WTV second visit to understand relief mission

The BLIA NZ Earthquake Relief Centre that gave care and comfort since the establishment on the 24th of February gained a lot of attention from the news media. On the 4th of March, New Zealand WTV Chinese media network came on for the second time to understand more about the current relief centre status like: providing hot food, light offering, chanting services and donations by the organisation.

In the interview, Venerable Abbess Manshin appreciated those who supported the BLIA NZ Earthquake Relief Centre in giving encouragement, providing meals and smoothing up the operations of this relief center. In 8 continous days, the BLIA NZ Relief Centre has provided more than 2,500 hot meals, water and medical aid for the needy. Many were also informed that the Emperor Liang Repentance Dharma Service will be held at the end of this month to transfer merits, to relief those who have passed on as a result of the recent Christchurch earthquake and to provide spiritual support to all those who experienced it.

Venerable Abbess Manshin also explained the Buddhism view on life and death; the charateristics in between life transition; the benefit and importance of transferring merits for the deceased, helping them to relief from shock from the earthquake disaster and guiding them to reborn in virtuous realms. The WTV reporting group appreciated help from the BLIA NZ Earthquake Relief Centre in providing the updates and live status of the centre.
