總會長的話

團結

心保和尚

自

古以來，因為團結而成功的例子不勝枚舉。 國際佛光會全球各協分會，遵循國際佛光會

世界大會各項決議案，在文化、教育、慈善、共修 方面，皆同心協力，全力以赴，來達成慈悲濟世、 化世益人的任務。 VegRun公益路跑活動，每一洲各協會一棒接一 棒，將環保與慈善救濟結合；植樹、淨灘、清淨公園，推廣 素食，簽署「蔬食A計畫」，佛光人將「環保與心保」落實在日常生活中，更積 極接引更多人士參與。在慈善方面，幾乎動員所能發揮的機制與機緣，包括各種 慈善義舉、急難救助，都能與教育相結合，不僅僅只在物質上的救助，其中的教 育功能更具深遠意義。並以此特色，參與聯合國婦女委員會議CSW等，每每獲 得好評。 要成就任何一項活動，需要各組別分工合作，團結一致，為共同目標而努 力。團結對於個人修行和團體乃至社會，皆具有相當的重要性，團結的核心在於 「和合」。佛教僧團非常重視和合、六和敬，正如創會會長星雲大師所言：「一 個團體若能共同行持六和敬，就能發揮團體的力量。」團結不僅僅是人與人之間 的合作，更是心手相連的邁進。「團結就是力量」，一個和諧的團隊更能夠發揮 出比個體更大的力量，真正的團結需要建立在互相理解、尊重包容和無私奉獻的 基礎上，通過溝通與共識來達成共同的目標。 談到團結，「人我一如、自他不二」的理念非常重要，即個人與他人、個體 與整體之間的和合關係，團結共同建立發展人間佛教理念，就如〈惜別歌〉歌詞 「興教創業，全始全終，且喜志和道同」；通過團結，我們能夠擴大視野，從而 達到自我提升和開展胸懷與其他人交流互鑒。星雲大師曾說到團結：「容納異己 才能團結、分工合作才能團結、充實力量才能團結、犧牲奉獻才能團結」。 團結是「以大我和大局為重」，在團隊和福利社會活動中，理解他人的需 求、包容自他不足之處，達成共識，建立和諧默契迅速補位，是圓滿活動的重要 基石。而在此基礎上，團隊更能體認到，團結是一種修行，奮力磨去個人習氣， 更為契入四攝六度，讓自我與團體更加完善，從而為團結注入更深層次的意義。

Words from the President

Most Venerable Hsin Bau Unity

S

ince ancient times, successes resulting from unity are too many to count. BLIA chapters worldwide abide by the various resolutions reached at the General Conference in culture, education, charity, and cultivation.

They collaborate with the same mind in progressing with full effort to fulfill the mission of providing society with compassion, and to change the world and benefit humanity.

With the VegRun Charity Run, chapters on each continent pass the baton from one to another, consolidating environmental preservation with charity by undertaking tree planting, beach cleaning, park cleanup, and promoting vegetarianism with pledges for Veg Plan A. BLIA members have actualized environmental and spiritual preservation in daily living, and are proactive in bringing more people to participate in the endeavor. In charity, almost all mechanisms and opportunities have been mobilized, including various charity activities and emergency rescue efforts, all of which are integrated with education.

As such, not only material resources are provided in giving support, the significance of education within the relief effort is even more far-reaching. By participating with this unique characteristic in the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) Meeting, favorable reviews are often received.

In order to accomplish any activity, it takes the collaboration of different groups coming together in unity to work toward the common goal. Unity is of considerable importance for individual cultivation as well as for organizations and society. The core of unity lies in harmony; Buddhist sangha is very focused on harmony, the Six Points of Reverent Harmony. As stated by Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun, “If an organization can jointly uphold the Six Points of Reverent Harmony, then it can bring forth the strength of the organization.” Unity is not only the cooperation between individuals, it is more the progress made with the joining of hands and minds. “Unity is strength,” a harmonious team can bring forth even greater strength than an individual. True unity has to be based on mutual understanding, respect, and tolerance as well as selfless contribution; it is through communication and consensus that a shared goal can be reached.

Speaking of unity, the concept of “other and self are one; self and other are non-dual” is very important.

