On the last Sunday of March, during the period when the Hsihu Center was not open to the public, many fellow initiates took the opportunity to come to the Center to clean and beautify the Bamboo Grove (a favorite spot for meditation) and the Rainbow Garden. The weather was fine and comfortable that day, as fellow initiates first meditated in the Main Hall to prepare for the day's work and recharge themselves with vitality, which was clearly discernible on their glowing faces. Afterwards, the volunteers split into two squads to work in the Bamboo Grove and Rainbow Garden, respectively.

In the Bamboo Grove meditation area, fellow initiates first sawed off withered yellow bamboo to make room for young green bamboo shoots and allow sunlight to shine into the grove. The sawn off bamboo was then moved to the roadside and cut into shorter sections so that it could be carried away in trucks. The workers' next task was bamboo transplantation, which involved sawing bamboo plants to a suitable length before uprooting them and then replanting them in new, designated spots. After this rearrangement, the Bamboo Grove became brighter and the ventilation improved. Sunlight, filtering through the bamboo leaves swaying in the wind, projected glittering spots of light on the ground. The Bamboo Grove thus took on a charming new look.

Through the loving care of resident initiates over the years, the eight banyan trees in the Rainbow Garden flourished. Their roots grew so strong and extensive, however, that they had begun to block the Center's lavatory sewage system. Thus, the resident initiates decided to find a new home for the banyan trees on the other side of the Rainbow Garden near the High-speed Railway, which borders the Center. This relocation not only solved the sewage problem, but also allowed the thick branches and leaves of the banyan trees to shield the Center from the sand and dust produced by recent construction work on the Railway. To supply sufficient nutrients for the fruit trees, the resident initiates prepared special organic fertilizers made from rice bran. Now that fellow initiates have lovingly applied these fertilizers, plenty of fruit will surely grow on the trees in the near future.
