On November 12, Fo Guang Shan (FGS) Chung Tian Temple held a wheelchair donation event at the Maitreya Meditation Garden. Following the donation of 100 wheelchairs to various communities in 2023, this year’s donation focuses specifically on supporting local Indigenous communities. Through a connection with Indigenous Elder and artist Aunty Peggy Tidyman, FGS donated 16 wheelchairs featuring the "Three Acts of Goodness" message to Indigenous organizations in need, including Gunya Meta Inc., Burringilly Respite Care, and Georgina Hostel and Aged Care Facility.

The event was attended by FGS Chung Tian Temple Abbess Venerable Man Wang, BLIA Queensland Chapter Executive Member Ralph Smith, Secretary Lingling Su, Indigenous Elders Aunty Peggy Tidyman and Uncle Phil, as well as representatives from the recipient organisations, with a total of 10 participants present for this meaningful occasion.
