I would like to start off by expressing how grateful I am to Dr. Chang for inviting me and my fellow Dao Qing from Calgary to join his Cambodia medical clinical group this year. I have never had any experience travelling to developing countries and my goal for this trip was to develop a deeper understanding of those living in such countries. I understood that because of my lack of exposure to developing countries, my understanding of the quality of life of more than half the population of the world was limited at best.
‟Go to the people. Live with them, learn from them, love them. Start with what they know. Build with what they have.” --Lao Tzu
When I think about the sacrifices made by the Tao relatives who made our temple possible, I am embraced by feelings of love. Love made the temple a reality. Without knowing who would walk through the doors of the future temple, Tao relatives who came before us embraced the principles of Tao and grew great love in their hearts for us!
