Singapore Tzu Chi volunteer, Shen Si Zhou, shared that he finally understand why Tzu Chi volunteers wear DA.AI’s eco-polo shirt during Tzu Chi events, and that through the hard work from the grass-root environmental promoters to entrepreneurs, the Great Love is really priceless.

As Dharma Master Cheng Yen’s wish for entrepreneurs to devote themselves in the fields of environmental protection and social corporate responsibility, DA.AI’s example is only the beginning. Hope that this stream of Great Love can be carried over to the land of US and Singapore, for more people can recognize and join the Bodhisattva path of love and caring for the Earth and all living beings, and eventually purify the world, the society, and each person’s mind with peacefulness.
