The number of households Tzu Chi helped, went from single digit, to now, with 70 families.

To date, more than 35,000 Syrian refugees have received this gift of love from Taiwan. At the relief distribution, the humble attitude of the Jordan Tzu Chi volunteers moved the heart of many local volunteers.

《 衲履足跡 》談銘記災難 On Learning from Disasters

With the frequent occurrence of natural disasters, purifying human minds becomes a top priority in creating a peaceful and safe environment for ourselves and the future generations.

Only when human beings live a simple, healthy and frugal life, can all be alleviated from suffering.

放眼天下，天地間不斷發生災難，我們應該為自己、為天下、為下一代的平安而調和人心；唯有人類回歸樸素、健康、純真的生活，才能緩和天地災難。
