Why can`t we focus on tasks?

Helping abandoned babies in Taiwan

Welcome to Da Ai Headlines. I`m Helen Liao. Thank you for joining us.

歡迎收看大愛英語新聞，我是廖珮如，感恩有您的加入。

Coming up in the show today, we join the 2,000 Taiwan Tzu Chi volunteers, as they are promoting environmentalism, at the Lantern Festival in Hsinchu(新竹).

As we live in an age, in which, we are constantly surrounded by information and technology, let`s find out why focused attention, seems so hard in today`s world.

In our new feature report on ”Caring for Children”, we visit a shelter, that cares for abandoned babies in Eastern Taiwan.

今天的題要，跟著台灣2000位慈濟志工來到新竹燈會現場，看看他們推動環保的情形

我們現在的世代，是個資訊爆炸的時代，不過，一起來看看為何注意力在現今社會似乎難以維持

今天的疼惜寶貝專題中，帶大家到東台灣收容棄嬰的收容中心


1.新竹燈會環保Environmentalism at Lantern Festival

Taiwan`s annual lantern festival was held this year in Hsinchu(新竹), and saw over 10,000 visitors participating. To keep the festival site clean, Tzu Chi mobilized 2,000 shifts of volunteers, to clean up and promote environmentalism. To encourage members of the public to join Tzu Chi`s ranks, Tzu Chings invented a catchy slogan and made sign-boards with eco-friendly LED bulbs. Let`s take a look.

台灣燈會今年在新竹舉行，賞燈人潮超過萬人，慈濟志工將動員二千人次，投入環境清潔以及宣導環保，為了鼓勵民眾加入慈濟行列，慈青發明了標語，利用環保LED燈製作看板，還設計名牌和大頭娃娃，一起來看看。


2.馬環保站啟用New recycling station

Following a year of negotiation, the Tzu Chi Bu-kit Je-lu-tong Recycling Station, in Selangor of Malaysia, finally received government approval to begin operations. The site, which was once full of garbage, was transformed into a recycling station, to take on the responsibility of protecting the environment. On the day of the opening ceremony, the mayor of Shah A-lam City also attended.

在歷經一年的溝通協調後，馬來西亞雪蘭莪，武吉日落洞慈濟環保站，終於得到官方認同，正式啟用，原本只是堆積垃圾的屋子成為社區環保站，擔負環境保護的重擔，莎阿南市長特地參與開幕典禮。


3.印尼新春團拜＋士林新委團拜＋澎湖迎新委TC New Year celebrations continue

Tzu Chi`s Lunar New Year celebrations continue around the globe. Today, we go to Taiwan`s Penghu(澎湖) and Taipei, where New Year blessing ceremonies, welcomed newly certified Tzu Chi commissioners to the Tzu Chi family. But first, we go to Indonesia, where Jakarta Tzu Chi volunteers, held their New Year blessing ceremony, which was joined by participants of different races and faiths.

慈濟的新春祈福繼續在全球各地舉辦，在新春團拜活動上，歡迎加入慈濟大家庭的新成員 ，首先，我們到印尼，慈濟志工舉辦新春團拜，也有許多不同宗教、種族的民眾前來參加。


4.找回專注力1001 sights and sounds

We live in an age, in which, we are surrounded by information 24 hours a day, that routinely draw our attention, away from what we happen to be focusing on. The result is that our attention span, to focus for long periods of time has diminished, as our brains adapt to this new way of interacting with the world. In our next report, we take a look at how and why focused attention, seems so hard in today`s world.

現代人身處的時代，24小時都處在一個資訊爆炸的時代，常常受到聲光刺激，讓現代人漸漸注意力不集中，所以大家常常容易分心，注意力也很難持續，人類的大腦正努力適應和世界互動的新模式，接下來的報導中，要先帶您了解集中注意力在今日的世界裡何以會如此困難？


5.北慈腦麻病患Taipei TCH treat care recipients

Recently staff from Central TIMA, referred one of their care recipients, Mr. Feng(風), who is a cerebral palsy patient, to the Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital. Mr. Feng(風) has been suffering from a severe toothache, for over three months, which has restricted his food intake. Thankfully, medical staff at the Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital not only fixed his dental problems, but also treated his si-nu-si-tis. Before his discharge, the doctors and nurses even held a farewell gathering to wish him all the best, in the future.

