Sharing is Great
The Boxing Day Tsunami catastrophe has been the worst natural disaster in the last century. It has left a death toll of almost 300,000. Thailand is one of the countries to have suffered serious damage at its hands. Those losing their lives and suffering damage as a result of this tidal wave, in Thailand alone, total tens of thousands – one of the worst natural calamities since the beginning of our country’s history.
This book records for posterity the images and background of these two memorial events – together with the media coverage of the event put out around the world. The book comes complete with coverage of the presentation of honorary plaques and certificates by the organizing committee, in recognition of Luang Por Dhammajayo, the president of the Dhammakaya Foundation, who inspired both events – seeing them through to success.The tragic events in the wake of the tsunami only go to show that ‘nothing is greater than sharing with one’s fellow man’. Indeed, the will to share by benefactors in Thailand and throughout the world have created a tide of change that has restored morale to the victims, who are back on their feet again, in spite of devastation unprecedented in living memory.
