In September 2009， an earthquake measuring 8.0 on the Richter scale created a 6m tsunami， that struck the Samoan islands， in the South Pacific. Coastal villages were flattened and over 100 people were killed. More than two years later， although many families have moved away， others are still living in damaged houses or tents. Tzu Chi volunteers from the United States traveled to American Samoa to hand out aid to the victims.

Those who know principles are not necessarily sensible; those who are sensible always understand principles.

懂理的人，不一定懂事；懂事的人，一定懂理。

《 衲履足跡 》On The Dharma 談法水

A drought can cause a massive forest fire which will eventually be extinguished. But， when anger in our heart is kindled， it is hard to extinguish. We need to use the dharma to put out our anger and let our heart be in peace.

乾旱引起的森林大火，雖然火勢猛烈，終將有滅除之時。但是人心的瞋恚(憤怒)躁動火一旦燃起，即難以收拾，須以法水持續潤澤心地，才能使心火熄滅，讓心地平和。 (※瞋恚是憤怒的意思。)