It signifies the cooperative relationship between the individual self and another, and between the individual unit and the whole organization. Unity is to establish and develop the concepts of Humanistic Buddhism, as the lyrics of the Farewell Song indicated, “Prosper Buddhism with new undertakings, seeing it through to the end, rejoicing as like-minded hearts taking the same path.” Through unity, we can broaden our vista to sublimate ourselves and open our mind to have exchanges in learning from others. Venerable Master Hsing Yun had spoken about unity, “Unity can only be reached by embracing those who are different from us, by working together in cooperation, by fortifying our strength, and by making sacrifices and contributions.”

Unity is “taking the greater self and the bigger picture as focus.” Within the team and the activities for social well-being, we need to understand the needs of other people, and tolerate the inadequacies between self and other in order to reach consensus. Building harmony and connection to fill in any missing position is the cornerstone for fulfilling any activity. On this foundation, the team can further realize that unity is a form of cultivation; in the determination to reduce personal habitual tendencies, we connect deeper with the Four Means of Embracing and Six Perfections for perfecting both the self and the team. Hence, an even more profound significance can be instilled into unity.

Words of the Acting President

Venerable Tzu Jung Establishing a Humanistic Pure Land Together All BLIA members, auspicious greetings!

T

his year, extraordinary and precious conditions have come together for us to host the BLIA World Headquarters Board of Directors Meeting at Hosuiji Temple in Japan. I remember that back in 1994

and 2002, Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun was also in Tokyo, Japan with BLIA members worldwide for the General Conference. At these meaningful gatherings, we discussed BLIA’s vision and prospects for the future. Through the cultural tours, we learned about Japan’s social customs and expanded our horizons.

Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun was a great visionary of our era. With his establishment of the Buddha’s Light International Association, he led BLIA members across the world in the propagation of Humanistic Buddhism, bringing it into families and communities. He also guided BLIA members in applying the Dharma to bring more joy and fulfillment to daily life. BLIA members broadly form affinities with the community through acts of service. In the face of natural and man-made disasters, as well as the needy and underprivileged, they show concern and offer relief supplies. Amid climate change, they proactively participate in tree planting, reforestation, beach cleanups, and the promotion of vegetarianism, doing what little they can to protect the Earth.

Continuous technological advancements have brought about rapid change in this age. While BLIA members keep up with the times by learning new technologies, they have also followed the spiritual guidance of the Dharma. They proactively participate in study groups, Chan and Pure Land Light Offering Dharma Services, bathing the Buddha in celebration of the Buddha’s Birthday, and other events that purify the human mind. They actualize the Venerable Master’s teachings such as the Three Acts of Goodness, Four Givings, and Five Harmonies in daily life and at BLIA events. By demonstrating the compassion and wisdom of Humanistic Buddhism, they have made the Dharma an integral component of life. Through singing Sounds of the Human World songs, they spread the beauty and positivity of Buddhism to even more people.

Thank you, BLIA members around the world; it is due to your collective effort and dedication that BLIA’s contributions are recognized by many in society. I hope that we can carry Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s spirit and vision forward. Let us make more contributions to the propagation of Humanistic Buddhism, societal harmony, and world peace. By broadly forming affinities and following the bodhisattva path, let us benefit the world and establish a beautiful humanistic Pure Land together! Once again, thank you everyone!

秘書長的話

佛光會是一所「覺有情」的學校

覺培法師

其說「國際佛光會」是一個佛教信徒的組織， 不如說它更像是創會會長 星雲大師為一群發

菩提心的三寶弟子們成立的一所「菩薩學校」。這 所學校教會我們從「利他」中完成「自利」，以 「佛法的內涵」為設計的課綱，以「眾生的幸福安 樂」為實踐的目標，於「人間的粹鍊」作為考試的 場域，在全球各地展開「服務奉獻」以作為「增上 心」的開展，困難與煩惱成為「出離心」的原動力， 最終體會「自他兩利」的「菩薩道」使人生不虛此行。 作為這所菩薩學校學生的我們，要知道「稟承佛陀教法，虔誠恭敬三寶；弘法 利生，覺世牖民。倡導生活佛教，建設佛光淨土；落實人間，慈悲濟世；恪遵佛法 遺制，融和五乘共法；修持三學，圓滿人格。發揮國際性格，從事文化教育；闊大 心胸，重視群我。」是為學校的「宗旨」。而「提倡人間佛教，建設佛光淨土，淨 化世道人心、實現世界和平」是為學生們努力的「目標」。創會會長 星雲大師勉勵 在這裡學習的每一個人都要有「信仰的根性，普及的特性，現代的適性，國際的廣 性。」之性格。走入人群裡面對各式各樣的因緣，要學習做個「同體的慈悲人，共 生的地球人，明理的智慧人，有力的忍耐人，施捨的結緣人，清淨的修道人，歡喜 的快樂人，以及融和的佛光人。」 在這所學校裡，透過分層負責的組織系統，有同參道友的通力合作，在每個人 自己所屬的國家、城市與道場精進學習，或為淨化心靈而參加「禪淨共修」，或在 「讀書會」的共學中明白經典的道理；我們也為氣候的變遷而推動「蔬食A計劃」， 為地球暖化而展開「VegRun公益路跑」。我們發心為窮人翻轉生命而贊助「好苗 子」助學，也透過「合唱團」的歌聲與「宣講員」的講述，分享著對佛法的喜悅。 我們獎勵「三好微電影」的導演們持續透過影片傳遞著人間的善美，更在世界大會 或理事會、各洲聯誼會裡結交諸上善人，聆聽著「人間佛教」在各地的具體行動。 感謝這所學校的輔導法師、督導、會長與所有發心佛光人，大家都以「無給 職」的身份成為神聖的「義工」；在這所學校裡，如朵朵的蓮池海會雲來集，最終 將在「菩薩道」的實踐中體證佛陀的教法而「覺悟有情」。

