Recently, the district of Barmer in India experienced an extremely cold winter. The temperature dropped to zero and people would shiver even in the day time. They were in urgent need of woolen clothes and blankets.
With the financial support from Master, fellow initiates from The
Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association distributed 500 blankets
worth about 175,000 Indian rupees (US$3,833) to the most desperate people,
such as widows, the disabled and the poor. The initiates divided themselves
into five groups of 3-4 members and spent five days to complete the mission.
Upon receiving the loving gifts the recipients were very grateful. Some
commented that they might have died without the blankets. The initiates
were glad to bring God's love to those most in need.
