The compassionate hearts of the Li Ka Shing couple

 李嘉诚夫妇的慈悲喜舍心

  Mr. and Mrs. Li Ka-shing are known to be great philanthropists and Buddhist monks, their accumulation of good deeds for the benefit of society is admirable, their donations have accumulated more than HK$5 billion, their merits are incalculable and their actions are exemplary .....

                          ---- Zhuge Changqing

  At the same time, he believed that helping the helpless was the most meaningful thing in the world, and that education and health care were the cornerstones of national prosperity. In his early years, as his career progressed and he was able to do more, he supported education and healthcare in the Mainland and Hong Kong. In 1980, the Li Ka Shing Foundation was established to provide more systematic support for education, healthcare, culture and public welfare. Over the years, donations have accumulated to more than HK$5 billion, of which about 70% has been co-ordinated through the Li Ka Shing Foundation and the remaining 30% has been donated by his group of companies under the impetus of Mr Li.

　　Mr Li is the richest man in Hong Kong and one of the top 10 most influential people in the world. He controls the economic lifeblood of Hong Kong; operates the world's largest port; has a monopoly on power transmission lines to mainland China; enjoys a reputation as a top property developer and retailer; and holds the title of the largest mobile phone operator ...... He is probably one of the few giants of the Hong Kong market to have come from a poor background and one of the few evergreens in the market and a leader who has succeeded in all areas and at all levels of management.

　　Mr. and Mrs. Li Ka-shing were known to be great philanthropists and Buddhist monks.

He donated over HK$30 million to establish the Li Ka Shing Care and Attention Home, which is a large and well-equipped home covering an area of about 1,500 square metres and can accommodate several hundred elderly people for nursing and hospice care. During the construction of the home, Mr Li appointed senior staff, programme managers, office managers and senior secretaries from the Li Ka Shing Foundation to work on the project, so that the home was opened within a short period of time and many elderly people were able to spend their twilight years in the home.

　　Mr. Li has also planted a wide range of blessings in Hong Kong and the Mainland, often donating hundreds of millions of dollars to build statues, temples, bridges and roads, education, medical care, research, culture and disaster relief, among other charitable donations. Mr. Lee is a great benefactor of the world's largest Buddha in Hong Kong.

　　His wife was also a devout believer in Buddhism, and her last will and testament was to follow the Buddhist system.

　　Please remember Mr. Lee's motto: "To be able to contribute to society while I am able, and to seek and build a better life for the helpless, is very meaningful and a lifelong vocation."

　　Mr Lee's wealthy Buddhist family is representative of those in Hong Kong and Taiwan. They are convinced of the three worlds of karma and the intrinsic and necessary link between giving and wealth, and know that the spirit and demeanour of compassion and joy are characteristic of the Buddha. It has also been proven that this is the only way to have the right time, the right place and the right people; the only way for business to flourish and for society to be peaceful.

李嘉诚夫妇是众所周知大慈善家和学佛居士，他们积善行的造福社会，令人敬佩，捐款累积逾港币50亿元，他们的功德不可计算，他们的行为堪为师表.....

                          ---- 诸葛长青

  李嘉诚先生少年经历忧患，12岁便辍学到社会谋生， 深深体会健康和知识的重要，同时认为对无助的人给予帮助是世上最有意义的事情，教育及医疗两者更是国家富强之本，他也认识到个人力量到底有限，惟有事业成功，才能对社会和国家作更大的贡献。故早年随着事业进展、行有余力的时候，便热心公益，支持内地及本港的教育医疗事业。于1980年，成立李嘉诚基金会，藉以对教育、医疗、文化、公益事业作更有系统的资助。历年来，捐款累积逾港币50亿元，其中约占70%透过李嘉诚基金会统筹资助，其余30%则在李先生推动下由旗下企业集团捐出。
　　李嘉诚先生是香港首富，也全球最有影响力的十大富豪之一。他掌控着香港的经济命脉；经营世界上最大的港口；垄断着面向中国内地的输电线；享有着来自顶级地产商和零售商的美誉；以及拥有着最大的移动手机运营商的头衔……他大概是香港市场诸巨人中少有的出身贫寒者，少有的长青树，在市场和管理的各个领域和各个层面都成功过的佼佼者。
　　事业辉煌的李嘉诚夫妇是众所周知大慈善家和学佛居士。

他曾捐资三千几百万港币建立“李嘉诚护理安老院”，该院规模宏大，设备齐全，占地约一千五百平方米，可收容几百名老人在此接受护理和安养。在该院建设过程中，李先生特委派李嘉诚基金会的高级职员、计划经理、办公室经理、高级秘书等专职筹划，使该院在短时间内建成启用，许多老人在此安度晚年。
　　李先生在香港和内地也广种福田，常常捐助上亿元的巨资，用来做造佛像、修寺庙、造桥铺路、兴办教育、支援医疗、赞助科研、弘扬文化、赈济灾民等等慈善布施。号称世界第一的香港大佛，李先生是一大功德主。
　　他的夫人也虔诚信佛，临终遗嘱，后事按佛制办理，李先生及家人一一遵嘱，助其往生。
　　请记住李先生的座右铭：“人生在世，能够在自己能力所逮的时候，对社会有所贡献，同时为无助的人寻求及建立较好的生活，我会感到很有意义，并视此为终生不渝的职志。”
　　李先生的富豪佛教家庭，在港台地区有一定的代表性。他们深信三世因果，深信布施和富贵的内在必然联系，深知慈悲喜舍的精神和举止是佛菩萨的特色。事实也证明，唯有如此，才能得天时、地利、人和；唯有如此，事业才能兴旺，社会才会祥和。
