The current challenge of the wave of declining birthrate has given Fo guang University encouragement and support. Fo guang University President Ho ZheFei led the first- and second-level supervisors in the school to participate, bearing in mind Master Ci Hui’s earnest teachings.
First of all, Master Hui started with the Fo Guang University land. "This is not an ordinary hillside land." It is very difficult to develop preparatory work because it is a hillside land. Only 15 hectares of 58 hectares of land can be used for construction. Master Hsing Yun considered Yilan In the event of typhoons and earthquakes, the safety of hillside areas is even more important. Slope engineering and drainage engineering must be completed. The engineering cost of opening a school is very high. At first, everyone said he was a fool, but Master Hsing Yun has the cultivation and wisdom of Buddhism. In order to allow every student who comes to Fo GuangUniversity to study here with peace of mind, he led everyone to do it without fear of difficulties, that is, to Run a university.
When Fo Guang University was founded, Master Hsing Yun was determined to build an exquisite university based on "humanistic spirit". He hoped that teachers and students would develop a master-student relationship, where students would not only pursue knowledge, but also build a shared relationship between teachers and students. In life, learn how to treat others and develop noble moral sentiments, hoping to cultivate the next generation with both good conduct and academics for the country and society.
It has been 24 years since the school was founded. Faced with the current dilemma of low birthrate, Master Cihui also used his own experience in running a school to encourage teachers at Fo guang University. He said that since the establishment of Yilan Ciai Kindergarten, he has been going through the cycle of enrollment, and there has not been a day. Don’t worry about admissions. He also shared the difficulty and touching experience of raising funds to start a school. Since Fo Guang Shan was founded, it has gone through many economic crises, but Fo Guang Shan’s fundraising of one hundred yuan is very stable. One hundred yuan may seem like nothing, but one hundred yuan is very stable. Chuan is amazing, and this also tells everyone that everyone can do it as long as they are determined!
Fo Guang Shan has gone from having nothing to having everything. It has established seven systematic schools around the world. We hope that the teachers at Fo Guang University will uphold the educational spirit of Master Hsing Yun. Facing the current low birthrate, there will certainly be difficulties, but with Buddhism there are ways. I believe everyone can break through the difficulties and become a model for private universities.
