1. 南瑪都屏東 Pingtung County inundated

Before it headed to China”s Fujian Province, Typhoon Nanmadol lashed south and southeastern Taiwan with heavy rain. Pingtung County was among the hardest hit areas, with roads on the outskirts of both Linbian(林邊) and Jiadong(佳冬) temporarily submerged, until the flood water could be pumped out. Tzu Chi volunteers stocked up on provisions for the coastal communities of Xinyuan(新園) and Donggang, ready to deliver food and supplies to those trapped by the deluge.

目前前往中國福建的南瑪都颱風，為台灣東南部帶來極大的雨量，屏東縣災情較為嚴重，林邊及佳冬兩地周邊產業道路一度積水，道路封閉，直到抽水完成，積水消退。慈濟人也在屏東新園及東港準備了防災物資，一旦有淹水災情，物資隨即就會送往災區。


2. 南瑪都台東 Recovery work after Nanmadol

More than 3,000 houses in Taiwan lost power when Typhoon Nanmadol made landfall, in Taitung County. Torrential rain also caused landslides, that blocked parts of Provincial Highway No. 9. A cleanup was conducted after the storm weakened, and the 1,200 people, who were evacuated to safety, will be going back to their homes when the rain lets up.

南瑪都颱風登陸台灣台東，當時造成三千多戶停電，其中在台九線更傳出土石坍方、道路封閉，落石坍方工程人員在風勢減弱後出動清除，而這一次颱風撤離的一千兩百多人，將視雨量評估陸續返家。


3. 南瑪都恆春 Hot food for disaster victims

In the southern tip of Taiwan, a few roads in Hengchun are still flooded, and eight bridges in the area were brought down by the Typhoon Nanmadol. A total of 1,914 people in Pingtung county were evacuated. Tzu Chi volunteers thoughtfully prepared hot food for residents who were too busy cleaning up their flood-damaged homes to eat.

在南台灣恆春，有些路段依然積水未退，也有八座橋樑因為南瑪都颱風橫掃而封閉，屏東縣一共撤離了1914人，民眾忙著清理家園，慈濟志工則貼心的準備熱食，讓家中淹水的民眾溫飽一餐。


4. 南瑪都美濃 Riverbank homes at risk in Meinong

While shoring up the levee, beside the Meinong River, in south Taiwan, back in May, careless workers caused a landslide, that swept away the backyards of nine homes along the riverbank. The recent heavy rain, brought down by Typhoon Nanmadol, gave the worried residents a sleepless night, as they wondered if the rest of their homes would slide into the river. Our reporter went to Meinong to see how they were coping.

南台灣進行美濃溪防災減災工程的同時，由於五月底施工疏失，造成河堤土段崩落，九間民宅後院大面積崩塌，南瑪都颱風來襲帶來大量雨量，擔心自己的家坍塌，讓居民難以入眠，帶大家到美濃去看看居民如何度過難關。


《 靜思語 》

With a broad and open heart, we will not hurt others. With a simple and pure mind, we will not be hurt by others. ＞

心寬，不傷人；念純，不傷己。


5. 登米市星勉 Aid distribution in Miyagi Prefecture

For three consecutive days in northeast Japan, Tzu Chi”s fourth disaster relief team distributed consolation cash to a total of 2,991 families affected by the March 11 tsunami and earthquake. Before the program ended in the town of Mi-na-mi-san-riku, a 55-year-old local resident, who was helped by volunteers during the distribution, returned to visit caregivers twice with tokens of his appreciation.

慈濟第四梯在日本東北發放三天來，總計發放2991份見舞金給311地震海嘯受災戶，結束在南三陸町發放，一位五十五歲的災民因為感受到志工的關懷，連續兩天到發放現場為志工打氣。


6. 南三陸佐佐木 Cash distribution in NE Japan

At the distribution in Mi-na-mi-san-riku on Saturday, August 27, 1,025 residents received consolation cash in a single day. One 86-year-old woman said the money will help warm up her winter, and her life.

8月27日周六，於宮城縣南三陸町平成之森發放見舞金，總共發放1025戶慰問金，其中86歲獨居的佐佐木阿嬤說，這份慰問金為她的晚年和生活帶來溫暖。


《 衲履足跡 》

On Religions
There are countless people in the world in need of assistance. Love must be delivered to them no matter where they are in the world. It is important to keep an open heart and an open mind, and let go of religious prejudices. One must cultivate devotion instead of being fanatical about to one”s religion. All religions should respect each other.

主題：談宗教
開示：世間有多少苦難人等待救助，要把愛灑向遠方，無論在哪一個地點，都要有開闊的心胸，不因信仰不同而分隔。其實要有宗教的情操，不要有宗教的情結，要彼此尊重。


7. 獨老颱風關懷 Helping against typhoons

Back to Typhoon Nanmadol, and although central Taiwan only saw light rain, local volunteers still made sure elderly residents in particular were prepared. The volunteers knocked on doors, in an old housing community for veterans in Taichung, to check up on the seniors.

還是南瑪都颱風的相關報導，雖然台灣中部地區只有間歇性小雨，不過台中市東區慈濟志工仍舊出外訪視，志工還前往富台街的眷村，為獨居長者送上關懷。


8. 慈濟英士關懷 Food & toiletries for evacuees

After all 200 residents of Yingshi(英士) village in Taiwan”s Yilan county were evacuated on Sunday to escape the typhoon, 51 were housed in the dormitory at the Northern Taiwan Vocational Training Center. Tzu Chi volunteers from the Yilan area arrived the next morning with toiletry bags and sweet rice porridge for villagers sheltering at the center.

宜蘭縣大同鄉英士村，周日因為颱風，二百位村民全數撤離，五十一位村民被安置到北區職訓中心的安置所，慈濟宜蘭區志工隔日一早準備了生活包以及福慧粥，送到安置所。


9. 花收容便當 Bringing food to the needy

As Typhoon Nanmadol headed for China, rain continued to fall in Taiwan. To help those still living in temporary shelters, Tzu Chi volunteers in Hualien prepared vegetarian lunchboxes, and delivered them to a local temple, where residents were staying. Noting that most of the recipients were seniors, the volunteers thoughtfully changed the dishes the next day, to ones easier for the elderly to eat.

雖然南瑪都颱風已經前往中國，在台灣仍然還持續下雨，為了協助住在臨時收容中心的居民，花蓮慈濟志工準備了素食便當，並送到花蓮的五殼宮，看到許多居民都是長者，隔天志工們貼心的換了菜色，讓長者容易咀嚼。


10. 馬開齋茹素 Vegetarian construction workers

Tzu Chi volunteers in Malaysia are surrounding workers at the Jing Si Hall building site in Selangor with love and care. To encourage the construction workers to try a meatless diet, the volunteers prepared a vegetarian dinner for them, complete with Muslim dishes. The feedback from the workers, who are currently observing Ramadan, was quite positive.

馬來西亞雪隆慈濟志工來到靜思堂，關懷建築工人，為了鼓勵靜思堂穆斯林建築工人吃素，特別準備了 穆斯林風味的素食晚餐，對正值齋戒月的工人來說，回應也都相當好。


11. 0831歷史的今天

1996 1st Free clinic at Kinmen
Members of TIMA from the northern district of Taiwan arrived in Kinmen on this day in 1996, to carry out their first free clinic on the off-shore island. Since then, free clinics have become a regular event, and volunteers also work with local hospitals, to improve healthcare services.

1997 Princess Diana dies in crash
On a trip to Paris, France, while avoiding the press, the car carrying Princess Diana and her then-boyfriend Dodi Al-Fayed, crashed inside the Alma tunnel. The People”s Princess died later in the hospital on this day in 1997. The accident raised the issue of media ethics.

2003 Fire in Luzhou
A fire occurred at around 1am after an argument between a couple at their apartment in Luzhou, of the now New Taipei City, on this day in 2003. The blaze took away 13 lives and injured some 69 residents. Tzu Chi volunteers set up a disaster command center, to provide drinks, food and emergency funds for fire victims and their families, as well as to chant for the deceased.

歷史的今天，八月三十一號。1996年，金門離島首次義診。台灣北區慈濟人醫會志工在1996年這一天，首次抵達金門的金沙、烈嶼等離島義診，從此展開離島醫療關懷，也與當地醫院所合作看診，改善當地醫療困境。

1997年，人民王妃戴安娜車禍喪生。英國黛安娜王妃與男友這天乘車經過法國巴黎時，為閃避媒體追蹤，在隧道裡失控發生車禍喪生，黛安娜王妃之後在醫院過世，引發媒體操守與採訪規範的討論。

2003年，蘆洲大囍市火警，志工守望社區。凌晨一點多，在新北市的蘆洲，社區一對夫妻住戶發生口角引火自焚，在2003年這一天造成大樓起火，這場火勢造成13人死亡，69位居民受傷，慈濟志工即時成立救災中心，提供餐點和飲水，關懷傷者，致贈慰問金，也為亡者助念。


12. 四川吳孝珍 70 years young!

