Reported by Human Society reporter Zhiding, (Translated by Viva)

8/3 The Austin Buddha Light International Association invited the "We are blood" blood donation car to Xiang Yun Temple to hold a voluntary blood donation activity. 15 of the 20 participants met the blood donation standard.

Many enthusiastic blood donors, some of whom have benefitted from other people's blood donation, and now come back. For example, 26-year-old Sofia is a medical student. Since the age of 18, this is her 15th blood donation. Elizabeth has also donated blood since high school, and it has been 10 years now.

Susan and Larry Barkley participated in the blood donation activity for the fifth time. Senior sister Liu Peiru followed her mother since she was a child and developed her heart in Pumen Temple in Taipei, Foguang Mountain. At the age of 18, she actively participated in blood donation activities as long as she had it. The young man David, Marry Ann, and her friend Cindy also came to the Buddhist hall to participate.

Venerable Jueji, director of Xiang Yun Temple, said, "Donate a bag of blood to save people's lives." Blood donation can give back to society, serve the people with joy, implement three good and four favors, form a wide range of good relationships, and bring the care of human Buddhism into society!
