中國華僑傳媒網 – 滕飛副主席捐画义卖拍得六千多澳元捐给ACC

A (4-square-foot) Chinese landscape painting created by Mr. Teng Fei, the vice chairman of the World Chinese Mass Media Association, the president of Ascendas Australian Chinese News Agency, and the first-class Chinese artist. At the charity dinner party hosted by the Whitehorse City Hall Auditorium in Melbourne, Australia on the 1st evening, the charity auction was auctioned for AU$6,100 and all donated to African ACC charities.
Mr. Teng Fei has known Master Huili for six years under the introduction of Liu Zhenxiong and Huang Liangzhou from the German Church in Melbourne.
He expressed great admiration for Master Huili who traveled across the oceans from Taiwan to Africa. He has no self, helped orphans, and dedicated everything he has done for 25 years.
Teng Fei told reporters: He has come into contact with many Buddhist and Christian sages, and the one he praises most is Master Huili.
Not everyone can do what Master Huili is engaged in. Can you leave your hometown to Africa for decades without making a cent, just to save the lives of orphans in Africa?
And it is not only saving lives, but also cultivating talents. The world-famous Doctor Bethune has saved many lives, and Master Huili has gone a step further and saved more than 8,000 hearts.

Master Huili opened a campus in Malawi, hoping to help children devastated by natural disasters, diseases, wars and poverty. And promoted the Buddhist spirit of Purdue sentient beings to Lesotho, Swaziland and Namibia. So far, it has sponsored nearly 1,000 African children and even the orphans taken care of by the CBO ACC has taken care of more than 8,000 children in total! ACC plans to open a fifth hospital in Mozambique. It is currently awaiting approval from the local government and hopes to continue to set up preparatory offices in 54 African countries including Kenya.

Inspired by Master Huili's perseverance and great compassion and kindness, through years of hard work, a large number of young talents have been cultivated. This magnificent action by Master Huili has touched thousands of people and won the support of governments and all walks of life.
These African children are versatile, can speak Mandarin, sing Chinese songs, and can perform Shaolin martial arts. This is the third time I have come to Melbourne for charity activities, and it has received extensive attention and support from all sectors of Melbourne society.

At the main table of the venue, Master Huili accompanied the guests: Chen Qiongyu, Director of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Melbourne; City of Whitehorse Mayor Cr. Andrew Davenport; Yang Qianhui; Master Rushan; Dai Zhaoguo; Zhou Yuda; Wang Huaide; Wang Guiying; Liu Zhenxiong; Zeng Junjie; Teng Fei waited.

At the meeting, Chen Qiongyu, Director of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Melbourne, and City of Whitehorse Mayor Cr. Andrew Davenport, City of Whitehorse Mayor Cr. Andrew Davenport; delivered speeches successively expressing welcome and appreciation to Master Huili and his entourage, and deep admiration for ACC's charity work Call on all sectors of the community to do their best to support.

Then, Master Huili took the stage to give a speech, briefly introducing the growth and development process of ACC, and expressed sincere thanks to people from all walks of life in Melbourne for their practical actions and sincere help over the years.

A certificate of appreciation will be issued to the kind and charitable people who have been enthusiastically sponsored to express ACC's heart and blessings. These units and their names are as follows: Yunyang Temple, Jingzong Society, Baolin Temple, Melbourne Economic and Cultural Office, Baima City, Australia-China Painting and Calligraphy Art Exchange Association, World Chinese Mass Media Association, Teng Fei Australian Chinese News Agency, Governor Liu Xiaoyuan, Vegie Bow, 21 Taras Thangka Exhibition 2018, Serenity Acupuncture & Wellness, V Series, Tokyo Teppanyaki, Tastea, RTR Production, Xu Baofeng, Ma Shiyuan, John Zhao, Maryanne Lim, Julianne L,, Chee Hien Mok, HB Lim, Chen Shikai, Guo Yilong, Chen Guanqun, Teng Fei, etc. ,

After the vegetarian banquet began, the performance officially opened. The program is dazzling and colorful, and the vegetarian dishes are bright in color and delicious. A feast for the mouth and the eyes.
There are diversified forms of performances, including African folk dances, martial arts group dances, solo singing and group singing. There are even humorous, humorous and funny like stand-up comedy or one-man show. Most of them sing in Mandarin, but also English. There are Taiwanese folk songs, Chinese pop songs, and African folk songs and dances. The content is very healthy and progressive, carrying forward the national spirit, advocating equality and freedom, and learning Chinese civilization. There is even a demonstration of Chinese Kung Fu based on disciples rules.
The calligraphy and painting auctions and lucky draws are inserted in the middle.
A four-square-foot Chinese landscape painting created by Mr. Teng Fei, the vice chairman of the World Chinese Mass Media Association, the president of Ascendas Australian Chinese News Agency, and the Chinese national first-class artist, set off a wave of enthusiasm.
The auction started from A$800. Under the promotion of the two hosts Zheng Hongshan and Liu Rong, the auction price has risen all the way. From an increase of 50 yuan each time to two thousand yuan, I have to mention the need to add 100 yuan once. Soaring all the way, and finally after two young Shanren Zhou Yuda and Ping Wu jointly auctioned $6100.
According to Teng Fei's original wishes, all the money from this auction was donated to ACC.
Master Huili was as happy as everyone else. I stepped forward and gave a speech in front of the displayed landscape painting. It can be seen that the kindness of Melbourne's folk customs is really the Buddha's light, and the compassionate love is universally praised.

