S1-E14 - Buddhism "In Action" – Taiwan's Remarkable Tzu Chi Charity Group

Season 1 Episode 14 Published 4 years, 3 months ago
Description

Tzu Chi is unique in relying on mostly laypersons instead of clergy, focusing on real-world problems instead of only the spiritual, and having an extremely open-minded attitude towards other faiths – this Buddhist group built Catholic and Protestant churches for native Taiwanese people who lost their villages in Typhoon Morakot! The story begins with a remarkable woman – then called Jun Yun – who would become Master Cheng Yen, the founder of the largest charity group in Taiwan.
