Founded in 1966, the Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation is a leading humanitarian organization with a worldwide base of more than 5 million supporters and volunteers. Tzu means "compassion" and Chi means "relief". The organization has chapters in 47 countries on six continents, which carry out the missions of Charity, Medicine, Education, and Humanistic Culture, and delivered aid to 67 countries, to date. Today in Taiwan, there are six Tzu Chi hospitals: four large teaching hospitals (in Hualien, Dalin, Taipei, and Taichung), and two small community hospitals (in Kuanshan and Yuli). Tzu Chi has established in Taiwan a comprehensive educational system from pre-school to graduate school, including Tzu Chi University (housing now a leading medical school in Taiwan) and operates Da Ai (Great Love) TV, a global satellite television station that runs in part on proceeds from its on-going recycling program.
