I first learned the word tsunami on the 26th December 2009. Yes! It was the Boxing Day. Supposedly a joyful and auspicious day, but as fate had it, 230,000 people from 11 countries perished on that day. Even more people lost their family members and friends just within that split second on that fateful day. Thousands if not millions of kid, overnight became orphan.
Ever since then, I had never pay much attention to tsunami as it mushroomed around the region. Maybe it is a case of being lack of compassion. Nevertheless I felt safe and sound in Malaysia then. But today I felt the tremor myself. Even though it was just a mild shake that I felt, compare to what the victims must had felt, it had already sent a part of me to Padang, Indonesia. For that spilt second, vision of damage houses, cries of the fearful filled up my senses as the tragic unfold. My heart went out to the victims.
As I skimmed through the internet news, there was no report on the number of casualties yet. Let's pray together while death is out for hunting, let him be merciful and spare the good souls.
Om Namo Bhagavate Bhaisajayaguru Vaiduraya Phrabarajaya Tatagathaya Ahate Samyaksambuddhaya Tadyatha Om Bhaisajye Bhaisajye Maha Bhaisajye Bhaisajye Sammugate Soha
A simple Buddha Medicine prayers to keep the hope alive.
