1.俄亥俄發放

First up, in March, the US state of Ohio was devastated by tornadoes. Although Tzu Chi volunteers conducted a disaster survey in the hard-hit village of Moscow, the extent of the devastation meant they were unable to find a venue to hold the distribution. On May 5th, volunteers returned to Moscow to hand out cash cards, daily necessities and hugs to residents.

首先，美國俄亥俄州，三月初遭受龍捲風肆虐，慈濟志工雖然在災後立即前往災情嚴重的莫斯科市勘災，不過發放工作，卻遲遲找不到發放場地，在5月5日，慈濟志工終於重返莫斯科，發放毛毯和現值卡給受災的災民。


2.澳內陸義診

Trying their best to reach out to the needy, Tzu Chi volunteers in Australia are also doing that by holding free clinics in the town of Tara, in Queensland, with or without funding from the government. Volunteers in Brisbane canvassed donations to put together the latest 3-day Tzu Chi dental clinic in Tara. One local nurse also offered great help by finding a venue for the much-awaited health event.

盡全力要幫助貧窮的人，澳洲慈濟志工不管有無政府資金的援助，依舊前往位於內陸的塔拉鎮，進行牙科義診，所有費用設法募款，在所有費用設法募款，在塔拉鎮舉辦三天的義診，也得到社區醫院護士的協助，能夠租借到場地，解決民眾牙痛的苦。


《 靜思語 》

Engage in positive speech, refrain from gossiping.

好話多說，是非不談。


3.熱食護士節

International Nurses Day is celebrated on May 12th in Taiwan. At Dalin Tzu Chi hospital, Tzu Chi volunteers and patients” family members came together to prepare delicious food to thank the nurses for their hard work.

在台灣，5月12日是護師節，在大林慈濟醫院，為了感恩辛苦的護理人員，慈濟志工和病患家屬一起親手準備美味佳餚。


4.護理長廊揭幕

Meanwhile, Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital is also celebrating International Nurses Day by handing out awards to nurses for their oustanding work, as well as dedicating a corridor to exhibit the profiles of each award winner.

為了慶祝周六 512國際護師節，花蓮慈濟醫院用表揚獲獎的護理同仁以及舉辦「護理之光長廊」揭幕儀式，來感謝護理師們的付出。


5.志為護理陳儀芳

Also at Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital, we meet Chen Yifang, a nurse who chose to serve needy patients in remote eastern Taiwan instead of looking for better job opportunities in bigger cities.

繼續來看花蓮慈濟醫院，護理師陳儀芳，她放棄到大城市發展的機會，反而是選擇留在偏遠的東部地區，服務貧苦病患。


6.台北慈院七周年(2)節能獎第一

The Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital, now seven years old, is best known for its energy saving efforts. One of the best ways to be energy efficient, as the hospital”s engineers can tell you, is to fine tune the air conditioning units several times a day so that they perform at optimal efficiency. In doing so, over the past five years, the hospital has saved around 170,000 USD annually on electricity bills.

台北慈濟醫院七歲了，院內最大的特色之一，就是節能減碳的措施，要如何節約能源，醫院的工程師的方法，就是不斷調節冷氣機內部溫度，充分發揮主機效能，過去五年來，創造平均每年可省下17萬美元的電費。


《 衲履足跡 》談持戒 On Keeping The Precepts

Tzu Chi volunteers need to abide by Tzu Chi”s ten precepts. If we have a healthy lifestyle we don”t need to be disciplined. The purpose of the ten percepts is to eliminate bad habits and to protect our physical and spiritual health.

慈濟人須遵守慈濟十戒，若懂得健康生活，也不需要設戒，因為無從犯戒。之所以有此十戒，是為了改正，被後天環境污染而養成的不良習慣，進而保護身心健康。


7.生命告白(2)蔡亥豪

In our series on Life”s Revelations, today we speak to sixth grader, Cai Haihao. Though his father has oral cancer and diabetes and his mother suffers severe depression, Haihao has stepped up to the plate to take care of family chores while still attending school. He was recently recognized by the Taiwan Fund for Children and Families for his dedication to his parents. Even though Haihao”s classmates often ridicule him about his ”dysfunctional family”, the mature boy is grateful for all he has.

今天的生命告白系列報導，我們來傾聽國小六年級蔡亥豪的告白，雖然父親罹患口腔癌又併發糖尿病，媽媽又患有重度憂鬱症，亥豪勇於承擔家務，同時兼顧學業，最近還被家扶基金會選拔為自強兒童，儘管曾經因為家裡的狀況被同學嘲笑，穩健成熟的亥豪還是心懷感恩。


8.馬八分飽人物

The next story takes us to Selangor, Malaysia, to meet Xiao Yaxian (蕭亞賢), whose exemplary frugalness is a result of poverty in her childhood years. A story she saw on Da Ai TV about poor Burmese farmers who give away rice to the needy has prompted Xiao and her family to lead an even simpler lifestyle.

接下來的故事，帶大家認識馬來西亞雪蘭莪的蕭亞賢，自小生活貧困而養成節儉的習慣，蕭亞賢受到大愛台緬甸農民捐米的故事感動，蕭亞賢一家五口，更加積極的落實間單生活的精神。


9.浴佛駱美利

Moving to Taiwan, teacher Luo Meili was a rebellious young woman, who once traveled abroad without notifying her parents. The result? Silent treatment from her father for three years. Now a volunteer at Tzu Chi Teachers Association, as Meili rehearsed for the Buddha Day ceremony, she regrets her past behaviors and hopes to honor her parents through service work.

鏡頭轉到台灣，在台北市擔任老師的駱美利，年輕的時候非常叛逆，曾經瞞著父母親一個人到海外旅行，父親氣得三年不跟她說話，現在她成為教聯會的老師，並在今年的浴佛大典上擔任志工，她懺悔自己的行為，希望能回報父母恩。
