Rice Of Love Aids North Korea
When Supreme Master Ching Hai was informed that the food shortage in North Korea is growing worse, and people having no rice to eat. She felt really bad. She immediately urged disciples from all over the world to show their love and lend some help. She instructed the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association's executive staff to inquire about related international organizations to send rice to meet the urgent needs. Mr. Robert Hauser, the person in charge of the World Food Programmed (WFP) in Pyongyang, was aware of Supreme Master Ching Hai's past assistance to the flood disaster in Korea last year. Once again, Master's quick action in showing Her loving concern, this time about the food shortage has touched Mr. Hauser. Besides helping to arrange for the shipment of rice, he and the Flood Damage Rehabilitation Committee have also invited members of the Association to join in the distribution of the "rice of love" and give the hungry and desperate brethren in North Korea some spiritual comfort. Supreme
Master Ching Hai and fellow practitioners of Supreme Master Ching
Hai International Association contributed two thousand tons of rice.
Furthermore, She compassionately added five thousand cans of powdered
milk to this contribution for those children in need, estimated over
US$500,000. All of these contributions are on the way to North Korea.
The shipment is expected to arrive in North Korea in early July. The
North Korea Embassy in Cambodia has also been very active in the relief
effort. Members of the Embassy are highly impressed by Master's loving
concern and have expressed that they would like to thank Her personally.
