1. 台北浴佛大典+外交使節浴佛+法師浴佛
This past Sunday, May 13th, was not only Mother”s Day but also Tzu Chi”s Buddha Day and Global Tzu Chi Day. Across the globe, Tzu Chi offices in 34 countries held a total of 326 ceremonies which were attended by over 300,000 people. We now take you to the celebration at Taipei”s Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, where about 30,000 people participated in three rounds of ceremonies. The event was also attended by dharma masters, community leaders, government officials, and foreign dignitaries.

這個禮拜天五月13號，不止是母親節，也是佛誕節與全球慈濟日，全球34個國家裡的慈濟會所，一共邀請超過三十萬人一同慶祝，現在帶您前往台北中正紀念堂的活動，三個場次共約有三萬人參與，除了有各佛教道場法師，還有政府官員與國外佳賓。


2. 中正浴佛花草

Many elements helped make Tzu Chi”s Buddha Day ceremony at Taipei”s Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall on Sunday a success. What people might not have noticed was the wheatgrass normally used to decorate the venue in the past was switched to catnip this year. We tell you why.

為了成就中正紀念堂的萬人浴佛大典，需要各項要素的結合，或許大家並沒有注意到，以往用來布置的小麥草，今年被換成了貓草，現在來告訴您為什麼。


3. 菲浴佛市長

The Philippines Tzu Chi Chapter held their first large scale Buddha Day ceremony for over 10,000 people at the Marikina Sports Stadium. As part of their celebration for Mother”s Day, volunteers also organized a foot bath area, with the city”s mayor being one of the many to give their parents a foot spa.

慈濟菲律賓分會在體育館舉辦首度的萬人浴佛典禮，同時也慶祝母親節，志工們安排了洗腳地區，由市長跟著許多人一起為長輩洗腳。


4. 菲律賓慈濟街

Staying in the Philippines, on the day of Tzu Chi Buddha Day celebration, one of its streets in Marikina City was also officially renamed ”Tzu Chi Street”, in honor of the Buddhist NGO”s contribution to the city in the aftermath of Typhoon Ketsana in 2009. We now join the renaming ceremony.

也是菲律賓的報導，浴佛活動這天，馬利僅那市也有一條街正式取名為慈濟街，這是感念慈濟人自從2009年凱莎娜風災後，就一直陪伴受災鄉親重建家園，一起來看慈濟街的命名典禮。


《 靜思語 》

Forging harmonious relationships in daily living requires that we be flexible and accommodating when upholding our principles.

待人處事，在原則中有方便，在方正中有圓融，才能和諧。


5. 雪隆浴佛

Now more Tzu Chi Buddha Day celebrations overseas. In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 8000 people came together at Stadium Bola Sepak to also celebrate Mother”s Day and the 46th anniversary of Tzu Chi. The ceremony was opened by more than 70 religious leaders, and the audience prayed for a world without disasters.

還有部分相關海外浴佛的報導，八千名馬來西亞雪隆慈濟志工與會眾大德，聚集在吉隆坡蕉賴足球場，迎接母親節、慈濟46週年暨萬人浴佛典禮，首先由70多位各大宗門的法師步入會場，與民眾一起祈求世界無災難。

6. 蘇州浴佛

This year”s Buddha Day ceremony is Suzhou was attended by 1800 volunteers from Suzhou, Wuxi, Changshou常熟, Hangzhou杭州, Wuhan武漢 and other cities. Regardless of where they came from, however, participants were alike in the deep reverence they brought to the ceremony. Although the inside location was smaller than other venues around the world, it did not detract from the essence of the ceremony which was a moving experience for all those in attendance.

今年蘇州的浴佛典禮，來自蘇州、無錫、常熟、杭州、武漢等地超過1800位志工與會眾們參與，無論來自何處，大家用整齊的動作、虔誠的心念浴佛，有形的道場雖小，卻意味著菩薩們的心靈道場愈加寬闊，讓這艘法船會更大、願更廣。


7. 澳浴佛+澳雪梨浴佛

We now take you to Australia to check out Tzu Chi”s Buddha Day ceremony in Sydney, Perth and Brisbane. In Sydney the ceremony was held at Kwan Yin Temple in Cabramatta and also outdoor at Eastwood Plaza where it drew passersby who made donations to Tzu Chi. But first to the celebration in Brisbane.

帶大家到澳洲，去看看在雪梨、柏斯和布里斯本舉行的浴佛。在雪梨，有二場位於卡市的觀音廟和依士活行人廣場的戶外浴佛活動，也製作大型的海報，吸引了一位民眾主動捐款，不過首先先到布里斯本去看看。


《 衲履足跡 》

Spiritual Cultivation
Spiritual cultivation begins at the heart, and righteousness and integrity discipline our actions. Harboring love and respect for the earth and helping the needy are all ways to nurture kindness and virtue.


主題：談修行

開示：修行首重修心，心存誠正信實，行為就不會犯錯；心意虔誠，敬天愛地，尚要發心立願，為社會人群付出，皆是培養善心正念的修行。


8. 不一樣媽媽(三)

The second Sunday of May is Mother”s Day, and many celebrated by taking their moms out to dinner. However, doing what they do on any other day, a group of mothers in Kaohsiung”s Daliao 大寮District spent the day sorting recyclables. Over the past 2 years, the group of recycling volunteers went from four to nearly the whole neighborhood, who are now all devoting themselves happily and unconditionally to conservation work.

五月的第二個星期日是母親節，而許多人選擇帶家人上餐館慶祝，不過有一群在高雄大寮的媽媽們，選擇在這一天跟平常一樣 做環保。過去兩年多來，這一群環保志工，從一開始的四人，到幾乎整個社區的婆婆媽媽，都一起投入環保的行列。
