Visiting mental patients in Duc Trong, Bao Loc
February 1, 2020
Dear benefactors,
The happiness of Tu Bi’s Association, Lieu Duyen is annually accompanied by Chu Nuns and Buddhists of Loc Uyen Pagoda in Da Lat, Lam Dong province. Tu Bi Foundation donated 400 food gifts to patients and waiters at the Institute of Mental Care in Duc Trong City – Lam Dong. This center is run by Sister Hang, and accepts the help of charities. Once again, Lieu Duyen was surprised, ‘shocked’ when he heard a uncle at the center say: “I just converted, there are also a few people like me” Maybe this is what they have to do if they want to. continue to work in this center. This is a pity when people have to choose a meal based on their own spirituality and beliefs in order to survive.
The program showed the spirit of irrespective of religion, the power of human love connecting Buddhists and the nuns to visit the mental patients. It is known that this is a dish that the patient loves, so Buddhists at Loc Uyen Pagoda have divided their efforts to make 400 servings of food to distribute to the patient. In addition, the pagoda’s teenage Buddhists together with the monks and nuns packed 400 gifts including coconut, candy, and soft drinks in order to contribute their efforts, bless and share the gift full of love. patients.
In February, Tet was just over and it was during the Covid epidemic season. Many items at the supermarket had not returned in time. It is not easy to earn 400 packs of candy. Lieu Duyen and Su Co have bought all the candies in the supermarket. Also, a little embarrassed that other customers don’t have candies to buy. The next part to worry about is going to find masks for members, when markets no longer sell masks. (out of stock).
In the situation of Covid happening in Vietnam, the way to protect the health of the members is to wear a mask and medical gloves to protect the team. The delegation completed the work in two camps for Men and Women with joy and we feel that this work is even more meaningful during the Covid season! Because many people are afraid to go out.
We sincerely thank Nuns Minh Lien, ladies and gentlemen of Loc Uyen Pagoda for making Tu Bi Foundation able to perfect this dharma.
Sincere gratitude to the benefactor.
Tu Bi Foundation
