人間菩提--熱衷教育為典範

 
 

Greetings to Grand-master.

We meet for the second time.

Grand-master, I love you.

Thank you.

What grade are you in?

You can braid your own hair.

(I'm so lucky to meet Grand-master)

(Yes, indeed)

We have karmic affinities.

He said he will (continue your legacy)

(In what way?)

I want to your disciple, your second generation.

You want to be my second generation disciple

(Coming to our schools in Tainan,)

I am see our students conducting themselves like young gentlemen and young ladies.

(Since the last time I visited)

(the students have improved a lot)

Now, you can see in them an air of grace.

Even though I do not come here often when I visit I can see the growth in the students.

Their behavior and the way they carry themselves have improved.

This is the result of the teachers' genuine and sincere love in teaching the students.

The lotus flower represents Tzu Chi and Buddhism because Buddhism uses the lotus flower as a symbol.

Every time I come here the elementary students will give me a tour of the school.

Last year, a girl explained to me the picture designs on the railings.

She also explained to me the stories behind each picture.

This year a group of boys gave the tour.

They were like our adult Tzu Cheng members.

One said that they have to be very gentle when holding my hand and mustn't hold it too tightly.

(as if I were very fragile)

He was so thoughtful and careful.

Don't hold it too tightly.

He also said to the people in front of him and next to him.

"Please make way"

This is a phrase that I often hear our Tzu Cheng members say

(And this boy has learned to do the same)because be has made the wish to become.

(a Tzu Cheng when he grows up)

That's why he was very mindful and told people to clear a path for me.

He also instructed another person to help clear a walkway for me.

Look at the way he conducted the tour and the way he tried to protect me.

He was really mindful and attentive.

Where are we going next?

We're going to the library.

This is where we have our reading class every week.

We sit here and go over there to choose the books that we want to read.

After class, we can come here to read Grand-master. Please come this way.

This is the world geography section.

Please make way.

There's more in the front

"Let us through please" he said.

We need to keep on walking.

After going through one section, he'll tell people to make way.

He said to clear a walkway.

Here….

Because Enterovirus is going around the books need to be disinfected so that the books we borrow will be clean and safe.

The books there are categorized.

You can go there to see what kind of books you want to read.

There are the instructions for how to sort out the library books.

"Grand-master"

"please continue this way" they said.

When we went into the library, he explained.

What kind of books the school had and what language the books were in.

He explained all this to us.

See, good education needs to start at a young age.

It's like planting a seed.

We first plant the seed.

Then we need to give it fertilizer and water.

With the right amount of sunlight and a good environment, the seed will germinate and grow.

"Grand-master, let's go to the Buddha Hall

Let's go there.

Grand-master, that's our science room.

We can do experiments in there.

This is the science room.

Most students like to come to the library.

I transferred to this school this year.

Just this year?

When the school term just started.

Really.

We can use this in English class.

We use the microphone to speak to the teacher.

In English class we can play games with each other.

(You're such fortunate kids)

We come here for our English class.

(That's so nice)

It makes me want to attend the school, too.

Our educational environment (is also very good)

Indeed, when we enter the campus.

The view that we have (is very beautiful)

The buildings on the left and right are very beautiful.

In their beauty, they speak to us.

Immersed in this kind of environment, I believe children will

(learn well). Even though the adolescents today are not very well-behaved.

We should teach them what's right.

We should think of the future and realize that if we only take good care of our children and only teach our own children well while all the other children go bad.

(when our children grow up)they will not be safe in such a future society.

Therefore if teachers can teach and take good care of other people's children it will benefit their own children by creating a better future society.

So, a loving teacher sets an example for students to learn from

In today's Taiwan, there are plenty of schools.

(The reason we've opened a school of our own)is because we seek a higher standard of education.

So, we've built a school and we invite all people who share our vision to join us---

People who are truly dedicated to the cause of education who approach it with a sense of mission.

We hope that teachers who are passionate about education can join us in working toward making our school into a model school.

I really hope that our school can also influence other teachers and schools so that all educators can have higher ideals toward education and we can restore the tradition of respect for teachers and what they teach.

Living in Taiwan, we have things very good.

We've already had sixty years of peace & stability.

It is a remarkable and precious thing.

(Taiwan was, at different times,)

(occupied by different powers)

Then, following the two world wars we've been able to have 60 years of peace and stability.

But during these six decades people in Taiwan had it so good that they don't count their blessings.

Instead, their attention is taken by the disorderly and fractious parts of our society.

Our society ahs truly lost sight of the basic human principles of morality and ethics.

So, instilling in students the proper principles and values has become an arduous challenge.

Faculty and staff in our schools, we need to establish, our unique way of education of teaching students with love out of our commitment to the cause of education.

Do you understand?

We're not out to compete with other schools.

It's for the sake of education.

I'm concerned about our education today.

Education is the future of society.

So, we need to provide true, quality education.

I believe that (you faculty and staff of our schools) really are committed to the cause of education.

I am truly grateful that all of you are united in working for this ideal.

Grand-master, we love you.

I love you all, too.
