class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In June 2022, Tzu Chi volunteers in Taoyuan, northern Taiwan, launched the Loving Store campaign, actively reaching out to shops and businesses and encouraging them to place coin banks in their establishments. These coin banks serve as a platform for store owners or customers to contribute spare change to be used for charitable purposes. Once the coin banks are filled, volunteers are notified to collect the donations. Close to 300 stores participated in the first month alone. Over the past year, the number of participating stores has grown to more than 1,100.<\/p><p>I am a volunteer in Taoyuan and help promote the campaign. I distinctly remember that before we started, I heard Dharma Master Cheng Yen speak about the prevalence of negative actions in the world. Her comments left me feeling unsettled and disheartened. I couldn\u2019t help but wonder: \u201cIf what the Master said is true, then it seems like we\u2019re running out of time&#8230;.\u201d But her words were also a call to action and reinforced the urgency for us to intensify our efforts to propagate kindness and positivity in the world.<\/p><p>One day, I arrived at a store for the campaign. Before going in, I caught sight of an employee sweeping the floor. She wore a very solemn expression. Immediately, doubts started to cloud my mind. \u201cIf I go in now, she will surely refuse.\u201d I hesitated, unsure of what to do next.<\/p><p>In the next moment, I urged myself not to let any self-imposed limitations hinder my actions. With determination, I entered the store and confidently spoke the first phrase that I always used whenever I approached a business to invite them to join the campaign: \u201cHello, I\u2019m a Tzu Chi volunteer, and we\u2019re promoting our Loving Store campaign. Would it be possible to have a coin bank placed here? It presents an opportunity for everyone to contribute their love to those in need by simply donating their spare change.\u201d<\/p><p>The woman, in her 50s, instantly displayed a friendly demeanor. \u201cOh, alright,\u201d she said. She graciously allowed me to position the coin bank in a prominent spot near the cash register. As our conversation unfolded, I discovered that she had been a donating member of Tzu Chi in her younger years. My eyes widened in surprise. Seizing the opportunity, I invited her to rejoin Tzu Chi. \u201cSure, why not?\u201d she promptly agreed. And just like that, we welcomed back a member from 30 years before, adding another force of goodness to Tzu Chi.<\/p><p>There was also a steamed bun shop whose owner had temporarily halted donations to Tzu Chi after relocating his shop. However, upon joining the Loving Store campaign this time, he re-enrolled his wife and son as Tzu Chi donating members.<\/p><p>A breakfast shop owner initially had concerns about the campaign, fearing the possibility of being deceived. After depositing ten Taiwanese dollars (US$0.33) in a coin bank, she told volunteer Zheng Wen-zhang (\u912d\u6587\u7ae0), who had visited her shop to encourage her to join, that she no longer wished to participate. A few days later, Zheng revisited the shop to deliver the receipt for the ten-dollar donation. The owner\u2019s delight upon seeing the receipt sparked a change of heart, and she decided to join the campaign after all. Zheng said, \u201cIn reality, everyone has a kind heart.\u201d He further elucidated the campaign\u2019s essence: \u201cAlthough individual contributions may be small, what truly matters is the accumulation of everyone\u2019s good intentions.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ce579c1 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ce579c1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-35491466\" data-id=\"35491466\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-454afcf2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"454afcf2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.8.1 - 13-11-2022 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/07\/\u651d\u5f71_\u674e\u660e\u97022.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/07\/\u651d\u5f71_\u674e\u660e\u97022.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/07\/\u651d\u5f71_\u674e\u660e\u97022-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/07\/\u651d\u5f71_\u674e\u660e\u97022-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/07\/\u651d\u5f71_\u674e\u660e\u97022-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/07\/\u651d\u5f71_\u674e\u660e\u97022-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/07\/\u651d\u5f71_\u674e\u660e\u97022-330x220.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a25f423 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6a25f423\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In November last year, Zheng Wen-zhang (right) made his third visit to the coffee shop owned by his daughter and son-in-law to collect a coin bank filled with spare change.

However, she could still walk, so she enlisted three other volunteers to accompany her in approaching shops for the campaign. They started with a breakfast shop located at an alley entrance. Upon reaching the shop, she said to the owner, \u201cPlease consider placing the coin bank in your store, allowing customers to contribute spare change to support the underserved. This act will enable them to cultivate blessings, as doing good deeds for others is a way to bless oneself as well as others.\u201d The shop owner was delighted by the proposition and agreed to join. Six or seven out of every ten shops they visited decided to join.<\/p><p>Zhang Yue-li (\u5f35\u6708\u91cc), another volunteer for the campaign, rode her motor scooter to seek out shop owners she was acquainted with for recruitment. As time went on, she extended her efforts to unfamiliar ones as well. Witnessing the warm reception she received from everyone, she felt joyful, saying, \u201cPerforming acts of kindness is not solely my aspiration; it turns out that many others share the same desire.\u201d Clothing store owner You Yu-min (\u6e38\u7389\u9594) echoed this sentiment, remarking, \u201cAlthough depositing spare change in a coin bank may seem a simple action, it has the power to ignite a sense of warmth in those who receive help. When customers express their willingness to donate, I always respond with a smile.\u201d<\/p><p>Volunteer Zheng Wen-zhang said that many young people who run their own businesses gladly embraced the idea of doing good together and joined the campaign. \u201cAs long as we are willing to reach out and extend invitations,\u201d he remarked, \u201cit is not as difficult as we might have initially thought.\u201d<\/p><p>Chen Jing (\u9673\u975c), a young volunteer responsible for the graphic design of this campaign, often sees shops on the street with Loving Store stickers\u00a0 on display or that have coin banks placed on their counters. \u201cI deeply appreciate the dedication of our volunteers,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s all thanks to their efforts that over a thousand stores have come together in this endeavor.\u201d<\/p><p>On December 19, 2022, when the Taoyuan Loving Store team met with Dharma Master Cheng Yen, the Master mentioned that when shop owners allow us to place coin banks, it creates good affinities and gives us an opportunity to highlight the inherent goodness in people. It also allows us to share the humble origins of our foundation, about how Tzu Chi started with 30 housewives each saving a little of their grocery money in bamboo coin banks every day to help the needy. By understanding the profound impact of small acts of kindness when combined, others might also be inspired to become a force for good.<\/p><p>The volunteers who have visited stores to recruit participants for the campaign have experienced both moments of joy and setbacks. However, they quickly tell themselves not to be discouraged and that there are still many compassionate people waiting for them to extend an invitation. They recruit wherever they go, aiming to spread love and goodwill as extensively as possible.
