📍 TIMA 2026 | Day 4: A Day of Gratitude at the Jing Si Abode
After the convention, our partners Erica Tamblyn and Gloria Antall stayed on for a full day at the Jing Si Abode, the place where Tzu Chi began. Master De Di guided them in English through the Abode's story, and along the way, we ran into our Tzu Chi family from Eswatini once again. It is a big world, yet Tzu Chi keeps bringing us back together.
At the soap workshop, we picked fresh rosemary and learned how simple plants become part of everyday life. Long after we left the soap workshop, our hands still smelled of rosemary. 🌿 Out in the fields, the masters bent over rows of vegetables. Here, "a day without work is a day without food" is not a slogan. It is simply how they live.
In the afternoon, tea with the masters turned into more than an hour of heartfelt conversation about caring for people experiencing homelessness, the work at the heart of All Saints' ministry. Two faiths, one shared language: gratitude, respect, and love. 💙
Thank you, Sister Ya-Chi Mo, for planning such a meaningful day. 🙏
📍 TIMA 2026 系列追蹤｜Day 4：精舍巡禮・感恩的一天
離開淨皂廠許久，指尖的迷迭香香氣，依然沒有散去。🌿
人醫會圓滿後，合作夥伴 Erica Tamblyn 與 Gloria Antall 留下一整天，走進慈濟的心靈故鄉：靜思精舍。德迪師父以英文娓娓道來精舍的故事；途中，又與史瓦帝尼的慈濟家人再次相逢。世界很大，慈濟的緣卻總讓人一再重逢。
淨皂廠裡，大家親手摘下迷迭香，看見一片葉子如何走進日常生活；農田間，師父們彎腰耕作。「一日不做，一日不食」，在這裡不是口號，而是日日身體力行的生活。
午後一杯茶，與師父們一聊就是一個多小時，談的是諸聖教會長年投入的街友關懷。宗教不同，說的卻是同一種語言：感恩、尊重、愛。💙
感恩莫雅淇師姊用心安排這充實的一天。🙏
