1.屏東街友關懷
On Sunday, February 5th, which was the day before the Lantern Festival in Taiwan, Tzu Chi volunteers went to Zhongshan Park in Pingtung County to host a free clinic, with free haircut, for the homeless. 70-year-old Lin Xiuying(林秀英), who went for the services, donated half of what she had on her back to the foundation.

2月5日，周日在元宵節前夕，慈濟志工來到屏東中山公園，為遊民舉辦義診義剪，七十歲的林秀英也前來參予，當場把身上僅有錢的一半，捐出去做慈善。

2.多國會務報告(三)
Staying in Taiwan, during the recent training seminar held in Hualien for Tzu Chi volunteers from abroad, caregivers from Australia and New Zealand shared their experiences in flood and earthquake relief efforts that took place last year. The discussion proved to be invaluable for all the aid workers.

也是台灣的報導，每年海外的慈濟志工齊聚在台灣，參與營隊，分享彼此的經驗，澳洲及紐西蘭的志工，與大家分享，在去年澳洲發生水患，與紐西蘭發生地震後，慈濟的賑災工作過程。

3.慈青研習營
Another similar Tzu Chi workshop was held in Tainan, but was targeted at a younger age group. During the camp, Tzu Chi Collegiate Youth volunteers from the city learned more about Tzu Chi values, and also how to be more helpful when they return home.

另一個營隊的活動，在台灣台南舉辦，不過是慈青的活動，各地慈青學習生活禮儀，學習慈濟人文的同時，也學習回家後要幫做家事。

4.居關戶打掃
Tzu Chi care recipient Lan Jiansong藍健松 lives in Taichung”s Dali District. Recently, volunteers visited Lan”s partner, who is in hospital recovering from an illness. They also decided that before she got released from hospital, they would help clean up her home, thus giving her a fresh start.

藍健松是家住台中市大里區的慈濟居關戶，不久之前他的另一半生病住院，慈濟志工來到醫院，關心她的狀況，決定趕在她出院之前，幫忙打掃住家，給她一個新的開始。

《 靜思語 》
Do not belittle small amounts of money, for their sum can serve a great purpose. Do not develop a habit of lavish spending, for a thrifty and simple living is the key to abundance.

莫輕視小錢，積少成多能大用；勿養成揮霍，固本樸實顧元氣。

5.靈山法會不散
Over the weekend, a one-day seminar was conducted for Tzu Chi volunteers across Taiwan, using video conferencing to bring everyone together. Lecturers at the seminar made an appeal to the participants to not only follow Master Cheng Yen closely on the path to enlightenment, but also to put love into action and make a difference.

上個週末是全台慈濟志工的精進日，透過連線，全台志工一同精進，精進課程中也提到，慈濟人不只要跟著證嚴上人，攀爬須彌山，還要跟隨上人轉動須彌山。

6.法鼓心靈環保
Last weekend marked the third anniversary of the passing of Master Sheng Yen, the founder of Dharma Drum Mountain. Master Sheng Yen actively promoted the idea of the development of the spirit, in order to deal with a changing world and to discover true wisdom through the Dharma. At the memorial service, attendants, including Taiwanese government officials and prominent figures, signed a declaration in support of the Master”s Spiritual Preservation Movement.

上週末，時值法鼓山創辦人，聖嚴法師圓寂三週年，聖嚴法師生前提倡「心靈環保」，來面對生命的驟變，以及透過佛法，得到智慧，法鼓山邀請社會上有名望的代表，包括政治人物，簽屬心靈環保宣言，護持聖嚴法師的心靈運動。

7.菲職訓圓緣
In Manila, in the Philippines, students of Tzu Chi”s third career training program recently took part in their graduation ceremony. The students all felt empowered by the program that helped equip them with professional skills.

在菲律賓的馬尼拉，慈濟第三梯次職業訓練班，正舉辦著畢業典禮，透過職業訓練班，學員們找到人生的方向。

8.馬吳麗春
Wu Lichun(吳麗春) is the wife of a dialysis patient undergoing treatment at the Butterworth Tzu Chi Dialysis Center in Malaysia. To reciprocate Tzu Chi”s aid to her family, Wu Lichun decided to serve as a volunteer with the Foundation.

馬吳麗春是馬來西亞慈濟北海洗腎中心，一位腎友的太太，為了回饋慈濟對一家人的照顧，參加了見習志工的培訓。

《 衲履足跡 》談軟實力 On Soft Power
Soft power is the ability to harbor gratitude, respect and love for all those around you.

To do so, you must treat everyone as a relative or close friend - with the utmost sincerity and trust.

運用感恩、尊重、愛，待人處事溫和圓融，卻很有力量，是真實而柔軟的功夫；這分功夫來自於誠正信實的心念，對任何一個人都像至親、摯友一樣地誠懇。

9.澎湖慈青老人
Recently, Tzu Chings from Penghu Technology University visited a local nursing home, and their presence brought plenty of smiles to the seniors. Let”s take a look.

最近，澎湖科技大學慈青社的同學，利用假期到老人之家關懷長者，帶來歡樂，一起來看看。

10.360手工燈籠(一)
It”s lantern festival season in Taiwan, which means it”s a topical time to go to Lugang鹿港, to seek out some traditional lantern makers. The once booming business is now on the decline, as there are only two handmade lantern stores left in Lugang. One belongs to nationally acclaimed lantern-maker, Wu Dunhou. We went to the 70-year-old store, to meet the old master”s sons, who are carrying on the family tradition.

今天是台灣的元宵節，也是最好前往鹿港看，傳統燈籠的好地方，過去，這個行業在彰化很盛行，現在已經漸漸沒落；現在，在鹿港只剩下兩家燈籠店，其中一間，是國寶級燈籠大師吳敦厚創立的，現在帶大家到70年的老店，去看看繼承衣缽的兒子。

讓這個藝術繼續傳承下去

11.360手工燈籠(二)
The founder of the lantern store in Lugang that we just saw is Mr. Wu Dunhou, who has been making lanterns for a lifetime. The craftsman earned numerous awards from home and abroad. And although he is now 87 years old, Wu Dunhou has lost none of his youthful enthusiasm for painting lanterns.

剛剛認識了製作傳統燈籠的吳敦厚大師，文化國寶的大師，製作傳統燈籠超過大半輩子，榮獲國內外許多獎項，八十七歲高齡，仍然持續創作，也不藏私。

END：蘆洲提燈好話
Lanterns won”t disappear anytime soon as long as Lantern Festival is still celebrated. In Luzhou, Taipei, on the day of the festival Tzu Chi volunteers went around the community with lanterns and Jing Si aphorisms to mark a joyous end to the Lunar New Year. We”ll leave you with these images. Thank you for watching Da Ai Headlines. Goodbye.

元宵節的慶祝活動，還會一直持續下去，蘆洲慈濟志工在元宵節這一天，提著燈籠走上街頭，口說吉祥話祝福人，來慶祝元宵節，一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。(2012.02.07)
