The Choir of The Queen\u2019s College, Oxford visited Taiwan for the first time, and they toured around Taiwan from March 21 through April 2. The April 1 performance at TCU was their last one, and they left Hualien on April 2. During this Taiwan trip, they interacted with Taiwan\u2019s high school students, college students, and various religious organizations. They appreciated cultural diversity in Taiwan, and were also impressed by Taiwanese people\u2019s friendliness and enthusiasm. TCU arranged a tea ceremony class and a tour around Tzu Chi\u2019s Complex for them, and the Silent Mentor Program and Tzu Chi\u2019s international relief efforts amazed them most.<\/p>\n

Chief Conductor Owen Rees was amazed by Tzu Chi\u2019s international relief efforts, powered by kindness and compassion, which also impressed the choir members. He was touched by those Silent Mentors who are willing to donate their bodies unselfishly for medical education, and several choir members, who are also medical students, understand very well the importance of anatomy towards medical education.<\/p>\n

TCU\u2019s Dean Kun-Ruey Shieh of the Office of Student Affairs said that we felt honored to be at their last performance, and our faculty, staff, students, and general public were very excited about this performance. All choir members are students, and thus TCU arranged various activities for the Oxford students to interact with TCU students.<\/p>\n

The tea ceremony class enabled Oxford\u2019s faculty and students to relax. Tea drinking is popular in the United Kingdom, yet it was the first time for many Oxford students to experience Chinese tea drinking. The teacher demonstrated each step, from warming the cup and pot, waking the tea, holding the tea pot, distilling tea into each cup, to offering tea. The Head of the Choir Matthew Reese pointed out that they had had a busy schedule that day, waking up at 5:00 AM, and catching an early train from Taipei to Hualien. The tea ceremony session is filled with tranquility and serene, which was very helpful for them to calm their minds. Some members indicated that they were very interested in learning our tea ceremony.<\/p>\n
