1.澎湖元宵清掃
How did you spend your Chinese New Year vacation A group of students from National Taiwan University used their winter break rather productively, by staying on the offshore island of Penghu, to organize camps for children from local fishing villages, and, at the same time, also promote conservation, by giving local communities custom-made recycling bins, to kick start a neighborhood recycling program.

您的新年是怎麼度過的呢？一群台灣大學的學生，好好的利用寒假，到澎湖為小朋友舉辦營隊，也藉機推廣環保，他們特別訂製了資源回收桶，希望帶動村民一起愛護地球。

2.懺悔洪源興
Being a dialysis patient for nearly 24 years, did not stop Mr. Hong Yuanxing from Taiwan, staying on the Tzu Chi path. Mr. Hong”s advice is: ”don”t look at yourself as a patient, or else you will be unhappy.” While rehearsing for the Water Repentance sutra, due to his stiff joints, Hong often couldn”t bend his knees to kneel. He thought about quitting, but, gritted his teeth, saying: ”If I can still stand and walk, I mustn”t give up.”

長達二十四年的洗腎歲月，沒有擊垮洪源興做慈濟的決心，他說不要把自己當作病人，不然就會苦上加苦，參與入經藏的他 因為長年洗腎，始得膝蓋關節無法蹲跪，他曾一度想放棄，但是轉念，咬緊牙根，他告訴自己起碼可以站可以走，所以不可以放棄。

3.林麗月把握
Ten years ago, Tzu Chi volunteer Lin Liyue from Taichung City lost her daughter to leukemia. She was devastated until one day she saw the Jing Si aphorism: ”You do not have the right to own your life, only the right to use it.”

在台中的慈濟志工林麗月，十年前因為血癌失去了，至愛的大女兒，因此她過著渾渾噩噩的日子，直到有天看到靜思語，生命只有使用權沒有所有權，才讓她解開了心結。


《 靜思語 》
Love and cherish all the Earth”s resources with a heart of gratitude. A simple life is a life which lacks nothing.

用感恩心疼惜大地萬物，生活簡單就無缺。

4.多國會務報告(四)
As Tzu Chi”s overseas volunteer training seminar went into its 4th day, the delegation from the Philippines took to the stage, to share their experiences with their peers. Last year, the hard-working volunteers seized every opportunity to promote Tzu Chi”s missions, partner with local residents, and recruit new blood into the organization.

海外慈濟志工營隊進入第四天，由菲律賓慈濟志工分享，推動志業的經驗與心得，志工們把握每個機會，推廣慈濟理念與做法，也啟發了許多居民投入志工的行列。

5.巴生新春圍爐
Over in Malaysia, the port city of Kelang has a large overseas Chinese population. Tzu Chi volunteers recently held a special Chinese New Year celebration at the local environmental station, for their care recipients.

在馬來西亞的巴生，以華人居多，慈濟志工邀請照顧戶，來到巴生環保站，舉辦新春圍爐。

6.馬國娜嘉瑪
Staying in Malaysia for our next story, we meet 63-year-old mother of nine, Nagamman Kannan. Four of her children have learning disabilities and live at home. Nagamman”s husband has passed away, so she supports the family alone, and has little time to clean the house. That”s why Tzu Chi volunteers decided to help the widow.

接下來來到馬來西亞吉隆坡，一位63歲的慈濟照顧戶 娜嘉瑪，她和其中四個心智障礙的孩子住在一起，先生往生後，一家人經濟更是陷入困境，沒有餘力管理家務，慈濟志工決定幫忙這位婦女。

7.台灣人愛行善

Being there to help in difficult times, is something that benefits both the giver and the receiver. According to a recent survey of the happy people who do charity work in Taiwan, 19 percent volunteer their time, 39 percent donate money, while 44 percent help strangers. That ranks Taiwan 67th, out of 153 countries, on the World Giving Index. We went to meet some of Taiwan”s do-gooders.

能夠做好事 對人對自己都好，最近一份調查顯示，在台灣行善的人，有一成九當志工，三成九捐錢，四成四幫助陌生人，台灣在153個調查國家裡，總體行善指數，排名第六十七名，帶您認識一些台灣的善心人士。

《 衲履足跡 》談謙卑 On Humility

Merit comes from being able to exercise humility and courteousness.
Humility - which helps soften your edges and become more considerate of others - is the ultimate goal of self-cultivation.

內能自謙就是功，外能禮讓就是德，具有謙卑、縮小自己的功夫，在與人相處時就能禮讓，使事理圓融，而卑禮讓才是修行的真功夫。

8.360苑裡藺草(一)
Straw hats and bags are comfortable and attractive accessories, which are making a fashion comeback in Taiwan. Hats woven by hand with a local variety sedge grass, called ”triangle rush”, used to be hugely popular in the 1930s. The center of the cottage industry was Yuanli Township, in Miaoli County - where the local authorities have been reviving the tradition, with the help of some elderly women.

藺草編織的草帽很受歡迎，在台灣很具流行，用藺草手工編織草帽，海內外聞名，在1930年代廣受歡迎，苗栗苑裡藺草文化館，在一群婦女的協助下，讓藺草文化得以傳承和保留。

9.360苑裡藺草(二)
In our second story, on the triangle rush weavers of Yuanli, we meet another cultural ambassadors - 82-year-old Ms. Chen Hongshi. Like the seniors in our previous story, she also started weaving at a very young age, and has lost none of her enthusiasm for the traditional art.

接下來的第二則，苑裡藺草文化報導中，帶各位認識八十二歲陳紅柿，就像剛剛的報導提到，她從小就學藺草編織，現在依然對藺草編織，不失當時的興趣。

END：新店元宵環保
Back to lantern festival celebrations at the end of the show, as Tzu Chi volunteers in Taiwan joined in the fun in the Xindian district of Taipei. Community volunteers organized a street party, with entertainment based on an environmental theme. We”ll leave you with these images. Thank you for watching Da Ai Headlines. Goodbye.

節目最後回到元宵節的慶祝活動，慈濟志工走入新店社區，與里民一起同樂，志工與鄉里以環保理念為主，合辦元宵晚會，一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。(2012.02.08)
