The Seeds of Great Love flourishing in New Zealand
In 1997, Tzu Chi NZ raised funds to build a “Language Centre” at Glendowie College to help immigrants ease their way into the New Zealand education system.
Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation is a non-profit, non-governmental, charitable organization founded in Hualien, Taiwan by Dharma Master Cheng Yen in 1966.
From 1991 to 2000, Taiwan immigrants began helping out in local communities in Auckland and Hamilton. From covering medical costs of the poor at Pukekohe Hospital, raising funds for a language centre for Glendowie College to assisting Somerville Intermediate with Information and Communication Technology (ICT) facilities, Tzu Chi New Zealand formed strong relationships with both local and Taiwanese immigrant communities.
Under the blessings of Master Cheng Yen, Tzu Chi Foundation New Zealand was officially established on 1st April 2000 in Auckland with a liaison office in Hamilton.
From then to now, with local presence in Auckland, Hamilton and Christchurch, Tzu Chi volunteers in New Zealand will continue to cultivate and sow seeds of blessing, giving back to this land that many volunteers now call home.