Following Tzu Chi”s disaster relief efforts after the Sichuan earthquake of 2008, many local residents began to recycle their garbage. Some of the most energetic volunteers are 70 and over. For example, Wu Xiaozhen(吳孝珍) from Sichuan”s Deyang City, patrols her community in search of recyclables. The 79-year-old has also been a regular attendee of the weekly recycling day at Tzu Chi”s Hanwang Service Center for the past three years. In addition to picking up plastic bottles, the grandmother actively promotes conservation, in hopes that more people can join her in taking care of the earth.

2008年四川大地震之後，湧出許多環保志工，藉此重建家園，其中做得勤快的是許多年過七旬長輩，像是家住四川省德陽市漢旺鎮、七十九歲的吳孝珍，每天到街上尋找回收物，每周還到漢旺服務中心參加大型環保日，三年來從不缺席，她不僅低頭彎腰做環保，也抬頭挺腰說環保，邀請更多人一同疼惜地球，一起來看看她的故事。

Coming up in the show, Typhoon Nanmadol makes its way through Taiwan, with flash rains triggering landslides. The army and volunteers are mobilized to flooded areas to deliver aid. Some 4,000 tsunami affected families in Ofunato City, in Japan”s Iwate Prefecture, receive consolation money, at the latest Tzu Chi distribution. And, as the sign language musical adaptation of the Water Repentance Text saw its final performance in Taiwan, we speak to the production team to understand the level of work that went into the project.

1. 南瑪都台東+恆春+烏日颱風關懷 Typhoon Nanmadol hits island

Typhoon Nanmadol slammed into Dawu(大武) Township, in Taitung, southeast of Taiwan just after 4 o”clock on the morning of August 29th, bringing with it torrential rain and gale force winds. Before the tropical storm made its way north, Tzu Chi had already set up an emergency command center in central Taiwan, to organize and dispatch manpower and supplies where needed. As we went to air, Taiwan”s armed forces were on duty in inundated areas, sealing off damaged roads and rescuing those trapped by the storm. We go to Taitung first, where Typhoon Nanmadol made landfall.

南瑪都颱風8月29日清晨四點多從台東大武登陸，夾帶大風豪雨，在颱風往北走之前，慈濟成立中區合心協調中心，適時調度人力與物資，節目播出的此時，淹水地區軍警消全動員，封閉坍方道路，救出受困民眾，鏡頭先來到台東，也就是南瑪都颱風登陸的地點。


2. 艾琳慈濟 Hurricane Irene hits east coast

While Typhoon Nanmadol was buffeting Taiwan, Hurricane Irene was creating havoc on the east coast of the United States. As the storm approached, US Tzu Chi volunteers kept in close contact with rescue units, and New York Chapter volunteers visited emergency shelters to plan for relief work. Though Irene was downgraded to a tropical storm, in New Jersey some houses were still submerged in water. Local Tzu Chi volunteers mobilized to help flood victims clean up their homes.

南瑪都颱風襲擊台灣的同時，艾琳颶風也重創美國，美國慈濟志工都會與救難單位保持密切聯繫，紐約分會志工更提前前往鄰近的收容中心進行動線演練，雖然當時艾琳已經轉為熱帶風暴，還是有許多居民的房子淹水，而新澤西慈濟志工則是動員人力，準備要協助災民清掃家園。


《 靜思語 》

Interact with our family members with the wisdom of a Bodhisattva; care for the world with the tolerance of a parent.

用菩薩的智慧，看待家人；用父母的包容，關懷天下人。


3. 大船渡市發放 Cash relief in Ofunato

It”s almost half a year after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, and Tzu Chi”s aid to Japan”s disaster areas continues. The latest cash relief distribution took place in Ofunato City of Iwate Prefecture. In two-days, volunteers handed out consolation money to about 4,000 families.

311日本地震發生至今近半年，慈濟日本賑災見舞金的發放工作持續在岩手縣的大船渡市展開，預計二天將發放約四千戶。


4. 南三陸川井 Cash relief in Minamisanriku

Staying on the topic of post-quake relief, but moving to Miyagi Prefecture, the fourth Tzu Chi Japan disaster relief team arrived in Minamisanriku over the weekend to hold a two-day cash distribution. 95 percent of the town was destroyed on March 11th by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami. In two days, 2,430 families received Tzu Chi”s aid. Volunteers were also pleasantly surprised to run into an old friend.

也是地震後的報導，不過鏡頭轉到宮城縣，慈濟東日本賑災第四梯次周末在南三陸町展開兩天的見舞金發放，3月11號9級地震引發的海嘯，毀損了9成5以上的城鎮，2天的發放幫助了2,430 戶家庭，志工也意外的遇到了老朋友。


《 衲履足跡 》

On Preaching Dharma
Focusing on where to preach the dharma, may not help people become enlightened. Instead, it is mort important to discipline oneself spiritually. Do rather than preach. Sincerity from within the heart to serve will have a more profound impact.

主題：談弘法
開示：與其刻意到何處弘法，不一定能使法入心；最重要的是用心充實自己的實力，不只在口頭說法，還要說而能行。出於內心的誠懇，為天下人付出，成果即於無形中成就。


5. 慈悅最末場 Curtain falls on Water Repentance

The musical adaptation of the Water Repentance Text, that took some eight months to produce, concluded in Changhua over the weekend after 24 shows around Taiwan. The production team was made up of less than ten people, none of whom were trained in the art of theater; nonetheless, an unrelenting determination and team spirit ensured a very successful outcome. The stage production was also unique, in that almost every performance had a different set of supporting cast members, who numbered from around 1,000 to just over 2,000. In total, more than 30,000 Tzu Chi volunteers from all over Taiwan served as performers, bringing to life the ancient Buddhist scripture of the Compassionate Samadhi Water Repentance and inspiring hundreds of thousands of viewers all over Taiwan.

法譬如水經藏演繹在8個多月的準備之後，巡迴全台二十四場，在彰化體育館圓滿，企畫團隊包括導演，不到十人，都非舞台藝術專業人員出身，一個堅定的信念以及團隊精神，換來的是場場成功的演繹；法譬如水經藏演繹的特色也在於，幾乎每一場演出都是不一樣的入經藏菩薩，有的場次是一千出頭，有的則是二千多，全台共有三萬多名演繹菩薩參與，讓古老的水懺呈現在當代，感動全台數十萬人。


6. 彰懺拆台 Volunteers dismantle Changhua stage

When the curtain fell on the last performance of Water Repentance in Changhua, and the audience drifted away from the stadium in central Taiwan, a group of Tzu Chi volunteers started working through the night to tidy up the arena, dismantle the stage, lighting and mats, and pack everything up in crates and bags.

彰化水懺演繹圓滿落幕，曲終人散，但慈濟志工不打烊，大家合和互協整理場地，不論舞台、燈光，和地毯的拆卸，或是貨品打包和裝載，全力付出。


7. 彰懺來賓 Good and great in Changhua

The Sunday morning showing of the Buddhist sutra Water Repentance at the Changhua Stadium was performed by Tzu Chi volunteers from Changhua and Nantou. Changhua magistrate Mr. Zhuo Boyuan(卓伯源) and Nantou magistrate Ms. Li Chaoqing(李朝卿) both came to watch the performance. Apart from praising the epic performance, the two thanked Tzu Chi volunteers for their years of community service and care for vulnerable residents.

周日一早，水懺演繹在彰化體育館登場，早上場次由彰化和南投慈濟人承擔，彰化縣長卓伯源和南投縣長李朝卿都特地前來參與，除了讚嘆場面莊嚴，也感恩多年來慈濟人落實社區，關懷弱勢族群。


8. 彰懺大醫王 Water Repentance comes to an end

As Tzu Chi”s Water Repentance musical production came to an end on Sunday, Typhoon Nanmadol was approaching Taiwan. In our next story, we take you to the final show, where cast and audience members came together in a prayer that the typhoon would not seriously damage the island.

慈濟的慈悲三昧水懺手語音樂劇，星期天下午在彰化體育館上演了最後的一場，也正當颱風接近台灣之時，現在帶您前往觀看，演繹人員與觀眾也一起祈禱，南瑪都颱風能快速離開台灣。


9. 歷史的今天 On this day, 30th of August.

1990 The passing of Qian Mu
Known as one of China”s greatest philosophers and historians, Qian Mu passed away on this day in 1990, at the age of 96. The scholar”s residence in Waishuangxi, Taipei, would later be open to the public, to commemorate his works.

1994 Sending love to Nepal
After 6 months of construction, a Da Ai village consisting of prefabricated houses for 800 households, built by the Tzu Chi Foundation for Nepal flood victims was finally complete. Tzu Chi volunteers from Taiwan traveled to Nepal on this day in 1994, to hand over the houses, and hold an aid distribution.

1999 East Timor independence
Once colonized by Portugal and later by Indonesia, a referendum was passed for East Timor to gain independence on this day in 1999. The country was formally established on May 20, 2002, becoming the 193rd independent nation.