中區慈濟人醫會，日前轉介了長期關懷的腦性麻痺患者風先生，前往台北慈濟醫院就醫，病患因為嚴重牙痛，已經三個多月沒有正常的開口進食，台北慈院口腔外科團隊，不只解決困擾許久的牙痛，更治療鼻竇炎問題，最近準備出院，醫院特別為風先生舉辦歡送會。


6.疼惜寶貝Helping abandoned babies

Today, we start a new series of feature reports on caring for children, and first go to the East Coast of Taiwan, to visit the Hannah`s Hope Taiwan. The foundation was established in 2011, by the Kernel Of Wheat Foundation, and its main goal is to care for babies, that were abandoned by their families. The staff at the Hannah`s Hope Taiwan wish, to provide a safe and happy environment for these children, while raising awareness on how to avoid unwanted pregnancy.

今天我們開始疼惜寶貝的專題報導，我們來到東台灣，來認識棄嬰照顧中心，哈拿希望之家，這個中心是2011年，由一粒麥子基金會所組成的，主要是照護被遺棄的孩童，因此哈拿希望之家，希望能讓這些孩子有個安全快樂的成長地方，同時提倡大眾重視未婚懷孕的問題。


7.辛國法親修屋Helping out local volunteers

In Zimbabwe, there are only a few Tzu Chi volunteers, so local volunteers are especially important, in helping to carry out home visitations. However, some local volunteers, are not much better off, than those care recipients they visit. One such example is Ten-dai Nglu-lube, who`s roof was made out of fabric and tarps. Recently, local volunteers came together, to repair her home by installing a new tin roof.

在辛巴威，慈濟志工人數不多，對於需要人手協助家訪時，更突顯本土志工需求的重要性，不過本土志工生活狀況也不比照顧戶好，而其中一位本土志工忝岱，家裏的屋頂則是用塑膠布和樹枝搭蓋成的，最近，當地志工齊聚為他搭建鐵皮屋頂、修補屋子。


8.做志工重生Regaining a healthy body

Tzu Chi volunteer Shen Jinzhi(沈金職) had fallen ill, and thought, she might not have long to live. Fortunately, while she was taking part, in a hospital volunteer training program, She discovered her symptoms, to be similar to that of a brain tumor. After receiving treatment, Shen(沈) has completely recovered, and is now giving back to society, as a way to show her gratitude. Let`s take a look.

慈濟志工沈金職生了一場大病，抱著活一天、做一天的心情活下去，卻沒想到在參與醫療志工培訓的過程中，無意間了解到自己的症狀，跟腦部長了瘤很相似，積極治療完全康復後，沈金職持續做志工回饋，一起來看看。


END：美靜思語旅館

We go to the United States at the end of the show, since 2011, US Tzu Chi volunteers have been promoting Jing Si Aphorisms in hotels. Recently, the volunteers arrived at San Jose, California, to promote Jing Si Aphorisms to the local Fountain Inn. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for watching Da Ai Headlines.

4.澳人醫十年10 years of free dental clinics

Anything great begins with a simple idea, followed by actions and per-se-ve-rance. In July 2002, three Tzu Chings in Brisbane, Australia, along with a Tzu Chi volunteer, came together to organize free dental clinics in the remote areas of Queensland. However, the service came to a temporary stop, when the government was unable to provide funding for medical equipment. Nevertheless, believing what they were doing was right, the volunteers saw the crisis as a turning point. Today, the 4-person team has grown to over 100 volunteers, participating at each of the free clinics.

任何事情，都從一個念頭開始，並且持續付出努力與恆持，在2002年七月，澳洲布里斯本三位慈青，加上一位慈濟志工，一同在昆士蘭內陸進行牙科義診，雖然曾經一度因為缺乏政府醫療用品的輔助，義診被迫中止，不過大家堅持原本的想法，努力克服困難，從原本的四個人，到現在有一百多位志工參與義診活動 。

6.反轉手心的幸福(車振忠)Giving despite disability

46-year-old Taichung resident Ju Zhenzhong(車振忠) is a sufferer of An-ky-lo-sing Spon-dy-li-tis. Due to his condition, Ju had withdrawn himself from the world and closed his heart to those around him. Fortunately, Tzu Chi volunteers were there to help him through the tough times. Today, Ju Zhenzhong(車振忠) can now be frequently seen at the local recycling station, giving back for the love he received.

今年46歲，住在台中清水的車振忠，是僵直性脊椎炎患者，長期受病痛所苦，一度封閉心門，還好慈濟人一路陪伴，才讓他轉了心念，現在車振忠常常到環保站，手心翻轉做環保。

Lin moved to Hualien`s Jing Ai Abode 25 years ago, and despite being 85 years of age today, continues to work as a kitchen volunteer, seizing each moment to give.

Staying in Taiwan, we meet recycling volunteer Lian Jiasen(連家森) from Taichung`s Dali(大里) District, a cerebral palsy sufferer since birth.

