 <Nantou> 
        After investigating a report of a family 
        in need, fellow initiates in Nantou learned that a woman, who had just 
        lost her husband, together with her mother-in-law and two children, was 
        living in a very shabby abode that offered almost no shelter from the 
        wind and rain. Fellow practitioners quickly went to visit and comfort 
        them.

         The 
        woman had lost her father-in-law and her husband within a short period 
        of time and was having difficulty accepting their deaths. Unable to sustain 
        herself and her family independently, she was feeling depressed and destitute. 
        The timely relief from the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association 
        came like a beacon from a lighthouse pointing out a new direction for 
        her. The loving visit along with the measures of relief provided by our 
        fellow initiates enabled her to feel some warmth in this world while realizing 
        the ephemeral status of life.
