Taesiong ScriptureThose who guard our country and protect Taiwan are respected by all in Heaven. Propitiousness, too, shall follow. All evils shall abandon afar. Innumerable spirits shall protect and bless them. All the doings of righteous ways of democracy, upheld by the Origin Destiny’s Heavenly Principles, shall achieve the Great Bodhisattva of Taiwan as the fruit. Such is cultivating action, is truthful action; is a Shepherd who truly achieve the great vows.
Newsflash
President-elect William Lai (賴清德) yesterday said he would work to safeguard the nation’s security and democracy to ensure freedom and economic prosperity, and that the tragic events of the 228 Incident “never happen in Taiwan again.” The Incident refers to the indiscriminate killing of a person in a crowd on Feb. 27, 1947, and the gunning down by the then-Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) government of protesters at a resulting demonstration the next day. It was followed by a brutal crackdown. Estimates of the number of eventual deaths vary from 10,000 to more than 30,000. The Incident was closely followed by the White Terror era in Taiwan. |
