Tzu Chi Merit Association, founded in 1966, is the starting point of Tzu Chi’s charity work. With the vision and mission of “for Buddha’s teachings, for sentient beings,” Dharma Master Cheng Yen resolutely led Tzu Chi volunteers to serve society. They give with loving-kindness without regrets, compassion without resentment, joy without worries, and equanimity without expectations. The development of Tzu Chi over the last fifty years embodies a model of charity work in Buddhism. Master Cheng Yen encourages her disciples to persist diligently to walk the Bodhisattva-path, take the Buddha’s heart as their own with gratitude for everything, take their teacher’s mission as their own, and help all sentient beings. Saving the world begins with saving people’s hearts. When we light the lamp in our own hearts, we can gather the power of great love from many people and bring infinite light to the world, leading to many fifty years to come.
