1. 曼谷火災發放

We begin today”s show in Thailand, a community in the capital city of Bangkok, @ was hit by an outbreak of fire on July 15th. The blaze, which started due to a faulty electric wire, burned down 7 homes and left 19 families without shelter. Tzu Chi volunteers in Bangkok soon after, rushed to the scene to hand out relief supplies, and help the families make it through this difficult time.

節目一開始來到泰國，泰國首都曼谷一處社區，七月十五日發生一場大火，這場因電線走火引發的火災，燒毀了當地七戶房屋，造成19戶鄉親無家可歸，曼谷慈濟志工立即前往勘災，發放救災物資，幫助受災鄉親度過難關。

2. 辛巴威動工

Next we join Tzu Chi volunteers from Taiwan, South Africa and Zimbabwe who have gathered to help build prefabricated classrooms in Zimbabwe”s Run-gu Run-go Elementary School. Even with the expertise of the Taiwan Tzu Chi volunteers, constructing 7 classrooms is no easy task. However everyone is united in efforts as they share the same goal of building a safer environment for the children to attend class.

接著，集結台灣、南非及辛巴威慈濟志工，為辛巴威的自由小學援建簡易教室，雖然有台灣營建團隊志工的經驗傳承，7間簡易屋工程卻還是複雜繁重，但是大家同心協力，為孩子打造能安心上學的新教室。

3. 巴西二十年

Also in the southern part of the planet, but moving to Brazil, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Tzu Chi Brazil Liaison Office, the overseas Chinese community and hundreds of volunteers participated in an anniversary ceremony. Thanks to the leadership and hard work of Tzu Chi volunteer, Ye Yueguan(葉月觀), not only are Tzu Chi”s work and ideals recognized by many in this Catholic country, but the number of volunteers have also increased dramatically. Today, the Tzu Chi Medical Center also offers monthly free clinic as well as dental services twice a week.

也是南半球的報導，不過鏡頭轉到巴西。慈濟巴西聯絡處舉辦20周年慶，華僑和上百名志工參加慶祝會，因為慈濟志工葉月觀的努力推動，她將慈濟奉獻和理念帶到巴西，讓慈濟在這個天主教國度落地生根，今天，慈濟醫療中心會固定舉辦一周兩次的牙科義診活動。

4. 越南志工班

In Vietnam, every month starting from March of this year, Tzu Chi volunteers seize the time after their monthly distribution to hold volunteer training seminars for local residents. Today, the participants have increased to nearly 100 people, with most of them being Vietnamese. The volunteers said they hope to inspire local residents to do good deeds and help those in greater need.

在越南，從今年三月份開始，慈濟志工利用每個月利用發放日之後，舉辦一次本土志工培訓課，從三月開始參與的人數，增加到約一百人，並且幾乎都是當地越南人，志工說，希望能啟發更多居民做好事和幫助需要的人。

《 靜思語 》

There is great strength when everyone does good deeds. There is good fortune when everyone creates blessings.

善需大家做，力量才會強；福需大家造，福氣才會大。

5. 現代華佗(四)

In traditional Chinese Medicine, the flow of Chi, or energy, is one of the major factors in maintaining good health. Although Chi cannot be felt or seen, it can be measured. What the Chinese call Chi is actually the electrical charge in the fluid between cells. This fluid passes throughout the body and flows especially strong at the body”s 700 plus acupuncture points. Chinese medicine has come up with numerous ways to move and stimulate this Chi, thereby keeping the energy flowing and the body healthy.

在傳統中醫領域裡，氣的流動或能量是維持健康的主要因素，雖然人們感覺不到氣，看不到氣，但卻可以測量氣。中醫所謂的氣，就是細胞組織液的電荷，組織液通過全身，特別集中在身體七百多個穴道，中醫有各種方法可以刺激氣，保持能量流動和身體健康。

6. 印尼慈青義賣

To promote recycling and at the same time do good deeds, in the Cengkareng Da Ai Village in Indonesia”s West Jakarta, Tzu Chings organized a flea market on the 22nd of July, to sell second hand clothing and jewelries. The money raised will be used to help the needy, and the left over items will be donated to orphanages and nursing homes. The youth volunteers were inspired, to think twice before buying anything in the future.

為了推動環保，又能做好事，在印尼，西雅加達的金卡蓮慈濟大愛村，慈青舉辦二手衣物和小飾品的義賣，義賣所得要幫助貧苦的人，沒有賣完的物品將捐給孤兒院或是養老院，受到激勵的慈青，未來購物前更要三思而後行。

《 衲履足跡 》

On Cherishing blessings

Many can barely escape the hardship of starvation. Though no longer in danger, refugees still struggle to make a living. Master Cheng Yen hopes that we cherish our blessings by eating 80 percent full and leave the remaining 20 percent to help those without food.

主題：談見苦知福

開示：面對飢荒，少數有幸的人得以逃離苦難，抵達平安之地，受限難民身分，亦難以維生。上人教眾，見苦應知福，吃八分飽，省下二分，就能救助許多飢餓的人。

7. 360養蠶(一)

We are all probably familiar with the silkworms from science class when we were in elementary schools. Around the 1980s, silkworm breeding was quite popular in Taiwan, and mulberry tree farms took up some 2,700 hectares of land. However, as many in the industry relocated overseas to cut down costs, there are only a few silkworm breeders left on the island. In today”s feature reports on Taiwan”s fading industries, we meet silkworm breeder Tu Quanming(涂泉明) in Miaoli(苗栗), who is working with his son to preserve the traditional trade.

我們或許都對小學時期自然課的蠶寶寶有印象，1980年代是蠶業興盛時期，桑園面積一度高達2700公頃，然而隨著產業外移，台灣養蠶的人口已經越來越少，在今天的真情臉譜專題中，我們來認識苗栗的涂泉明，跟著兒子堅持要保留傳統行業。

END: 芭蕾舞捐慈濟

Art is said to have the power to spread goodness and helps people see life in a different perspective. For that reason, despite lacking funds for the past 17 years, the Rondo Ballet Theater continues to provide dance classes to those interested, including students from the Tzu Chi Middle School. In the past 6 years, the theater even donated all their income from every show to Tzu Chi. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for tuning in. Goodbye.

藝術也能傳揚美善，放大生命格局。羅德芭蕾舞團十七年來傳承古典芭蕾藝術，還開班授課，其中還有慈濟中學舞蹈科學生，六年來更將每次公演收入全數捐給慈濟，一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。(2012.07.30)
