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。

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。


8. 0822歷史的今天 On this day, the 23rd of August

1948 5,000,000 yuan note
The largest ever denomination banknote issued by the Central Bank of China, worth 5 million yuan, went into circulation on this day in 1948. During the civil war between the nationalists and communists, a rush for gold and foreign currencies led to hyperinflation. The huge banknote lasted 10 months before it was discontinued.

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. In two hours, over 40,000 shells were fired. After the intervention of the United States, the PLA announced a ceasefire in October, putting an end to the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis.

1989 Baltic Way
Around 2 million people formed a human chain stretching 600km through the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, in a peaceful demonstration for independence. Six months after the protest, Lithuania became the first republic to declare independence from the Soviet Union.

1992 Dallas TC office
Tzu Chi volunteers Cheng Yirong(程一蓉), Xu Peihua(徐佩華) and others introduced Tzu Chi to the Texas public on this day in 1992, before formerly opening the Dallas Liaison Office. Offering further charitable services to the local community, in 2008, the office would be upgraded to a chapter.

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. On this day, Tzu Chi volunteers, helped by local 4x4 clubs, set up mountain rescue teams, to deliver food and bedding to indigenous peoples, living 2,300m above sea level. 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。

1989年,波羅的海之路和平訴求獨立,大約200萬人牽手組成一條超過600公里的人鏈,穿過波羅的海的愛沙尼亞,拉脫維亞以及立陶宛等三個國家,以和平的方式爭取獨立,六個月之後,立陶宛脫離蘇聯成為獨立國家。

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。
