---Report from Formosa

Headline from Formosa’s United Daily News, September 8, 2002: All 26 members of the Supreme Master Ching Hai Chinese Amphibious Rescue Association take leave of their jobs to be on standby at Hsichih. Their valiant efforts during Typhoon Nari in September 2001 still remain in our memories to this day.

[Keelung] Due to its geographic location, Formosa is often hit by typhoons toward the end of summer and beginning of fall. This year, weather forecasters predicted that medium-strength Typhoon Sinlaku would bring torrential downpours to Formosa during high tide in early September, and its serious threat forced northern Formosa into high alert on September 6th.

Fellow practitioners belonging to the Supreme Master Ching Hai Chinese Amphibious Rescue Association assembled that afternoon in coordinate their rescue preparations with those of the Taipei County Fire Department. Bearing Master’s love, they arrived at the number one command station in the easily flooded areas of Hsichih to await further instructions. But thanks to God’s mercy, Typhoon Sinlaku, a source of enormous alarm to local residents, edged northwards away from Formosa, bringing only large quantities of rainfall and less than expected levels of damage in its wake. Thus, on the afternoon of September 7th, the rescue team was relieved of its duties when its mission was declared completej

Members of the Supreme Master Ching Hai Chinese Amphibious Rescue Association sit in meditation while on standby to carry out rescue missions should the need arise.
