Tzu Chi's Mission of Humanistic Culture operates on the principle of seeking the ideals of truth, beauty, and goodness, and aims to bear witness to the spirit of human goodness in history. The Mission continues to propagate humanistic values through a variety of media channels. We are looking for creative and dedicated collaborators to join our dynamic team!
