1. 菲律賓浴佛 Buddha Day ceremony in Marikina

This year, Tzu Chi volunteers from the Philippines held their Buddha day ceremony in the Marikina Sports Stadium. Apart from government officials, religious leaders from different organizations also arrived to participate. This was also the first time volunteers organized for participants to stand in Tzu Chi logo, lotus flower and bodhi leaf formations.

今年的菲律賓浴佛典禮在馬利僅那市體育場舉行，除了有政府官員，還有當地各宗教界代表也撥空參與，志工首次嘗試排列圖騰，包括蓮花、慈濟LOGO及菩提葉。


2. 菲律賓大米 Rice distribution after ceremony

Following the Buddha Day ceremony in the Philippines, Tzu Chi volunteers also held a rice distribution where they handed out 20-kilo bags of rice to some 9,831 families. The joint event not only helped residents gain dharma joy, but also filled their hearts with Tzu Chi”s love and blessings.
在菲律賓的浴佛典禮後，慈濟志工也舉辦大米發放，送上一包包20公斤的大米給9831個家庭，兩場活動下來，不只讓居民充滿了法喜，更讓他們圍繞在慈濟滿滿的愛與祝福中。


3. 美國浴佛 Coast to coast Buddha Day

In the next report, we bring you Tzu Chi”s Buddha Day celebrations all the way from the east to the west coast of the United States, where Tzu Chi volunteers in New York, Houston, Dallas, San Jose, San Francisco and San Dimas put their efforts together for a memorable day for local residents of all ethnicities and faiths. Apart from the ceremony , volunteers in North Caliafornia also set up a game area, to promote the concepts of conservation work and vegetarianism, and encourage the participants to only eat 80 percent full.

接下來的報導，帶您由美國的東岸到西岸，不管是紐約、休士頓、達拉斯、聖荷西、舊金山、聖迪瑪斯，浴佛大典因為有了志工的投入，不分宗教種族，在許多人心中留下了美好的印象。浴佛大典之外，北加州志工也安排攻站活動，提倡素食與環保，也鼓勵大家吃八分飽、兩分助人好。


4. 美總會大醫王 Buddha Day at San Dimas

Staying in the United States, at the US Tzu Chi Headquarters in San Dimas, California, some 80 TIMA members brought their family along to participate in the local Buddha Day ceremony. Free dental checkups and weight-loss consultations were also made available, to attract more public participation. Tzu Chi volunteers were also on site to promote organ and bone marrow donation as well.

也是美國的報導，在加州聖迪瑪斯慈濟美國總會，八十多位人醫會醫護不只自己參與浴佛，還廣邀家人一起參加，現場還有牙齒保健檢查，以及減重愛的撲滿的宣導，吸引更多的民眾參與。


《 靜思語 》

Only through the challenges encountered in human affairs is a gentle heart cultivated.

未經人事磨練，磨不出柔軟心。


5. 緬甸浴佛 Buddha Day Ceremony in Yangon

Back in Asia, Tzu Chi”s Buddha Day ceremony was held for the fourth consecutive year in Myanmar with some 4,000 people in attendance. Among the participant, volunteer Lin Jihua(林濟化), joined the event despite suffering from cancer.

回到亞洲，慈濟在緬甸仰光舉辦第四年的浴佛典禮，志工林濟化就算身體不適，還是來參加，四千多位民眾也來同霑法喜。


6. 印尼浴佛 Over 7,000 join Buddha Day

The next story takes us to Indonesia, Tzu Chi volunteers chose to hold this year”s Buddha Day ceremony outside Jakarta”s Jing Si Hall. Volunteers only expected 5,000 people to take part, however, some 7,000 turned up to join the tri-celebration, taking the participation of the Buddhist ceremony to a new level.

接下來的報導，我們帶您到印尼，慈濟志工首次在靜思堂前的戶外廣場舉行浴佛典禮，志工原本預計五千人參加，不過卻有七千多人一起參與這場盛會，而這也在雅加達舉辦浴佛典禮以來最多人參加浴佛的一次。


7. 印助學生環保 Scholarship recipients join Tzu Chi

To some people, garbage may just be garbage, but to Tzu Chi volunteers, recycling turns garbage to gold, and gold helps run charity work. Recently, a group of students receiving Tzu Chi scholarships in North Jakarta, joined in the recycling efforts, to learn where their scholarships came from. Let”s take a look.

垃圾對有些人來說，也許就是廢棄物，但慈濟志工運用回收，卻將這些垃圾變成黃金，黃金變成愛心。在印尼北雅加達，一群助學生一起做資源回收，體會原來慈濟送的助學金就是這些回收的資源換來的，一起來看看。


《 衲履足跡 》
Faithfulness

Doing good brings good karma; however, if we are always looking for something in return, it will lead to unnecessary disappointments. Doing charity work with no ulterior motives guarantees a peace of mind at the end of the day.

主題：談守志堅定

開示：做好事，自然就有好因、好緣、好果，若是一開始就抱著有所求的心態，一旦不遂己意就會起煩惱；反之，心無求，認定「好事做就對了」，即能清安自在。


8. 三一一‧愛接力(一) The Power of Love

When the earthquake and tsunami hit the northeast coast of Japan on March 11 last year, it not only wiped entire towns off the map, but took the lives of some 15,000 Japanese people. Those that survived often had to go on living with the devastating loss of their family members. In our new six-part series of feature reports, ”The Power of Love”, we travel to Japan to follow the lives of families that are struggling with the loss of loved ones and the normal, stable life that they once knew. In the first of our series we meet Zhang Jun張君, who lives in the City of Ishinomaki in Miyagi Prefecture. Zhang Jun”s daughter was lost along with 73 of her classmates from Okawa Elementary School when the tsunami hit the town. With her daughter dead and her husband out of work, Zhang Jun felt like she had nothing to live for. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to meet Tzu Chi who infused her life and that of her husband, with new purpose and hope.

去年的311地震海嘯震碎了日本東北部，沖毀了城市，一萬五千多人往生，而生還者還要忍受失去親人的痛苦，從今天起推出六集的「三一一愛接力」專題，帶大家到日本看看他們是如何克服失去親人的痛，讓生活步入正軌。第一集，家住在日本宮城縣石卷市的日籍婦女張君，女兒就讀的大川小學遭到海嘯侵襲，張君的女兒和其他73名同學一起罹難，女兒往生、先生失業的多重打擊，她萬念俱灰，還好遇見慈濟人 重拾生命希望，和先生兩人一起成為快樂的慈濟志工。


END: 獨居淨身心
People living in solitude are always forgotten in times of festive celebrations. Thus, prior to the Buddha Day ceremony in Taipei, Tzu Chi volunteers visited a few elderly people who have trouble moving about and were unable to attend the event. Volunteers thoughtfully held a simple ceremony inside the senior residents” homes, and also provided hair cut services. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for watching Da Ai Headlines. Goodbye.

獨居者總會遺忘佳節的慶祝，因此在三節合一的溫馨的日子裡，慈濟志工佳節前先訪視一些行動不便、無法參與活動的長者，在長者的家舉辦簡單的浴佛，也幫他們進行剪髮整理儀容的服務，一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。(2012.05.16)
