-13- Silent Menter … Great teacher in Anatomy class






“Human life passes in a breath. Our lives are measured in seconds, not in years. By realizing this, we can better appreciate our lives.”
--- Master Cheng Yen---


Anatomy is one of subjects in Medicine Curriculum. Absolutely, we cannot finish Medicine without learning from real human bodies. Both Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University and Tzu Chi University, The cadaver come from body donation, so they are esteemed to be our great teachers to sacrifice themselves for us after passing away.

In Tzu Chi, before the semester that has Anatomy class, a great ceremony is established for sending their gratitude to the silent mentors, the picture of them will be pasted in the Anatomy building along the year, the students must learn about their own silent mentors history (5 students for each cadaver) and present them in the ceremony as well.

And when great teacher’s volition accomplish, when the class finish in each year, some of their ashes will be kept in a worship room.

Though the heaven took them away, their names and virtue still be forever.
