Taiwan-based Buddhist group spreads message of compassion to world
A Taiwan-based Buddhist charity attempts to take the founding nun's message of compassion global. When a 7.4-magnitude earthquake ripped through Taiwan in April, it took about 30 minutes for the region’s most ubiquitous charity to set up an emergency response center. Tzu Chi, an international Buddhist organization led by an 87-year-old nun, the Venerable Cheng Yen, and her followers, sprang into action. They prepared hot meals and assembled necessities for survivors and rescue teams, from drinking water and energy drinks to blankets, beds and tents. The nuns reside in the Jing Si Abode in Hualien, the quake’s epicenter on the island's east coast. It is also the spiritual home of the global organization, which is supported by millions of members across 67 countries, including the United States.
