1. 新竹尖石防災

As we went to air, Typhoon Saola entered Taiwan”s Hualien in the early hours of Thursday morning. Though it left again after a few hours, it passed by the tip of the island, and fierce rain and wind were experienced around Taiwan throughout the day. In our next report, we go to Hsinchu”s Jianshi (尖石) Township and see how local officials are working together with the military to bring damage to a minimal level.

在我們錄影時，蘇拉颱風在周四早上已經登入台灣，雖然幾個小時後就離開，它還是經過台灣東岸，全台都經歷豪大雨及強風，在接下來的報導，我們來到新竹的尖石鄉，看看當地政府如何跟國軍合作，做好防災工作。

2. 颱風叮嚀關懷+蘇拉協調中心

Prior to the coming of Typhoon Saola, Tzu Chi volunteers in Taichung visited 77-year-old Grandma He(何), to make sure her house is strong enough to withstand the storm. On Tuesday evening, after Taiwan”s Central Weather Bureau issued a land warning, the Tzu Chi Foundation not only set up a disaster response coordination headquarters in Hualien the next morning, but also disaster coordination centers in both northern and eastern Taiwan.

蘇拉颱風來襲之前，台中慈濟志工前往探訪七十七歲的獨居何阿嬤，確認她的家可以安全度過颱風。在星期二晚上，中央氣象局發布蘇拉颱風陸上警報，慈濟基金會隔天一早，不只在花蓮設立防災協調總指揮中心，也在台灣北部和東部設立合心協調中心。

3. 羅東物資上車

On August 1st, Luodong (羅東) Tzu Chi volunteers requested aid supplies from the Jing Si Hall in Hualien. Since the Suhua (蘇花) Highway was closed down due to the typhoon, Tzu Chi volunteers quickly sought help from Taiwan Railways. Thanks to the help from volunteers in Hualien, in less than an hour, all the relief items were packed on the train, ready for delivery.

羅東慈濟志工在8月1日提出物資需求，由花蓮靜思精舍送出，但因為颱風，蘇花公路預警性封閉，花蓮慈濟志工緊急與台鐵溝通，調派列車，慈濟志工同心協力，花不到一個小時，就完成了物資的運送。

4. 水往何處流(3)

In today”s series of ”Where does the water go”, we travel downriver to see how cities are dealing with discharging excess rainfall, and controlling flooding of neighboring rivers. Although traditionally, cities have used sewage systems to collect rainwater, as urban development continues, these networks are working close to maximum capacity. Which means that flooding is ever on the horizon. And, as extreme weather continues to batter Taiwan, experts are looking for new ways to control water flow. Here”s more.

在今天「水往何處流」的專題裡，我們來看看都市如何排放過量的雨水，並且控制河川氾濫的問題。過去的作法，都是利用下水道收集雨水，但當都市繼續發展，下水道系統的運作功能幾乎要超過它能承受的極限，淹水似乎成了難以避免的情況，極端氣候持續影響台灣的同時，專家學者正積極尋找新方法，與水和平共處，看看以下的報導。

《 靜思語 》

One who gives with expectations of repayment will be miserable if the expectations are not met; even if one receives what one wishes for the happiness gained will be short-lived.

付出有所求，求不得，苦不堪言；若求得，歡喜也短暫。

5. 菲大衛迪歐

The Tzu Chi Philippines Chapter recently held a ”Voice of Love” concert to raise funds for an ophthalmology center. The night”s main attraction was Israeli singer, David D”or and Taiwanese singer, Yin Zhengyang(殷正洋). All revenues from this concert will be donated to help build the Tzu Chi Ophthalmology Center.

慈濟菲律賓分會舉辦了一場「聽見愛的聲音」慈善音樂會，為了籌建眼科義診中心募款，特地邀請以色列聲樂家大衛迪歐，以及台灣歌唱家殷正洋，音樂會所有收入都將捐作慈濟菲律賓眼科中心的建設基金。

6. 菲黎剎省發放

Also in the Philippines, the local Tzu Chi Chapter held two rice relief distributions in Rizal Province. Though Typhoon Vicente brought heavy rain that threatened the distribution, Tzu Chi volunteers still kept their promise, and handed out rice to more than 5,000 families in five towns and townships.

也是菲律賓的報導。慈濟菲律賓分會在黎剎省展開兩場大米發放，發放當天恰巧遇上颱風韋森特的侵襲，黎剎省大雨滂沱，不過慈濟志工依舊遵守與鄉親的約定，發放大米，總共幫助了五個鄉鎮中五千多戶家庭。

7. 北京門頭溝

Following the first distribution for Beijing”s flood victims at the end of July, Tzu Chi volunteers continue to conduct disaster surveys in areas that have been hit hard. According to local newsreports, all residents are safe from harm, but they are running short on daily necessities and food supplies.

北京7月底的水患，繼第一批的物資發放過後，當地慈濟志工依舊前往災區進行勘災，根據當地區領導的報告，受災鄉親安全無虞，不過仍需要生活用品及食物等物資。

《 衲履足跡 》

On Taking Dharma to Heart

We should understand the meaning behind Buddhist dharma and take the wisdom to heart. Taking part in the sign language musical of the Water Repentance sutra is barely enough, if we don”t change our bad habits or cleanse our hearts.

主題：談佛法入心

開示：對於佛法要全盤了解，切莫一知半解。假如不了解佛法，認為「參加經藏演繹」，只是在表相上與大環境會合而已，內心未受洗滌、習氣未改，真實本性也無從展現。

8. 全美慈青圓緣+澳慈青營

Recently, the 2012 Australia and New Zealand Tzu Ching Leadership Seminar was held at the Gold Coast Jing Si Hall in Australia. Throughout the seminar, students all gained a new perspective on life. Meanwhile, on July 29th , the Tzu Ching Leadership Seminar in the United States, successfully concluded in the Tzu Chi Dallas Chapter.

最近，2012紐澳慈青幹部精進研習會，以及「澳洲布里斯本暨黃金海岸慈青生活營」，在澳洲黃金海岸靜思堂舉行，透過研習會，慈青不但學習慈濟的禮儀，更學習到如何設定新的生活目標。另外，7月29日，全美慈青幹部培訓營在美國達拉斯分會舉辦圓緣。

9. 波士頓培訓

Staying in the United States, the Tzu Chi Boston Liaison Office held a volunteer training seminar on June 21st. Participants included students from both Taiwan and China. Some were motivated by their classmates to come, others were inspired by Sutra study groups. Let”s take a look.

也是美國的報導。波士頓聯絡處在7月21日舉辦志工培訓，有來自台灣、中國大陸的學子參與，有的是受到同學的影響，有的因為讀書會，接觸佛法洗滌而來，一起來看看。

END: 北京香積飯

As Tzu Chi volunteers in Taiwan are braving Typhoon Saola, their counterparts in China, are busy preparing relief items for the second aid distribution for Beijing”s flood victims. Date for the distribution have not been confirmed, but 282 boxes of instant rice have already been shipped from Xiamen and have arrived at Beijing. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for tuning in. Goodbye.

台灣的慈濟志工投入蘇拉颱風的救援工作，而在中國，慈濟志工則為721水患的第二批發放而忙碌，雖然確切的發放日子還未敲定，但是首批賑災物資 282箱香積飯，已藉由廈門空運抵達北京，一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。(2012.08.03)
