Report From Hong Kong

Hong Kong initiates packing tents to be sent to Turkey.
Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Ltd. acknowledges receipt of tents for Turkish earthquake victims from the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association in Hong Kong.

[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.
