《 靜思語 》

One must be sensible and reasonable in daily life in order to realize the truth.

能合情、合事、合理，才是真理。


3.菲浴佛彩排

Tzu Chi in the Philippines is holding its first ever large-scale Buddha Day Ceremony in the country. Altogether 10,000 participants have gathered to take part.

However, it was only until Deng”s son joined Tzu Chi”s basketball team that she reconnected with the organization. Last year, Deng finally became a Tzu Chi commissioner, and this year, she is bringing her whole family to take part in the Buddha Day ceremony.

《 衲履足跡 》 On Preaching A Sermon 談傳道

In Today”s society, it is easy for children to adopt bad habits. It is the teacher”s mission to teach students moral and ethical values. When students look neat, it is because they have truly absorbed the dharma into their hearts.

現在的社會風氣，使孩子容易學壞。傳道、授業是老師的使命，所要傳的是人品道德觀念。孩子們外表整齊，是因老師所教的法已入其心，確實「傳」予「道」德觀念。

10.尖石支持教學

Jianshi tribal community in Taiwan”s Hsinchu has always lacked educational resources, making it hard for students to develop an interest in learning. Fortunately, a study program has been set up by Zhi-Shan Foundation, where professional teachers have been employed to help youngsters learn effectively and build up their confidence.
