Love In Action

Master is always deeply concerned when disasters occur in any part of the world. Upon hearing news of such events, She immediately provides financial assistance and sends relief teams. Through such efforts, Her unconditional love and support are conveyed to those affected, thus reducing their suffering while helping them to rebuild their lives.

In recognition of the selfless actions of governments, organizations and relief workers around the globe, Master expresses Her gratitude as follows: "Thank you, all the international help that brings care and necessities to afflicted victims. Thank you all the relief workers for taking time and forsaking your own comfort, even traveling great distance on unfavorable roads and conditions to bring love and assistance to people in a time of need. May Heaven bless you abundantly for your generosity and noble sacrifice."

    Giving Spiritual Support to Those Distressed by Mount Ontake Eruption in Japan

    By Tokyo, Japan Relief Team (Originally in Japanese)

    On September 27, 2014, the sudden eruption of Mount Ontake, a volcano located about 200 kilometers west of Tokyo, Japan, claimed 57 lives, injured 69 individuals, and left six people missing on the volcano. As soon as receiving Master’s loving instruction to help the suffering, our Association members from Tokyo Center contacted the local Emergency Headquarters and learned that the relatives of the missing were staying in the Kiso Town Central Public Hall.

    Although no material aid was required, mental and spiritual support was needed in such a difficult time. Therefore, with JPY 36,889 (US$341) contributed by our Association members, we purchased a variety of gifts including vegan snacks, candy, dried fruits and juices. We also prepared copies of The Key of Immediate Enlightenment Sample Booklet, Be Vegan, Make Peace DVDs and other publications. Four members of our relief team drove approximately 230 kilometers and delivered all items to the Emergency Headquarters of Kiso Town Office and the Otaki Village Office on October 5.

    Our sincere prayers for all those injured and for those who lost loved ones or have friends or family missing. May Heaven continue to bless you and fill your hearts with comfort.