Today, Cai and her husband both joined Tzu Chi`s ranks and have started a new chapter in their lives - one with Tzu Chi and recycling.

Each year, organizers of the Lantern Festival in Central Taiwan, will come up with innovative and cutting-edge concepts which attract large crowds.

This year, the Taiwan Cultural and Creative Industries invited Tzu Chi, to promote recycling concepts and waste reduction at the festival.

每一年中台灣燈會都會推陳出新，吸引大批人潮到場觀看，但是留下的大量垃圾，也令主辦單位傷透腦筋，今年文創會主動邀請慈濟志工參與燈會，在現場宣導垃圾減量以及資源回收。

But first, let`s head over to Miami of Florida, in the United States, where Tzu Chi volunteers participated in a Lunar New Year celebration.

Since 2009, volunteers in Malaysia have been touring the country with their sign language musical of the Sutra of Innumerable Meanings. On February 16th, the performance will return to Penang where it all first started. To ensure that as many people as possible can enjoy and perhaps be inspired by the performance, in the week prior, volunteers went door to door to restaurants and households, to let the public know of this wonderful show.

3. 古宅˙轉生術(5)青田街 A combination of East and West

In our series of reports on historical sites around Taiwan, each of the historical sites we have visited holds the stories of its era. Today, we take you to Taipei City`s Qingtian(青田) Street, which once held many dormitories built by a group of Japanese professors from Tai-ho-ku Imperial University, during the Japanese colonial period. After Japan was defeated in World War Two, the grounds and buildings of Tai-ho-ku Imperial University were taken over by National Taiwan University, and one of the dorms became the residence of Ma Tingying(馬廷英), a geology professor at NTU. Professor Ma was well-known for his research on “continental drift”, with many of his findings pre-dating European and American scholars by about 15 years. Today, the former Ma residence is owned by the National Taiwan University, but graduates of the university`s geology department have rented the land and are in charge of its operations and restoration.

Back to Malaysia, we meet a filial son, Huang Jiapeng(黃嘉朋), who has managed to celebrate each of his mother`s birthday with her, over the past 4 decades, including the recent 91st birthday celebration. As his mother used to be the breadwinner at home, Huang wanted to reciprocate her love, by carrying out his filial duties whenever and wherever needed.

回到馬來西亞有一位孝子，黃嘉朋，四十年來都為母親慶生，包括這次91歲大壽，當年母親獨立撐起家中經濟，為了回報她的養育之恩，黃嘉朋不論何時何地都會妥善照顧他的母親。


5. 馬教育姊妹 Doing household chores

Teaching children the right values and belief must start at a young age, we stay in Malaysia`s Penang for our next story, and meet the Xie(謝) sisters, who both graduated from the Penang Tzu Chi Kindergarten. 10-year-old Xie Kaien(謝愷恩) and 7-year-old Xie Jiaen(謝家恩), not only help with household chores, but have acquired good habits over the years from studying in Tzu Chi.

教育孩子正確的觀念就應該從小開始，今天我們來到馬來西亞檳城，來認識，謝氏姐妹，她們都是慈濟幼兒園的畢業生，10歲的愷恩和7歲的家恩兩人，不但幫忙做家務還培養出良好習慣。


6. 360養蜂(一) Locally grown honey

According to estimates, 70 percent of honey products in Taiwan are fake honey made up of fruc-tose and chemical additives, 20 percent are imported and the remaining 10 percent is locally produced. Despite the good quality of home-grown honey, due to its high price when compared to imported honey, the number of beekeepers in Taiwan continues to decline. In our next report, we meet a couple in Nantou, Li Liyu(李麗玉) and Li Fuliang(李福涼), who is committed to beekeeping 365 days a year, to produce locally grown honey.

根據調查 ，台灣坊間的蜂蜜產品有百分之七十是色素和香料合成的假蜂蜜，百分之二十是進口蜂蜜只有百分之十是本土蜂蜜，雖然品質好成本卻高於，進口蜂蜜三成到五成，使得本土蜂蜜產業 逐漸沒落，今天接下來的報導，我們來認識在南投一對夫妻，一年三百六十五天，投入養蜂的行業，堅持生產本土的蜂蜜。


7. 貴州廟會 Performance by the Miao people

Moving to China`s Guizhou(貴州), Taiwan`s Ministry of Culture and the China Friendship Foundation For Peace and Development, recently joined hands to hold a cross-cultural temple fair. Through the Guizhou(貴州) style performances, visitors gained a better understanding of the area`s culture. Let`s take a look.

