Loving Kindness Overflows for Flood Victims
By Italy News Group (Originally
in Italian)
 In mid-December 2008, unusual and adverse weather conditions in Italy caused numerous floods, leaving hundreds of people living along the banks of Tiber River homeless. Venice, Lazio and Rome were the hardest hit regions. To help with the relief work, Supreme Master Ching Hai lovingly provided financial aid and a relief team of local initiates was formed with the assistance of three brothers from Taiwan and Brazil. Our rescue team distributed 198 bags of infant/toddler
formula and 30 electric heaters to the flood-stricken victims, which
cost EUR 5,152.20 in total. They also distributed SOS flyers and
sample booklets and introduced people to the quickest, easiest method
to save the planet---vegan diet, which many agreed to try. The aid
recipients were touched by Master’s care and generosity. Besides,
the staff members from Cooperativa Sociale San Saturnino, a non-profit
organization dedicated to assist the disadvantaged minority, said
that this was the first time relief aid had come from outside of
Rome, particularly from an international association such as Supreme
Master Ching Hai’s.
