News 43, Relief Efforts

Sending Love and Peace to Chechnya and Bosnia

Because of the wars in Chechnya and Bosnia, hundreds of thousands of people live in fear. In their hastened and confused steps to flee the war, with family members separated from each other, and their lives in danger, they wonder where they might be the next day, when they wake up from their dreams.

Being plugged into such utter misery, the lives of countless people are suffering immense pain. When their appeal for help reached Master, compassionately She immediately asked fellow initiates to quickly enquire about the channels for giving help.

Upon learning that the International Red Cross and the Medecins Sans Frontiers (M.S.F.) employ the most direct means in their relief activities, both of them sending their own personnel to the war zones and directly giving daily necessities and medical supplies to the people, Master gave instructions to give US$30,000 to the M.S.F., US$40,000 to the International Red Cross, to help the victims in both wars, and US$20,000 to the United Nations, as a relief fund. At the same time, She also prayed that the relief efforts would go smoothly, for the safety of the working staff and for an early end to the wars.

Master has often mentioned to us that Earth was originally a charming planet in the big Universal family. However, some people with evil intentions, who longed for power and personal gain, started a war in the galaxy and attacked other planets, creating tragic consequences. Some planets were left without water and air, while Earth had the retribution to face the fate of being separated. Only when the entire human race awakens, thoroughly understands the importance of peace and love, and strives to uplift the standard of morality on Earth, there may be hope for the Earth to become a member of the galaxy alliance again. The Quan Yin practitioners understand even deeper that the roots for the strength to save our planet depend on spiritual practice, through which the loving atmosphere that the Earth misses, can be replenished. Only then our planet Earth may be saved from its ill fate.
