  • dazed

    This city has the nicest people. To die so suddenly and in fear or confusion in such a peaceful and friendly town is a fate I cannot comprehend. I know those more fortunate in the city like me will contribute to conserve the lives that remain; your deaths were not in vain.

  • kia kaha, kia toa, kia manawanui

    To all in Christchurch, my thoughts are with you.
    It is just so painful to hear and see such devastation
    from so far away - I feel so helpless.

    May you all share in my dharma. May you all come to let go of that which you have lived through. May God be with you.

  • Prayer page: show support, hang on to hope

    Our hearts are with all those grieving in all those effected... and our prayers go out to those still waiting for news, still waiting to be rescued, or just waiting for a sign that God is listening.

    I'm so encouraged by everyone willingly joining this event to show support, and show they are praying for Christchurch at this awful time.
