Qian Shou Fo Xin

Recently just finished reading a book of bibliography, QianShouFoXin by Ching Yun, Bezine. The book is a translated publication in chinese (in English, it is titled: The Master of Mercy and Love, Cheng Yan). The author is an american borned chinese, aimed at propeling the charity of Tzu-Chi and Buddhism.It's a great book of the real story of the ZhengYan Fashi( Dharma Master) and her commitment in organizing the Tzu-Chi Foundation. Only two decades, the Tzu-Chi has expanded into an international humanitarian non-governmental organization. This foundation practices 'doing goods' regardless of races and religions.

I am not a Buddhist yet inspired by the Buddhism practised. Tzu-Chi is a movement. Keep moving around the globe to give a hand for those needed. Instead of praying passively, they are more focus on action. "Our lives are just like climbing a mountain, over and over again. We could not escape the difficulties and sometimes the tragedy, yet we should help the comrades who are climbing the same mountain with us."

Do not ever underestimate what you have done now, every little task has its meaning and contribution. Do it wholeheartedly. Appreciate people and things happened around you.

More and more...the book made me contemplating.
Inspiring.
