In 1991, the Office of Humanities was officially established, and is considered to be the first of its kind. The spirit of humanities is the basis of social harmony. Chinese tradition upholds the spirit of kindness amongst people, and the best way to express loving-kindness is to relieve people from their suffering, and help them when they are in need.

Master Cheng Yen, founder of the school, once said, “Good doctors are living Buddhas, and good nurses are Bodhisattvas.” Medical personnel must practice loving kindness, and always attend to patients’ needs. The school was first founded as a Nursing College in 1989, with aim to empower students with Tzu Chi humanities spirit,