1. 印尼水災發券

In Indonesia’s Jakarta, the monsoon rains in mid-January, left areas of the city under water for nearly a month. As the floodwaters have yet to subside in some areas, the Tzu Chi Indonesia Chapter is again carrying out aid distributions to help disaster victims.

印尼今年一月的水患已過，不過雅加達的部分地區還是淹在水裡，由於水尚未退去，慈濟印尼分會再度針對水患的受災戶展開發放。


2. 書軒視訊拜年+北慈新春團拜

In Taiwan, different groups within Tzu Chi - including young volunteers from Jing Si Books and Cafe and doctors from the Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital - sent their New Year’s greeting to Master Cheng Yen through video conference. Whether young or old, all gathered to make a vow to continue walk the Tzu Chi Path for as long as they can.

在台灣，各地慈濟社區道場，包括靜思書軒的小志工和台北慈院醫療人員，視訊連線 ，向花蓮的證嚴上人恭賀新喜。許許多多社會人士共聚一處，也自我期許，讓人間淨土早日實現。


3. 吉打新春

Also making good use of technology, are the volunteers at the Tzu Chi Kedah Chapter in Malaysia, who joined their counterparts at the Jing Si Abode in Taiwan’s Hualien through video conference calls, to chant sutras together, in praying for a peaceful year ahead.

也是拜科技所賜的報導，在馬來西亞吉打分會，農曆春節期間，志工跟花蓮靜思精舍連線拜經，祈求新一年的平安。

4. 美人文新春

For many Chinese communities, the Lunar New Year is considered to be the biggest holiday of the year. However, for those living overseas, the festive atmosphere is sometimes absent. To help students get a better understanding of the meaning of the Lunar New Year, Tzu Chi Academies across the United States all hosted events to celebrate the holiday.

春節是很多華人社區的大節日，但是在海外，年節的感覺沒那麼重，為了讓孩子們更了解農曆新年的意義，美國各地的人文學校都舉辦了新年活動。


《 靜思語 》

A strong mind can carry out missions without fear of external pressure.

只要自心有力量，就可以挑起使命，不怕外來的壓力。


5. 古宅˙轉生術(4)台糖萬華

Today, in our continuing series on Taiwan’s historical sites, we take you to the Sugar Industry Cultural Park in Taipei’s Wanhua District (萬華). Following the fall of the sugar industry, the Taiwan Sugar Corporation eventually sold the land, and what remained of Taiwan’s sugar trade heritage were three warehouses. And in 2003, the three historic warehouses were declared Taipei’s 106th historical site. In addition, the Ming Hwa Yuan(明華園) Arts and Cultural Group was invited by the Department of Cultural Affairs, to move into the park, thus injecting a further artistic flair into the location.

今天古宅轉生術，帶您看到的是位在萬華的製糖文化園區。台北製糖所，隨著產業沒落，糖廠土地逐漸轉賣，最後留下的三座倉庫，終於在2003年被指定為106號市定古蹟，另外，文化局也找來明華園進駐，就近協助管理之外，也為當地帶進濃濃的藝文氣息。


6. 檳城幼兒染布

Back to Malaysia, a group of children from the Penang Tzu Chi Kindergarten visited an organic clothing store, where they had a chance to play with natural dyes. In the process, the children not only learned about cherishing resources, but also went home with their hand-made handkerchief. Let’s take a look.

馬來西亞檳城慈濟幼兒園的學生，到有機服裝店參觀，籍此讓他們體驗有機染布，在製作過程中，小朋友學習以感恩心珍惜地球資源，還能擁有自己動手做的手帕，一起來看看。


《 衲履足跡 》

On Seizing the Moment

If you do not understand impermanence, it is easy to be indolent. We assume there is always a tomorrow, but life is impermanent. Life exists in the space of a breath. So upon meeting good conditions, we need to seize the opportunity and, with gratitude, follow the Buddha’s path.

主題：談把握善緣

開示：若不知無常，就容易懈怠，認為今天沒做的事，明天再完成；無常不期而至，生命就在呼吸間，所以遇到好因緣就要好好把握，以感恩之心，跟隨「貴人」的引導而行。


7. 馬無量義經(五)

At the upcoming musical rendition of ＂Purity, Great Love and Innumerable Meanings＂, which will be performed this weekend in Malaysia’s Penang, apart from the usual sign language performance, a drumming performance will also be shown. The members of the drum team are Tzu Shaos(慈少) between the ages of 13 and 19, and all playing the instrument for the first time. Despite the difficulties they’ve come across, the students have used every practice session in full, in hopes of putting on a perfect show.

