Chinghai Yushu Earthquake Relief Funds

This morning 14th April 2010, we heard from the news that an earthquake struck Qinghai in China. Lodro Nyima Rinpoche and his Lamas were in Thrangu Centre Petaling Jaya.

What unfolded later was a tragedy of unprecedented proportion as Rinpoche received calls from his monks and Lamas who escaped the tragedy.

Yushu the town where Thrangu Monastery is located and Lodro Nyima Rinpoche is the Chief Abbot was badly damaged from the earthquake. At the time of writing Rinpoche got news that so far 15 bodies of monk had been pulled out of the rubble. Rinpoche also have confirmed news that his Khenpo also died from this disaster. His Lama with us also has lost his elder brother in this earthquake.

Rinpoche mentioned that the Chinese Army are already there helping the Tibetan community and they have ordered the evacuation of Yushu town. The nearby dam was also badly damaged and there is a risk that if it breaks the whole town will be swept away.

Rinpoche has expressed concern that the nomads and the residents of Yushu have gone to higher grounds and without proper clothing and Shelter they may not survive the freezing night temperature.

In the light of this extraordinary tragedy Thrangu Dharma Society Petaling Jaya with the advice and blessing of Lama Lodro Thaye the Resident monks, we are starting a donation drive called the “Qinghai Yushu Earthquake Relief Funds.”

The object of the funds collected will go towards alleviating the sufferings in Yushu in particular, and the Venerable Lodro Nyima Rinpoche will manage the utilization of the funds monies.

As a coordinating Centre, Thrangu Dharma Society Petaling Jaya will prepare a special page on our Thrangu Web site where all donations from the Public will be displayed. Receipts will be issued for all donations.

青海玉树抗震赈灾

4日15日2010年清晨一个7.1级地震袭击青海玉树,当时洛卓尼玛仁波切和他的喇嘛随从正好在马来西亚八达灵创古佛教中心。随后,劫后余生的僧侣转来厄号显示玉树召受灾难性的破坏。位于玉树,即洛卓宁玛仁波切身为住持的创古祖寺也不能幸免于难。执笔时,仁波切证实己有至少有15位僧人罹难。包括一名资深的堪布。仁波切的一位随从也痛失他的大哥。

仁波切得知中国军方己展开救援和疏散藏民的工作,因为附近的水坝受到破坏有溃堤造成水灾之虑。

仁波切表示担忧被遣涉高地的玉树居民和游牧藏民没有足够的帐篷和御寒衣物等来度过严寒的夜晚。

有鉴于救灾如救火刻不容缓,在八打灵创古佛教中心住持喇嘛洛卓的建议和加持下,我们启动了《青海玉树抗震赈灾》募捐活动。

有关募款将悉数交由洛卓尼玛仁波切用来协助灾民和重建工作。作为募款中心,八达灵创古佛教中心将藉由本中心网站来记录一切善长仁翁的善款,并给予收据以示透明化。
