One day before school resumed after the term break, on the 12th of October, Buddha’s Light International Association South Island Young Adult’s Division 2 gathered together at Fo Guang Shan South Island Temple to go for a bike ride.
Around 15 people attended, with YAD 1 president Wei Chia, YAD 2 president Danny Chen, YAD 2 vice-president Hao-Tin Lin and activity co-ordinator Shenghan Lim taking responsibility for their safety. As they left for their journey to Hagley Park, Venerable Juexi and BLIA North Island president gave their support, and reminded them to put safety first.
Everyone enjoyed their ride on the brilliant day, and everyone laugh with joy as they rode along. Fellow YAD members also gave their support and encouragement for the members who had less experience with riding bikes, which brought the team even closer and stronger. YAD 1 president Wei Chia even donated some mouldy bread so that the youths could use it to feed the ducks, and in doing so, brought the youths closer with the ducks!
