Searching for One's Roots

(Translated by Douglas Shaw)

When Tzu Chi members or employees go to the Abode of Still Thoughts in Hualien to see the latest developments in the Tzu Chi missions, learn about Master Cheng Yen's philosophy and experience the Tzu Chi spirit through various activities, this is called "searching for one's roots."

The Abode of Still Thoughts is where the Tzu Chi Foundation was established, and it is the source of the Tzu Chi teachings. When members return to their spiritual home, they learn about the history of Tzu Chi and the spirit of Master Cheng Yen. In this spiritual field of blessings, they can also sow their own seeds of goodness and enlightenment in the hope that they will root and sprout, revealing their goodness in their hearts and putting that goodness into action.