歷史的今天，八月三十號。1990年，國學大師錢穆逝世。被稱為中國著名的哲學家與歷史學家錢穆，在1990年這一天逝世，享年九十六歲，位於外雙溪的故居，如今為紀念館，領受大師風範。

1994年，台灣愛心啟程，送達尼泊爾。經過半年的施工，慈濟基金會為尼泊爾水患災民所興建的大愛屋，總計八百戶全數完工，台灣慈濟志工在1994年這一天啟程前往當地驗收移交，也發放物資，祝福新生。

1999年，東帝汶公投，邁向獨立。歷經葡萄牙以及印尼統治，在1999年這一天舉行公民投票，邁向獨立，並在2002年5月20日正式成立，成為世界第193個獲得承認的獨立國家。


10. 雪梨吳如玉 Working with immigrants in Syndey

Tzu Chi volunteer Wu Ruyu(吳如玉) has lived in Sydney, Australia for over 14 years. After seeing local volunteers canvassing for relief funds for the tsunami that devastated Southeast Asia in 2004, Ruyu was inspired to join Tzu Chi. Although a busy professional, Ruyu always manages to find time to join her Tzu Chi sisters and brothers in delivering food and supplies to their care recipients, many who come from different countries around the world.

澳洲雪梨的慈濟志工吳如玉，在當地已經定居14年，2004年南亞大海嘯後，看到慈濟人街頭募款，牽起了吳如玉開始做志工的因緣，雖然工作也很忙碌，但是如玉安排時間與志工固定前往關懷戶家送麵包或物資，這些關懷戶幾乎每一家人都是不同國籍。

1.山口洋大米Rice distribution in Singkawang

In Indonesia, Tzu Chi volunteers from Jakarta distributed 80 tons of rice to 3,644 families in Singkawang. Most of the residents are Muslims, and the rice from Taiwan helped made fasting during Ramadan a little easier.

2.菲杜瑪那修屋Following up on 2 seniors in need

Several weeks ago in the Philippines, Tzu Chi volunteers carried out a large scale rice distribution in Marikina City, during which volunteers came across two solitary seniors in need of assistance. Recently, the volunteers returned to help the seniors repair their rundown homes, and inadvertently inspired their neighborhood to get involved as well.

幾個禮拜前，慈濟在菲律賓的馬利僅那市，舉辦過一場大型的白米發放，那時候志工遇上兩位需要幫助的獨居老人，最近，志工再度探視兩位老人家，替他們整修房子，並意外帶動整個社區一起來關懷老人。

5.彰懺冰粽護持Water Repentance refreshments

The performance of Water Repentance in Changhua took place on the weekend. Local Tzu Chi volunteer Huang Zhiqing(黃志清), had already donated 20,000 frozen zongzi, to refresh the hardworking cast at the Taichung showing of Water Repentance, and for the opening of the new zone at Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital. For the weekend performance of the sutra in Changhua, Huang and his wife, both of whom are also acting in the show, again treated the cast of thousands.

彰化水懺演繹周末登場，幕前幕後有許多菩薩全力護持，像是彰化北斗鎮的慈濟志工黃志清，家裡開食品工廠，日前台中水懺演繹、台中慈濟醫院啟用，他提供了兩萬多顆冰粽跟大家結緣，這星期六、日，彰化、南投、嘉義、雲林四地慈濟志工的水懺演繹，他同樣發心提供點心，也跟太太一塊入經藏。

7.銀行不存錢(5)樹木銀行Saving old trees in the bank

Not all banks are places to hold your money. As we found out last week, there are food banks, seed banks and time banks. Today, we take you to Taiwan”s tree banks, that serve as safe-havens for old and valuable trees, most of which had to be moved to make way for construction projects. The tree bank staff say: although they don”t deal in cash, they know the value of their work.

不是所有的銀行都是存錢的地方，在我們上周的報導中，我們了解有食物銀行、種子與時間銀行，今天，我們要帶您來認識台灣的樹木銀行，專門保護珍貴年老，以及特殊稀有的樹木，或是收留因工程需要移植的樹木，樹木銀行的員工們說，雖然他們工作不是跟金錢有關係，但是他們了解工作背後的意義。

Thanks to the efforts of local people and volunteers, groundbreaking and construction started in 2005. The school is a model institution for good character building.

1842年鴉片戰爭議和，簽訂南京條約，1842年這一天，由清廷欽差大臣耆英伊里布代表、英國璞鼎查代表，雙方在英國「康華麗號」軍艦簽訂中英《南京條約》，開放中國沿海港口通商，並將香港讓予英國治理。

2005年卡崔娜颶風登陸，重創美國東南部，卡崔娜颶風登陸美國路易斯安那州紐奧良，2005年這一天上百萬人撤離，堪稱大西洋史上最慘重風災，包括慈濟基金會，全球有超過20個國家和組織，協助救災和重建工作。

2007年台南慈濟中學創校開學，2007年這一天，台南慈濟中學創校開學，是慈濟教育在花蓮地區以外第一所學校，因為地方人士和慈濟志工的奔走，2005年動土興建，成為培養人品典範的學校。



9.卡崔娜風災The light in the tempest

The 2005 Hurricane Katrina was one of the strongest tropical cyclones to hit the United States, making two landfalls and leaving behind a trail of destruction along the Gulf coast from Florida to Texas. The city of New Orleans was among the hardest hit. Tzu Chi quickly launched fundraising drives across more than 30 countries to help survivors; while locally, more than 1,000 Tzu Chi volunteers in the United States were mobilized to give medical and material assistance in the disaster area. We go back to 2005 - one of New Orleans” toughest periods - to see how the city and its residents pulled through with the help of Good Samaritans from near and far.

2005年卡崔娜颶風，釀成美國史上最嚴重的災難之一，尤其卡崔娜颶風兩度登陸美國，重創佛羅里達到德州的墨西哥灣沿岸，特別是紐奧良，全球三十多個國家的慈濟人發起募款活動，而美國慈濟志工動超過上千人，鏡頭回到2005年，紐奧良人民最煎熬的一段時間，他們能夠再站起來，要感謝的是來自四面八方的愛心。



END：廣東敬老

Finally today, we go to Guangdong, China, where volunteers enjoyed a visit to a local nursing home. For some of the newer caregivers, time spent with the seniors taught them to be more loving towards their own parents and elderly family members. We”ll leave you with these images. Thank you for watching. Goodbye.

在節目的最後，我們將鏡頭轉到中國廣東，志工們前往一間敬老院探訪，對許多第一次前往的志工來說，跟老人家相處的時間，讓他們學會如何更溫柔去對待自己的父母，及身邊的長輩。讓我們一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。(2011.08.29)

《 Words of Wisdom 》 靜思語

Gratitude is the world”s most beautiful language and the most genuine way for people to interact.

感恩，是世間最美的語言，也是人與人之間最真誠的對待。


4. 彰水懺倒數 Changhua: counting down

The last four showings of the Water Repentance musical production will be taking place in Changhua this weekend, at the Changhua County Stadium. For five consecutive days, more than 100 Tzu Chi volunteers have been mobilized to set up the stage, lighting, audio, and flooring for the show. On Wednesday night, the 1,008 cast members of the show carried out their first major dress rehearsal, running through scene after scene, in the hot and humid arena, with determination and joy.

這星期六和星期日兩天，彰化四場水懺演繹，將在彰化體育館豋場，連續五天來，每天都有上百位慈濟志工布置場地，不論是舞台、燈光、音響、地毯等，星期三晚上，彰化地區一千零八位入經藏菩薩，在彰化體育館展開社區第一場彩排，演繹菩薩在悶熱的環境，一遍又一遍彩排，仍水懺法喜，湧入心頭。


5.彰場地貼標 Reusing resources at Changhua show

Earlier at the Changhua County Stadium, major work was being done by nearly 100 volunteers to mark the floor with stickers that assist performers with the complicated choreography. The stencils used to do the marking were recycled from the shows in Kaohsiung, making a good use of existing resources.

稍早在彰化體育館，慈濟志工動員近百人進行貼地標的工作，讓演譯人員能圓滿呈現演出，也回收高雄場次的地標模板，珍惜並延續物命。


6.水懺聯誼併 Continuing dharma of stage show

Although the Taipei performance of the Water Repentance musical came to a successful close two weeks ago, the performance continues to reverberate in the hearts of the volunteers who took part. In the Neihu and Nangang districts of the city, as well as Taishan and Linkou in New Taipei City, performers held separate gatherings to thank the musical”s volunteers for their six months of hard work. The volunteers say they want the dharma joy, that was cultivated by the musical, to continue to grow in their hearts and their communities.

兩星期前，台北小巨蛋水懺經藏演繹圓滿落幕，不過感動還在所有的志工心中，包括台北市內湖、南港還有新北市泰林地區的志工，分別舉辦了入經藏感恩會，感恩所有人半年多來的努力，也會把這分入經藏帶來的法喜，繼續帶給所有的社區居民。


7.水懺謝佳穎 Dharma transforms mother, daughter

Xie Jiaying and Shi Xiaohua (謝佳穎和施曉樺)are another mother-daughter pair participating in Tzu Chi”s Water Repentance musical. Xie Jiaying used to be quick tempered and impatient, but now she is nurturing and loving. To Shi Xiaohua, it is as if she has a new mother.