清淨大愛無量義，將在這個周末在馬來西亞檳城演出，除了有手語表演，還加入了法鼓演繹，演奏者不是專業的鼓隊，而是十三到十九歲的慈少，他們都是第一次學打鼓，即使練習的很辛苦，沒有人放棄，反而更把握每次彩排的機會，希望呈現完美的表演。


8. 香積母女檔

After Tzu Chi volunteer, Huang Meizhen(黃美珍) retired, @ she started visiting the Taichung Tzu Chi Chapter each day to help with kitchen work. Even during the Lunar New Year holidays, she has not missed a day and even brought her daughter along to lend a hand. Here’s more.

台中慈濟志工黃美珍退休後天天到台中分會做香積，連春節假期也天天報到，這幾天還帶著女兒來感受付出的法喜，一起來看看。


9. 監獄分享愛

At this New Year occasion, Tzu Chi volunteers in Tainan(台南) visited the inmates at the Mingde(明德) Prison, where they put on a short skit expressing the importance of filial piety. Upon seeing the play, many inmates were moved to tears and repented for their past mistakes, and all vowed to fulfill their filial duties after their release.

歡慶新年時節，台南慈濟志工前往明德監獄拜訪受刑人，志工現場演繹行善行孝不能等的話劇，後來受刑人紛紛流下眼淚，並懺悔過去對父母的不孝，發願將來出獄能好好行孝。


10. 見苦知福

Staying in Taiwan, we meet two individuals, Yan Ruiqi(顏睿麒) and Chen Louxiang(陳露香), both of whom after joining Tzu Chi and seeing those less fortunate, has not only learned to cherish what they have, but also changed for the better.

也是台灣的報導，帶大家認識顏睿麒與陳露香，兩人都因為接觸到慈濟，看到比自己更苦的人，不僅見苦知福，還因此改變自己。

1.賴索托新春 New Year blessing ceremony

As Chinese communities around the globe, are celebrating the Chinese New Year, Tzu Chi volunteers in Lesotho also organized a blessing ceremony, to welcome the New Year. Among those participating were children attending a deaf-mute school, who have been receiving support from Tzu Chi. To reciprocate Tzu Chi`s love and care, these care recipients and others, put on a special performances at the event. Let`s take a look.

Meanwhile, instead of watching TV or sleeping all day long, the grandchildren of Tzu Chi volunteer Zhang Biping(張碧屏), arrived at the Kaohisung(高雄) Jing Si Hall to volunteer at the flea market.

鏡頭轉到台灣，為了讓這年節過得更有意義，康先生和家人，回到花蓮靜思精舍做志工，在這裡，女兒康雅惠，也一起要將靜思精舍師父手工做的環保清洗液，推廣給大家，同時，慈濟志工張碧屏和孫子們，不利用假期看電視和睡覺，反而來到高雄靜思堂，舉辦的惜福市集做志工，讓我們來看看。


3.桃園走春 A healthy alternative

Also in Taiwan, for the Lunar New Year, many Taiwanese burn paper money or incense at local temples, as a way to ask for blessings in the upcoming year. However, to protect the environment, this pratice is excluded in Tzu Chi. At the Taoyuan(桃園) Jing Si Hall, visitors from all walks of life, instead found other ways, to pray for blessings and welcome the New Year.

也是台灣的報導，春節期間，很多人會到廟裡燒金紙拜拜，同樣是許願求心安，不過，慈濟用的是愛護地球的方式，在桃園靜思堂，就有許多民眾用不同的方式祈福，來迎接新的一年。


4.大陸新年併 New Year Celebrations

In China, Tzu Chi volunteers around the nation, held a variety of activities in celebration of the Lunar New Year, to which local residents were invited to take part. During the event, besides putting on a series of performances and sign language shows, volunteers also seized the chance, to introduce Tzu Chi to the participants.

在中國各地，各地志工舉辦各種迎春活動，吸引許多民眾參加，活動中，除了表演手語劇外，志工還把握機會，介紹慈濟的理念。


《 靜思語 》

Be a spiritual farmer who cultivates fields of blessings for oneself and others.

要做心地農夫，自我耕心田，也在人人心中耕福田。


5.古宅˙轉生術(3)士林官邸 The Shilin Official Residence, a historical site

For many Taiwanese, when speaking of the Shilin(士林) Official Residence, a vast stretch of green bo-tanical wonder, usually comes into mind. During the period of Japanese occupation, the residence was a hor-ti-cultural experimental station, where many types of tropical plants could be found. Years later, the location became the residence of the late President Chiang Kai-shek and First Lady Soong May-ling(宋美齡). Until now the place has been preserved to honor its historical value, but also aims to provide insight into the First family`s way of life, while allowing visitors to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding gardens and ecology.

