THE Mongphone Sayadaw and a group of charitable donors will be carrying out donations in areas affected by the recent power­ful earthquake, including Shan State, Nay Pyi Taw Council Area, Mandalay Region, and Sagaing Region.

 

To carry out these charita­ble acts, a motorcade consist­ing of 38 vehicles and 94 donors accompanying the Sayadaw departed from Mongphone on 19 April. This information was confirmed by one of the partici­pating donors, U Aik La.

 

He said, “As part of the Sayadaw’s donation journey, over 2,000 pre-packed relief pack­ages containing rice, cooking oil, instant noodles, and medicines will be donated to earthquake victims in Taunggyi, Mandalay, Nay Pyi Taw, and Sagaing. The Sayadaw and his disciples also plan to disperse loving-kindness in each of these towns”

 

During the journey, the donation convoy will stop over­night in Mongpan, Taunggyi, and Mandalay. After donations are made in Mandalay, the group will continue to PyinOoLwin for an overnight stop.

 

From PyinOoLwin, the con­voy will return to Mandalay be­fore proceeding to Nay Pyi Taw, where donations will be made and an overnight stay is planned. The vehicles will then head to Yangon, where they will remain for around three days. During the Yangon visit, the Sayadaw will conduct loving-kindness ses­sions before returning to Taung­gyi. — ASH/KNN
