[Boston,
Massachusetts] While we were in shock
after hearing the TV news regarding the World Trade Center attack on
the morning of Sept. 11, Master called the Boston Center and asked initiates
to go to New York to help the victims of the disaster. Some Boston disciples
gathered with New Jersey fellow practitioners, and immediately went
to the New York Center to begin working with New York initiates. Without
Master's guidance, we would have remained in shock and in a state of
mourning.

Local initiates in
Pennsylvania held a group prayer and meditation session on the night
of Tuesday, September 11, immediately after the attacks on New York
City and Arlington, Virginia.
We
also walked to the local Salvation Army and American Red Cross in Philadelphia,
because New York City had closed its tunnels, preventing entry into
the city by car. Both organizations assured us that they were facilitating
relief operations to address the New York disaster problems and that
our working with them would serve the New York relief efforts.
We contributed
US$5,000 to the Salvation Army, so that they would make their own purchases
with our cash contribution (money order). Ms. P. Desantis of the Salvation
Army said she would be happy to contact members of our organization
to serve as volunteers during the ordeal.
[Ohio]
Over the weekend of September 15th, fellow practitioners
from Michigan, Missouri, Kentucky, and Indiana gathered at the Ohio
Center for a two-day retreat to meditate and pray for the victims in
the USA and their families.

Ohio
fellow practitioners hold lit candles and pray that their meditation
merit will go to the victims of the recent US tragedies and their
families.

In
addition, daily group meditation will continue to be available at the
Ohio Center so that local practitioners can meditate more after working
hours during this time of crisis. Let us all keep praying that God's
love and wisdom will illuminate anyone touched by this tragedy, so that
it may have the most positive outcome for all.
[Kentucky]
On Master's instructions, and disregarding their
fatigue, Kentucky fellow practitioners drove through the night to the
Virginia Center on September 11, 2001, to have the opportunity to learn
the lesson of love.
The
12-hour trip from Kentucky to the Virginia Center seemed longer than
usual, since each of us was anxious to be there at the scene of the
action. The way to the city is somewhat complicated, especially for
those unfamiliar with the area. In addition, we had a sleepless night
and a long car journey, so we became lost. However, our initiate driver
used his intuition and soon arrived at the right address! Of course,
we roared with joy, knowing once again that Master is with us at all
times.
