All Human Beings Must Activate Their
Love
While injury and
death tolls continue to rise three days after the disaster
in New York, Master Cheng Yen has called on everyone to pray
for the victims and their families. She hopes that the love
and compassion of all people in the world will be activated
to help survivors to a quick recovery.
Amid the roar of toppling buildings, rescuers from all over
rushed inside to save lives without regard for their own safety.
In these three days, hundreds of these brave rescuers have
also perished. They are truly anonymous heroes who silently
gave of themselves. Master Cheng Yen remarked, "These
heroes that think only of saving lives and not of the danger
they put themselves in are truly admirable. There are over
300 of them whose fate is unknown even now."
As the numbers
of dead and injured continually rise, what we can do now is
give our most sincere prayers and blessings to the families
of the victims. We hope that the citizens of the world will
join together and express their love. With their love, they
can console injured souls and offer the most vital assistance.
Master Cheng Yen further said, "Wherever you live, each
of you can start to raise funds and send them directly to
the US Main Branch, so that they can focus on the work of
saving lives."
Master Cheng Yen
has also continually called on everyone to activate their
love and embrace the spirit of mutual assistance so that the
victims of this crisis can quickly recover and rebuild.
