Appreciation Letters
After the bomb explosion incident in Oklahoma, U.S.A., Supreme Master Ching Hai immediately instructed the American fellow initiates to form a relief group, and to proceed to the scene rendering emergency aid. She also sent a message to fellow initiates throughout the world, asking them to pray for the victims together. As directed by Master, our Headquarters and Centers had in total remitted over US$100,000 to the relief fund, for which State Governor of Oklahoma, Mr. Frank Keating, had sent a letter of appreciation.

Au Lac Fishermen Thank Master For Mercifully Saving Them From Mishap

(Originally in Au Lac Language)

Dear venerated Supreme Master Ching Hai,

My name is Chen Yu Min, owner of fishing boat BD-380185. On behalf of my ten brothers, I sincerely thank Supreme Master Ching Hai for mercifully saving us while we were in distress.

Being fishermen working at sea, more often we run into mishaps than fortune. Once, we encountered a storm and lost our bearing. Consequently, we drifted into the Palawan, Philippines territory, were arrested, and put into jail.

Unexpectedly, God delivered us into Your loving hands, and let us receive Your kind materials and spiritual support, which kept us warm, fed, and happy when we were being detained.

Now, due to the humane and forgiving judgement of the Philippine Government and the Palawan Legal Authority, we have been freed, and will be able to go home to see our families soon.

Please accept our most sincere gratitude again. We will forever, life after life, remember the grace that Supreme Master Ching Hai bestowed on us.

Wishing You good health, and success in everything! On behalf of my ten brothers,

Chen Yu Min, Sept. 12, 1995, Palawan.
