2026 浴佛節

2026 浴佛節 Buddha Birthday Celebration 

來自紅十字John Earthy的感動

Dear Jennifer, 

I am so deeply moved and profoundly thankful to you for being in my life, and the enduring embrace of Tzu Chi that you have shared with me. That speaks to the years we have gotten to know and partner with each other in caring service for our organization's purposes and missions, and for the care and wellbeing of each other as we do so.

Today has been a deeply, deeply moving experience for me. The Tzu Chi 60th Anniversary Celebration was so deeply impactful for me in so many meaningful ways, touching the very soul of who I am. I am still, and will continue to be deeply moved and seeking to fully understand and appreciate the impact and meaning.  

The Tzu Chi Buddhist Foundation 60th Anniversary Celebration today was one of the most moving, deeply impactful experiences of my life, for each of the shares above, and for the outstanding positive spiritual, mental and emotional impacts of every moment I experienced today. The tears streaming down my cheeks during the Ceremony but one example. The generous other gifts, especially the gift you gave me from the Master, and the flowers for my wife Celina I am also most humbled by and grateful for.

Thank you Jennifer, thank you Tzu Chi, 🙏

親愛的 Jennifer，

我內心充滿深深的感動與無限的感恩，感謝妳出現在我的生命中，也感謝妳一直以來與我分享慈濟長久而溫暖的懷抱。這份情誼，見證了這些年來我們彼此認識、攜手合作，以關懷與服務共同實踐彼此機構的使命，也在過程中互相關心、彼此照顧。

今天對我而言，是一段極其深刻且令人動容的經歷。慈濟六十週年慶典，在許多層面都深深觸動了我，觸及我靈魂最深處。我至今仍沉浸在那份感動之中，也將繼續細細體會與理解其中帶給我的深遠意義。

今天的慈濟佛教基金會六十週年慶典，是我人生中最感人、最深具影響力的經歷之一。無論是以上所分享的一切，還有今天每一個片刻所帶給我的精神、心靈與情感上的正向力量，都讓我深受震撼。典禮中淚流滿面，便是其中最真實的寫照。還有其他滿載心意的禮物，尤其是妳代替上人送給我的禮物，以及送給我太太 Celina 的花束，都讓我感到無比感恩與受寵若驚。

謝謝妳，Jennifer，謝謝慈濟。🙏

John