謝佳穎和施曉樺是一對加入慈濟慈悲三昧水懺演出的母女檔，謝佳穎以前可是脾氣不好又沒耐性，但現在的她身段柔軟又溫柔，對施曉樺來說，彷彿有了位新媽媽。


《 衲履足跡 》On Religion 談宗教

Some of the duties of Tzu Chi volunteers are to dispel superstitions, promote true Buddhism, and raise awareness of what the religion represents.
These are guidelines and protocols to life. Ethics and morality should serve as guiding lights for humanity.

慈濟人不只是破除迷信，也宣導宗教；不只為佛教宣導，而是讓人人知道宗教開闊的意義。「宗」是人生宗旨、「教」是生活教育，應守持身而為人的人倫道理。


8.銀行不存錢(3)種子銀行 Noah”s ark for plant life

In our continuing series of feature reports on banks with a difference, today we introduce you to a seed bank. (CG) Taiwan”s National Plant Genetic Resources Center is a huge vault, with a collection of over 70,000 different seeds. The bank has a basketball-court sized refrigerator, which stores seeds at around zero degrees Celsius, for mid-term periods; and a smaller freezer, at minus 18 degrees, which can hold seeds for 50-100 years. () Some people say the seed bank is a modern Noah”s ark, that rescues and preserves valuable wild plants, for the benefit of future generations.

今天銀行不存錢的專題報導中，介紹你種子銀行，台灣農委會農試所成立的國家作物種原中心，中心裡蒐集保存了有7萬多種的作物種子，種子銀行有個如同籃球場大的大冰庫，中期庫設計在零度左右，而最小的冰庫也在零下18度，一般可以保存50到100年，有些人說種子銀行就像諾亞方舟，保存了很多野生種原，為下一代保存最後的希望。


9.0826歷史的今天 On this day, August 26.

1989
Housing
protest
At an all-night vigil, organized by Taiwan”s ”houseless cooperative”, on this day in 1989, protestors lobbied the government for affordable housing. The demand by residents to own their own homes was the country”s first ever mass movement for metropolitan reform.

2005
Pros join mock
surgery class
The simulated surgery course at Tzu Chi University, which was originally for medical students, was opened up to professional doctors on this day in 2005. Senior resident and attending doctors at Tzu Chi General Hospital conducted mock operations on cadavers, donated by ”silent mentors”. The program is designed to improve the quality of surgery, and reduce malpractice.

2006
Zamboanga
eye clinic
Volunteers at Tzu Chi”s health center in Zamboanga of the Philippines held a groundbreaking ceremony for a new eye clinic on this day in 2006. At the event, the mayor of Zamboanga declare the day as Tzu Chi Day. Two years later, the completed eye clinic was opened. Serving local poor patients, the new center is the most modern ophthalmology facility in the area.

1989年，台灣無殼蝸牛夜宿忠孝東路，由「無住屋者團結組織」所發起的夜宿行動，1989年這一天要爭取台灣房價合理化，住者有其屋是台灣群眾運動當中，第一個以都市改革為訴求的運動。

2005年，資深醫師再進修，首次模擬手術，模擬手術原本是慈濟大學醫學系學生的課程，2005年這天首次開放給醫師，由服務於花蓮慈濟醫院的資深住院和主治醫師以大體老師實境模擬手術，提升手術品質，減低醫療誤差。

2006年，大愛眼科中心三寶顏動土，位在菲律賓三寶顏的醫療中心，2006年這天動土興建眼科中心，與會的三寶顏市市長也宣布這天是三寶顏慈濟日，兩年後 眼科中心完工啟用，是當地最先進的眼科機構，服務當地貧苦病患。


10.美小學制服 Help for needy students

As the summer break is about to end, underprivileged students who cannot afford bags, uniforms and stationery, are worried about starting the new semester. In the United States, Tzu Chi volunteers in San Francisco have joined the City Government once again at the annual backpack distribution to help needy students.

隨著暑假即將要結束，但許多貧困人家卻開始煩惱了，因為沒有錢買書包、文具和制服，美國舊金山市政府再度舉辦背包發放，幫助清貧學子。

1.桃園義診 TIMA visits Taoyuan nursing home

But first up today: the Hsin-Teng Education and Nursing Institute, in Taiwan”s Taoyuan County, is a center for children and teenagers with mental disabilities. It was recently visited, once again, by members of the Tzu Chi International Medical Association - or TIMA - who organized a free clinic for the youngsters. One volunteer even brought his ten grandchildren to play with the residents.

今天首先來看，台灣桃園心燈教養院，一所服務智能障礙孩童的教養院，一群慈濟人醫會的成員前來這裡為孩童舉辦義診，一位志工更帶著十個孫子來一起陪伴院童玩樂。


2.史瓦濟蘭發放 Love and care for the needy

The landlocked country of Swaziland, in southern Africa, is facing a severe drought. According to the World Vision, 22 percent of the population are starving, which means that more than one out of every five people do not have enough to eat. Knowing the difficulties the people are under, Tzu Chi volunteers in South Africa decided to lend a helping hand. Volunteers brought two containers of rice, and other relief supplies, to distribute to 4,000 families.

位於非洲的南部，史瓦濟蘭面臨嚴重乾旱，根據世界展望會統計，當地二成二的人口有糧食缺乏問題，也就是說五個人裡面就有一個人沒有食物可以吃，知道人民所面臨困苦的環境，南非慈濟志工決定伸出援手，志工們帶來兩大貨櫃的大米以及其他物資，送給四千個家庭。


《 Words of Wisdom 》 靜思語

To cherish life is one”s duty; to love and respect each other is a blessing.

愛惜生命是本分，尊重互愛是福分。


3.銀行不存錢(2)時間銀行 Volunteer service swap

In our continuing series of features on banks in Taiwan that do not deal in money, (CG in) we look at time banks. The idea started in the United States in the 1980s and has going in Taiwan for 10 years. Volunteers log the number of hours they work into the bank, and exchange the time for equivalent help from other volunteers. Some 30 countries have adopted the system, but do time banks take away the true value of selfless volunteering? We went to a time bank at the Hongdao Foundation - which is an NGO in Taiwan for elderly people - to find out more.

銀行不存錢系列報導，今天要帶您來看的是時間銀行，時間銀行在1980年起源於美國，在台灣盛行了10年，概念是讓大家存入自己服務別人的時數，等自己需要別人幫助時，再提領出來獲得別人的服務，有30個國家就運用了這個概念，不過時間銀行的計畫是否會影響當志工是無私奉獻的原意呢，帶大家到台灣弘道老人基金會，一個專門照護老人的非營利機構去看看。


《 衲履足跡 》 On Faith 談信仰

The law of cause and effect would not be applicable if people believed only in prayers and empty wishes; and not in the wisdom of ”you reap what you sow”.
Given that, sense should be exercised when practicing the teachings of one”s religion.

若求神問卜就可以求得事事如意，宇宙間就沒有因果存在了；凡事都要付出才會有收穫。信仰必須求實求真，就如行路，要先看清楚有地、有路，才能踏步。

4.彰舞臺 Readying Changhua Stadium

The last stop of Tzu Chi”s Water Repentance sign-language and musical spectacular is Changhua County Stadium, in central Taiwan, on Saturday and Sunday. Workers and volunteers are already busy setting up the venue for the weekend event.

慈濟慈悲三昧水懺音樂劇的最終站，將於周六、周日在彰化體育館的演出，工作人員與志工正忙著準備工作。


5.彰懺張黎鄉Paragon of virtue and filial piety

One of the volunteers, who is taking part in the Water Repentance musical in Changhua, is Zhang Lixiang(張黎鄉), from Ershui(二水). Called a paragon of virtue and filial piety, Zhang has taken care of her sick mother-in-law for over ten years. Although that keeps her very busy, Zhang did her best to arrange her schedule so that she had time to join the cast of Water Repentance. As a results, she says has found peace of mind.

彰化縣二水鄉的慈濟志工張黎鄉，也參與慈濟慈悲三昧水懺的演繹，她照顧生病的婆婆長達十多年，堪稱行善行孝的好典範，不過就算生活忙碌，還是盡力調配時間參與水懺經藏演繹，透過一次又一次的練習洗滌了心靈。


6.懺後迎無常 Water Repentance inspires

Another volunteer who is firmly on the Tzu Chi path is Ms. Xu Renxiang(許任香). The 60-year-old has been an avid recycler for six years, despite suffering a stroke several years ago, that affected her speech and mobility. Last year, her son”s business failed, which cost her entire retirement savings. She says she probably wouldn”t have recovered from that set back, had she not watched the recent Water Repentance show in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

另外一位，也行走慈濟菩薩道的是許任香，60歲的她，做環保回收卻已經有六年多，儘管曾經在多年前中風，行動不便、語言也受到影響，去年兒子做生意失敗，賠上了她的養老本，原本一直走不出來的她，因為看了高雄的水懺演繹，讓她恍然大悟，知道一切都有因果。


7. 內湖國際青年 Visitors at Neihu recycling station

Back in Taiwan, Tzu Chi”s environmental work is attracting overseas visitors, who stop by the Neihu recycling station in Taipei, to learn more. Recently, over 30 youths in an international exchange program, arrived at the station, to experience sorting recyclables. The group were much inspired by the experience.

