Although Lama Zopa provided this advice in response to a specific disaster, it is still very relevant to the many natural disasters happening today. Specifically, Rinpoche provides guidance on prayers and pujas that one can do to help the victims.

For those of you who want to make a donation to help those affected by the devastating cyclone in Burma, but are unsure about which agencies are able to deliver aid, here are a few:

• Oxfam
• Mae Tao Clinic
• United Nations World Food Programme
• Help Avaaz raise funds for the International Burmese Monks Organization and related groups
