About this listen

This book features a selection of stories told by Dharma Master Cheng Yen, including tales from Buddhist scriptures, traditional moral tales, current events, and real-life encounters. Though simple on the surface, each story carries profound wisdom and compassion. Through these moving narratives, readers are invited to reflect on the Dharma in everyday life, connect with genuine human emotions, and find strength and clarity for their spiritual journey.

Over the decades of Tzu Chi’s development, Master has consistently reminded Tzu Chi volunteers to never forget their initial aspiration and to constantly renew their aspirations. We learn by doing, awaken by learning, and then integrate what we have learned into our practice—in this way, we can experience the truths of the Buddha Dharma. Master often says that a genuine and sincere heart is where spiritual training takes place. Tzu Chi is a spiritual training ground where volunteers can fully put the master’s mission into practice by diligently integrating the Buddha Dharma in daily life and becoming Living Bodhisattvas in this world.

As Dharma Master Cheng Yen says, “A spacious heart is goodness, and pure thoughts are beauty. An open heart and pure thoughts bring joy and are the foundation of our humanistic culture.” It is her hope that this book will inspire more aspiring bodhisattvas to give with sincere love and broad, pure hearts—working together to create a world filled with goodness and beauty.
