1. 三浦議員見上人
Tzu Chi”s post disaster relief missions in Japan after the 3/11 disaster would not have happened so quickly and smoothly without the help of former Iwate Prefecture Assembly member Ms. Yoko Miura. On Wednesday, Ms. Miura visited Master Cheng Yen in Hualien, to thank the Tzu Chi foundation for its ceasless efforts to help her country rebuild after last year”s triple disaster.

2. 三一一愛接力(三)
In today”s installment of our series ”Power of Love” we return to Japan to hear the story of Tzu chi volunteer Harue Mochizuki, a Taiwanese immigrant in Japan. As Ms. Mochizuki”s husband is ill and is unable to work, the family lives constantly on the edge of poverty. However, Ms. Mochizuki still spends what little free time she has to help out at the Tokyo Tzu Chi Office.

《 靜思語 》
Sincerity in relationships begins with respect and gratitude.
對人虔誠，要尊重；對事虔誠，要感恩。
4. 360蠟燭(一)
In the olden days before the invention of electricity, candles were the main source of lighting at night. Over time, candles have grown out of their practical uses to become decorations, emergency lighting, and even an ambience enhancer. In our featured series on Taiwan”s weird and wonderful trades, today we look at a candle making factory in Miaoli that has time and again survived competition from home and abroad. Rather than relocating his business to China to cut down on costs, factory owner Chen Guosheng insisted on staying in Taiwan, and found new opportunities for his business by turning his plant into a tourist attraction.
說到蠟燭，在早期社會都是用於一般照明，但隨著科技發達，現在的蠟燭大部分都當作擺設、停電時的備用照明，或是用來增進氣氛。台灣真情臉譜中，在苗栗有一家蠟燭工廠，面臨事業上一次又一次的打擊，老闆不放棄，克服難關，也從沒想過要把工廠外移，堅持根留台灣，還將工廠轉型為觀光工廠，期盼為傳統產業注入新活力。
5. 360蠟燭(二)
Chen Guosheng”s candle plant in fact started out as a glass factory that took a completely different turn after a client requested that he put candles into glass containers, some 30 years ago. Over the years, Chen”s business bobbed up and down against the competition, but he persevered, and always found a way to overcome his challenges. The self-made 67-year-old has an unconquerable spirit that he hopes to pass on to his son to keep their family business alive.
陳國盛的工廠一開始是做玻璃，後來改做蠟燭，只因在30年前一位客戶請他將蠟燭灌入玻璃容器中，這些年來雖然生意有好有壞，但是他堅持到底，總是能克服困難。白手起家，67歲的陳國盛，不放棄的精神，希望能傳承給兒子，延續這份家庭事業。
《 衲履足跡 》
Paving the Way
A spiritual cultivation ground should help pave the way to enlightenment accessible to all. In Taiwan, Tzu Chi”s place of origin, volunteers call on citizens to reflect on themselves and empower the world to make a difference.
主題：談鋪路
開示：道場，就是鋪出一條讓大家都能走的路；慈濟從台灣發祥，志工密布全台，以誠懇之心投入。呼籲人人深切大懺悔，相互勉勵與警惕。期望從台灣啟動，帶動全球。
6. 瓜地馬拉浴佛
Last year, Guatemala was hit by severe flooding after days of heavy rain. To help the victims, volunteers held several relief distributions, which touched the hearts of many. Recently, on Buddha Day, local residents showed up at Tzu Chi”s celebrations to pray for a world without disasters.
去年瓜地馬拉因為大雨，遭受水災衝擊，為了幫助災民度過難關，慈濟志工舉行了多次發放，慈濟志工的舉動感動許多人，在浴佛節上，大家聚在一起，祈求天下無災難。
7. 星實業家圖案
The Tzu Chi Buddha Day ceremony in Singapore saw nearly 10,000 people. 1,700 volunteers came together to present various Buddhist patterns in group formations. Some of these performers were medical personnel or entrepreneurs who took time out from their tight schedules to help spread the positive message behind Buddha Day.
新加坡的浴佛典禮上，今年有將近一萬人參與，其中有超過1700人參與圖案的排列，而且部分是人醫會醫護人員和實業家，一一排除萬難，要在這一天 將佛法傳播出去。
8. 浴佛許淑雲
This year”s Mother”s Day is a special one for Tzu Chi volunteer Xu Shuyun (許淑雲)who was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, while she was taking part in the musical rendition of the Water Repentance Sutra. After receiving chemotherapy, Xu made a full recovery and was able to attend the recent Buddha Day ceremony.
今年的母親節，對慈濟志工許淑雲來說是一個溫馨的日子，去年參加水懺演繹期間，她被檢查出罹患乳癌，經過半年多的化療，才終於在今年初恢復健康，讓她能參加今年的浴佛典禮。
9. 蘇州浴佛張滔
At the Tzu Chi Buddha Day ceremony in Suzhou, China, volunteer Zhang Tao braved the recent loss of her beloved husband to join the celebrations. In the past, the couple used to volunteer happily together. Now, though her husband is no longer around, Zhang knows that he is with her in spirit, as she continues to serve Tzu Chi.
在中國蘇州，張滔和先生陳茂亮曾一起開心做志工，但是此景不再，先生往生後，她知道他先生的心與她同在，她會持續行走菩薩道。
