"The heart of the Buddha, the commitment of the Master" is a phrase by which Master Cheng Yen exhorts her followers to take the Buddha's heart as their own heart and the Master's com-mitment as their own commitment, so that they may unwaveringly advance on the path of Tzu Chi.
Master Cheng Yen explains that "the heart of the Buddha" refers to the compassion with which we study his teachings. "The commitment of the Master" is the commitment that Master Cheng Yen made to liberate all living beings from the cycle of reincarnation.
