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
The Legislative Yuan yesterday passed bills proposed by opposition lawmakers that would increase legislators’ oversight of the government as thousands of demonstrators gathered outside the venue to protest the changes. The legislature passed the amendments to the Act Governing the Legislative Yuan’s Power (立法院職權行使法) after a day of raucous debates and scuffles between the governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), and the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP), which saw one lawmaker’s T-shirt ripped. Progress on passing revisions to the act had been slow earlier in the day, as the DPP made legislators go through all 77 articles of the act — even those not being changed — as a stalling tactic. |
