1.菲先前抵達 Volunteers arrive at Mindanao

We start today”s show in the Philippines, where on Monday, December 26th, 30 Tzu Chi volunteers from Manila arrived in the storm-hit cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan on Mindanao Island, to get ready for the upcoming distributions of the 28th and 29th. On December 16th, when Typhoon Washi struck Mindanao, over 1,000 people were killed, and many more are still missing. Volunteers quickly got to work, conducting a survey of the disaster areas in Iligan.

一開始到菲律賓,12月26號星期一 ,30位菲律賓慈濟志工從馬尼拉進入了民答那峨島上,遭風災重創的卡加延德羅市跟伊里甘市,準備在28號跟29號要進行發放,12月16號瓦西颱風襲擊民答那峨島,造成超過一千人死亡,更多人失蹤,志工抵達後馬上開始行動,再度前往伊里甘市重災區勘災。


2.福州發放 Winter relief in Fuzhou

In China”s Fujian province, Tzu Chi volunteers are continuing their annual winter distributions, recently arriving in the mountains of Fuzhou. In Dahu and Yangli townships, volunteers handed out supplies to 1,049 families. The event was covered by reporters from a local television station.

慈濟在中國福建省的冬令發放,來到了福州的山區,在大湖鄉和洋里鄉,總共發放了1049戶,而當地的一間電視臺也全程跟拍。


3.四川關懷團 Winter aid distribution in Sichuan

In Sichuan, volunteers are preparing to make winter warmer for local residents at the distribution this weekend. Since the earthquake three years ago, volunteers from Taiwan inspired many survivors to join Tzu Chi. And this year, the local volunteers are organizing the aid mission.

在中國四川,當地志工為了這個周末的冬令發放做準備,自從3年前的地震,來自台灣的慈濟志工,一直陪伴當地居民,並啟發許多人投入志工的行列,今年當地志工承擔起發放的策劃與準備工作。


《 靜思語 》

To humble oneself and engage in recycling work is true elimination of the ego.

能放下身段,彎下腰做資源回收,是真正的去我相、滅我執。


4.北朝鮮(1)慈濟發放 Short but sweet

Tzu Chi”s recent aid mission to North Korea started last month, with the first shipment of parboiled rice, cooking oil and milk powder to disaster-hit villagers. This month, volunteers went back, to hand out more rice, to a total of 140,000 households, of over 440,000 people. The mission was cut short by the death of Kim Jung-il. In our next story, we bring you pictures of day-1 of the distribution, which took place before the announcement.

慈濟基金會繼上個月前往北朝鮮四個郡發放大米、食用油、奶粉之後,這個月再一次造訪發放後續的米糧,總計提供14萬戶家庭,44萬多人糧食援助,接下來的報導,帶大家看看,國家宣告前,第一天的發放。


《 衲履足跡 》On Blessings and Kindness 談福與善

The Buddha once said, ”Enter my door and you will not be poor. Remain outside and you will not prosper.” If we do not do good deeds, we will not accumulate blessings.
With the heart to give comes blessings. Regardless of the number of people we help, if we are sincere, we will bring blessings on ourselves.

佛陀說『入我門不貧,出我門不富』,不去做也無法增加慈善基金,有心就有福,只要起一念誠懇的善念,無論救助多少窮苦人,各人自然會帶來各人的福。


5.馬六甲歲末 Christmas with a difference

At the year-end blessing ceremony in Malacca, Malaysia, volunteers put on an ambitious performance of the Water Repentance sutra on Christmas Day. A total of 4,000 people came to see the show. Many of the audience were touched by what they saw, and some were even inspired to take action. One man said he would not buy a car with leather seats after watching the play. Among the 530 performers was one Catholic woman, who said she had never spent Christmas surrounded by so many Buddhists.

慈濟馬六甲分會2011歲末祝福,於十二月二十五日耶誕節圓滿進行,當天也是《法譬如水》經藏演繹,這一天與四千位民眾結善緣,有些民眾看了很感動,有些將感動化為行動,都明白經文含義,其中一位看了演出的觀眾,就表示不買汽車皮椅了,在530位入經藏者中,就有天主教徒的參與,也表示與很多的佛教徒一起度過不一樣的耶誕節。


6.馬瑪琳愛灑 Tea gatherings introduce Tzu Chi

In the run-up to their performance of Water Repentance in Malacca, local Tzu Chi volunteers held a series of tea gatherings, to introduce the public to the organization, and encourage residents to join the sign-language and musical production of the Buddhist sutra. Volunteers in the Malim neighborhood held eight tea parties, and managed to sign up 36 people to join the show. The new recruits also agreed to volunteer their time to do environmental and charity work.

配合2011年底的歲末祝福,慈濟馬六甲分會志工積極舉辦愛灑茶會,藉此邀約民眾參加,《法譬如水》經藏演繹,三個月舉辦八場愛灑活動,接引了36位民眾一起入經藏,還參加了訪視與環保。

8.海地辣木農場 Planting Miracle Trees for Haiti

In Haiti, Tzu Chi is encouraging residents to plant the Moringa, or Miracle Tree, as it is also known. The tree could help solve the food shortage problem in the country. Recently, five US volunteers sacrificed their Christmas holidays, and flew the quake-hit Caribbean country, to help local volunteers establish their first ever Moringa Great Love Farm. The team chose the nearby area of Silbert, near Port au Prince, as the location for the farm, so volunteers from the capital could easily make the trip to the plantation.

在海地,慈濟志工推廣辣木種植的計劃,來協助解決食物短缺的問題,最近慈濟美國總會組成了五個人的小團隊,利用耶誕假期回到海地,和海地志工一同推動慈濟,在海地的第一座大愛辣木農場,慈濟志工特別選在鄰近太子港的希爾伯特設立辣木農場,讓居住在太子港的海地志工,能夠天天到農場工作。


9.海地耶誕送禮 A very special Christmas

In addition to their work at the Moringa Great Love Farm in Silbert, Tzu Chi volunteers also took some time to visit a nearby orphanage, as well as the prefabricated community of Neuve, which they set up in June. For both visiting and local volunteers the events of the day made it a very special Christmas.

除了建立大愛辣木農場,志工們也選在耶誕假期,再度拜訪神之家孤兒院,也特地前往拜訪六月份捐贈搭建簡易屋的紐易夫社區,慈濟志工和海地居民一同度過別具意義的耶誕節。
