Tzu Chi Foundation Facade, Hualien

Tzu Chi Foundation @ Hualien. The building is much bigger than it looks.

About Tzu Chi: The Tzu Chi Foundation is one of the three largest Buddhist organizations in Taiwan. Whereas many Buddhist societies focus on personal enlightenment and meditation, Tzu Chi focuses on community service and outreach (especially medical, educational, and disaster relief). Today, Tzu Chi is considered to be one of the most effective aid agencies in the region. Tzu Chi remains a non-profit organization and has built many hospitals and schools worldwide, including a comprehensive education system within Taiwan spanning from kindergarten through university and medical school.

Special thanks to the Taiwan Visitors Association(Tourism Bureau) for the "Let's Bike Taiwan 2009" invitation and their excellent hospitality.
