  Dear Great Assembly! Our beloved Central Vietnam has just experienced heavy storms and floods. Natural disasters have seriously affected the lives of people there, causing great damage to life and property. Many families have fallen into economic and physical exhaustion. Many of them are in desperate need of help. Monks, Nuns and Buddhists of Ba Vang Pagoda with the loving-kindness of the Buddhas disciples have come to the areas most affected by floods to support them. The Sangha of Ba Vang Pagoda has given people in Quang Binh 430 gifts of 200 million VND and donated 300 million VND to Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Central Committee. Chrysanthemum Club of Practising Six Reverent Concords and other Buddhist groups of Ba Vang Pagoda have donated more than 500 million VND to Thua Thien Hue. On the occasion of the Festival, on behalf of the Organizing Committee, Id like to express my sympathy for all the losses and griefs. I wish to send my deep condolences to the victims families as well as to the families of officials and soldiers of army forces - the rescuers who died from floods in the line of duty. We sincerely appeal to domestic and foreign agencies, institutions, organizations, businesses, individuals, philanthropists, Buddhists and citizens  to join hands with the Communist Party, the Government and the VFF to do more practically humanitarian and charitable activities, especially to support and assist people in Central Vietnam who are suffering great damage from floods.
