Australian volunteers relieve suffering and accept responsibility with love and without fear-2

Article Details

It has been said, “Blessed are those with good hearts, whose hope is powerful. We should create our own field of fortune to enjoy the full benefit of our efforts.” Ever since their relief effort after a major 2011 flood, Tzu Chi volunteers in Australia have found it easier to promote the Tzu Chi view on environmental protection by partnering with the government in what has become a long-term cooperative relationship with civil authorities. Sister Zhao-Feng described the experience and struggles that came with promoting Tzu Chi in Australia. She explained her efforts by quoting: “The benevolent has no enemy, while the courageous has no fear.”

Tapping into the power of Master Cheng Yen’s Dharma and wisdom, she eventually managed to pave the way to wider acceptance in Australia. Now she can affirm her pride in DA.AI Tech accomplishments; as well as investing all profits after expenses back into Tzu Chi, DA.AI Tech is totally dedicated to protecting Mother Earth. The love from every volunteer, woven into every piece of fabric, enables volunteers to provide comfort at the right moment, touching the hearts and impressing Australian community members. As a result, relationships between Tzu Chi volunteers and the Australian population have never been stronger, as the environmentally friendly fabrics and environmental education they undertake in Australia has continued to flourish, encouraging more people to implement environmental protection practices in their lives and bringing new peace of mind to local residents.

Sister Zhao-Feng reminded DA.AI Tech colleagues that environmental protection is fast becoming a major topic of discussion everywhere. This presents DA.AI Tech great leverage as it expresses its commitment to save the earth. It is a blessing that each of us has an opportunity to meet this once-in-a-million-years opportunity to be in such a place and doing such meaningful work. Everyone should take advantage of the opportunity by actively supporting DA.AI Tech's “positive industry” and “positive livelihood,” as part of the Eight Positive Path. Oversea volunteers' unwavering hard work and courage is touching the hearts of our colleagues, as everyone collaborates on accomplishing Tzu Chi missions. By helping achieve peace and prosperity in their communities, they give essential encouragement to DA.AI Tech colleagues. By attracting more individuals to support in this movement, built on love and spreading compassion and kindness to every corner of the world.
