1. Description of Our Community

The world we live has accompanied us through so many years, yet because of humanity |s ignorance and foolishness, we have gradually destroyed and harmed Mother Nature. Saving our planet is just like rescuing life

2. Summary of Our Project

Dharma Master Cheng Yen once said, ¡§With startling disasters must come the awakening of its warning.¡¨ At the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, in disordered and chaotic states, human hearts are not as simple and pure like before. Human divides prevent harmony, thus society is full of negative and evil thoughts. From October 13, 2002, Tzu Chi has begun promoting the event of ¡§Let Kindness Heal the World¡¨ of the movement ¡§Spread the Seeds of Love¡¨ in the hopes that every person may have benevolent thoughts, and spread the love to all corners of the world. This is precisely the reason we chose the name of Tzu Chi¡|s movement as our theme. We hope that by introducing recent disasters, viewers can experience the truth and power of ¡§love¡¨. Furthermore, we hope that by telling short stories, we can awaken the love in people¡|s hearts, and let the warmth of love fill the world, creating cycles of goodness.
