In alignment with Earth Day, the Buddha's Light International Association Philippines – Bacolod Chapter conducted a tree-planting extravaganza, injecting new vitality into environmental conservation.

Spearheaded by English Secretary Cora, the project liaised with the Bacolod City Government and Talisay Government, garnering support for tree sapling sponsorship and planting sites. On April 19th, they visited the Bacolod Department of Agriculture to receive the prepared saplings. On April 21st, led by Venerable Zhi Rong from Yuan Thong Temple, President Margarate Cordova, Supervisor Rosita Gochangco, Bacolod Youth Volunteer Amity Group, Bacolod Chapter Youth Group Rheya and Ciara, along with over twenty enthusiastic participants from the Yuan Thong Temple's SanHao Group including teachers Rutha and Virnie, journeyed to the mountainous region of Talisay, commencing this green initiative.

Despite the scorching weather, participants' hearts blazed with enthusiasm as they hand in hand planted saplings on the mountainside. Walking upon the earth, surrounded by nature, they felt the beauty and sanctity of life. These saplings not only symbolize greenery but also embody a commitment to love and protect the Earth.

Guided by Talisay personnel, they found the most suitable locations, gently planting each tree into the soil. The trees planted this time are hardwood, which will grow into a part of the forest, enriching the land in the future.

This tree-planting event saw the planting of over a hundred trees. It was not merely an action but also an embodiment of giving back to nature and expressing love for the Earth. Special thanks to Atty. BEDRIO from the Department of Agriculture for their tremendous assistance in ensuring the smooth progress of this event. Let us join hands and work together to protect our home, filling the Earth with greenery for sustainable prosperity!

Virnie mentioned it was their first time participating in tree planting, and it was very meaningful to breathe fresh air on the mountain while exercising. Rosita Gochangco expressed that despite mobility limitations, being able to participate to the best of their ability and experience various aspects of the Buddha's Light International Association and Fo Guang Shan very fulfilling.

配合地球日,國際佛光會菲律賓協會描戈律分會進行了一場植樹盛宴,為環境保護注入了新的生命力。由英文秘書Cora主導的計畫,聯絡了描戈律市政府以及Talisay政府,獲得了樹苗贊助和種植場地的支持,並於4月19日前往描戈律農業部,接收了準備好的樹苗。4月21日,由圓通寺知榮法師帶領會長陳珍珍、督導王瓊蘭,描戈律義消青年Amity、描戈律分會青年團Rheya、Ciara,以及圓通寺三好社教班老師Rutha、Virnie等20多位熱心參與者,來到了Talisay山區,開啟了這場綠色行動。

即使天氣炎熱,但參與者們的心是火熱的,他們心手相連,將樹苗一棵棵地種植在山上。踏著大地,身處自然之中,感受到了生命的美好與神聖。這些樹苗,不僅是綠色的象徵,更是對地球的愛與保護的承諾。

在Talisay協助人員的指引下,大家找到了最適合的位置,每一棵樹都被溫柔地種植在土壤中。這次所種的樹種是硬木樹,它們將在未來成長為森林的一部分,為這片土地增添生氣。

這場植樹活動共植下百餘顆樹,它不僅僅是一場行動,更是一次對自然的回饋、對地球的愛的體現。感謝農業部Atty. BEDRIO的大力協助,讓這次活動順利進行。讓我們攜手合作,共同維護我們的家園,讓地球充滿綠色,永續繁榮!

Virnie提到自己是第一次參與種樹,能夠到山上呼吸清新空氣,又能運動,非常有意義。王瓊蘭表示,雖然行動不便,但能夠盡力參與其中,在佛光會佛光山體驗很多的不同。
