Urban spaces and the practice of religion are highly transnational, and many of their related processes are conceptualized as parts or consequences of the phenomenon of globalization, especially as they are linked to international migration. In this chapter, I am interested in looking at the way in which the Tzu Chi organization and its members use social media to construct a sacred virtual space that connects them globally.enBook Chapter
