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。
