When I say it, I'm an "economy-ruining, out-of-touch, wannabe hippie", (OK, no one actually said that, but none of the papers and magazines I write for would go near my proposal for an atricle on "litter picking, public service, and the Buddhist goal of 'no self'")
but when Tzu Chi says it, it makes the papers:
Buddhists unveil 'Enrich with Simplicity' project
To combat the depressed economy — and possibly climate change as well — the Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation yesterday unveiled an exhibition and workshop, calling on people to enrich their lives by turning waste into reusable resources.
... Tzu Chi spiritual leader Master Cheng Yen (證嚴法師) has told her followers that living a simple lifestyle is the best way to get through the current economic crisis.
... On top of saving money, the practices also advance environmental protection, which is also an important part of the foundation’s mission.
I suppose I should be happy. Actually, I'm not a big TC fan, but at least this is better than old "There-are-no-Taiwanese-in-Taiwan" Master Hsing Yun.