慈濟環保志業，吸引許多國外來台的交流團到內湖環保教育站進一步認識慈濟，最近有三十多位來自不同國家的國際青年，親身體驗寶特瓶的回收方式，也在過程中深受啟發。

Chip in for Food Bank
Repent - the end is nigh!

Welcome to Da Ai Headlines. I”m Anthony Carlisle. Thank you for joining us.

Coming up in today”s show, volunteers in Hong Kong and Malaysia encourage residents to mark so-called Ghost Month in a different way.
We start a new series on banks with a difference in Taiwan, starting with a food bank that collects unsold bread, and delivers it to the poor.
And the epic Water Repentance sign-language and musical show moves to Changhua, on the final leg of its current tour of Taiwan.

1.馬吉祥月祈福 Celebrating an auspicious time

First up today, we go to a Tzu Chi gathering in Batu Pahat, of Malaysia”s Johor State, where volunteers promoted the seventh lunar month - commonly known as Ghost Month - as a month of filial piety and gratitude instead. In traditional Chinese culture, Ghost Month is a time when spirits roam the earth, and people burn ghost money and make food offerings to appease them. However, from Tzu Chi”s perspective, the month should be marked by honoring your parents and giving up eating meat. We joined the gathering in Malaysia, to see how the message was delivered.

節目一開始，首先到馬來西亞峇株巴轄，有一場吉祥月祈福晚會，農曆七月是俗稱的鬼月，是孝親月也是感恩月，傳統文化裡，農曆七月是孤魂遊蕩的時間，人類會已焚燒紙錢以及食物祭祀來撫慰它們，其實在慈濟的觀點上，希望大眾不要大肆鋪張，以齋戒來紀念，帶大家到馬來西亞去看看農曆七月的真正由來和意義。


2.香港齋戒 Eating vegi for 7th lunar month

Meanwhile over in Hong Kong, to persuade people to regard Ghost Month as a ”special cultural period” Tzu Chi volunteers held a 6-day blessing event. Every day, 120 residents were invited to enjoy a meatless meal, and learn more about becoming a vegetarian. Volunteers said they hoped Hong Kongers would be inspired to start eating vegetarian at home.

在香港為了宣導正信正念，香港慈濟人一連六天舉辦齋戒祈福會，每天邀請一百二十位社區大德走進會所體會素食之美，志工表示也藉由齋戒來普渡眾生。

3.銀行不存錢(1)食物銀行 Roll up for the bread bank

Starting today, we”ll be bringing you a series of feature reports on banks with a difference in Taiwan, starting with a food bank. Taiwan”s version of the ”Youth Peace Corps” has been running a bread bank for 13 years. Everyday, volunteers go around local bakeries who have joined the program, to collect unsold bread, and give it to the poor.

今天節目一開始帶大家看看，在台灣有許多特殊的銀行，不過看的是食物銀行的報導，13年前，青年和平團在台灣發起食物銀行，每天和平團的志工會去固定的麵包店，收取店家賣剩下的麵包，幫助貧戶的家庭。


4.馬國諾雅麗莎 Determined to live on in face of illness

After the food bank, we”ll take you to a time bank tomorrow. But back to today, and the small town of Kinarut in Malaysia”s Sabah, where 12-year-old Mor Ahliza started losing the use of her arms and legs two years ago, to the point where now she has become unable to walk or even feed herself. But despite her illness, she has not given up on life. Here”s her story.

食物銀行，之後明天還會帶大家深入報導，不過現在帶大家看位於馬來西亞沙巴州的一個小鎮京那律，12歲的少女兩年前開始病發，手腳的神經系統逐漸失去功能，無法行動更不能自理，不過她並沒有因此放棄生命，來看她的故事。


《 衲履足跡 》 On Dignity & Love 談自愛愛人

The ability to respect oneself ensures the capacity to love all without prejudice. Only then can harmony be achieved in all human affairs.

1.中慈院啟用 TCH First Zone opening ceremony

On Sunday, August 21st , the Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital”s first zone officially opened. Master Cheng Yen personally attended the ceremony and expressed her gratitude for the sacrifices made by the hospital”s staff in making the transition to the new zone a smooth one.

星期天8月21號，台中慈濟醫院第一院區正式啟用，證嚴上人也親臨參與啟用儀式，並感恩所有醫護人員和中區慈濟人犧牲付出，順利完成搬遷行動。


2.中慈院來賓 VIPs at hospital opening

The opening ceremony of the new zone at Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital was attended by a number of local luminaries and political leaders. Taichung city mayor Hu Zhiqiang (胡志強) and Taiwan provincial governor Lin Zhengze (林政則) were just two of the VIPs to show their support. As well as being a milestone for Tzu Chi”s medical mission, the new hospital zone is a landmark facility for central Taiwan.

台中慈濟醫院第一院區啟用，當地名人與政治人物都到場祝賀，像是台中市市長胡志強、台灣省省主席林政則，這一天不但是慈濟醫療志業新的里程碑，也是台灣中部重要的地標。


3.中慈院細說 The story of Taichung TCH

The idea to build Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital was first conceived in 1990. Tzu Chi bought the land in 1995, and a groundbreaking ceremony was later held in 2002. Now, nine years later, a new zone has been added, after seven years of construction. In our next story, we travel back to the beginning, to find out how this much-loved landmark in central Taiwan was built.

台中慈濟醫院從1990年決定興建，1995年購地、2002年正式動土，如今九年後，七年的興建後，新的院區啟用，透過鏡頭，讓我們一塊來看看，這個中部的地標是如何的平地起高樓。


《 Words of Wisdom 》 靜思語

Those who are content are never lacking.

知足的人，不會貧乏。


4.0821中懺演出+水懺末場 Water Repentance closes in Taichung

The curtain fell on the last Water Repentance show in Taichung on Sunday, August 21st, after three days of sold-out performances. Eight months of rehearsals and preparations paid off, as thousands of performers and backstage personnel put their efforts together, to give an audience of more than 30,000 people a show to remember. The theme of karmic retribution and the captivating choreography profoundly moved the audience to cultivate themselves spiritually and act for the benefit of others.

台中水懺經藏演繹接連三天，在二十一號圓滿結束，投入數千人次演繹菩薩與籌備人員，參與的會眾超過三萬人次，演繹懺悔的主題以及動人的手語呈現，提醒觀眾要努力修行，利益眾生。


5.水懺特色(三)李靜映手語 ”Repentance” choreographer Li Jingying

The beautiful sign-language movements in the Water Repentance show were choreographed by Tzu Chi volunteer Li Jingying(李靜映). She worked very hard to come up with an easy but elegant interpretation of the sutra. Li was also responsible for training sign-language teachers all over Taiwan. She says: it was a challenge she could not turn down.

法譬如水經藏演繹，美麗的手語動作，全由慈濟手語老師李靜映包辦，她費心思想出一套優雅又易懂的手語動作，也負責訓練全省的種子老師，李靜映說她不會放棄這次殊勝的因緣。


6.覺醒懺文(四)-歌仔戲創新 Water Repentance star role

Renowned Taiwanese opera performer, Xu Yafen(許亞芬), plays the role of Master Wu in Tzu Chi”s Water Repentance sign-language musical. The actor, however, had to set aside the traditional dramatic and passionate performance she is accustomed to, and come up with a new way to play her role. To properly illustrate the inner struggle of the Buddhist master, Xu had to also make changes to the traditional sleeve dance, which uses long sleeves to illustrate emotions.

台灣歌仔戲名家許亞芬，在慈濟的慈悲三昧水懺音樂劇中詮釋悟達國師，也因此必須捨棄她習慣的，有鑼鼓鐃鈸與激情的表演形式，以創新的手法來表演，為了讓觀眾看到劇中人物的喜怒哀樂，她還設計傳統的水袖舞，也就是以長袖舞動出情感。


《 衲履足跡 》 Spreading the Seeds of Charity 談揚善

This desire can be considered as Taiwan”s pride. Although evil can never be eliminaled, it is still important to inspire everyone to do good, and stay away from immoral deeds.

台灣這幾十年來慈善團體日增，想幫助別人的愛心與善心，正是台灣引以為傲的寶藏！善與惡雖然長恆存在，仍要積極引導眾生揚善棄惡。


7.加夏令發放 Summer distribution for the homeless

Tzu Chi volunteers in Toronto, Canada, have been working with the local NGO, Street Health, for the past six years, to give relief to the homeless. At this year”s summer distribution, volunteers once again prepared essential items such as shampoo, shower gels, dental kits, clothes and food. And, as always, Tzu Chi”s love moved and inspired many to give what they could.

加拿大多倫多慈濟志工和街友關懷團體 (Street Health)合作，連續六年在夏天和冬天為街友送來物資，在今年的夏令發放，志工們為每個人準備了個人的衛生用品包，裡頭有洗髮精、沐浴乳、口腔清潔組、衣服還有食物，如同以往，慈濟的愛感動了許多人，讓他們也深受啟發，行善付出。

The largest ever denomination banknote issued by the Central Bank of China, worth 5 million yuan, went into circulation on this day in 1948.

