Blue Sky and White Clouds

"Blue Sky and White Clouds" refers
to the blue shirts and white pants that were originally worn by
volunteers of the USA Chapter. Afterwards, all Tzu Chi people
wore this uniform during activities in order to achieve uniformity.
Thus, this uniform became symbolic of Tzu Chi events, prompting
some to call the blue-and-white clad Tzu Chi members "Blue
Angels" and Master Cheng Yen the "Leader of the Blue
Shirts."
The "Blue Sky and White Clouds" ensemble
also holds another meaning: that Tzu Chi people should keep their
minds as wide and open as the blue sky and their actions as pure
and clean as the white clouds.
