Culture

Each of the four Tzu Chi missions develops it own culture. In 1986, Tzu Chi set up the Tzu Chi Culture Service Center on Chang An East Road in Taipei. The center published the Tzu Chi Monthly magazine and the semi-monthly newspaper Tzu Chi Companion, as well as a new book every month. Currently, the Tzu Chi Cultural Publishing Center publishes the speeches and teachings of Master Cheng Yen in the forms of books, video- and audiotapes, in addition to continuing the publications mentioned above. The Tzu Chi culture is one of great happiness, which gives people great joy.

On December 1, 1995, Tzu Chi started to broadcast "The Tzu Chi World" on cable TV. The program is aimed at promoting the concept of respecting life and affirming humanity to every corner of the world. We also wish to let more people in Taiwan know more about Tzu Chi's activities and future plans. The program also invites people in all walks of life to join our organization to contribute their effort, time and money to promote the welfare of human beings.

Tzu Chi Still Thoughts Hall
The missions of the Tzu Chi Foundation have well adopted the spirit of Buddhism. In order to preserve the good deeds of Tzu Chi people for the next generation to remember, the Still Thoughts Hall was established. It also presents Buddha's spirit of "great kindness even to strangers and great compassion for all."
