Tzu Chi Foundation

We visited this foundation today. It is based on Buddism, but they seek help from all. They are a humanitarian organization and participate in disaster relief and poverty assistance. The founder Master Cheng Yen (female), lives in a modest home in Northern Taiwan and teaches that her followers must support themselves and not accept alms. They support themselves by recycling plastics and making clothing from it. The mural in the picture in their worship hall. Similar to a christian chapel. The mural in the picture was beautiful. It was made from over four million mosaic tiles imported from North Korea. It was another really cool stop.
