Sichuan earthquake relief effort
Hey everyone,
Just a brief update on the earthquake in China. We have learned that the Master of our Qigong lineage is safe as are the families of our doctors - we are most grateful for this. However, as you have seen in the news, thousands have lost their lives and many, many more are injured, in need of food and shelter and are doubtless extremely emotionally distraught.
Further, two Daoist monasteries that NCNM has affiliation with - 1000-2000 year old Mt. Qingcheng and Yuntai Guan have been, sadly, destroyed. These are places of unimaginable beauty and spiritual cultivation and their loss is a great blow. Our visiting professor, Dr. Liu Lihong, has agreed to take any and all donations directly to the abbots of those monasteries. If you feel inspired to donate to this cause, please use the donation button below and I personally guarantee that I will get the money where it needs to go. Otherwise, you can use the Mercy Corps link that I provided in my previous post.
Any amount of money would be very helpful in helping to restore people and places to some state of normalcy. Your compassion is appreciated greatly.
Eric

Which temples have you received information about? I was recently studying at QingChengShan and status reports are obviously difficult to obtain. Our group spent most of its time at Jianfu Palace. I’ve referred everyone from the group to your site in our quest to know how our extended family has fared. Thanks in advance for any news you can expand upon.
Between this and Myanamar, that area of the world is experiencing so much pain right now. It’s truly heartbreaking.
I’m not sure what most can do (other than possibly donating a little money…which I’m not sure is getting past the junta in Myanmar anyway), but we can certainly all pray.
My thoughts are with you during this time of great loss due to the quake.
[...] Sichuan earthquake relief effort- on the same topic, Eric Grey over at Deepest Health uploaded a post about a way we can donate money for the victims. Note it. [...]
it is a good effort. Yesterday i came to know a fact, Schools are damaged more than anything in China’s worst earthquake till now. I am wondering if China was not concentrating on future of China(that are kids)?
