[Hong
Kong] When Turkey was hit recently by an unexpectedly severe
earthquake that caused heavy casualties, the Hong Kong Center immediately
convened a seven-day "around-the-clock meditation session"
so that fellow initiates could meditate and pray for God's blessings
on the world. During the session, Hong Kong was struck by a series of
disasters, including sudden bad weather, typhoons, floods, and an airplane
crash. Fellow practitioners, some of whom had to remain at the Center
because of the bad weather, could feel the deep anguish of their brothers
and sisters who had suffered mishaps thousands of miles away. Thus,
they meditated more diligently, hoping that it would help alleviate
the suffering of humankind.
Upon
receiving Master's instructions to dispatch tents to the disaster stricken
areas in Turkey, the responsible person at the Center immediately thought
of finding a wholesale dealer of camping equipment. By God's incredible
arrangement, as soon as he had hung up the phone, he noticed that a
sister who operated a sporting goods outlet had just arrived at the
center to meditate and pray for God's grace. The sister promptly contacted
her suppliers and purchased fifty tents big enough for eight to ten
persons. To support the relief operation, fellow practitioners also
offered another fifty of their own tents and packed them throughout
the night. The relief materials were then delivered to the airport and
later airlifted to the affected areas to help solve some of the shelter
problems of the victims.