相信許多台灣人，現在大家聽到士林官邸，就會聯想到一片，綠意盎然的開闊空間，回溯日據時代，這裡是園藝實驗所，種滿各種熱帶、亞熱帶植物，後來成為蔣中正總統，以及夫人宋美齡一家居住的官邸，如今，這個地方被原封不動地保留，也希望遊客能夠體驗，蔣總統夫婦當年生活，同時也享受開闊的綠地空間。


6.菲歲末排練+菲歲末祝福 Year-end celebration

In the Philippines, a local volunteer learns about forgiveness through her participation, in the musical adaptation of the Water Repentance Sutra. In turn, when sharing her story at the year-end celebration in Rizal Province, she inspired an audience member to repair her relationship with her family. But first, let`s take a look, at how 300 Filipino volunteers, overcame language barriers, to participate in the sutra performance.

在菲律賓，本土志工 維瑪，因為參加水懺演繹，放下心中的怨恨心結，當她在歲末祝福上，上台分享自己的故事，激勵了另一位民眾，發心要跟家人合好，首先，我們先來看看，三百多位本土志工，學習認識中文字，承擔起經藏演繹的過程。


7.0212馬無量義經(四) Putting doubt aside to perform

Also in Southeast Asia but in Malaysia, For the upcoming performance of the adaptation of the Sutra of Innumerable Meanings in Penang close to 1,500 volunteers have gathered together. And among the participants is volunteer Lin Cifeng(林慈豐). Due to physical deformity in her fingers, Lin was originally uncertain about participating. But after remembering the teachings of Master Cheng Yen, Lin put aside her doubts, and went on to become her team`s top performer.

依然東南亞新聞，不過來到馬來西亞，馬來西亞檳城無量義經公演，這次有一千五百位志工參與，林慈豐也是其中之一，她曾因為自己手指彎曲，猶豫是否要參與演出，但謹記證嚴上人的教誨，珍惜親近佛法的機會，決定放下懷疑，走入經藏，在隊伍中更顯得美麗。


《 衲履足跡 》談上善法水 On Spreading the Dharma

Teaching the rich to help the poor, or helping the poor to teach the rich-this is the Dharma in action. With the Dharma in their hearts, volunteers strive on behalf of the greater good. By helping sentient beings to harmonize their hearts and minds, a world free of disasters can be achieved.

無論是教富濟貧或濟貧教富的方法，都是上善之水。上善法水滋潤了志工的心，就能利益人群；但願慈濟人帶動大眾調和心念，使地球成為菩薩淨土，平安無災。


8.卓蘭義診+街友義診 Bringing love to the needy

Moving back to Taiwan, while most people are on holiday, celebrating the Chinese New Year, TIMA medical staff in both Tainan(台南) and Taichung(台中) are taking this time, to help those living on the fringes of society. Tainan(台南) Tzu Chi volunteers and medical staff, arrived at a homeless service stop, to provide medical treatment. While in Taichung(台中), the TIMA medical staff there, traveled to remote areas to hold free clinics. Let`s take a look.

來到台灣，許多人正在放農曆新年假，而台南與台中人醫會，則是利用假期，幫助社會邊緣的困苦人，台南慈濟志工與人醫會，來到街友服務站，提供治療。另外，在台中人醫會，則是到偏遠地區舉辦義診，讓我們一起來看看。

Although it has been almost eight months since the disaster, thousands of quake victims are still living in temporary shelters. To help, Tzu Chi volunteers from five different countries arrived at the temporary housing camps, to organize two winter aid distributions.

According to Chinese tradition, the second day of the Lunar New Year is a day, when married daughters visit their parents, relatives, and close friends.

Staying in Taiwan, we take you to Zhushan (竹山) Township in Nantou (南投) County, to visit a once abandoned traditional court-yard house, which belonged to the Zhang (張) family. Later, a young man named He Peijun (何培鈞) became determined, to restore the historic site to its former glory. Thanks to this dream, the historic site was transformed into a guest-house.

也是台灣的報導，帶大家到南投竹山，看看這原本，已經荒廢的張家古厝，但，一位年輕人遇上了這棟百年老建築，決心捲起袖子，把它修復改造，因為他的夢想讓祖厝，搖身一變成為充滿文化理念的民宿。


6.過年醫療不打烊 Safeguarding residents` health

In Taiwan, when shops and restaurants are closed for the Lunar New Year, Tzu Chi hospitals continue to be fully staffed. The influx of visitors into the Hualien(花蓮) and Taitung(台東) area, has not allowed staff there, any breathing space, and the larger Hualien(花蓮) Tzu Chi Hospital, has even added more shifts to take care of all the patients.

