The Tzu Ching Anthem

The Tzu Ching Anthem is a musical celebration of the hopes and aspirations that the Tzu Ching represent as the generation that will inherit the future of the world and Tzu Chi. It is most often performed at more formal gatherings, such as intercollegiate socials, Tzu Ching leadership conferences, and Graduation. The music and lyrics of the Tzu Ching Anthem was composed by 周元. The Chinese and original version of the Tzu Ching Anthem has been traditionally performed.

However, during the 2014 US TCCA Leadership Conference in New Jersey the English Translation Team released the official English lyrics for the Tzu Ching Anthem and has been performed at orientation by the Austin TCCA, and can be expected to debut in the UC San Diego chapter in the near future.

Performance
The Tzu Ching Anthem begins with a long instrumental sequence, which is accompanied by (ideally) 30 even, rhythmic claps with the audience. The song along with the sign language is performed, and during a shorter instrumental break some aphorisms are spoken along with some more sign language. The song then repeats from the beginning and concludes.

The performance of the Tzu Ching Anthem in English likewise begins with a series of rhythmic claps; however during the middle instrumental break, aphorisms are exchanged for clapping or other interactions with the audience.