1958 Second Strait Crisis
At around half past six in the afternoon, on this day in 1958, the People”s Liberation Army of China began an artillery bombardment of Taiwan”s Kinmen island.

1994 Mountain rescue
Starting in July 1994, Taiwan was hit by a series of typhoons which left a swathe of destruction in the center and south of the country.

Later the first Tzu Chi village would be built for residents of the Cuiluan翠巒 indigenous community.

1948年，金圓券流通最短暫貨幣，發行面額包含伍佰萬元，是中華民國有史以來發行面額最大的貨幣，在國共內戰期間，由民眾以黃金或外幣兌換，導致後來惡性通貨膨漲，只發行了十個月就宣告結束。

1958年八二三砲戰，二次台海危機，1958年這天下午六點半左右，中國解放軍砲擊金門，兩小時內落彈四萬多發，在美軍的介入下，解放軍在十月份宣布雙日停火，冷卻台海危機。

1992年，達拉斯聯絡處，美南慈濟新據點，包括慈濟志工程一蓉和徐佩華等人，在1992年這天向當地民眾介紹慈濟之後，宣布成立達拉斯聯絡處，深耕當地慈善關懷，2008年升格為達拉斯分會。

1994年，連續颱風登陸，翻山越嶺送物資，從七月份起，台灣地區接連颱風侵襲，重創中南部，慈濟志工在1994年這天在駱駝與飛鷹車隊的支援下，出動登山車將米糧和棉被送到海拔兩千三百公尺的原住民部落，日後也在翠巒部落興建首座慈濟村。

1.越南義診12th free clinic in Cu Zhi Precinct

In Vietnam, healthcare professionals and volunteers have put together their efforts to bring about Tzu Chi”s free clinic in Cu Zhi Precinct, the 12th of ts kind in the country. In the remote and secluded community, most of the younger people have left to work in the city, leaving only the old and frail behind. Due to poverty, many of the residents cannot afford medical treatment. Tzu Chi hopes to remedy the situation with long-term care.

在越南醫護人員與慈濟志工，來到古芝縣舉辦第十二次的社區義診，這個偏遠的地區年輕人大都已經前往都會工作，留下老弱婦孺，也因為貧窮，很多人無法看醫生，慈濟期盼能用長期的陪伴守護居民的健康。

4.加油吧!氣仙沼(五)Seaweed farmer starts again

After the Japan earthquake and tsunami, the combined gymnasium in Kesennuma City became an emergency shelter. For the local Azabu-juban ”summer night” festival in mid-August, a kindhearted person donate free clothing to the survivors, so they could get into the spirit of the occasion. In the latest in our series of reports from Kesennuma, we meet an 81-year-old grower of kombu - edible Japanese seaweed - who says he is restarting his business from a tatami mat.

311日本地震海嘯後，氣仙沼市綜合體育館成了避難所，八月中旬是當地的納涼節，善心人士送來免費的和服和浴衣，讓避難的鄉親也有過節的氣氛，接下來的報導，帶大家認識高齡八十一歲的昆布養殖業者，要從一張榻榻米開始振作。



5.緬甸吉祥月”Auspicious Month”

While the Japanese celebrate their summer festival, in Myanmar people are marking a period known as the Ghost Month-- the seventh lunar month-- by burning incense, paper money, and giving offerings. So this year, Burmese Tzu Chi volunteers held their first blessing ceremony for what Buddhists regard as the ”Auspicious Month” to dispel the misconceptions surrounding this time.

日本慶祝納涼節的同時，在緬甸，人們正慶祝著農曆七月，所謂的鬼月，燒紙錢、拜拜，以及準備供品，今年 緬甸慈濟志工首次舉辦七月祈福會活動，希望破解緬甸民眾對農曆七月的迷思。



6.四分之一世紀的感恩(4)護士篇25 years of Tzu Chi nurses

In Taiwan, part of Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital”s 25 years of success has been its dedicated nursing team. Their enthusiasm and professionalism allows doctors to focus their attention on treating the sick, and also gives the hospital a friendly atmosphere. For nurses Lin Zhihui and Lin Jinlan, their 25 years on the job have passed by in a flash.

在台灣，花蓮慈濟醫院成功營運的一個原因，有一部分是來自於一群十分敬業的護士，因為有他們的熱忱與專業態度，醫師才能無後顧之憂的為病人治療，而林智惠及林金蘭護理長，25年來如一日。

1. 日震慈濟人 Japanese volunteers back ”home”

But first we start today”s program in Taiwan. In her address to the overseas volunteer leadership seminar in New Taipei City, Master Cheng Yen told the delegates that their reports once again showed the determination of Tzu Chi volunteers to overcome all obstacles. One group who had a mountain to climb earlier this year were the delegation from the Japan Chapter. They shared their problems winning over the Japanese people, and getting permission to distribute aid in the disaster area. As soon as they return to Japan, the volunteers will start organizing the latest of their distributions.

不過，首先來看台灣的報導。證嚴上人在四合一幹部精進研習會上，再次見證了慈濟人克服萬難、使命必達的行善決心。今年初，日本慈濟人努力付出，克服困難，他們也上台分享，如何贏得日本人信任的挑戰，最後贏得當局的允許，到災區發放。這群來自慈濟日本分會的志工，返國後，即將進行大型發放的工作。


2. 加油吧！氣仙沼(三) Fishermen ride waves of disaster

The Karakuwa district of Kesennuma City in northeast Japan was one of the areas hit hardest by the tsunami on March 11. Many of the homes in Karakuwa were less than 100m from the ocean, and stood little chance against the tidal wave. In the latest in our series of features from Kesennuma, we meet some of the fishermen who lived in the Karakuwa peninsula.

位在日本東北的氣仙沼市唐桑地區，成為這次三一一的重災區，這裡有些地區甚至距離海邊不到一百公尺，無法抵擋海浪的侵襲，今天有關氣仙沼市的專題中，帶大家認識一些住在唐桑地區的漁民。


《 靜思語 》

Unity of hearts enables limitless accomplishments.

心和萬事興。


3. 四分之一世紀的感恩(3)：醫師篇 Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital: 25 years on

25 years ago, on August 17th, the Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital first opened its doors to the public. From its humble beginnings, the hospital has grown to be a pioneer in surgical procedures, medical education and ethics. However, success was not always assured. We noww see how the hospital became an ISO9002 certified medical center.

25年前，8月17號，花蓮慈濟醫院啟業，從花蓮慈院創始為堅，到醫療專業技術、醫學教育，以及醫療人文，締造許多的創舉，也得到ISO9002的認證，接下來就讓我們來看看。


4. 開枝散葉：張耀仁 25 years of Tzu Chi medical mission

Dr. Zhang Yaoren(張耀仁) has been there since the beginning the Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital and was there for much of its initial growing pains. Now vice superintendent of the Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital, Dr. Zhang continues to serve with tenderness and dedication.

慈濟醫療志業發展至今，張耀仁醫師參與了當年花蓮慈院的啟業，蓽路藍縷，現在的他承擔台北慈院副院長的工作，落實對病患身心靈的全面照顧。


5. 中慈一般外科 Keyhole surgery at Taichung TC Hospital

Next we go to the Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital where laparoscopic surgery, which is a minimally invasive operation technique, has helped treated more than 30 senior citizens including one centenarian.

接著帶大家到台中慈院，專精於腹腔鏡手術，傷口小，也不需要做全身麻醉，目前就有超過三十位高齡病患者接受手術，其中還有百歲人瑞。


《 衲履足跡 》

On Appreciating Blessings
Although Taiwan gets a large amount of rainfall, do not imagine that the country is free from water shortage problems. With cause and effect in mind, we should use our water with care, and not spoil or waste it. We should reflect on the disasters we see all over the world, and be vigilant.

主題：談惜福
開示：即使台灣常有降雨，也不要以為台灣沒有缺水的問題，要具有因果觀，用虔誠的心使用水，不要糟蹋浪費。看到世間災難，都要反省深思，引以警惕。


6. 腦麻畫家圓夢 Cerebral palsy artist Bao Jinrong

Recognized by the United Nation for her artistic talents, cerebral palsy patient Bao Jinrong (包錦蓉) returned to Taiwan recently from the US, to hold her an exhibition. During her trip back home, the artist joined the students at the children”s home to share some painting tips. She also hopes to inspire more people with her life story, and to never give up hope.

被譽為聯合國未來之星的腦麻畫家包錦蓉，最近從美國返台，舉辦個人畫展，回來的這段時間當中，包錦蓉也抽空到育幼院，跟小朋友分享畫畫的心得，她說她希望透過自己的故事，啟發更多跟她一樣的人，不要放棄生命。


7. 0819歷史的今天 On this day, the 19th of August.

1946 Stop hitting children
Even during Japanese occupation, corporal punishment was banned in Taiwan”s middle and elementary schools. On this day in 1946 after the Republic of China took over Taiwan, a mandate was passed to ensure all schools knew not to beat their students. However, it was not until 2006, when the ”Zero Corporal Punishment” Act was passed that educational institutions in Taiwan truly gave up the abusive disciplinary measure, and Taiwan became the 109th country in the world to forbid caning.