在台灣，過年期間，當店面與餐廳都關閉時，慈濟醫療志業，堅守崗位不休假，隨著觀光和返鄉人潮，湧入花東地區，醫護同仁過年不打烊，花蓮慈院還加派人手輪值，守護民眾健康。

馬來西亞，檳城慈濟洗腎中心，15年來，每天都有醫療志工到醫院陪伴腎友，為了表示感謝，醫療同仁舉辦感恩茶會，感謝志工這一年的付出。


《 衲履足跡 》談以身作則 On Leading by Example

The beauty of Tzu Chi is how it works as a team. A team has those who lead and those who follow, each knowing their proper place. Those who lead should do so by personal example, because only then can they inspire those behind to follow them on the path of goodness.

慈濟之美，是美在隊伍整齊，必須有許多人前後相隨，且人人合齊；走在前方者以身作則、身體力行，才能樹立典範，感動人、引導人同行善事。


8.馬無量義經(三) Educate minds and open hearts

On February 16th, Tzu Chi volunteers in Malaysia will put on a performance of the musical adaptation of the Sutra of Innumerable Meaning. Also new to the performance this year, is the recreation of the story of a Tzu Chi Dialysis Center patient. As for the performers, the hours of practice helped them realize the importance of carrying out filial duties.

在2月16日，馬來西亞慈濟志工即將，公演音樂手語劇「清淨大愛無量義」，當中規畫了洗腎中心，真人真事故事，入經藏志工，在經過數小時的排演中，感動滿滿，年輕志工們深深體會到，百善孝為先，也用心領悟人生百態。


9.澎碼頭環保 Recycling work in Penghu

In Taiwan`s off-shore island of Penghu(澎湖), Magong(馬公) recycling volunteers, gather once or twice a month to help load recyclables, that arrive from Jibei(吉貝) by boat, before taking them to the local recycling station. As the event only occurs twice a month, there are usually a lot of garbage to sort through, thus, these recycling volunteers give it their all, as they work to safeguard the planet.

在台灣離島的澎湖，馬公環保志工每個月，有一次到兩次會一起，將吉貝島運來的回收物，先搬上環保車後，運到當地的環保站，由於一個月才一兩次，每次回收量大約是兩艘船，因此環保志工一起合作，共同守護地球。


10.食物銀行推廣 Teaching residents how to save resources

During the Lunar New Year holidays, many families end up purchasing too much food or snacks. To educate members of the public not to waste food, Taiwan People`s Food Bank Association, held an event in Taipei`s Huashan(華山) Creative Park, where residents were shown how to deal with their extra items, by donating them to the needy.

過年期間，有時候我們可能，買了太多的食物或零食，為了教育民眾不要浪費食物，台灣的全民食物銀行協會，在台北華山文創園區，舉辦推廣活動，讓民眾知道他們可以，把多餘的物資捐出去。

1.精舍初一+精舍除夕圍爐Celebrate CNY at Jing Si Abode

Over the weekend, as many celebrated the Chinese New Year at home, many Tzu Chi volunteers from around the globe, returned to their spiritual homeland in Hualien, to spend the holiday there. On the eve of the Lunar New Year, kitchen volunteers woke up at 4am, to prepare for the reunion banquet later in the evening. And despite the busy days, volunteers were happy to have the chance to form good affinities with the guests at the Jing Si Abode.

上個周末，許多人在家度過農曆新年，而許多慈濟志工則是選擇回到心靈故鄉－花蓮過年，在除夕夜當天，志工們一早四點就起床，為晚上的圍爐做準備，而即使忙錄，所有的志工們都很開心有機會跟前來靜思精舍參訪的民眾結好緣。


2.除夕做環保+初一做環保Celebrate in a meaningful way

As it is a tradition for Taiwanese families to spring clean before the start of a new year, the volume of recyclables at recycling stations also increases around this time of the year. Therefore, recycling volunteers at Tzu Chi`s Dongda(東大) Grounds in Taichung(台中) and Tzu Chi`s Sanxia(三峽) Grounds in New Taipei City, spent New Year`s Eve and the first day of the holiday at recycling stations, embracing the year ahead in a different, yet meaningful way.

春節前，家家大掃除是每一個台灣家庭的傳統，因此每年這個時間環保站工作量也會跟著加倍增加，但在台中東大園區，以及三峽園區的環保志工，卻在環保站度過除夕夜與大年初一，用及充滿意義的方式迎接新年，讓我們一起來看。


3.慈悲約定(六)傑米真情臉譜The 10th Tzu Chi volunteer

Among these volunteers is Jameel, a native Jordanian, who is the latest to be certified as a Tzu Chi volunteer.

