1.花蓮浴佛

On Sunday, May 13, Tzu Chi”s global tri-celebration of Buddha Day, Mother”s Day and Global Tzu Chi Day began in Hualien, Taiwan, where 3,648 dharma masters, volunteers, and Tzu Chi Foundation staff came together for a formal ceremony at the local Jing Si Hall. From bird”s eye view, the participants stood in Bodhi leaf and dharma vessels formations. The night before the celebration, many volunteers stayed up and worked till the early hours to put the finishing touches on the venue. We now join the ceremony in Hualien, the first in this year”s global celebration, where Master Cheng Yen was also present to observe the Buddhist festival.

5月13日是佛誕節，母親節以及全球慈濟日，三節合一的日子，全球首場浴佛大典，在花蓮靜思堂展開，現場由3648位法師、志工、志業體同仁，組成法船及菩提葉圖騰，浴佛大典前，一群志工徹夜守護，趁著大眾抵達會場前，做好最後的布置，帶您一起來到花蓮浴佛大典。


2.中夏綠地+鳳山浴佛

Large scale Buddha Day celebrations are also taking place in Taichung and Kaohsiung. In Taichung, nearly 8,000 people were present, including local government officials. Meanwhile, at the Fengshan Tzu Chi Chapter in Kaohsiung, many volunteers brought along their entire family for the annual celebration early in the morning.

台中與高雄，也同步舉辦浴佛典禮，台中市七期夏綠地的場次，參與人數將近八千人，有政府官員也前來參加，而在高雄地區，慈濟鳳山分會，慈濟志工與他們的家人，起了一大早來參加浴佛節。


3.加三市浴佛

Before we bring you more Buddha Day reports from around the world in the next couple of days, today we have one from Canada, where a joint Buddha Day ceremony was held for residents from the cities of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody. Coquitlam”s mayor Richard Steward also came to the event.

接下來幾天，我們還會帶大家看看全球浴佛的相關報導，不過，我們先跟著加拿大的慈濟志工，與高貴林市、高貴林港市以及滿地寶市的居民，一起參加的浴佛活動。


4.菲浴佛黃秀珠
In the Philippines, businesswoman Huang Xiuzhu decided to make donations to Tzu Chi after she saw news reports of Buddha Day ceremony and posters about the event. Although she is a Christian, she said there is no religious difference when it comes to supporting good deeds.

黃秀珠是做麵粉生意的老闆娘，在看了報紙，又看到志工張貼的海報後，決定要捐款，雖然她本身是基督徒，但她說只要都是為善，就沒有宗教之分。


《 靜思語 》

Wisdom is cultivated by freeing our minds from distractions, and adopting an optimistic and pragmatic attitude in all that we do.

心無雜念、凡事樂觀、踏實做事，就會有智慧。


5.北幼兒謝母恩

May 13th is also Mother”s Day. Recently the Taiping Elementary School Kindergarten in Taipei, in cooperation with Tzu Chi, held a Mother”s Day event for parents, where children served their parents tea and cookies before giving them hugs and kisses to thank them for their support. Both parents and children learned that it is never too early or late to say ”I love you.”

5月13日是母親節，最近台北太平國小附設幼稚園，與慈濟合作，有一場母親節活動，活動中，孩子奉茶給家長，加上一個擁抱和一個吻，從孩子身上，家長也學到愛要及時說出口。


6.不一樣母親(一)

We now introduce you to a very special group of women who, despite being advanced in age, have extended their motherly love to bring their community closer together. They are the women of Shanlin Da Ai Community, in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

現在為您介紹一群與眾不同的母親，儘管年紀已大，他們在社區分享母愛，拉近鄰里間的距離，他們就是高雄杉林大愛園區的媽媽。


7.馬水災發放

In Malaysia, early in the morning on May 7th, a flood occurred in Batang Kali, in the north of Kuala Lumpur, after a river flooded due to nonstop heavy downpour the night before. The low lying areas around the river were almost instantly submerged. As local residents were sound asleep when the flood struck, most of them fled their homes without taking along any valuables or belongings. Two days later, Tzu Chi volunteers from Kuala Lumpur arrived at the inundated village, and completed a thorough disaster survey, and the distribution of emergency cash and blankets, all within just a few hours.

馬來西亞吉隆坡北部的峇冬加里，5月7日清晨，因為一夜大雨，導致河水突然暴漲，多個低窪地區頓時變成水鄉澤國，由於大水來得突然，大部分的居民還在睡夢中，因此來不及收拾家當，匆忙逃離，兩天後，馬來西亞雪隆慈濟志工，來到水患災區，迅速的動員，完成勘察、登記和發放急難物資的工作。


8.雪隆企業推素

The Tzu Chi-Kuala Lumpur/Selangor Chapter in Malaysia began its meatless lunch campaign at 36 companies in March 2011. We find out in the next report what positive effects the campaign has on the company staff.

慈濟馬來西亞雪隆分會，自2011年三月份，開始走入36家企業宣導素食午餐，接下來的報導中，帶您了解，在職場中帶動善念的正面影響。


《 衲履足跡 》談自愛 On self-love

Committing suicide is a form of killing. Be grateful to your parents for giving you life, cherish it, and make good use of it to create more blessings. To love yourself is a way to repay your parents” love.

雖不害人命，但「自殺傷自身」同樣是殺生。身體髮膚受之父母，不敢毀傷。因此，要照顧好自己的身體健康，多造福、不要自我傷害，自愛就是報恩。


9.生命告白(4)黃炫甄

In the final part of Life”s Revelations, we went to an animal shelter to speak to a staff who offers a thought provoking view on why animals deserve the same respect and rights that humans enjoy. Huang Xuanzhen is a young woman who works at the Animal Protection Association in Taiwan. Her daily routine includes cleaning, feeding and training stray dogs, which, in the eyes of many, is a laborious and often thankless job. Many people have wondered why a college-graduate like her has chosen this path. We hear what the animal lover has to say.

生命告白系列最後一段，我們帶大家到動物收容所，與其中一名在這裡的員工，一起來探討看待動物生靈的生命價值。黃炫甄在保護動物協會工作，主要的工作，就是每天清掃訓練和餵食流浪狗，這些工作相當吃重勞累，工作環境也當然不比一般的上班族，好多人包括他父母問她，為什麼一個大學畢業的女孩子，要選擇做這個工作，原來這蘊藏著，她對動物生命價值的獨到見解。

At the end of the show, we bring you more Buddha Day footage from Tzu Chi Hospitals in Taiwan”s Taipei, Taichung and Dalin, where thousands of medical staff, patients, as well as local volunteers enjoyed a stately ceremony to commemorate Buddha”s birthday.
