This is the first comprehensive sociological study of a new Chinese Buddhist movement, known as Tzu Chi (otherwise, the Buddhist Compassion Merit Society). Based in Taiwan, it was founded in 1966 and is still led by a female Buddhist master - Master Cheng Yen. Its members are laity and its main focus is medical charity and education of the wealthy in an ethical way of life.
