Diary: Some Reflections About TzuChi
In TzuChi, I find it easy to collect a large amount of people in all good conscience.
The new friends I met here are easygoing and kind-hearted.
Many of them have ever suffered from serious disease or struggled for harsh situation and since then, they turned their life goal and had other feelings about life.
One of the pharmacists I met became my good friend.
She forced me to study harder, and I appreciate her wish and decide to change my lazy personality.
Still, I heard that many TzuChi commissioners bumped into terrible accidents.
Those who do the right things can not immune to devil.
I don’t believe those who have bad luck because they owe it and they must ever did something wrong before.
From kindergarten to high school, our teachers say,” you treat others well, and they’ll response well back to you.”
Until my best friend turn out to be badly treated by somebody who once accepted her help, the incidence deeply beats her.
All religions persuade us to forgive, not for the reason of being good to those who hurt us, but only can we forget their evil practice,we receive wholesome peace.
Indeed to forget is too hard, so to substitute hatred by new ideas is the way to go.
Under most circumstances, of course, goodwill gets feedbacks of goodwill
At lunch time, the TzuChi volunteers cost sweats and time cooking delicious meal for us.
It’s amazing that they contribute their treasure time to help us fulfilling our stomach.
I wonder why they would like to do it and feel thankful for them.
Maybe they do it for our contribution, and we worker harder to pay back to them.
