Master is very concerned about the disasters that have occurred recently
in various parts of the world, such as the drought in the West and the
floods in the East. Recently in America, hundreds have died during a severe
heat wave, and the floods in Asia have also caused many deaths, with countless
people being made homeless. The flooding in China alone displaced five
and a half million people. Energy generated deep in the Earth's crust is
also leading to earthquakes in many regions. For example, the western and
central parts of Turkey were hit recently by the most severe earthquake
in the country's history, resulting in tens of thousands being killed or
injured, and more than two hundred thousand people being left homeless.
In order to relieve the suffering of the Chinese flood victims, a total
of US$120,000 (see attached receipts A, B and C from banks) was sent to
the Red Cross in Switzerland. And upon learning that the Turkish earthquake
victims needed tents and blankets most urgently, Formosan, Hong Kong and
Singapore initiates immediately contributed more than 6,000 items, including
tents and sleeping bags, as well as medical supplies to Turkey.
Besides making monetary and material contributions to help the most affected
areas, Master also immediately instructed disciples worldwide to meditate
more and pray to God, in the hope that the benevolent ambience derived
from their meditation will create more positive energy in the world to
help alleviate the suffering of humankind.
