書籍簡介
Master Cheng Yen does not differentiate visitors by their social status or occupations. To Master, every person who visits, whether coming from near or far, is an honored guest and a friend. These people come from many different fields of professions, including mass communication, religion, medicine, environmental protection, academia, politics, business, and so on, including Archbishop Javier Lozano Barragán, Mr. Jin Yong, Mr. Mark V. Hansen, Dr. Jane Goodall, etc.
 
The purpose of this book is to pass on the wisdom gathered from these conversations between Master Cheng Yen and her visitors. This book also strives to convey Master's broad views, which has remained unaffected despite changing times: Always uphold the principles 'for the Buddha's teachings, for sentient beings,' and 'respect life.'
 
Even though she is asked a multitude of questions, Master's ultimate focus is always on training the mind. As Master says, 'It is better to lead a simple life. The simpler, the better. If a person's mind is directed toward virtue, he will be able to make a difference for himself and build a happy family. When families are healthy, society will be harmonious.'
 
To 'seize the moment and maintain the resolve forever' by wisely utilizing life's every instant, and to comfort sentient beings in every dark corner of the word with pure wisdom and love--these are Master's resolutions, faithful path of practice, and unwavering vows of compassion.
 
Master hopes that all of us can come together to develop a field of blessings by diligently cultivating both blessings and wisdom to make our lives fuller and happier!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
 
Dharma Master Cheng Yen was born in Cingshuei Township, Taichung County, Taiwan in 1937. When she took refuge with Venerable Yin-shun in 1963, he gave her six simple words of instruction, “For Buddha’s teachings, for sentient beings.” In 1966 she established the Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation. She continues to tirelessly work to help people realize the Buddha’s compassion and the joy of the Dharma in their lives.
 
Under Master Cheng Yen’s kind and compassionate leadership, the Tzu Chi Foundation has grown into an international Buddhist charity recognized for its compassionate relief efforts. Following the teachings of the Tzu Chi School of Buddhism and the Jing Si Dharma lineage, the foundation’s four major missions are Charity, Medicine, Education, and Humanistic Culture. These missions, along with International Relief, Environmental Protection, Community Volunteerism, and Bone Marrow Donation, comprise the Eight Great Dharma-footprints. Tzu Chi volunteers work directly with people in need, providing comfort and aid with the spirit of Great Love that transcends boundaries of race, nationality, and religion.
