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.
