Prayers for Disaster Victims
http://amonkamok.typepad.com/rinchen_gyatso_a_monk_amo/2008/...I've been watching some of the news coming out of China about the earthquake, as well as from Burma/Myanmar about the cyclone. It's mind-boggling--the extent of the devastation. The death toll has reached 78,000 in the cyclone tragedy. As for the earthquake, the death toll is now over 28,000 according to this article. There's also a danger from http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24676343 in some areas that could increase the loss of life. The thing that's really frustrating is that so much of the loss of life was avoidable in the case of the cyclone and the China earthquake. In the case of Burma/Myanmar, the paranoid government's unwillingness to accept foreign aid and rescue workers may already be costing lives. As for China, there was a report on the news last night (I can't remember which station, but it was national news) saying that over 6,000 schools had collapsed, many killing everyone inside, and that the Chinese government said it would investigate and hold responsible those who allowed such shoddy construction. Of course the same could be said for Hurricaine Katrina. More than 2,000 people are dead or missing and the city is still struggling to recover. The government knew the levees were inadequate and did nothing to rectify the problem. But honestly, isn't it foolish to build below sea level...on the coast? The tsunami from 2004 took 283,000 lives according to this entry on Wikipedia. I wonder what's in store for the future. Please pray for all those whose lives were lost, and also for those whose ignorance has added to these tragedies.
