1.100(3)模擬大體啟用 3rd Silent Mentor class

But we start today”s show in Hualien, Taiwan, where the third class of simulated operations, this year, started at Tzu Chi University, yesterday. At half-past-six in the morning, relatives of the eight full-body donors, together with medical students, were led through a ceremony, by Buddhist nuns from the Jing Si Abode. The class will go on for four days.

節目一開始,帶大家到台灣花蓮,慈濟大學100學年度第三梯次模擬手術教學,昨天開始展開四天的課程,清晨六點半,八位大體老師的家屬們與慈大醫學院學生,在精舍師父的帶領下,舉行啟用儀式,課程會持續四天。


2.世紀泰水劫(3) Flood health hazards

In Thailand, filthy flood water, which has troubled the country for over four months, is spreading communicable diseases, and endangering public health. Some of the hazards include dengue fever, diarrhea, leptospirosis, typhoid fever and skin infections. In response, the government plans to produce 840,000 so-called effective microorganism balls, which will be tossed into the festering pools, in the hope that the beneficial microbes will purify the water. Opinion is divided on whether EM balls will be effective. Meanwhile, although floods continue to recede in some areas, hospitals are in danger of running out of medical supplies, and new shipments are nowhere in sight.

泰國大水超過四個月,正散播著細菌,影響居民的健康,有些人出現登革熱、拉肚子、細菌感染、發燒以及皮膚病的症狀,政府單位決定製作出,84萬顆的微生物球,希望能有效淨化汙水,而在大水開始消退的同時,當地的醫院也可能面臨醫療物資不足,又無法得到補給的窘境。


《靜思語》

Natural disasters cannot be avoided, but good thoughts can help mitigate disasters.

天災無法抗拒,善念卻能消弭災難。


3.北緯38度(6) Different interpretation

To help mitigate the recent natural disasters in North Korea, Tzu Chi sent an aid relief team to the country, to distribute food to struggling villagers. One of the members of the team was 72-year-old volunteer, Cui Meixian. A fluent speaker of Korean, she acted as the interpreter for the team. She also helped break the ice, wherever she went.

為了幫助北朝鮮受災民眾,慈濟賑災團隊來到這裡,為鄉親帶來物資援助,在這次賑災團隊伍中,有一位七十二歲的慈濟志工崔美仙,熟悉北朝鮮話的她,全程擔任翻譯,不論她走到何處,都能帶來歡笑。


4.廣東廈門助學 Helping students continue studies

From North Korea to China, where Tzu Chi volunteers in Guangdong and Fujian recently organized scholarship distributions to help needy students continue their studies. But, Tzu Chi”s support does more than just keep children in school. The young pupils promise to give back to charity in the future, in return for the help that they are receiving today.

鏡頭從北朝鮮轉到中國,慈濟志工在中國廣東與福建,分別舉辦了助學金發放,幫助清寒學子持續就學,在多年的幫助之下,愛的種子已經深根孩子的心裡
並且他們都發願 要將這份愛傳出去


5.深圳堆素食 Vegetarianism in Shenzhen

International Vegetarian Day, is celebrated on the 25th of November, in Asian countries. Tzu Chi volunteers in China”s Guangdong Province came together, to organized an event in Shenzhen, to promote a healthy meatless diet, with the public. After the activity was over, the participants said they would help spread the word to their families and friends.

在亞洲,11月25號是國際素食日,為了推廣健康的素食料理,在中國廣東慈濟志工一起於深圳鵬益會所,向當地居民推廣素食,在活動過後,許多居民都發願要將素食也推廣給身邊的人。

父母有父母的辛勞,也有他們本身的問題,不要過於埋怨父母;能開闊心胸予以善解,勤奮、努力,回報辛苦撫養自己的長輩,也回饋社會,才是自愛的好人生。

7.創意再生家具 Let furniture live on

At a reused furniture factory, owned by the Changhua Department of Environmental Protection, in central Taiwan, the small team of carpenters, have been joined by architecture and interior design students from Da-Yeh University. The gifted young people had some fresh ideas, to turn old furniture into new products.

彰化縣環保局的再生家具工廠,通常只有幾個木工師傅,承擔回收家具的整修工作,不過現在有一群年輕人加入,因為環保局和大葉大學的空間設計系建教合作,讓學生們能夠把環保創意實體化。