A Message from the Secretary General

Venerable Chueh Pei Buddha’s Light International Association is a School to “Enlighten Sentient Beings”

I

nstead of calling Buddha’s Light International Association an organization for Buddhist devotees, it is more like what Founding President, Venerable Master Hsing Yun had established for disciples of the Triple Gem who have given rise to the Bodhi mind, a “Bodhisattva School.” This school teaches us to fulfill the benefiting of self through benefiting others; the curriculum is based on the Dharma with the happiness and ease of sentient beings as the goal of application. The place of tests and exams is within being tempered in the world, with serving and contributing around the globe as the initiation of the mind to make progress. Hardships and worries are the motivation of the mind to renounce; in the end, it is the realization of the bodhisattva path of benefiting self and others for living a life that is not in vain.

As students of this bodhisattva school, we need to know the objectives of the school: “Uphold the Buddha’s teachings with respect and devotion to the Triple Gem; propagate the Dharma to benefit sentient beings, awakening the world and its people. Advocate living Buddhism to establish the Buddha’s light pure land; practice in the world by benefitting humanity. Observe the legacy of the Buddha’s teachings, harmonizing the five vehicles within the Dharma; cultivate the three-fold teachings to fulfill our character. Bring forth the international perspective to undertake endeavors in culture and education; broaden our mind and capacity in focusing on the self and community.” The goal for students to strive for is: “Advocate Humanistic Buddhism to establish the Buddha’s light pure land, purify social trends and people’s mind, and actualize world peace.” Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun encouraged every person learning here should have the following characteristics: “The fundamental root of faith, the uniqueness of universality, the adaptability of modernization, and the breadth of internationalization.” In facing various causes and conditions as we go with the multitude, we learn to be: “a compassionate person of oneness, a global citizen of coexistence, a wise person of reasoning, a patient person of strength, a giving person of affinity, a cultivating person of purity, a happy person of joy, and a Buddha’s Light person of harmony.”

In this school, through the organization of layered responsibilities and the collaboration of fellow practitioners of the Way, we learn diligently at the temple in our own country or city. We participate in “Chan and Pure Land Cultivation” for spiritual purification, or learn together in reading groups for understanding the principles in the sutras. We promote Veg Plan A for climate change, and launch the VegRun Charity Run because of global warming. We sponsor Seeds of Hope to support needy students in education so they can turn their lives around. Through singing in choirs and speaking as Humanistic Buddhism Speakers, we share our joy in the Dharma. We encourage directors of the Three Acts of Goodness Microfilms to keep spreading the kindness and beauty in the world through movies. Furthermore, we make friends with various good people at General Conferences, Board of Directors Meetings, and Fellowship Meetings on the different continents, listening to the practical actions taken within Humanistic Buddhism in different parts of the world.

We thank the school’s monastic advisors, elder advisors, presidents, and all BLIA members for their resolve; all of us have become sacred volunteers with the position of a “no-pay job.” In this school, it is the gathering of many lotus flowers and auspicious clouds; in the end, through actualization of the bodhisattva path, we realize the Buddha’s teachings to enlighten all sentient beings.

With their sincere chanting, they commemorated the infinite kindness that Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun gave, and appreciation to him for establishing a Pure Land of faith in this world.

