1. 賴索托發大米



As it is still winter in the southern part of the planet, South Africa Tzu Chi volunteers traveled to the landlocked country of Lesotho, to distribute rice and cooking oil to the needy. Beginning this year, Lesotho has been suffering poor harvest due to little rain, and local residents don”t have enough food to survive through the cold winter. Thankfully, Tzu Chi”s help arrived just in time.



南半球正值冬天，不過南非的慈濟志工跨越國境來到賴索托，發放大米和食用油給貧民。賴索托今年雨水少，收成不好，難以度過寒冷的冬天，還好，感恩慈濟及時的幫助。





2. 泰大愛農場



In November 2011, Zou Wenliang(鄒文良), a Tzu Chi volunteer in Thailand, while on a trip to Taiwan, received the blessing and wisdom envelope from Master Cheng Yen. Upon receiving the red packet, he was informed the rice inside, was actually the harvest previously planted by Tzu Chi Hospitals” medical staff. To encourage the Thai people to make the same contribution, Wenliang(文良) and the superintendent of Wat Pleng Hospital, Cai Wanglun(蔡旺倫), began drafting a plan of a Da Ai farm in Thailand. After some searching, they found a farm around 20,000 square meters in size, whose owner was also a nurse. She later agreed to rent the farmland to Tzu Chi at a low price. At the opening ceremony of the farm, Wanglun(旺倫) lead medical staff in planting the rice seedlings. The harvest will be shared with patients, inmates and Tzu Chi care recipients.



2011年11月，泰國的慈濟志工鄒文良，因為返台，得到證嚴上人福慧紅包的祝福，收到紅包時，他得知福慧紅包中的稻穗是台灣慈濟醫院的醫護人員用愛耕田的成果，鄒文良和越烹醫院院長蔡旺倫開始籌備泰國大愛農場的計畫，幸運的是，他們找到一塊近兩萬平方公尺的的地，地主剛好也是醫護人員，認同慈濟人醫會的想法，決定便宜租用。大愛農場啟動典禮當天，蔡院長帶著醫護人員一同下田播種插秧，豐收的果將送給醫院病患、女監獄受刑人，與慈濟照顧戶。





3. 素油飯蔡柳蓮



In Taiwan, Tzu Chi volunteer Cai Liulian (蔡柳蓮) born in Pingtung”s (屏東)”s Fangliao (枋寮) Township, moved to Taipei in 1985, a year after she got married. The couple began making a living by selling glutinous rice at a traditional market. Last year after joining the sign language performance of the Water Repentance Sutra, she realized that her way of killing animals to earn money was wrong, so she decided to start selling vegetarian sticky rice instead. She says, she is happy to be able to promote the benefits of vegetarianism.



出生屏東枋寮鄉的慈濟志工蔡柳蓮，1984年跟先生結婚後的隔年，就一起搬到台北，在傳統市場賣油飯，去年參加慈濟的經藏演繹後，體悟到殺生的可怕，開始改賣素油飯，她說能很開心夠推廣素食的益處。





4. 松山祈福會



Staying in Taipei, Taiwan, Tzu Chi volunteers in the Songshan District held a blessing ceremony last Sunday, August 18. Prior to the event, volunteers went door to door to send out invitations and vegetarian cards. Apart from encouraging residents to use flowers and fruits to replace animal offerings and to refrain from burning joss paper, volunteers also seized the opportunity to promote vegetarianism.



鏡頭持續留在台灣的台北，松山區的慈濟志工於上周日8月18日舉辦吉祥月祈福會，在祈福會舉辦之前，志工已經先挨家挨戶拜訪邀請，並送上齋戒善行卡，志工除了向大家宣導，用鮮花素果來取代傳統三牲五禮的祭拜外，還有不燒紙錢的觀念，也把握機會跟大家推廣素食。





《 靜思語 》



A wasted day is worth less than a meaningful second.



空過一天，不如實用一秒。





5. 愛在你身邊(4)王嘉雨



In our series of feature reports on ”Love Is Around”, we learn of the story of Wang Jiayu (王嘉雨), who was married to Taiwan from China”s Hainan Island (海南島). Unfortunately, Wang”s husband passed away last year from a heart attack, leaving their children in her care. Thanks to a neighbor who contacted Tzu Chi, Wang found the strength to go on with the care she received from the volunteers. The mother says, she is grateful to Tzu Chi and her employers who supported her through this low point of life.



在我們「愛在你身邊」的專題中，今天我們來看看，從海南島嫁到台灣，外籍配偶王嘉雨的故事。嘉雨的先生去年因心臟麻痺過世，留下無助的她和兩個孩子，還好鄰居通報慈濟，王嘉雨終於有信心繼續活下去，她說很感恩慈濟和老闆，在她人生低潮時給予支持和鼓勵。





6. 馬幼體驗身障



To help children learn to empathize with those physically challenged, the Tzu Chi kindergarten in Bayan Lepas, Malaysia, held various activities where kindergarteners were blindfolded for the whole day. Let”s take a look.



為了讓學生了解身心障礙者的不便，馬來西亞檳城峇六拜慈濟幼兒園的老師，讓小朋友蒙著眼一整天，一起來看看。





7. 板橋助學金



As summer holiday is nearly over here in Taiwan and students will be returning to school soon, which means that the needy families will once again have face the heavy burden of tuition fees. While handing out scholarship aid for the upcoming school year, Banqiao板橋 Tzu Chi volunteers also took the opportunity to remind care recipients to prepare for the-then approaching typhoon.



暑假即將結束，學生要開學了，而要幫孩子繳學費，對很多家庭是一筆很大的負擔，因此板橋慈濟志工特地到關懷戶家中訪視，除了送上助學金，也叮嚀大家要做好防颱準備。





《 衲履足跡 》



On Karma

In a positive environment with knowledgeable advisors, we are able to do good deeds, create blessings and cultivate wisdom. Through the Water Repentance Sutra, we are inspired to walk the right path, and will not create bad karma.



主題：談善業與惡業

開示：有好環境、善知識帶領，就能行善造福、增長慧命；在不好的環境中、受惡緣牽引，就會履造惡業。經由大懺悔、齋戒的帶動，讓眾生莫墮落迷途。





8. 達魯岸的夏天(4)撒烏瓦知的採集



The various Amis tribes of Taiwan have long supplemented their diet with the foraging of plant and berries. In tune with the seasons, they have discovered a diet that is viable throughout the year. Recently, their foraging ways have come under closer scrutiny by experts, who have been looking for ways to help lessen the effects of what looks to be an upcoming grain crisis. We now take a look at members of the Sa”owac tribe who, despite moving to the densely populated Taoyuan County from the mountains of Hualien, are still successfully continuing on with their foraging ways.



阿美族部落中，長久以來就靠著採集植物和莓果當做食物，按照一年的時序採集食物，近來，他們的採集文化已經受到專家密切的注意，這些專家長期找尋方法，因應未來糧食的危機。今天我們要觀察撒烏瓦知部落，儘管他們已經從花蓮移居桃園，他們仍然繼續傳承這種古老的採集文化。

節目最後，我們來到新加坡。68歲獨居的杜阿公，十年前因為車禍，左腿遭到截肢，加上這幾年又患有糖尿病和高血壓，慈濟人醫會定期上門幫阿公往診，最近得到阿公的允許，讓志工幫他打掃居家環境，一起來看看，感恩收看。(2012.08.27)
