Buddhist Maha Vihara Tsunami Relief

It is with great sadness and also urgency that I have directed the set-up of the ?Buddhist Maha Vihara Tsunami Relief? after the devastating effect of an earthquake and the resulting tsunami. We are mobilizing all our available resources to assist the victims of the natural disaster.

We are appealing to you to provide any form of aid, which we assure you will be used to alleviate the suffering of the victims of the tsunami.

We have contacted and are contacting the embassies of the countries affected by the tsunami. We are initiating the following immediately:

- A relief fund (all cheques to be written to ?Buddhist Maha Vihara?. Please indicate Tsunami Relief Fund at the back of the cheque)
- An old clothes collection center in Buddhist Maha Vihara
- A medical aid collection center in Buddhist Maha Vihara
- Toiletries
- A food collection center (dry and canned food only) in Buddhist Maha Vihara

The 1st container is expected to leave the Buddhist Maha Vihara on Friday, 31st December 2004.

We trust you will endeavour to assist the victims of this natural disaster, and May the Blessings of the Triple Gem be upon you and your family.

Yours in the Dhamma,

K Sri Dhammananda Nayaka Maha Thera
Chief Venerable of Malaysia and Singapore
