[Hong
Kong] As happened last year, this season, many provinces
in mainland China were inundated by floods caused by heavy downpours
and the rising Yangtze River. Millions of people were affected, as thousands
of acres of farmland were submerged, and countless houses collapsed.
Realizing that the suffering victims desperately needed help, Hong Kong
initiates organized a two-day overnight meditation session on August
13 and 14 to pray for the victims. They also held a charity dinner and
bazaar to raise relief funds. The events drew an enthusiastic response,
as fellow practitioners prepared food and offered items for sale. Their
loving contributions totaled HK$40,000 (approx. US$5,128), which were
given to the relief organization World Vision to purchase food for the
flood victims in China.
