上人率弘法團赴臺灣舉行「護國息災大悲法會」期間,為臺灣的眾生,他連續絕食三十多天。法會期間,因三藩市發生強烈地震,上人立即返美救災。然後又飛回臺灣,主持在臺灣北部、中部、南部地區的弘法演講大會。(這次地震應驗了上人以前所說的話:我在三藩市一天,就一天不准三藩市地震。)

The Master led a delegation to Taiwan. The Master was fasting at this time to transfer merit to the living beings of Taiwan during the delegation’s Great Compassion Dharma Assembly for Protecting the Nation and Eradicating Disasters. He fasted for over thirty days during which he made four trips across the Pacific by air (he returned to San Francisco after the earthquake and then flew back to Taiwan) and headed Dharma Assemblies in north, central, and south Taiwan. (The earthquake proved the Master’s words, "For every day that I am in San Francisco, I will not allow an earthquake to occur in San Francisco.")