1989 Remembering 228
On this day in 1989, a plaque was erected in Taiwan”s Chiayi to honor those who died in an anti-government uprising against the Kuomintang on February 27, 1947 known as the 228 Massacre. It was the first 228 memorial in Taiwan. In spite of the lifting of the 40-year martial law which was imposed after the uprising, the plaque”s designer, Zhan Sanyuan, was later imprisoned for designing it. He was one of the last victims of White Terror in Taiwan.

1999 Turkey quake relief
On August 17th, 1999, a 7.4 magnitude quake struck Turkey killing 17,000 people and leaving half a million homeless. Tzu Chi volunteers, who were in Kosovo to discuss a possible medical outreach program, immediately went to the disaster area to offer assistance. They were the first foreign aid workers to arrive.

2000 Qianqi Tzu Chi School
In 1996, Typhoon Herb caused extensive damage in China”s Fujian Province. As Tzu Chi carried out relief distributions, a school reconstruction project was put in place. On this day in 2000, Qianqi(前岐) Tzu Chi High School was completed after nearly three years of construction. The school is home to over 1,000 students and has dormitories for pupils from out of town.

歷史的今天，八月十九號。1946年，台灣中小學廢除體罰。日據時代，台灣的中小學就已經廢除體罰，中華民國撤退到台灣以後，在1946年的這天，再度通令中小學校，禁止體罰，但其實直到2006年通過零體罰條款，台灣才開始放棄這種危害孩子的教育方式，成為全球第109個立法禁止體罰的國家。

1989年，二二八紀念碑首座落成嘉義市。1989年的這天，台灣嘉義市紀念1947年2月27號因為反國民黨而演變而成的二二八大屠殺的紀念碑落成，是台灣第一座紀念二二八的紀念碑，儘管當時因為該反政府事件而實行40年的戒嚴令已經解除，設計者詹三原卻仍然因此入獄服刑，他是台灣最後一批白色恐怖的受害者。

1999年，土耳其強震，慈濟勘災發放。1999年八月十七號，土耳其發生規模七點四強震，至少一萬七千人死亡，超過五十萬人無家可歸，當時正在科索沃洽談醫療援助計劃的慈濟志工，立刻轉往土耳其，是最先抵達當地的外國救援團體。

2000年，前岐慈濟中學落成啟用。1996年賀伯颱風侵襲中國福建省，慈濟志工前往關懷，並決定援建受損校舍，經過兩年十個月施工，前岐慈濟中學這天落成啟用，可招收一千多名學生，留住當地學子。


8. 慈濟土耳其 1999 earthquake relief

A 7.4 magnitude quake struck northwestern Turkey on August 17, 1999. As we just saw in our On This Day feature, Tzu Chi volunteers who were in Kosovo, arrived in Turkey two days later. They were the first foreign relief workers to reach the disaster area. Although just over a month later, Taiwan would be rocked by the 9/21 earthquake, the volunteers stayed at their posts, and served their duty, which touched the Turkish people.

1999年8月17號，土耳其凌晨發生7.4強震，就如剛剛在歷史的今天所看到，2天後慈濟人抵達，是第一個前往幫忙的外國團體，但是一個月過後，台灣發生了921大地震，即便如此，志工仍然緊守崗位完成任務，深深的感動土耳其的居民。

1.四分之一世紀的感恩(2)志工篇+花慈25朝山 25 years of medical care

At five o”clock on Wednesday morning, nearly 500 hospital staff, community volunteers and nuns from the Jing Si Abode, went on a walking meditation to celebrate Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital”s 25th anniversary. Lined up to form the number ”25”, the pilgrims looked back on the past quarter of a century, and looked forward to the future. A defining characteristic of Tzu Chi Hospitals is their volunteers, who help the nurses and doctors take care of the patients and their families. In our first item today, we meet some of these hospital helpers.

周三清晨五點，將近五百位花蓮慈院同仁以及社區志工，在靜思精舍師父的帶領下，以朝山發願，感恩慶賀花蓮慈濟醫院25周年，隊員排列出25字樣的隊伍，代表走過四分之一世紀，期許未來有無數個25年，慈濟醫院最大的特色，就是醫療團隊志工相伴，他們牽起醫護的手，照顧著病患及家屬，接下來的報導，來看看醫療志工的故事。



2.醫療傳承簡瑞騰Holistic care for patients

Since Tzu Chi built its first hospital 25 years ago, many professionals have been trained through the holistic healthcare system. Dr. Jian Ruiteng(簡瑞騰) from Dalin is one of them. He says he was taught to look after the patient as well as cure the disease.

慈濟醫療25年培訓出許多醫護，大林慈院簡瑞騰醫師就是其中之一，在受訓期間，簡瑞騰看到老師們從全人觀念出發，奉行以人為本的醫療。



3.中慈整型外科Plastic surgery changing lives

At Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital, the plastic surgery team brings professional treatment to patients in central Taiwan. Cleft lip specialist Dr. Yu Zhongzhi(余忠志), who comes from Taipei, makes his expertise available to the region, and cosmetic surgeon Dong Dongzan(蕫東瓚) serves in Taichung once a week. In our next story, we find out what motivated these plastic surgeons to work away from home.

4.泰母親節愛灑A heartwarming Mother”s Day

Mother”s Day is celebrated on August 12 in Thailand. To mark the occasion, Bangkok Tzu Chi volunteers went to a local school, to arrange for the students to wash their mom”s and dad”s feet. The intimate experience helped the children and their parents appreciate each other.

八月十二號是泰國的母親節，泰國曼谷慈濟人特別前往當地的學校，舉辦愛灑活動，也讓孩子能為父母浴足，讓孩子感受到父母親的辛勞。



5.加油吧!氣仙沼(二)Recovering memories

Kesennuma City in Miyagi Prefecture of northeast Japan was wiped out by the tsunami on March 11. Those who survived lost all their possessions. Volunteers are still sifting through the wreckage, sorting what can be salvaged, and waiting for people to claim it. Their only hope is to give residents the joy of finding something that was lost.

日本氣仙沼市，被311地震海嘯重創，生還者的物品都被沖到海裡，居民說，他們的回憶都在太平洋裡了，志工隊每天到瓦礫堆中撿拾，然後清洗，等待人們認領，失而復得的喜悅，是他們重生的希望。



6.菲父女慈濟緣Father-and-daughters in Tzu Chi

Overseas volunteers returned to Taiwan recently, to attend a leadership seminar in Taipei. Yang Guoying(楊國英) from the Philippines joined Tzu Chi 14 years ago. He attended with his two daughters, who were inspired to become volunteers after joining their father on a large-scale distribution event in July.

來自海外的志工，最近回到台灣台北參加四合一幹部精進研習會，一位菲律賓的慈濟志工楊國英，十四年前加入慈濟，而這一次跟著兩個女兒前來，女兒們在七月菲律賓舉辦大型發放時接觸到慈濟，深受感動而投入志工的行列。



7.0818歷史的今天On this day, the 18th of August.

1850 Adieu, Honore!
French novelist Honore de Balzac died on this day in 1850 at the age of 51. His masterpiece, La Comedie Humaine, which contains 91 short stories and novels featuring more than 2,400 characters, presents a panorama of what life was like in France after the French Revolution.

1997 Lincoln Manors collapse
Improperly built on a dip slope in Taiwan”s Xizhi, the Lincoln Manors collapsed after the torrential rain brought by Typhoon Winnie triggered a landslide. The condominium community was home to about 1450 families. 28 people died, and more than 100 families had no home to return to. Tzu Chi immediately assisted with the ensuing rescue and relief effort.

1998 Water cellars in Gansu
To help residents of China”s Gansu endure an ongoing drought, on this day in 1998, Tzu Chi began constructing water cellars in the province. After a decade, 19,000 water cellars were built. However, the cellars were rendered useless without rainfall, thus, Tzu Chi began relocating residents closer to water sources in 2008, in what was the largest relocation project the province had ever seen.

1850年，文學拿破崙－巴爾扎克逝世，法國文學家奧諾雷‧德‧巴爾扎克，1850年的這天過世享年51歲，他的巨作－人間喜劇，涵蓋91部小說，兩千四百多位人物，詳細的描述出法國革命後的社會生活。

1997年，林肯大郡倒塌，慈濟救災膚慰，由於不當蓋在順向坡，台灣汐止的林肯大郡在溫妮颱風帶來豪大雨後，引發土石崩落而倒塌，這個豪華社區約有1450戶人家，28人死亡，超過100戶人家無家可歸，慈濟志工立即加入救災行列。

1998年，抗旱扶貧，甘肅水窖動工，為了幫助中國甘肅的居民對抗長期的旱災，1998年的這天，慈濟開始蓋水窖，十多年共計完成一萬九千座，但由於長期不下雨，讓水窖無水可汲，於是2008年開始，慈濟幫忙把居民遷移到離水源較近的位置，被喻為甘肅史上規模最大的移民工程。



8.甘肅水窖Building water cellars in Gansu

As you just saw, Tzu Chi began constructing water cellars in China”s Gansu Province, on this day in 1998. While many people take water for granted, in the dry plateaus of northwest China, every drop of water is precious. In our next story, we look back at Tzu Chi”s cellar building program, and what it meant to local people.

