        try(BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(link)))
        {
            String line;
            while((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                ta1.setText(line);

you are resetting your TextArea text by the latest line read from your file. While your need is to append all the lines read and show them.

while((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
      ta1.append(line);
}
