1.多國風災發放

In August of this year, Hurricane Isaac not only struck the United States, but also the Dominican Republic. Situated close to the river, the village of Ha-ba-ne-ro suffered extensive damage in the flooding. This month, Tzu Chi volunteers provided villagers with vitally needed relief items, as well as red envelopes containing Master Cheng Yen”s blessings.

今年八月底，艾薩克颶風侵襲多明尼加，緊臨河川的阿巴內羅村莊淹水，災情慘重，9月，慈濟志工前往發放物資，還親手送上福慧紅包。

2.馬伊發關懷

3-year-old Iffah Nurul from Malaysia”s Sabah, suffers from epilepsy and blood infection, and needs dialysis treatment. However, the family does not have the means to install clean running water at home, which is essential to ensure the future health of the girl. Their doctors therefore contacted Tzu Chi, who arrived to do their best for the family.

今年三歲的小女孩伊發，住在馬來西亞沙巴，天生有癲癇，卻不幸還遭到血液感染，需要洗腎度日，但家境清寒，連乾淨的自來水都沒有，無法在家以腹膜透析來洗腎，醫生為他們尋求慈濟幫助，慈濟志工前往關懷，幫忙這個家庭。

3.馬轉葷為素

Staying in Malaysia, Tzu Chi volunteer, Wang Xiuhua(王秀樺) has been selling non-vegetarian noodles for many years. However the selling of meat made her uneasy because they were in violation of Tzu Chi”s ten precepts. Undecided, it took misfortunes to force her to take initiative. Feeling the impermanence of life, Wang Xiuhua(王秀樺) finally made the decision to sell vegetarian lunchboxes.

也是馬來西亞的報導，慈濟志工王秀樺，開麵店賣葷食多年，因為守慈濟十戒 心中極為不安，原本難以下定決心停賣葷食，但因為看到無常的人生，她決定把握當下，轉做素食便當。

4.紐祈福會

On September 15th, Tzu Chi volunteers in New Zealand, held a blessing ceremony, which was joined by students from the Jing Si Chinese Class. The volunteers discussed the benefits of vegetarianism by explaining to the students, that going meatless is not only good for their health, but helps save our planet as well.

9月15日，紐西蘭慈濟志工舉辦了一場祈福會，參予這次活動的，孩子是靜思中文班的學生，志工也對學生說明吃素，能讓身體健康，又能保護地球。

《 靜思語 》

What matters more is not the profundity of the teachings, but whether they are practiced in daily life.

法不在深，而在能行。

5.入侵家園(動物篇1)斑腿樹蛙

Globalization has brought many benefits in terms of easier access to goods from around the world. However on the back of this global trade has been the uncontrolled spread of unwanted pests. Sometimes these species find a balance within the local ecosystem, other times the introduced species becomes invasive, which means that it starts to upset the natural balance by outcompeting species native to the area. This is the case with the Spot-legged Tree Frog, which was accidently introduced to Taiwan in 2006. Since its first appearance, it has spread to most of Taiwan”s west coast, where it out-com-peted Taiwan”s indigenous tree frog. Although the threat is not yet serious, researchers have already begun removing the Spot-legged Tree Frog, in an effort to control its exploding population and head off more serious problems down the road.

全球化讓全球貨物流通頻繁，但在全球貿易的背後，隱藏著不斷擴散的害蟲問題，有時這些物種可以和當地的，生態體系之間找到平衡，但有時候這些外來的物種，會變得具有侵略性，開始破壞生態的平衡，影響原生的物種。2006年意外侵入台灣的斑腿樹蛙，就是一個例子，牠開始在台灣西海岸擴散棲地，影響台灣原生蛙種，雖然威脅還不甚嚴重，但研究人員已經開始驅趕這種，外來的斑腿樹蛙，希望控制該物種的數量，以免造成未來更嚴重的問題。

《 衲履足跡 》談修行 On Single-mindedness



When you find the right way, make the best of it by cultivating yourself constantly.

As most people are trapped in the emotions of love and hate, it is ever more important to persist on inspiring goodness in others, no matter how challenging or difficult it may be.

找到正確的道路，就要精進向前；即使人間的恩怨愛憎糾葛牽纏，人心事 相皆複雜，欲度眾生有萬般艱難，仍要為善堅持，入苦中苦而不畏苦。

6.360美寧工坊

Over half a century ago, Taishan(泰山) District, which is situated in the-now New Taipei City, was once known for its production of Barbie dolls. The doll industry began to fade away after the American toy company relocated abroad in 1987. However, today, through an employment program, many retired women are returning to the workforce and coming together to design dolls with a Taiwanese touch.

半個世紀之前，新北市的泰山區，曾經是生產芭比娃娃的重鎮，外資在1987年撤退之後，芭比娃娃的故鄉因此沒落，如今泰山人透過自己的巧思，還有多元就業方案，退休婦女重返職場一起，設計出適合東方臉孔的新娃娃。

7.慈青不空過

Next, we meet Zheng Yiting(鄭伊婷), a Tzu Ching who recently came back to Taiwan from South Africa. Zheng Yiting(鄭伊婷) had been living in South Africa for ten years and joined the Tzu Ching Club when she was in university. However, she did not rush to find a job as other college graduates, but decided to help at Tzu Chi”s free clinic. Although she did not speak Hakka, she was still able to overcome the language barrier with love and a smile.

接著，一起來看看一位慈青的故事，她從南非回到台灣後，加入了慈濟活動，鄭伊婷在南非生活了十年，念大學的時候接觸了慈青社，最近畢業回到台灣，第一件事情不是忙著找工作，而是參加慈濟的義診活動，即使她不懂客家話，仍然用愛與笑容跨越語言隔閡。

8.貢寮澳師義診

On September 16th, Northern TIMA doctors in Taiwan arrived in Gongliao(貢寮) District to hold a free clinic and make house calls. This time, the event was joined by 81-year-old Huang Lei(黃磊), who specializes in Chinese acu-pressure. In spite of being a senior herself, Dr.Huang happily follows the TIMA doctors and give other seniors a massage to make them feel better.

9月16日，台灣北區人醫會，來到貢寮區舉辦義診，和居家往診，這次參予活動的，有81歲的中醫穴道按摩師黃磊，雖然自己也是長者，黃醫師開心的跟著人醫會醫師，並且給其他老人按摩，讓他們非常舒服。
