Bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and Tzu Chi’s year-end blessings have arrived as scheduled. On February 7, hundreds of great virtues came to the Tzu Chi Phoenix Liaison Office to listen to the Master’s teachings and blessings, and took home adopted piggy banks and small bamboo tubes.

Distributing red envelopes of blessing and wisdom is the most anticipated moment of every event for the great virtues. Every red envelope is filled with the Master’s immeasurable gratitude and blessings. The Master hopes that all people in the world will promote environmental protection and promote humanities. Although the Master could not be present to give blessings in person, the brothers and sisters of Tzu Chi distributed the red envelopes on his behalf.
