Tzu Chi's Still Thought Hall and Still Thought Abode

Tzu Chi represents one of Taiwan's four major Buddhist sects, and its Still Thought Hall, located on Chongyang Road in Hualien City, includes a medical center, a temple, and a university. The temple is a Tang Dynasty-style three-tiered flying eaves structure, with classic corridors, round pillars, and a solemn atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Tzu Chi's Still Thought Abode is located in Chinan Village in Shoufeng Township. It is a simple white-walled, gray-tiled building. This is the cradle of the Tzu Chi sect, and contains displays that offer a window into an understanding of Tzu Chi.

Together, the two structures constitute a center of Tzu Chi Buddhist faith. If you want to relieve yourself of worldly concerns and purify your spirit, these are the places to go.
