| Earthquake Relief Appreciated
Xinjiang Province |
By fellow initiates in China (Originally in Chinese) On January 25, 2009, an earthquake measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale shook the Qapqal Xibe Autonomous County in Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang. Upon hearing the news, Master immediately instructed fellow initiates in China to render relief. On January 30, our relief team reached the affected area to assess the situation. As the government had already launched extensive relief services, we therefore provided aid only to destitute people who were more seriously affected. We bought the much-needed coal, flour and sleeping bags for 13 households, to whom we also presented some relief funds. We distributed the SOS flyers to the villagers and left some more for them to disseminate the message in the region. The villagers were extremely touched to find strangers extending concern and help when they most needed it. Creating a Paradise on Earth with Love By a fellow initiate in Shanghai (Originally in Chinese) On January 23, Golden Year 6 (2009), our Association members visited Madam Shen Cuiying, a recipient of the Shining World Compassion Award (for details, please refer to our report in News No. 201), and presented her with a contribution of US$20,000 from Master to buy stationery and other much-needed learning supplies for the students in the earthquake-stricken area. She also received Master’s new book Celestial Art and other spiritual publications. Madam Shen was deeply touched by Supreme Master Ching Hai’s compassion, generosity and selfless spirit of sacrifice. She promised to visit the children in Sichuan as soon as possible during the Lunar New Year holidays and bring the funds to the schools there. She would tell the children how very much Master loves and cares about them, while many anonymous philanthropists are also concerned about their compatriots in the disaster area. She hoped that this would encourage everyone to be more optimistic and cheerful, and have greater confidence in rebuilding their homes.
