Giving of Ourselves to Benefit Others and Care for the Environment

一念之差入歧途
翻轉人生履正行
施醫施藥助貧病
環保菩薩獻良能

If elderly people are all like them,
how would an aging society be a problem?
They find themselves useful
and feel that they can
still make good use of their lives
as they can still give of themselves
by doing recycling to care for the environment.
I'm truly pleased to have seen our elderly volunteers during my trip this time.
(They all view doing recycling work as exercise.)
One of them pushes a wheelchair as she takes a walk every day and picks up whatever recyclables she sees and puts them on her wheelchair.
She said it's better than being pushed on a wheelchair herself.
She'd rather push the wheelchair than be pushed on it by someone else.
So, she decided to push a wheelchair around the neighborhood (to collect recyclables) and take them back to our recycling station.
They have their own philosophy and their perspectives on life are all good.
They're truly leading a life full of love.
