1.肯塔基再勘

We start today”s show in the United States, where seven Tzu Chi volunteers from Illinois and Ohio visited Kentucky to carry out a disaster survey in the communities devastated by a series of twisters that hit the state in the beginning of March. Volunteers arrived in West Liberty, which was almost completely leveled by the tornadoes. Seeing the scale of the devastation, the survey team said they hope to distribute aid to the victims as soon as possible.

節目一開始來到美國，七位來自美國伊利諾州和俄亥俄州的慈濟志工，前往肯塔基州勘災，三月初當地因龍捲風肆虐，整個西自由村房子幾乎全毀，看到這嚴重災情，志工們希望能加快後續發放工作。

2.回家之路(2)高田醫院

It has been one year since Japan”s 3/11 disaster. 340,000 people are now living in prefabricated homes. Though survivors may now have places to stay, they still have difficulties getting their needs fulfilled. For example in Iwate Prefecture”s Rikuzentakata City, not one hospital was left standing after the disaster, forcing some 20,000 survivor to travel to Ofunato City to seek medical aid. Thankfully, Dr. Mikito Ishiki of the Takata Hospital had the foresight to rebuild immediately, and his hospital is now safeguarding the health of the city”s residents.

日本三一一大地震至今一年了，如今還有三十四萬人住在組合屋裡，雖然居住的環境有改善，但居民的生活中還是有很多不便，例如岩手縣的陸前高田市，在災後一間醫院都沒有留下來，也因此存活下來的兩萬多人，必須前往鄰近的大船渡市看醫生，還好高田醫院的院長石木幹人，堅持馬上重建醫院，如今再度守護這裡的居民。

3.日本(五)重心啟動

One of the Tzu Chi volunteers who is working behind the scenes for the recovery process in Japan is Wensi Sakurai. Known to her friends as ”Asi”, the Taiwanese born woman cares for her Japanese husband at home, who was badly injured in a road accident, but somehow manages to find time to volunteer for Tzu Chi. She used to be a heavy smoker and drinker, and enjoyed gambling. One time she stayed at the card table for five days and four nights solid, until her feet were so swollen she couldn”t put on her high heels. Now she”s walking a different path in Tzu Chi. The indomitable woman refused to be knocked back by her husband”s accident, and has learned how to help him through physiotherapy at home.

為日本協助災後復原的慈濟志工，是櫻井文絲，朋友稱她是阿絲，台灣出生的文絲師姊，因為先生車禍行動不便，必須每天照顧丈夫的生活，但是還是找出時間做慈濟，以前他菸酒不離手，又愛賭博，有一次賭上五天四夜，腳都浮腫了，無法穿高跟鞋走出去。現在她行走菩薩道，做慈濟，這位堅強的婦女，不因為先生車禍，而向命運低頭，還自己學習如何在家幫丈夫做復健。

《 衲履足跡 》談日本地震 On the March 11th Japan Earthquake

In the face of the earthquake that happened on March 11, 2011, the Japanese people remained calm, composed and united, which was broadcast throughout the whole world by the media. They have set an example for us all, and people should repent as disasters descend upon us.

日本民眾以冷靜、沈著、團結，全民互助且高度自制的形態，透過媒體傳播，其面對大災難的精神值得學習。全球民眾，面對大災難，必須徹底反省、徹底覺悟。

4.愛在花東縱谷(一)

Some of the amature performers who joined the recent Water Repentance stage show in Hualien were medical staff from different branches of Tzu Chi Genera lHospital. Despite being some distance away from Hualien, Yuli and Guanshan medical staff seized the opportunity to participate, and made the time, out of their busy schedules, to rehearse for the show.

這次水懺演繹，有來自醫療志業體系的同仁參加，即使距離花蓮有點遙遠，玉里與關山慈院的同仁，都把握機會參加並練習，讓人好奇的是，這群忙碌的醫護人員，是如何利用時間練手語，讓我們一起來看看。

5.水懺三代

Next, we meet three generations of the same family who participated in the Water Repentance sutra in Hualien last weekend. Tzu Chi Elementary School first grader, Luo Weizhe羅暐哲, was joined by his parents, who both work for Tzu Chi, and his grandmother, who joined the so-called ”Aura of Great Love” team for the show.

接下來我們來認識一家人都投入，上周在花蓮法譬如水經藏演繹，就讀花蓮慈大附小一年級的羅暐哲，爸媽都在慈濟志業體上班，而阿嬤也參加大愛之光的演出。

6.水懺台南慈中

In Tainan Tzu Chi School, 12 teachers and staff who were Tzu Chings during their university days, joined the recent performance of the Water Repentance sutra. While rehersing for the musical adaptation of the Buddhist text, they learned all about teamwork.

在臺南慈濟中小學，有12位老師和同仁，大學時期就參加慈青，今年全數參加了水懺演繹，從練習的過程，大家學習到團隊精神，菩提道心也更堅定。

《 靜思語 》

The three desirable qualities of a senior citizen are: a lifetime of experience, good health, and the willingness to volunteer and share.

老來有「三好」：經驗豐富好、健康長壽好、走入社會當志工更好。

7.紐約大衛迪歐

The New York branch of Tzu Chi, recently held a concert in Flushing Town Hall to raise funds for international aid work, and highlight the importance of conservation. The night”s main attraction was Israeli singer, David D”Or who is currently touring the United States. D”Or, who also went on to perform in Los Angeles, once again brought down the house, making it a memorable night for everyone.

慈濟紐約分會，在法拉盛市政廳，舉行慈善音樂會，為全球飢荒賑災募款，希望提醒世人節約，音樂會邀請正在美國巡迴演唱，以色列聲樂家大衛迪歐來演唱，下一站還要到洛杉磯 繼續為愛而唱，要再次用歌聲感動觀眾。

Finally, at the Tzu Chi Academy in Toronto, Canada, students learned how to turn Chinese characters into creative pictures. We”ll leave you with these images. Thank you for watching Da Ai Headlines. Goodbye.

最後來看，加拿大溫哥華慈濟人文學校，學生學做中文字創意造型繪圖，帶您一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。(2012.03.14)
