Description

The Birth of Tzu Chi examines the foundational period of one of Asia's most influential charitable organisations, tracing its establishment from 1966 to 1978. This scholarly work, published by Routledge as part of their Studies in Asian Religion and Philosophy series, provides an in-depth exploration of how Tzu Chi emerged as a transformative social and humanitarian movement. The book combines historical analysis with sociological insight to illuminate the circumstances, leaders, and philosophical foundations that shaped the organisation's early years. Readers interested in Asian religions, social movements, charitable work, and the intersection of spirituality and community activism will find this volume essential for understanding how grassroots initiatives develop into major institutional forces. The study bridges academic rigour with accessible narrative, making it valuable for scholars, students, and anyone seeking to understand the origins of contemporary Asian philanthropy and social engagement.