如你剛剛所看到，1998年的這天，慈濟在中國的甘肅開始蓋水窖，當大家把用水視為理所當然的時候，在乾旱地區的中國西北方，每一滴水都很珍貴，今天的故事，帶大家看看慈濟援建的水窖，以及援建水窖對當地人的意義為何。



END：慈少惜資源

To help young children in Taiwan appreciate the value of each drop of water, Tzu Chi volunteers organized an event for nearly 300 junior high school students in Tainan, which included a trip to the Shanlin Da Ai Community. We”ll leave you with these images. Thank you for watching Da Ai Headlines. Goodbye.

為了讓台灣年輕學子珍惜每一滴水，慈濟志工特別舉辦珍惜水資源的活動，安排近三百位台南慈少成長班的學生參加，同時也帶學生們到杉林大愛園區參訪。一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。(2011.08.18)

1. 基督城發放 Lighting up the winter

Following the New Zealand earthquake in February of this year, Tzu Chi volunteers have been helping locals through distributions of relief supplies and emergency funds. In July, volunteers from Auckland held the first winter distribution to give food aid to local residents. Today, the volunteers are back in Christchurch with blankets to give the residents a warmer winter.

紐西蘭基督城在今年2月發生強震，慈濟志工持續展開救災工作，在七月，志工們首次舉辦冬令發放，為當地兩所學校的學生及家人帶來許多食物，而今天，志工們又回來，但這次是帶來毛毯，希望讓大家過個溫暖的冬天。


2. 泰火災發放 Fire relief in Bangkok

Moving to Bangkok, Thailand, a blaze in a local community has left 65 residents homeless. Fortunately, Tzu Chi soon came to their aid with relief supplies, and the landlord also decided to waive three years” worth of rent.

鏡頭轉到泰國曼谷，當地一處社區發生火災，造成65人無家可歸，幸好慈濟帶著物資前來給予幫助，而地主也決定三年不收租金。


《 靜思語 》

With love, one will enjoy harmonious relations; with harmonious relations, there will be peace.

有愛則人和；人和就平安。


3. 日本轉送捐款 Helping those who helped others

Although it has been 5 months since the devastating tsunami in Japan, love continues to pour in for victims. One of them, Mr. Sato, is a resident in Iwate Prefecture, who died after saving 20 Chinese co-workers. Now one man from China wants to show his appreciation by helping out the family that Mr. Sato left behind. Let”s see how he did it with Tzu Chi”s help.

日本三一一海嘯過後五個多月，愛心還在延續，住在岩手縣的佐藤先生，當時救了二十位中國研修生後，自己卻不幸往生了，一位住在中國的先生，希望能幫助佐藤先生的家人，一起來看看他如何委託慈濟來完成他的善行。


4. 加油吧!氣仙沼(一) Returning to Shishiori

Staying in Japan, we now go to Kesennuma of Miyagi Prefecture, to see how survivors are faring in Shishiori District, one of the worst-affected areas in the tsunami.

今天我們回到日本宮城縣的重災區鹿折地區，看看311地震海嘯後居民的生活。


《 衲履足跡 》

Protect and Maintain
Building Hualien Tzu Chi General Hospital was a demanding experience, but it brought out the best in many people, who served with their hearts and souls to protect and maintain the new hospital. Tzu Chi people everywhere reached out their hands in support of Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital. Everyone worked in the same direction, to lay the way for this bodhisattva path.

主題：談護持
開示：為了建設花蓮慈院，歷經坎坷辛苦，不過也因為浮現許多人間菩薩，付出心血、力量護持建院。所有慈濟人共同伸出雙手，朝同一方向用力，同步踏上這條菩薩大道。


5. 四分之一世紀的感恩(1)：病人篇 Hualien TC hospital”s 25 years of service

From today, we bring you a new series of features on Tzu Chi”s 25 years of healthcare service to the people living in the less developed east coast of Taiwan. In the early years of Tzu Chi, through home visitations to the poor, Master Cheng Yen was deeply struck by the harsh reality of how illness had the power to impoverish a family. So on this day in 1986, the Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital opened, with a goal to deliver human-centered healthcare. We meet Zhu Chenfu(朱陳復), whose life was saved by the doctors at the hospital 21 years ago.

今天大愛新聞為您推出慈濟醫療志業在缺乏醫療設施的台灣東部，救濟貧病醫療拓展25年的專題。早期從慈善救貧經驗中，證嚴上人體會「因病而貧」，於是發願為籌建醫院，1986年的這一天，以病人為中心的花蓮慈濟醫院啟業，接著帶您來認識一位曾在21年前在花蓮慈濟醫院挽回一命的朱陳復。


6. 中懺舞台準備 Taichung gears up for Water Repentance

Staying in Taiwan, the Water Repentance musical production that toured Kaohsiung and Taipei will next open in Taichung this coming Friday, and will be held inside an inflatable dome. Sound and lighting have been set up, and dozens of smaller tents have also been erected around the dome to give the audience and performers a place to take a break before and during the show. In the next report, we find out the level of labor involved in setting up the lighting and sound equipment for the show.

繼高雄與台北之後，這個星期五，法譬如水經藏演繹即將在台中登場，將在充氣式小巨蛋裡面展演，燈光音響的設備陸續到位，小巨蛋外還有48個帳篷區，讓會眾和志工休息用的，接下來帶您看看，設置燈光音響所需投注的時間與人力。


7. 0817歷史的今天 On this day, the 17th of August

1945 End of Manchukuo
The puppet state, Manchukuo, established by Japan in 1932 with the last Qing Emperor, Puyi, as the ruling monarch came to an end on this day in 1945 as Puyi signed a dissolution declaration following the defeat of the Japanese Empire.

1986 The 1st Tzu Chi Hospital
After two groundbreaking ceremonies and two years of construction, The Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital finally opened its doors for business on this day in 1986. The groundbreaking ceremony for the Hualien Jing Si Hall was also held on the same day. In 2002, the hospital was promoted to the status of regional medical center by the government.

1998 Flood relief in Peru
In light of the massive flooding in Peru due to El Nino, Tzu Chi volunteers in Taiwan join their brethren in the US, Argentina, Paraguay and other countries to hold a week long distribution and multiple free clinics in the disaster area on this day in 1998. Tzu Chi would later help the flood victims with rebuilding their homes, which moved the government to install utility lines for these new homes.

Foreign laborers in Taiwan
Taiwanese businesses have been able to apply for a special permit to employ foreign workers since 1989. However the law pertaining to the employment and management of foreign laborers was not publicly announced until July of 1992, and on this day of the same year, 7,000 foreign home assistants were officially allowed to work in Taiwan.

Homes for Toraji victims
After Typhoon Toraji caused extensive damage to southeastern Taiwan, Tzu Chi decided to help Jianqing Village(見晴) of Hualien”s Wanrong(萬榮) Township erect 12 prefabs, which were completed and moved into on this day in 2001. As residents later found permanent homes, the homes were dismantled in 2003 and used to build the Hualien Tzu Chi recycling station.

歷史的今天，八月十七號。1945年，宣讀退位詔書，偽滿州國解散。由日本扶植清朝末代皇帝溥儀所成立的滿州國，隨著日本投降，在1945年這天，由溥儀宣讀退位詔書。

1986年，花蓮慈濟醫院落成啟用。歷經兩次動土，兩年施工，佛教慈濟綜合醫院1986的這天啟業，當天也舉辦靜思堂動土典禮；2002年，花蓮慈濟醫院升格為醫學中心，提升醫療服務。

1998年，祕魯水患，慈濟馳援。因為聖嬰現象導致秘魯發生大水，由台灣、美國、阿根廷，以及巴拉圭等地的慈濟志工，在1998年的這天匯合在災區，舉辦長達一星期的發放與義診，之後並協助居民重建新家，感動當地政府，為村子架設水電。

1992年，台灣勞動市場開放外籍幫傭。從1989年開始，台灣以專案方式引進外勞，直到1992年7月正式公告外國人聘僱許可及管理辦法，這天正式開放七千名外籍幫傭來台灣工作。

2001年，見晴大愛屋完工，歡喜入厝。東南台灣受到桃芝颱風重創，慈濟決定在花蓮萬榮鄉見晴村援建十二戶組合屋，2001年的這天完工入厝，後來隨著村民陸續搬遷，見晴大愛村在2003年拆除，組合屋建材回收再利用，興建花蓮環保站。


8. 慈濟秘魯賑災 Helping flood victims

Extreme weather due to El Nino from late 1997 till the beginning of 1998 caused extensive flooding to Peru in South America. Over 300 people died and nearly 70,000 families were affected. By May of 1998, Tzu Chi volunteers from North and South America began surveying the disaster areas. And on this day of the same year, they returned to hold free clinics and hand out supplies for about 2,000 families.

因為聖嬰現象所導致的氣候異常，從1997底到1998年初，在南美的祕魯引發嚴重的水災，至少造成三百餘人死亡，將近七萬戶家庭受災，結合北美與南美的志工，慈濟在1998年五月到祕魯實地勘查，在8月16號這一天，再度來到祕魯，展開義診與發放，幫助約兩千個家庭。