Next is the lucky draw. The director of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Melbourne, Chen Qiongyu, and the Mayor of Whitehorse City, City of Whitehorse Mayor Cr. Andrew Davenport; draw various prizes. The winners came to the stage happily to receive the award. The final prize: a large flat-screen TV, won by the Mervyn Lim couple. What is touching is that after they got the flat-screen TV from the mayor of White Horse, they decided to donate it immediately and auctioned it on the spot. As a result, they sold for 1000 Australian dollars, all donated to ACC.

Volunteers from the Thanksgiving Journey Committee include: Zhang Lingmin, Zheng Wanrong, Qin Gaoqi, Liu Zhenxiong, Liu Liang Lijun, Li Jinrong, Liang Xueyun, Lin Yicheng, Luo Jiawei, Mo Zhiquan, Liang Zhongren, Cai Zuhe, Tang Xiuqing, Sornsuda, Ruan Amei, Zhang Xiuning, Tseng Junjie, etc. All of them have given their love for their hard work and service, and have been praised by everyone.

Finally, the little African actors took turns to introduce themselves, express their mottos, and encourage each other. Then the whole group went to the finale of the chorus. The ACC charity evening was a complete success in the joy of music and singing. Master Huili and the main guest took a group photo with the children. Many guests also enthusiastically stepped forward to take photos with the African friends, leaving an indelible memory.

世界华文大众傳播媒体协会副主席、腾飞澳洲华人通讯社社长、中国国家一级美术师滕飛先生创作的一幅（4平尺）中国山水画，在由非洲ACC（阿弥陀佛关怀中心)于2017年12月1日晩上假座澳大利亚墨尔本的白马市市政厅礼堂主办的慈善素宴晚会上，慈善义拍，拍得六千一百澳元，悉数捐赠非洲ACC的慈善事业。
滕飞先生在墨尔本德教会刘振熊,黄良洲的引见下已认识慧礼法师六年。
对于慧礼法师从台湾远渡重洋奔赴非洲，舍已无我、救济孤儿，25年如一日地奉献自己的一切，表示出极大的倾佩。
滕飞告诉记者:他接触过很多佛教及基督教圣贤,而最最让他称颂的便是慧礼法师。
慧礼法师从事的事业,不是每个人都能做到的。试问您能背井离乡去非洲连续几十年,却不赚一分钱,只为挽救非洲孤儿的生命吗?
而且不仅是救人生命,还育人成材。闻名世界的白求恩大夫,救治了很多人的生命,而慧礼法师更进一步,救了八千多颗人心。

慧礼法师于马拉威(Malawi)开设院区，希望帮助受天灾、疾病、战乱和贫穷摧残的儿童。并将佛教普渡众生精神推广至赖索托(Lesotho)、史瓦济兰(Swaziland)和纳米比亚(Namibia)，至今助养近1000名非洲儿童，连计院外部落救济站(CBO)照顾的孤儿，ACC合共照顾了8000多名孩童! ACC计划于莫桑比克(Mozambique)开设第五间院区，目前正等候当地政府审批，并希望继续在包括肯亚(Kenya)等54个非洲国家设立筹备处。

在慧礼法师坚韧不拔意志和大慈悲、大善心的感召下，通过多年努力，培养出大批年轻人才。慧礼法师的这个博大宏伟的行动，感动了千千万万的人，得到了各国政府和社会各界支持。
这些非洲孩子们都是多才多艺，能讲国语，唱中文歌曲，能表演少林武术。这是第三次来到墨尔本作慈善活动了，受到墨尔本社会各界的广泛关注和支持。

中间又插入书画拍卖与幸运抽奖等。
由世界华文大众传播媒体协会副主席、腾飞澳洲华人通讯社社长、中国国家一级美术师滕飛先生创作的一幅（4平尺）中国山水画义拍，掀起一阵热潮。
从800澳元起拍，在两位主持人郑鸿杉，刘蓉的宣传推介下，拍价一路攀升，从每次加50元，到升至两千元之后，不得不提到需加100元一次，依然一路飚升，最后在周裕达、ping wu两位青年善仁共同拍得$6100元之后一锤定音。
依照滕飛原先的意愿，这笔义拍的善款全数捐给ACC。
慧礼法师和大家一样十分高兴。上前在展示的山水画前面发表了感言。可见墨尔本民风的善良，真是佛光普照，大慈大悲的心仪普世传颂。
