This is because people work together in unity and harmony to achieve a network of six hospitals, uniting in efforts and love.
Most importantly, other than treating illnesses,Tzu Chi hospitals also heal people's mind and empower them spiritually,so that Tzu Chi's medical mission is more than giving medical care and treatment.
We work to cure social imbalances so that people become harmonious in both body and mind, and our society becomes balanced and peaceful.
At the end of presenting the sutra verses,one of the vows is about the most wonderful delicacy:getarian food.
People just need to overcome their cravings,a cruel wish, to eat meat.
Such cravings only last a few seconds of eating meat and then nothing remains.
However, if we can overcome our cravings,that is the beginning of a courageous life and there are many benefits to come.
To achieve favorable climate, harmonious and peaceful society, good health for everyone,only one wondrous medicine can help;that wondrous medicine is the Buddha's teachings.
