Reception of a Joyous Banquet in the Youthful Home

Written by Huanxin Celestial

December 16, 2023

On that day, we hosted a celebration for an elderly person's 80th birthday. Approximately 300 people came to the villa to join in the festive occasion, featuring a spectacular and dazzling performance by a song and dance troupe. One significant difference between the life in the Second Home and the secular society is that the residents, known as Chanyuan Celestials, never celebrate their own birthdays, nor do they celebrate the birthdays of others. There is no exchange of social obligations or the customary practice of giving birthday gifts. Our life is simple and pure, free from the troubles of worldly matters. For the celestials among us, every day is a joyful festival.

However, the Youthful Home is unique compared to other homes because of its operation as an agritainment venue, requiring us to meet the needs of our guests. Please enjoy the preparations and activities of our brothers and sisters.