Throughout his life, the Venerable Master liberated sentient beings by actualizing the bodhisattva path in the world. In An Honest Revelation, he left us with these words, “Buddhist songs chosen from the Sounds of the Human World may be sung by those who miss me. The most fitting way to honor my memory and my sincere wish is for everyone to bear the teachings of Humanistic Buddhism in mind and always practice Humanistic Buddhism.”

In addition to chanting and reciting prayers, BLIA members also built a heart-to-heart connection with the Venerable Master by making a beautiful offering of music and lyrics through Sounds of the Human World songs. Through forums and talks, BLIA shared Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun's teachings through his speech and self-examples, commemorating the influence and change that his compassion and wisdom have brought to all BLIA members by recounting his deeds and accomplishments. Some went on retracing journeys to find the Venerable Master’s kindness and spirit, which have become deeply rooted in the mind of each BLIA member, and influenced their future generations as well. “Stars and clouds so fast they are infinite, shining light on the five continents and the world; today as you bid goodbye and reach the far shore, may your return to benefit the world be swift.” All BLIA members firmly believe Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun will return on the wings of his vow, continuing our Dharma affinities and universally benefiting sentient beings.

Star and Cloud The Musical from the Philippines

O

n February 24 and 25, to commemorate the Memorial Day for the First Anniversary of Fo Guang Shan Founding Master—Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s Passing Away, World Headquarters Spor ts Committee Deputy Director and FGS Philippines Chief Abbess Ven. Yung Guang led Guang Ming Institute of Performing Arts Cebu to the Great Enlightenment Auditorium, FGS Buddha Museum to perform Star and Cloud The Musical.

Star and Cloud The Musical is produced by the musician Jude Gitamondoc, using Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s biography Bright Star, Luminous Cloud: The Life of a Simple Monk as a blueprint. The musical takes the audience across time and space to thoroughly explore Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun propagation of Humanistic Buddhism. It follows the Venerable Master’s storied and moving life of Dharma propagation, from his beginnings at Yilan’s Leiyin Temple to founding Fo Guang Shan, spreading the Dharma westward and establishing Hsi Lai Temple; he further expanded across the five continents with more than 300 temples worldwide and founded the Buddha’s Light International Association.

In his remarks, World Headquarters President Most Venerable Hsin Bau expressed his gratitude to the Siddhartha The Musical family from FGS Philippines Guang Ming College. Through Star and Cloud The Musical, they put on a perfect depiction of the Venerable Master’s lifelong wish, compassion and wisdom, and his dedication to Buddhism.

The audience could see the Venerable Master’s spirit as well as his heart. The Venerable Master’s compassion is without differentiation; even in the predominantly Catholic country of the Philippines, he laid strong foundations in art, culture, charity, and education. He established the Siddhartha Theater in Cebu, striving for a world of truth, virtue, and beauty by spreading the Three Acts of Goodness and Four Givings. He supported the development of youth artists and musicians, and his efforts have borne fruit as these youths have become talented Dharma propagators through art. Sports Committee Deputy Director Ven. Yung Guang mentioned that the Venerable Master often asked, “What can I do for you?” In turn, the Siddhartha The Musical family thought, “What can we do for the Venerable Master?” This led to the conception of Star and Cloud The Musical as a dedication to their dear Venerable Master and a way to give back to Fo Guang Shan.

BLIA members across the world viewed the exciting and moving performance in-person and online to remember Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun.

They worked tirelessly for three months writing the script, translating it into Indonesian, completing the graphics design, casting the roles, and preparing the props. Ultimately, they decided to present the Venerable Master’s life through musical performances in Indonesia.

When the Venerable Master founded Fo Guang Shan, he set up Buddhist enterprises that focused on culture, education, charity, and cultivation. The Venerable Master’s lifelong spirit of compassion and transformation could be seen throughout the musical.

The concert began with a harmonious and upbeat dance that paved the way for the deeply meaningful musical. A total of 135 BLIA members performed in the concert. None of the children, youths, or adults were professional actors, but after three months of collective effort, the dance, solo, and choral performances of Sounds of the Human World songs finally came together as a breathtaking tribute concert.

National Buddha's Birthday ~ Celebrations Worldwide

T

he Buddha's Birthday is also known as the Bathing Buddha Festival. According to the sutras, more than 2,600 years ago, Queen Maya of Kapilavastu, India gave birth to Prince Siddhartha on the 8th day of the fourth Lunar month. At that time, the Four Heavenly Kings and nine nagas bathed the prince with a fragrant spring. Thereafter, Buddhists celebrate the birth of their great teacher by conducting a bathing ceremony on the eighth day of the fourth Lunar month. The purpose of bathing Buddha is to cleanse our body and mind, purifying the mind through external bathing elevates our spirituality.

Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun stated, “ The Buddha is the Enlightened One of compassion and wisdom. Like a loving mother to all sentient beings, he serves all sentient beings selflessly, blessing all beings with auspiciousness and happiness. Therefore, the true ‘bathing of the Buddha’ is to purify our body and mind through the sacred virtues of the Buddha. Hence, we can bathe in the light of the Buddha’s compassion, so that our lives can be constantly renewed.”

The Buddha's birthday is an important festival for Buddhists. In celebrating this special day, BLIA members held various events to commemorate the Buddha’s birthday, such as Cloud and Water Buddha bathing, float parades, blessing ceremonies, Buddha's birthday cultural exhibitions, vegetarian fairs, etc.

With the joint efforts of BLIA members worldwide, the Buddha's Birthday Festival has gradually gained recognition by the local people and government.

With the government’s support and the public’s enthusiastic response, the Buddha's Birthday Festival has become one of the important local celebrations and a force of positive energy in the community, bringing harmony and goodness to society.

發展 Reading Expo: A Literary Society

I

n order to actualize the concept of “a life enriched by the fragrance of books” in Humanistic Buddhism, Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun had dedicated himself to promoting a nationwide reading movement. His vision is to create a “literary society” where the joy of reading can help improve social morals. Venerable Master Hsing Yun encouraged BLIA members to achieve through reading: “Read to become a better person, read to comprehend more, read to understand causes and conditions, and read to know the mind.” As such, members can enhance their substance, refine their temperament, and bring greater meaning to life. BLIA members have established reading groups to foster a literary lifestyle, viewing reading as the best path for lifelong learning.

They actively participate in reading expos, seminars, and reading group training, taking concrete steps to embody the ideal of “a life enriched by the fragrance of books.”

The “Humanistic Buddhism Reading Seminar” has been held annually at FGS Dong Zen Temple in Malaysia. On May 1, 2024, the seminar invited Venerable Chueh Pei, BLIA World Headquarters S ecretar y G eneral and Executive Direc tor of the Humanistic Buddhism Reading Association Headquarters, to lead the training for the reading group team with over 230 leaders participated in the training session.

These training seminars affirm the right perspectives, such as only conducting activities in accord with Buddhism, servicing others and contributing to the community.

Seminars and training are essential for BLIA executives.

Through sessions on “BLIA Objectives and Ideals,” “How to Be a BLIA Member,” and “An Introduction to the Operation and Affairs of BLIA for Executives,” new executives gain a deeper understanding of their roles and responsibilities.

“Group Discussions” and “Sharing Sessions” further help build consensus. BLIA chapters worldwide regularly organize executive seminars to support the organization’s growth and its activities. In addition, BLIA members are committed to selfimprovement, actively engaging in the “Humanistic Buddhism Speakers” program. This three-stage speaking approach allows them to share the teachings of Humanistic Buddhism and their personal experiences with the Dharma with a broader audience.

On June 16, 2024, BLIA Bangkok, Thailand seized a rare opportunity to seek Dharma guidance; chapter President Liu Liang Ching requested teachings from Most Venerable Hsin Bau, BLIA World Headquarters President, and further invited Vice President Liu Chao-Ming, Secretary General Venerable Chueh Pei, and Vice Secretary General Southeast Asia Venerable Chueh Cheng to a discussion session, during which the executives sought advice on self-improvement and related topics.

VegRun Global Veg-Revival Community Run

T

he VegRun Global Veg-Revival Community Run was launched during the pandemic. In response to the campaign, BLIA and Pure Green Foundation organized the “Veg Revival - All Come Support” project to support the charity run. Based on the principle, “You run, I donate,” BLIA will donate NT$10 for a vegetarian meal to the participants for every kilometer run; after running 10 kilometers, a vegetarian meal would be provided to those in need, so the love can continue to flow. VegRun allows participants to donate vegetarian meals through the charity run and promotes vegetarianism, thereby slowing global warming and contributing to environmental preservation. The VegRun Global Veg-Revival Community Run was launched by BLIA Chunghua on International Vegetarian Day, November 25, 2021. In the course of enjoying the run as recreation, BLIA members and executives will be more conscious of climate change and environmental preservation.

