With deep gratitude for your compassionate protection and care, it is because of your kind donations that the International Bodhisattva Sangha (IBS) in Nepal has been able to conduct emergency relief in various disaster-stricken areas. As of now, we have completed the seventh relief operation.
深深感恩您的慈悲護念，因為您的愛心捐助，尼泊爾菩薩寺才得以在各處的災區進行緊急救助，截至目前為止已經達成第七場的賑濟。
Today, Master Hueiguang personally led the faculty and students of the IBS Sramanera School of Nepal, guided by Dr. Dil, to the heavily affected Bethanchowk area, using the campus of Ganesh Basic School as a temporary site for flood relief and assistance.
今天慧光師父親自帶領尼泊爾菩薩沙彌學院師生，由Dil醫師引導前往重災區Bethanchowk借用Ganesh Basic School 校園進行洪災慰問救濟。
The disaster in this area is severe, with access roads almost entirely destroyed. Along the way, vehicles buried in sand could be seen. In this village, 400 households either had their homes collapse or were swept away by the floods, resulting in numerous casualties. Since all houses and belongings have been washed away, everyone we met wore expressions of deep sorrow.
這一區的災情慘重，聯外道路已被破壞殆盡，沿途可見被沙土掩没的車輛。這個村落共有400戶的房屋倒塌或被洪流沖走，其中也有不少的傷亡，由於所有房屋財物都已被水沖走，所見到的每個人無不愁容滿面。
Before the relief distribution, Master Hueiguang led the novices in chanting sutras to bless the villagers, comforting their still terrified and wounded hearts. He also gave a Dharma talk, reminding them that since this is the homeland of Shakyamuni Buddha, it receives love from all over the world.
在佈施活動前，慧光師父先帶領沙彌為村民誦經祈福，安慰著他們仍在驚恐受傷的心。並且為村民開示，因為這裡是釋迦牟尼佛的故鄉，所以得到來自世界各地的愛。
Venerable Master Hueiguang told the villagers, “The purpose of our life is to seek happiness, but true happiness does not come from external material things. The Buddha taught us that happiness comes from our hearts. Only when we have love in our hearts, when we are internally rich and fulfilled, and when we can share and form good connections with those around us, will happiness manifest.”
光師父跟村民說，我們活著的意義就是為了尋求快樂，但是真正快樂並非從外在物質獲得。佛陀開示我們說：快樂來自於我們的心，惟有心中有愛，內在豐富滿足，並能與周圍的人分享、結善緣，快樂就會體現出來。
In another location, Dr. Piya, a practitioner from the International Bodhisattva Sangha (IBS), was also near the banks of the Bagmati River, close to the Kathmandu airport, providing meals to 150 flood victims who had become homeless due to the disaster. One flood has caused so much suffering in the world.
在另外一處，菩薩寺行者Piya博士，也在Bagmati河畔靠近加德滿都機場附近，為150位因為水災成為無家可歸的災民提供餐點。一場洪水導致世間多少的不幸。
Once again, we offer our deepest gratitude for your noble support!
再次深深感恩來自於您尊貴的護持！
