Yet Another Exciting and Eventful Day for YAD!

YAD’s Temple Day at FGS South Island was a fulfilling and exciting one on 31st October. Upon arriving at the Temple, around ten YAD members took part in sutra calligraphy in the Buddha Hall, under the guidance of Venerable Miaoyu.

After the Venerable’s explanation of the merits and purposes of copying sutras with calligraphy, the youth group members sat down and with a sincere heart, copied the “Heart Sutra” using ink and calligraphy brush. At the completion of sutra calligraphy, the youth members reported to the kitchen to learn the art of culinary under the supervision of the kitchen staff; they learnt the basics of stir-frying foliage-type vegetables as well as deep frying mushrooms.

Through the YAD members’ hard work in the kitchen, everyone enjoyed a tasteful evening meal of vegetarian dishes. Following the after-meal cleanup, everyone watched a film during evening movie time. Participating in such a busy Temple Day, the youth group members gained a sense of fulfilment, and left for their homes in the anticipation of a fresh and hopeful tomorrow.