The 2022 VegRun Global Veg-Revival Community Run started a global relay across the five continents, beginning in South America on April 22, 2022, continuing through North America, Europe, Oceana, and Africa, and finishing the final leg of the relay in Asia on May 16, 2023. Funds raised from the events were donated to the mayor’s charity funds, food banks, tree-planting organizations, city government “Seeds of Hope,” children’s hospitals, and food donations to charitable organizations. Through the VegRun Global Veg-Revival Community Run, love continues to flow. The VegRun Global Veg-Revival Community Run received support and recognition from all walks of life. In particular, in Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sent a letter of recognition for the event; MP Paul Chiang, Markham City Mayor Frank Scarpitti and Councilor Lee Si-Wun also offered their recognition. In the United States, New York City Mayor Eric Adams presented congratulatory messages and declared that day as “VegRun Day” to acknowledge the event's contributions to the local community.

Additionally, some events advocate the “ Tree Planting Initiative—Everyone Can Participate,” where participants were encouraged to adopt and plant a sapling after completing the run, raising awareness of climate change and global warming.

In response to the United Nations’ 11 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), BLIA promoted the 2030 Net-Zero Carbon initiative and began supporting the “T-Earth Reforestation Project” in 2021. This initiative focuses on forest restoration to ensure the coexistence of the Earth and humanity, fostering sustainable and equitable intergenerational transmission and creating a prosperous economy that benefits society and the environment.

傳承 Buddhist Wedding and Bodhi Couples Blessing Ceremony

H

umanistic Buddhism values the joyous harmony of the family. Hence, the Buddhist perspective of family not only considers family as necessary to sustain life but more so for the legacy of compassion, ethics, and faith.

Right views and right thoughts are the foundation for a Bodhi couple to establish a blessed and happy family. As the saying goes, “It takes ten years of cultivation to share a boat with someone; and a hundred years of cultivation to share a pillow.” The relationship between husband and wife is the result of a hundred years of cultivating affinity, a truly rare occurrence.

BLIA World Headquarters Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun often encouraged newlyweds and Bodhi couples to learn the way of marriage, which must be nurtured through mutual respect. A happy family can only be built with mutual respect and love. While young and dating, one should look closely at the other with both eyes wide open. When the couple is about to marry, it is time to use just one eye, similar to carpenters using one eye to make precise measurements. However, after getting married, couples should no longer use their eyes to see but their hearts and love to view their relationship.

Founding President Venerable Master Hsing Yun encouraged the building of a Buddhist family with the hope that the Dharma can be integrated into family life to elevate the quality of a marriage. He ranked married couples in three tiers and hoped that Bodhi couples can become the highest-quality husband and wife. The top rank husband will be able to take up household responsibilities and care for his other half, so that his wife will not feel neglected but honored. The finest wife will be gentle, thoughtful, trustworthy, staunchly loyal, often complimenting and wholeheartedly supportive of her husband’s career. As such, love like this will only win more love. Fo Guang members on the five continents hold Buddhist Wedding Ceremonies or Bodhi Couple Blessing Ceremonies so families can be filled with happiness.

n upholding the spirit of bodhisattvas and volunteers, BLIA has been providing care for society and spreading the seeds of compassion to every corner in the world. BLIA members worldwide have been spreading compassion and lovingkindness in different places; some care for the widowed and orphaned, some console the elderly, some provide compassionate relief, and others support the underprivileged.

In responding to charitable activities in society, some donate wheelchairs to the physically-challenged, and conduct free clinics and blood drive. It is in the hopes that through the spirit of the bodhisattva path within Humanistic Buddhism, more needy people in society receive support for their body and mind, filling the world with love, warmth, and harmony.

In the course of caring for needy communities and charity work in society, BLIA pays even more attention to giving and supporting education. It is said, “It takes ten years to nurture a tree; it takes a hundred years to nurture a person.” Though education is a long-term endeavor, it is only education that can transform a person’s life. Hence, BLIA has been providing support for education around the world, besides nurturing Seeds of Hope with scholarships and grants for needy students, there are also distribution of book bags, textbooks, and stationery items for their education needs, helping these children to have sufficient resources for learning. In addition, educational activities are held in remote regions, bringing hygiene education and Three Acts of Goodness principles to parents and children, so that the concepts of Three Acts of Goodness can take root in them from a young age.

On November 18, 2023, BLIA Dallas, USA, in collaboration with the American Red Cross, organized a blood drive with 21 participants signing up to contribute.
