I don't know, TCB.
Not to argue with your sentiment, as I agree with it, but as I was watching the news last evening, I noted tha many of the makeshift hospitals set up were Buddhist temples.
Which got me thinking. If religious/philosophical beliefs have any value, aren't they for, especially, events like this?
Do the monks view it in any particular way while they do the all-important work of helping? I'm certain of it. And I'm certain it has something to do with valuing the person they have right in front of them, whether dead or alive.

Nor let unreason'd tempers rise
Your little hands were never meant
To pluck out one anothers eyes"
