Celebrating Lantern Festival in Lifechanyuan Canada Branch

During the Lantern Festival, Lifechanyuan Canada Branch held simple celebration activities. Xinrui prepared a delicious lunch, and for dinner, each person had a bowl of tangyuan (sweet glutinous rice balls). E Huang made four small "lanterns" herself. After dinner, each of us held a lantern, lined up, led by Guide Xuefeng, and walked around our main gate and main building, praying to various gods. Finally, we set off some fireworks and had three bonfires. I only took some pictures, please enjoy them.

The carefully cultivated and meticulously cared for flowers by E Huang are a beautiful sight in Lifechanyuan Canada Branch, and one of the important reasons why guests give high praise. Guests who come here are immediately attracted by the exquisite flower bonsai that greets them as soon as they enter the living room. Each plant sways gracefully, exuding a welcoming fragrance for the arrival of guests from afar.

Lifechanyuan Canada Branch's orchids were sent from Vancouver by Tongtian and Huiyin several years ago. Last Christmas, they bloomed abundantly with over a hundred flowers, bringing us great joy. Recently, they have shown signs of budding again, as if knowing Tongxin was coming back, blooming overnight to welcome her.

The small lanterns made by E Huang were lit all night last night. Guide Xuefeng said it is an auspicious sign, so please enjoy our little lanterns too!
