Announcement – Working Together to Mitigate Disasters
In response to the government's Movement Control Order as well as the announcement by the Registrar of Societies Malaysia, all Tzu Chi premises in Malaysia, including the Jing Si Halls, offices, community centres and recycling centres, will be temporarily closed from March 18 to March 31. Tzu-Chi Dialysis Centres and Tzu-Chi Free Clinics in Kuala Lumpur and Klang however, will operate as usual. Tzu Chi’s relief work will also go on. You may contact any Tzu Chi chapters should there be an urgent request for help.
Our founder, Master Cheng Yen has advised that while viruses are dreadful, yet if we are vigilant, take good care of health by observing a meatless diet, and remain composed, we will have wisdom to combat the spread of this virus. When we treat all lives with gratitude, respect and love, we will sow blessings; and when everyone’s sincere prayers come together, a powerful force of blessings will be created.
Statistics compiled by the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) show that in 2018
- 2,443 animals were slaughtered for food around the world every second (not including marine life)
- More than 210 million animals were killed for food daily, and that came out to 77 billion yearly.
If we could curb our desires for meat, we could reduce the chances of being infected by zoonotic diseases, and bring peace to the world.
