The Tzu Chi Foundation held a Buddha Bathing Ceremony at the Hsinchu Jing Si Hall on the morning of the 11th. Wang Ming-Yong, a 55-year-old general manager from Hsinchu Science Park, tearfully recalled his late mother during the ceremony. Diagnosed with terminal bone cancer at 40 and given only two months to live, he resolved to adopt a vegetarian diet, chant Buddhist scriptures, and follow his mother’s teachings to do good deeds. Now, 15 years later, he cherishes each day as a blessing, filled with gratitude.
Yesterday’s Buddha Bathing Ceremony saw the Tzu Chi Foundation inviting people from all walks of life to participate, expressing gratitude for "the grace of the Buddha, parents, and all sentient beings." Attendees included Lin Cheng-Tse, Chairman of the Taiwan Provincial Government, and Hsinchu City Mayor Hsu Ming-Tsai.
Wang Ming-Yong, general manager of Lustre Technology in Hsinchu Science Park, woke up early to attend the event and shared his life story. At 40, just eight months after his marriage, Wang experienced discomfort and was diagnosed with an 8-centimeter tumor on his spine—terminal bone cancer. Despite three rounds of chemotherapy with no improvement and severe side effects that made even drinking water and breathing painful, he decided to stop treatment after doctors gave him two months to live, advising him to "do what he wanted."
Wang recalled how he encountered Tzu Chi by chance and decided to change his lifestyle. He began a vegetarian diet, chanted the "Medicine Buddha Sutra" daily, and peacefully coexisted with the tumor. Unexpectedly, his health improved, and six months later, he returned to work and even had two children.
Wang gratefully said, "Thank you, tumor," acknowledging that without it, he wouldn’t cherish life or dedicate himself to good deeds as he does now. The cancer gave him a second chance at life. His motto is "Work hard abroad for the economy, return home and work hard for Tzu Chi." He hopes to spend the rest of his life doing good, repaying his mother and heaven’s grace.
