Über uns

Das Linzer Zentrum wurde im Mai 1985 in der Linzer Altstadt am Graben 9 eröffnet.
Im Dezember 1983 war Lama Ole Nydahl in Linz und hielt einen Dharmavortrag im Bahnhof-Festsaal.
Das war der Anstoß für die weitere Entwicklung.
Der Sommerkurs in Füssen 1985 brachte uns auch mit den tibetischen Lamas unserer Übertragungslinie in Verbindung, die daraufhin bald nach Linz kamen. Im November 1991 übersiedelten wir in ein neues und größeres Zentrum in der Reuchlinstraße 53.

Nach einer kurzen Zeit in Linz Leonding ist unser Zentrum seit April 2003 nun in den repräsentativen Räumlichkeiten am Linzer Hauptplatz Nr. 15 untergebracht.

Ein weiteres Angebot unseres Zentrums ist das in gemeinsamer Aktivität entstandene Holzblock-Retreathaus, das wir - vom Fällen der Bäume bis zur Fertigstellung - selbst errichtet haben.
Inspiriert durch die Ratschläge unserer Lehrer, haben wir eine optimale und ruhige Stelle bei Freunden im Mühlviertel gefunden. Das Retreathaus bietet Platz für ein bis zwei Personen (Kontakt: Hans Pölzl 07267-8692).

Notes and Events:

Reverend Uttam Barua was born in Chittagon, Bangladesh. He joined the Monastic order as a Buddhist monk at the age of 12. After completing high school and serving the community, he was forced to flee to India due to unfortunate circumstances and ill treatment of his life. In 1994, he received a royal scholarship which is arranged by Ajahn Sumedo for higher Buddhist Studies that took him to Thailand. Upon his graduation, Reverend Uttam Barua moved back to India where he worked in the rural development project in Northeast India and Bangladesh. Access to education women’s health, and HIV was his main focus. 
In 2006, he was invited by the Ambedkar Mission in Toronto, where he would begin working with the Canadian Societies and ethnic groups. He also established a community center in the greater Toronto area.
In 2012, Reverend Uttam Barua was invited to Regina and chose to remain here until today. He saw that Regina was a place where he could help people who come from North and South Asia, and in the surrounding area of Saskatchewan.
Since his stay in Regina, he immediately engaged himself with the multi-faith and local communities. He works tirelessly with eight ethnic Buddhist groups, who are enriching theirs spiritual, needs for happiness. 
He is the founder of the Buddhist Center of Regina, and has been on several occasions, invited to teach Buddhism in the Catholic School system and Luther College at the University of Regina.
Reverend Uttam Barua also established a Buddhist Sunday school for the young, as well as leading a meditation class for adults and seniors every Thursday evening. His main achievement is to help every citizen, regardless of race, sex color, or creed, promote the noble teachings of Buddhism, including moral education, encouraging the understanding of each other’s faith, and to build bridges and concrete relationship in Saskatchewan and all over the country.

Notes and Events:

The seedling of Tzu Chi compassionate mission, with its origin from Taiwan quietly sprouted in Singapore in year 1987. In the early days of Tzu Chi Singapore, we had Sister Liu Jing Lian from Taiwan and along with a few volunteers, they began to visit the needy and poor in the local community. Along the way, many individuals were inspired to join in the compassionate work of Tzu Chi.

On 15 August 1991, 40 volunteers from Singapore went on a root-searching trip to Tzu Chi Headquarter in Hualien, Taiwan for the first time. This has brought about the official registration of the Buddhist Tzu Chi Merits Society (Singapore Branch) two years later in September 1993. After which, the branch office put in much effort to develop the missions of helping the poor and inspiring the rich in Singapore.

Many thanks to Dharma Master Hui Qi for sparing a space for Tzu Chi brothers and sisters for meetings and activities at the Bao Guang Temple (Poh Kwan Foh Tang) in the early days.

In August 1998, the Singapore branch was officially renamed Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation. In December the same year, the branch office was relocated to Trengganu Street in Chinatown. The new office had thus become the spiritual home for local Tzu Chi people. In early 1999, Master Cheng Yen sent one of her disciples, Sister Zhang Hong Lin from Taiwan to help in the development of the Singapore branch. Tzu Chi Cultural Centre was then renamed as Still Thoughts Cultural Services (Singapore). In 2004, Jingsi Books & Café was set up adjacent to the Chinatown office as a retail outlet to continue promoting the various publications of Tzu Chi.

In early 2003, Mr David Liu, the CEO of Tzu Chi Malacca branch was appointed by Master Cheng Yen to hold a concurrent post in Singapore branch.

Abiding the Buddha’s spirit of “Great Mercy even to Strangers, Great Compassion for All”, and following the principle of “Respecting life”, Tzu Chi people in Singapore strive to carry out the “Four Missions” and “Eight Footsteps” of Tzu Chi in the local community. Besides giving financial assistance and spiritual care to the needy, in 1999, the branch office also reach out to HIV patients and their families by providing them with support and concern. The Tzu Chi Free Clinic was then set up in August 2004 to serve the senior citizens and Tzu Chi’s aid recipients in Singapore.

Since early 2000, the Singapore Branch had extended its Medical mission by holding free clinic service twice a year for the sick and poor in neighbouring Indonesian islands such as Batam, Bintan, Karimun etc. To date, more than 20,000 locals have benefited from the service. The free clinic has also inspired many local Chinese to join in as Tzu Chi volunteers, which led to the establishment of a liaison office in Batam in year 2005.

The Singapore branch office was officially relocated to its new premise at Pasir Ris in October 2005. The Tzu Chi Continuing Education Centre was launched two months later in December 2005. It was launched with the objective of having another avenue to facilitate the spreading of Tzu Chi culture and humanities via classes such as Flower Arrangement, Chinese Calligraphy, Tea Arts and Sign Language to the general public.

At the same time, activities such as inspirational talks and beach cleaning exercises were held. On top of that, there is the ongoing monthly sharing session and recycling activities with recycling points set up in different parts of the island. All of which was aimed to encourage community participation and to enhance the sense of neighborhood cohesion.

All these years, Tzu Chi Foundation helps to bridge many caring people that have hectic work schedule to render their services to the needy. In their blue and white uniforms, the Tzu Chi volunteers reach out to the darker corners of the community, bringing love and hope to the sufferings. With a vision of “purifying minds, harmonious society and a world free of disaster and suffering”, these volunteers had left beautiful footprints on their lives as well as many others that they’ve touched.

Notes and Events:

In 1991, Tzu Chi Foundation founder Master Cheng Yen received The Magsaysay Community Leadership Award from the Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation, the equivalent of the Nobel Prize in Asia. The award included a a cash prize of US $30,000 (worth approximately PhP 825,000 then) which the Master distributed to two beneficiaries - the victims of the China flooding and of the Mt. Pinatubo eruption that took place that same year. The award paved way to the exposure of the Master’s compassion to the Filipino-Chinese community in the Philippines.

Years later, a group of local Filipino-Chinese led by volunteer Linda Chua (Tzu Chi Philippines CEO from 1994 to 2001), was inspired by their experiences with Tzu Chi in Taiwan and promised Master Cheng Yen that they would to spread their mission of love to the Philippines.

Chua’s group recruited some 200 donors, which provided the seed money for projects in the Philippines. Tzu Chi Foundation Philippines was inaugurated on November 8, 1994.
