Using Positive Energy to Overcome
the Negative Force

Master is very concerned about the disasters that have occurred recently in various parts of the world, such as the drought in the West and the floods in the East. Recently in America, hundreds have died during a severe heat wave, and the floods in Asia have also caused many deaths, with countless people being made homeless. The flooding in China alone displaced five and a half million people. Energy generated deep in the Earth's crust is also leading to earthquakes in many regions. For example, the western and central parts of Turkey were hit recently by the most severe earthquake in the country's history, resulting in tens of thousands being killed or injured, and more than two hundred thousand people being left homeless.

In order to relieve the suffering of the Chinese flood victims, a total of US$120,000 (see attached receipts A, B and C from banks) was sent to the Red Cross in Switzerland. And upon learning that the Turkish earthquake victims needed tents and blankets most urgently, Formosan, Hong Kong and Singapore initiates immediately contributed more than 6,000 items, including tents and sleeping bags, as well as medical supplies to Turkey.

Besides making monetary and material contributions to help the most affected areas, Master also immediately instructed disciples worldwide to meditate more and pray to God, in the hope that the benevolent ambience derived from their meditation will create more positive energy in the world to help alleviate the suffering of humankind.
