The earliest teaching documented in this series was given in 1980, when then president, Mr. Chiang Ching-kuo, visited the Jing Si Abode in Hualien. During this visit, Master Cheng Yen shared about the groups Tzu Chi Merit Association helped, the kinds of help provided, and its operating process. The most recent teaching was given in April 2021, after a Taroko Express train operated by the Taiwan Railways Administration derailed in and caused serious casualties. Master Cheng Yen expressed her empathy and compassion to the volunteers who went to the accident site right after the incident to provide help. The historical materials span as long as forty-one years and across two centuries. Volume Two regards relationships within families and between individuals in groups such as the workplace. When we are able to look beyond ourselves and have empathy for the viewpoints of others, when we treat each other with gratitude and mutual respect, our interactions will become harmonious. With the right perspective we can appreciate each other’s virtues, and the world becomes spacious and broad.
