228 Taiwanese Spirits Taesiong Scripture

Chapter 4: The Shepherd

 

Those 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.

Announcing plans for a procession to be held on Thursday in Taipei, pro-independence groups yesterday said they hoped to pass on the memories of the 228 Massacre so that similar mistakes would never be repeated.

The 228 Incident refers to the violent suppression of anti-government uprisings by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) that began on Feb. 28, 1947 — 16 months after the end of Japanese colonial rule.

Between 18,000 and 30,000 people, the majority of them Taiwanese and in particular leaders and intellectuals, are estimated to have been killed.
