Tzu Chi University
Fulfill and Broaden the Path of
Medical Science

Dharma Master Cheng Yen

Each year when the time of the clinical surgical simulation
training program approaches, my heart is filled with
appreciation and respect for these silent mentors.
While they were alive, many silent mentors expressed their
most sincere love by making the most of their time in this world
and expanding the breadth and depth of their lives. Then in
the end, they donated their bodies to help students discover
the mysteries of the human body. Their lives are indeed great
and profound. Many of the silent mentors accompanied
me in walking the Tzu Chi path. Whether building hospitals,
establishing schools, helping the poor or providing disaster
relief, they contributed their money and strength without
asking for anything in return. I still have vivid memories of them.
Tzu Chi volunteers often say they want to volunteer with Tzu
Chi life after life. I believe these silent mentors have already
left for their next lives and will be reborn as adorable little
Bodhisattvas. I still remember that several years ago, when I
met a one-year-old child, a sense of joy arose in me as soon as I
saw him. When he saw me, he began wobbling toward me and
seemed to know me very well.

His dad told me, “That’s very strange. Sometimes my child
cries, refusing to eat, I just need to tell him, ‘Be a good boy.
Don’t Cry. When you finish eating, I will give you money for
your piggy bank so that you can help Master Cheng Yen build
