Heartbreaking sight of death n suffering

Viewing live streams of widespread destruction in Myanmars central region is disquieting to say the least.Collapsed.buildings n piles of rubles,street crack and bridges damaged.i can imagine the immense pain and suffering of those who were injured and escaped with only the clothes on their backs. The video brought tears to my eyes as i remembered my past trip to Myanmar,the gentleness of their people,their kindness to give me cannonball flowers to offer to the temple without taking a cent of my donation,their generosity to pay it forward by giving free food to all Vipassana retreat learners and my wonderful tour guide who purposely detoured when i expressed a wish to donate to orphanage in Yangon. It was heartbreaking to see the devastation and people without shelter or skills to rescue trapped victims But my tears cannot help save lives or rebuild their homes.After surfing the net,i found out that Tzu Chi already has a Myanmar fund to aid farmers rebuild their farms after the cyclone so i donated a small amount to the Young Buddhist Association of Malaysia who are collecting funds for one month to send aid to help the victims of the earthquake.My budget to buy Han Kangs novel The Vegetarian and paper money and paper gold ingots to burn for the dead at Ching Ming festival will be better used for helping those suffering a living hell in Myanmar.Rather than aiding those in the afterlife,my donation is better used to aid those in the present life to survive. im gonna go to temple to offer the merit ive accumulated to honour the departed loved ones.As in the Ullambana Buddhist practice,a transfer of merits will help the departed souls leave the horrors of hell and get a rebirth to heavenly realm where they will be free from pain and suffering. I pray that Young Buddhist Association of Malaysia delivers aid that actually reach the victims and not funds diverted by corrupt people to buy more weapons to kill these victims,surely a double tragedy and the aid be fairly distributed to all regardless of Muslims,Buddhists or Christians as Tzu Chi was compassionate in helping Aceh rebuild homes and schools after the disaster of the big tsunami Helping to save lives earns more merit than building huge Buddha statues or seven storey pagodas. Time is critical to save the victims trapped under the rubble.so my imagination ran wild again.If the airport is damaged,and it takes the teams 14 to 18 hours to travel by land blocked by landslides,would using microlight aircrafts to carry 2 people at a time be feasible as it can land in very little space.helicopters could be used to carry heavy equipment or a few drones lifting equipment in meshed netting transport medical supplies.Alternatively medical machines like MRI or X ray machines.be designed with flight ability to launch itself into the air and travel to the sites of disasters.If the victims are trapped under rubble,then mini rescue robots to deliver water n liquid food be used to reach them.these robots can change shapes and become flexible tubes that can deliver liquid nutrition or oxygen to small spaces.their bodies have luminiscence paint to glow in the dark and carry transmitters for cellphone communication.Maybe these diffetent mini robots can join together like transformers once inside and can be operated remotely like a robotic arm to stitch wounds and treat the victims. sounds like science fiction huh but crazy.that we can send machines to space so its possible to design machines.to save lives.
