人間菩提--醫學授袍．願為良醫
I solemnly pledge that as a doctor, I will dedicate myself whole heartedly to serving humanity will practice medicine with conscience and dignity and consider the health of my patients my top priority.
I will not allow religion, nationality, race, politics, social status, and other factors to affect my duty toward my patients.
We often hear people speak of humane doctors and virtuous government officials.
With virtuous government officials, the national policies they make will enable the
country to prosper & the people to live in peace.
Likewise, if there are humane, conscientious doctors in society they'll safeguard people's lives with love and take good care of people's health.
Look at how bright and promising these interns are.
By taking an oath, they are preparing to take up the responsibility and mission of a doctor with courage and resolution.
This is the ninth "white coat ceremony" we have held for our medical students to date.
Yesterday, we also saw Qun-ming, who was from the second graduating class of our
He is now serving at our hospital in Dalin.
He came to Hualien two days ago for a training class to become a certified Tzu Cheng.
How fast children grow up.
Qun-ming was among the second graduating class at our medical school here in Hualien.
After medical school, he underwent his internship and served as a resident at our hospital in Hualien.
He's now an associate attending physician in Dalin.
He not only treats patients, but he also puts our spirit of humanity into practice.
This year, he is attending our training program to become a certified Tzu Cheng member.
At the closing ceremony for the training two day ago, he went onstage to share with everyone what I said to him at his "white coat ceremony".
I remember very clearly what Master said to us that year. Master said:
"As doctors, you must humble yourselves"
"so that you can be accepted"
"and loved by others"
"You must humbly learn from others"
"and treat your patients (as family)"
When Master put the stethoscope on us, Master asked us:
"Do you feel the weight being put on you?"
"What weight is that?"
"The weight of the responsibility"
"to care for the most precious thing on Earth---"
"life"
"You must shoulder the responsibility"
"of caring for people's lives"
He said that at the time, he was still very young and was thinking.
"How do I shoulder this responsibility?"
Only after becoming a doctor did he realize how heavy the responsibility of caring for lives is.
Indeed, isn't that the inherent calling of conscientious doctors?
Qun-ming is truly a role model for this group of medical students.
Such guidance from previous graduating classes is truly very important as they serve as good examples to follow.
I hope that such an exemplary model can be passed on from one class to the next.
At the "White coat ceremony" yesterday, a student honestly shared that although
They had to pay for the stethoscope themselves, my putting it on for them mean a responsibility is placed on him.
Later when I spoke to them, I told them that a stethoscope may have cost around US$60, but that's a tool they themselves will be using.
Then I shared with them that the school they are attending was made possible by the giving of all Tzu Chi members.
I went on to ask them how much they have to pay for a meal at the cafeteria.
They said NT$25 (US$0.75)
An all-you-can-eat meal for NT$25 (US$0.75)
And the dormitory they live in----
See how comfortable it is.
If they rent a place outside of campus, would it be as comfortable and cheap as our dormitory?
Our dormitory is safe, bright, and beautiful.
In fact, here in Tzu Chi's medical school we've put all our hearts in to educating and nurturing our students.
All we hope is that they may serve patients with genuine sincerity and relieve the suffering of those who are sick.
All that Tzu Chi volunteers have selflessly done for them, is only for this.
Some students told me that when they learned that their Tzu Chi Moms and dads were coming to see them to avoid meeting them.
I told them that they truly didn't know to appreciate what they had.
They should know that these Tzu Chi moms and dads are the ones who helped me build schools and hospitals.
They pay for their own travel expenses to come to Hualien to care for our students like their children.
Not all of them are well-off, but they live frugally to save up the money to come here and care for our students.
Sometimes when something happens to our students, because their own parents live farther away our Tzu Chi moms and dads will come and care for them even before their own parents arrive.
Why don't our students know to cherish them?
So, I told them that being so well cared for they should truly cherish and appreciate it.
But the young people we saw yesterday had a genuine and innocent heart.
If you teach them and tell them all we've done for them.
They can understand
I didn't do this to seek credit,
But to let them know that it was through the selfless giving of many that they are able to enjoy what they have today.
I want to thank Master for having created this world of Tzu Chi so that we can meet each other here.
I also want to thank our teachers and the monastics at the Abode for doing so much for us and being here with us these two days.
I must also thank all the parents who love their children so much and came all the way to be here to attend their child's white coat ceremony.
And thank you, every one of my classmates, for your support and encouragement throughout these years.
Lastly, I'd like to thank my father. He rode a bike from Zhanghua to Hualien to be here.
So, I'd like to take this opportunity to say to my father:
"Thank you for doing this for me, Dad"
It took him three days to ride from Zhanghua to Hualien.
Her father isn't in very good health.
So, why did he do that?
He wanted to encourage his daughter by way of action.
In fact, this family isn't very rich.
Though her father couldn't provide all the best material things to her, he did this to show his love her.
See what a loving relationship they have.
It's truly very moving.
So, seeing this group of genuine students
(who are about to become interns,)
And then seeing the dedication of our staff who educated our students with such mindfulness and seeing parents such as that father who had such earnest hopes for his daughter and expressed it with such a show of willpower.
These were all very moving.
In this big group of Tzu Chi, we have very moving stories to share every day.
So, every day, I'm very grateful.
As well as being grateful, we should also heighten our vigilance at all times.
We saw that Typhoon Hagupit has now been upgraded to a category 2 typhoon.
Seeing the mass of clouds, it's truly hard to tell whether the typhoon.
(will veer toward
Truly, we should remain on the alert and continue to uphold the vegetarian fast with a sincere and pious heart.
We also need to pray with sincere piety and pray that this typhoon will weaken so that it can pass by gently and then dissipate.
Every day, we should remain on high alert.
Wherever we may be, we should make thorough preparations.
We see that in
So people can remember this disaster and not let this day fade from their minds because we must awaken to the lessons that alarming disasters bring and always keep these disasters and the lessons we learn in mind.
So, I hope everyone can constantly remain on the alert.
I'm also very grateful to David D'or for holding seven concerts across the U.S to raise money for our international relief fund.
Altogether, David D'or raised around US$2 million which is tens of millions of NT dollars.
I'm truly very grateful to everyone for giving of themselves with such love.
It is through the selfless giving of so many that those in suffering are able to receive comfort and support.
So, those who have the means should give more of themselves, so that they can help
more living beings in suffering.
All in all, in a country, besides needing virtuous government officials, we also need humane doctors.
Let's hope that the students we nurtured are seeds of goodness.
(and will become humane doctors)
