Welcome to IBC TV Foundation

 International Buddhist Culture TV Foundation (IBC TV Foundation) was established as a non-profit organization in 1997. IBCTVF is incorporated in the State of Washington in the USA. IBCTVF promotes Zen Buddhist teaching and promotes cultural understanding through the media and public communication. 

 Frances Liao Goldman is the founding person of IBC TV Foundation. She ran a media business since 1994. During the media business, she saw so many negative messages that fill today's media. And the media is one of large way to influence human's daily life, especially our young generation's behaviors. This situation really affects our society and our world where we live. So, she believe that we all need to care about tomorrow's TV today! Start from now.

Frances was born into a Buddhist family; she followed her Mom to be compassionate with all sentient beings and to be a vegetarian since she was young. And follow the three principle teaching of Buddhism. Which is Compassion Wisdom and Eqality. Those three important elements are the best value and is the great positive message to share with our society.

Frances also helped one of main charity organization to do social work as commisioner for 6 years. She like to helped people whoever need to help. In that time, she was paying full attention to do the charity work. However, In her mind she always wondered if something still missing....

No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings......

In 1996 she started to put Buddhist educational programs into her cable TV program, in Seattle area for 2 hour a week, it got many audience calls to say "Thank you and hope see more Buddhist programs in this modern technology life". She wishes that she can contribute more air time to run the program, to help many people obtain this great and peaceful and powerful message. She thought would be great if she has more source from public instead just 2 hour air time that she can contributed. Shousand hand always will make big diferent than 2 hand.

To give some one a tool that can benifit forever......

 Until one day in 1997 she took a special trip to Taiwan to visit the great Zen master Wei-Chueh (Founding master of Chung Tai Chan Monastery). Grand Master is so compassionate guiding her into the Zen treasury and encourage her to establish a TV foundation. Open a door to allow anyone who like to support to spread the dharma message. Frances is practicing Zen meditation since then (year 1997). She deeply appreciates the grand master Wei Chueh's great  teaching. And hope all beings understand the treasury of Buddhist teaching.

This is the causality of the IBC TV Foundation established in 1997. The mission of IBC TV Foundation is to spread Zen message through media and public communication.

The Buddhist principal teaching is compassion and wisdom and equality. To practice compassion, wisdom and equality and practice meditation are very important elements in our daily life.

Compassion -  "Compassion is the best medicine to increase human immune system." - Grand Master Wei-Chueh - Founder of Chung Tai Zen Monastery

Wisdom - Every one has wisdom, and can discover it through Zen meditation practice. Wisdom helps us understand causality and face the reality.

Equality - To be able to love every one as our family. No criticism and no comparison. Do not harm our self; don't harm others; receive no harm. 

 

" Do not be happy when others praise us; do not be annoyed when others blame us. Having no notioss of self, others, sentient beings, and lifespan, one will soon realize the Way.   ~~~ Words of Wisdom from zen master Wei Chueh~~~
