1.大林男丁格爾

We start the show with our featured reports on male nurses working in Tzu Chi Hospitals around Taiwan, who are every bit as caring and sensitive as their female counterparts. Today we meet 6-foot tall Lv Zonglong(呂宗隆) who is currently serving at the Dalin(大林) Tzu Chi Hospital. Lv”s strong build and masculine appearance often has patients wonder whether or not he can do his job well. However, it doesn”t take long for Lv”s patients to realize that he is a warm and kind soul who is very professional in his chosen career.

節目的開始，專題報導南丁格爾，在台灣慈濟醫院的男性護理師，跟女性護理師一樣細心專業。今天來認識，身高182公分的呂宗隆，目前在大林慈濟醫院服務，外表高大又魁梧，讓病患時常擔心是否他能提供細膩的照護，不過，呂宗隆總是很快的，就用他專業的態度，以及細心的服務，說服病患與家屬。


2.三一一愛接力(四)

In today”s installment of our continuing series ”The Power of Love” we once again go back to that fateful day of March 11, which forever changed so many people”s lives in Japan. The destruction wrought by the earthquake and tsunami on that day not only lead to a huge loss of life, but also destroyed many families financially. Now, more than a year later, some victims are still jobless and homeless, and have taken to living on the street. As of January this year , there were over 9,000 homeless reported living in Japan, with 2000 of them in Tokyo alone. Tzu Chi and its local helpers have been working to help this situation. Among them is Yasu Otsuka, a native of Tokyo who has been helping those forced to live on the street find a measure of comfort in their difficult lives.

三一一愛接力專題中，帶大家看2011年的311大地震，改變了日本許多人的生活，讓許多日本受災鄉親，流離失所，也重創經濟。一年了，不少人失業成為街友，截至今年一月，全日本有九千多名街友，在東京繁華街頭，也有兩千多名街友，慈濟和當地人也付出己力，幫助他們，其中一位日本人名叫大塚保，投入志工工作，到東京街頭關懷遊民，為他們獻上一顆柔軟謙卑的心。

3.澎湖發放日

Back to Taiwan, Tzu Chi volunteers have also extended a warm hand to the needy in offshore island of Penghu, by distributing relief supplies regularly every month. On the day of the distribution this month, volunteers also helped take the blood pressure of care recipients. A simple Buddha Day ceremony was then held so all could share in the Buddha”s blessings.

回到台灣 慈濟志工也伸出援手，幫助澎湖離島的居民，每月固定舉行發放，發放當天也為照顧戶量血壓，還為他們舉辦簡易的浴佛儀式，讓他們一同接受佛陀的祝福。


4.聽障嬤關懷

Still in Taiwan but moving to Taichung, Tzu Chi volunteers have been caring for 93-year-old deaf-mute senior Liu-Ye Ai (劉葉愛) through home visitations in the past four years. Since the senior couldn”t speak nor hear, volunteers have been communicating with her through sign language. The constant supply of love and support from the caregivers inspired happiness in the senior, who decided to save money to help those who are less fortunate.
也是台灣報導但轉到台中，最近慈濟志工來到九十三歲聾啞老人劉葉愛的家，因為老人聽不到也不能講話，四年來，志工都是用手語溝通，透過志工的愛，老人重拾歡樂更發願，要投竹筒幫助別人。


《 靜思語 》

Simplicity is beauty.

簡單就是美。


5.360槺榔掃帚(一)

Nowadays brooms are mostly made from plastic, but in the past, they were made from tying leaves or twigs together. We now introduce you to one of these traditional brooms that originated in southern Taiwan, which has a stunning title, ”The Heaven and Earth Sweeper.”

現在的掃帚，通常是塑膠製品，但古時候，掃帚是用樹葉與樹枝做的，現在為您介紹，南台灣的傳統掃帚，它有個很響亮的名號-天地掃。

6.360槺榔掃帚(二)
As we saw in the last story, few people in Linyuan District”s Linnei still remember how to make the ”Heaven and Earth Sweeper”. To keep the old art alive, a local school decided to teach its charges how to make the broom, a lesson which the children enjoyed.

就如剛剛看到，林園林內已經很少人會做天地帚，為了傳承這項技藝，當地一所學校決定要開班授課，而孩子們也都學的很開心。


《 衲履足跡 》談願力 On Vows

With the world in turmoil, there should be a force to help restore harmony, stability, and balance to the world. To bring salvation to the world is not a foolish and unrealistic dream for it only has to begin with you and me. With everyone working and pledging together, we will have the strength to realize such a dream.

世間動盪不安，必定要有一股安定的力量調和、平衡。救世並非說大話或自不量力，從我、從你、從他開始，每一個人皆發大心、立宏願，有願就有力。


7.泰國新芽浴佛

Tzu Chi volunteers in Thailand have been going around schools in Bangkok to locate and help every student who is struggling to pay tuition fees. With Tzu Chi”s financial assistance, students can better focus on their studies, and their parents or legal guardians also have one less expense to worry about. Student aid recipients also took part in the Buddha Day celebrations in Bangkok, where they came to better understand the importance of appreciating what they already have in life.

泰國曼谷的慈濟志工，奔走一所所學校，為家境清寒的孩子，送來助學金，有了慈濟的經濟援助，讓學生能專注課業，讓家長不用舟車勞頓，志工也帶著孩子浴佛，教導孩子要珍惜已有的幸福。


8.越南浴佛
In Vietnam, Tzu Chi volunteer organized two Buddha Day ceremonies. One took place at the Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce in Binh Duong Province, the other at the Taipei School in Ho Chi Minh City. Both of these celebrations happened on the same day, which means that volunteers had to rush from one place to the other in order to put together the events for more than 400 people in two different locations. Regardless of the distance and time pressure, it was a task volunteers willingly undertook.
越南的志工，辦了兩場的浴佛典禮，其中一場在平陽省的台灣商會會館，另一場則是在胡志明市的台灣學校，兩場都在同一天，所以志工比須從一點，趕往另一點，為400多位民眾 籌備典禮，雖然奔波又有時間壓力，志工甘願做、歡喜受。

9.麻坡浴佛
Still on the topic of Buddha Day ceremony, in Muar, Malaysia, two Tzu Chi Buddha Day ceremonies were held this year. Altogether, more than 2000 participants joined the celebrations. This was also the first time dharma masters were invited to take part.
也是浴佛相關報導，馬來西亞三月，位於馬來西亞的慈濟麻坡支會，今年舉辦了2場浴佛慶典，吸引超過兩千人前來，今年也是麻坡第一次邀約法師，前來參與浴佛。


END：星國孝親

At the end of the show, we go to Singapore, where Tzu Chi volunteers organized a special event for children, aged 10-12, to show their gratitude to their parents in action. There were many tear-jerking moments for the moms and dads, who were extremely moved by their children” affectionate gesture. We”ll leave you with these images. Thank you for watching Da Ai Headlines. Goodbye.

節目最後，我們來到新加坡，新加坡分會親子班舉辦了一場孝親活動，一群10至12歲的孩子，要感恩雙親，當父母看見孩子親手回饋恩情，有些已眼眶泛紅，一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。(2012.05.21)
