Happy Children's Day in Thailand Branch
June 1st, 2023
The immortal Laozi taught us to return to infancy, Jesus Christ taught us to become like children, and Buddha Shakyamuni taught us to return to our true nature. How do we become childlike and return to our true nature? By playing! Playing games is inherent to us. Living in Thailand Branch, apart from playing, there is nothing serious to do. Growing vegetables and flowers in nature is a pleasant and fulfilling game. Entertainment parties, singing and dancing, displaying the beauty of immortality are enjoyable games. Going out for excursions, enjoying the beauty of nature through mountain hiking and water play, is a delightful game.
On June 1st, the children of Thailand Branch held their first game and entertainment event, opening up a new way of playing.
At six in the morning, the Eight Immortals gathered together and recited the "Prayer for Living in the Second Home ," praying and expressing gratitude to the Greatest Creator. Then, facing the rising sun and the blooming flowers, they energetically performed the Green Tornado Opening Dance. Afterward, everyone excitedly arrived at the lush and soft "New Zealand Meadow" and played games such as "Climbing Mountains and Crossing Hills," "Drop the Handkerchief," "Eagle Catches Chicks," "Grabing Chairs," "Crawling Archway ," and "Five Cents a dollar." Later, they returned to the vicinity of the dining hall and played new games like "Hide-and-Seek" and "Blindfolded Banana Feeding." The games were endless, with various forms of punishment, and everyone chased, frolicked, and laughed in the grass, creating waves of laughter and joy under the blue sky and white clouds. The waves of excitement unfolded in the fields, and everyone played and rejoiced in the embrace of nature, immersing themselves in joy as if they had returned to their childhood or relived the beautiful moments of their heavenly homeland.
Thanks to the Jiao'e Celestial, who spent time planning the games to ensure everyone had a great time. Thanks to Jiao'e and Baichuan, the two fairies for taking photos and recording videos of the games throughout.
After the games ended, the fairies were still not satisfied. Jiejing Celestial took everyone to the nearby swimming pool to swim. Please enjoy the photos, thanks!
