Overview
The Tzu Chi Collegiate Youth Association was formed by a group of aspiring tertiary students (a.k.a. Tzu Ching) in Taiwan, and is currently established globally. When the association was first formed, Master Cheng Yen had three points of advice to the youths: firstly, do Tzu Chi’s work during spare time; secondly, cultivate a heart of compassion for people; thirdly, learn to get along with different types of people. The Tzu Chi Collegiate Youth Association in Singapore was established in 1996. Presently, it has members from the National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore Management University (SMU) as well as students from various polytechnics, etc.
