conducted a pledge event for 200 Haitian and South African orphans. On that day, nearly 80 virtuous people from Phoenix City pledged a total of 500 Haitian and South African orphans and prepared funds for a year of food for them. Luncheon Scene: The Tzu Chi Charity Luncheon started at 12 o'clock. As soon as you walked into the Jing Si Hall, the main color of blue sky and white clouds, neat tableware, tables and chairs, it is no exaggeration to say that it is no different from a star hotel. What is special is that the charity lunch that day is completely vegetarian, and advocates the concepts of health and environmental protection. This theme can be reflected in every detail of the banquet design. The tableware on the table is not ordinary chopsticks. These are eco-friendly chopsticks developed by Tzu Chi. They are made of metal and can be carried around and used repeatedly. The healthier ones are the dishes of the day: the Five Blessings and Wisdom Platter, full of Dharma joy, rejuvenation of the earth, the fragrance of the bright moon, the dual cultivation of blessing and wisdom, joy and destiny, the fragrance of Bodhi Buddha, understanding and tolerance, you and me, peace and auspicious fruits, ten perfect dishes. Master Cheng Yen of Tzu Chi gave a sermon to the guests. In the Jing Si Hall, music slowly played. Eight senior brothers, dressed in neat clothes and holding delicious dishes, marched neatly into the lobby to the rhythm of the music to serve delicious food to the great virtues. Serving the dishes Mingyue Hugenxiang These dishes are not only beautiful to look at, but you can only know the beauty of them when you eat them. Vegetable rolls: Mingyuehu has a fragrant root. When you bite into it, the strong mushroom flavor overflows. It reminds you of the taste of natural wild mushrooms you ate in pollution-free mountainous areas when you were a child. Bodhi Buddha Xiang carefully changes the Taiwanese specialty "Lu Pork Rice" into a vegetarian version, which still has the aroma of meat. They all come from carefully cooked vegetarian ingredients. These delicacies that combine color, aroma and taste must be made by professional chefs, right? Of course not, these are all delicacies cooked with care by Tzu Chi brothers and sisters. From the etiquette of serving dishes, to seeing the colorful dishes, and tasting the natural beauty of these vegetarian dishes, you will find that every Tzu Chi volunteer is communicating with the great virtues attentively, using every detail of the lunch service as a stage to show kindness and sincerity. The senior brothers and sisters expressed their gratitude to the eminent persons, "I sincerely pray that the world will be free from disasters and the world will be safe and free from suffering. May the earth be caressed with kind thoughts, and the world will be filled with love and care." The senior brothers and sisters who are responsible for reception, serving, and cooking took the stage to sing "Love and Care" in sign language. They not only used their daily voluntary services to demonstrate Tzu Chi's spirit of "truth", "kindness" and "beauty", but also sincerely expressed their gratitude to the eminent persons for their support of charity. Along with the singing, the big screen in the banquet hall brought the celebrities to distant places such as Haiti and South Africa, allowing the guests to see that the children who were skinny and skinny due to hunger still had the same innocent smiles on their faces as the children around us... However, each person only needs to save 5 yuan, a cup of coffee, or half a meal per month to feed these children for a month. So, at the beginning of the article, there was a scene where all the great sages rushed to donate. Mr. Yu Wenjin, a senior overseas Chinese leader, took the stage to speak on behalf of all the great virtues. He said that there were many charitable organizations he had contact with in the United States, and Tzu Chi was the one that made him feel most at ease. Give the money to them and it will be used on those who need it most. If you would like to send some care to the children in Haiti and South Africa, please contact: Tzu Chi Phoenix Liaison Office Tel: (480) 838-6556 Address: 2145 West Elliot Road Chandler, AZ 85224