4.馬無量義經(一)演繹緣起Sutra of Innumerable Meanings

The musical rendition of the Sutra of In-numerable Meanings was first performed in Hualien, Taiwan in 2007. The show deeply moved Malaysia`s Tzu Chi volunteers, who vowed to take the performance back to their homeland one day. Beginning in 2009, volunteers managed to put on 24 successful performances around Malaysia and, thus, have inspired the love and compassion of many. This year, volunteers brought the musical back to Penang, where it all first started, in hopes of spreading Tzu Chi`s humanitarian spirit further.

Moving to Taiwan, Tzu Chi`s recycling stations not only serve as venues, for members of the public to give a helping hand in safeguarding the planet, but are also educational centers for scholars from abroad to learn about environmentalism.

1.新北獨老年菜+弱勢五星年菜Getting ready for Chinese New Year

First up, in Taiwan, as tomorrow marks the eve of the Chinese New Year, many people are doing last minute shoppings, to prepare delicious meals in celebration of the holiday. To help the needy enjoy the festival, a restaurant owner donated New Year dishes from his restaurant, to the Xiangyang(向陽) Child Care Center. Meanwhile, the government of New Taipei City visited solitary seniors door to door, to present them with a special New Year`s gift.

首先來看台灣，明天就是除夕夜了，許多人忙著採購年貨，準備美味佳餚慶祝佳節，為了幫助貧苦人歡樂過加佳節，一個餐廳業者決定送出自家的年菜到向陽兒少關懷中心，同時新北市的政府官員，也來到獨居老人，獻上禮物和好吃的年菜。


2.過年無毒清掃Home-made detergents

Prior to the Chinese New Year, it is part of the tradition for families to clean up their homes. However, a common worry at this time, is the negative effect of the chemicals found in commercial detergents. In our next report, we learn from an expert, how to use essential oils to make non-toxic cleaners, at the cost of less than 50 NTD.

農曆新年前台灣的家家戶戶都正忙著大掃除，最令大家頭疼的就是清潔劑裡頭的化學物，今天我們請來家事達人，要教您運用天然精油來製作無毒清潔劑，對付頑強的水垢油汙，而且花費不用50塊台幣。


3.大掃除小細節The art of spring cleaning

When carrying out spring cleaning before the Lunar New Year, we normally mop the floor, clean the windows and dust our furniture. Nevertheless, there are always hidden corners which we might neglect, that are just as important. Let`s take a look.

在過年前大掃除是台灣每一戶家庭必做的，大家都會擦地板、擦窗戶、清洗家具，不過有很多小地方，常被我們忽略清掃，而且都是重要的地方，一起來看看。


4.慈悲約定(三)愛共振念同聲NGOs to help refugees

Facing cold and hunger daily is perhaps the best description of the living conditions of Syrian refugees. As organizations from around the globe continue to look for ways to help them, there are already two groups helping out these war victims on the frontline, the Al-Takaful Charitable Society and the Tzu Chi Foundation. In today`s report on Jordan, we take a look at how respect and companionship are infused in Tzu Chi`s aid distributions.

飢寒交迫是目前最貼切形容，敘利亞難民處境的一句話，世界各國都陸續表達人道救援的意願，不過在約旦邊境有兩個國際NGO組織，已經先行一步，他們是約旦本地的組織，阿爾塔卡富以及來自台灣的慈濟基金會，今天的慈悲約定約旦專題中，我們看看要怎樣把尊重與陪伴的精神帶入發放過程。


5.新澤西市長參訪Mayor comes to visit Tzu Chi

Recently; accompanied by Tzu Chi volunteers, the mayor of South Toms River, Joseph Champagne, made his first trip to Taiwan, to spend the holiday with Master Cheng Yen. But first, he stopped by at the Tzu Chi Humanitarian Center in Guandu, Taipei.

來自美國新澤西州的南湯姆斯河市長，在志工陪同下，第一次來到台灣與證嚴上人過年，首先他先來到關渡的人文志業中心參訪。


6.海南愛啟航(4)實業家志工Local businessmen join TC

As the Chinese government is working to turn Hainan into an international tourism destination, the island has attracted many businessmen from home and abroad to relocate and settle in Hainan. While these entrepreneurs gain wealth in their businesses, they also look for spiritual growth. Having met Tzu Chi, many of these local businessmen decided, to dedicate themselves to the Buddhist NGO, and have gained much through the process of giving.

中國政府規畫海南成為國際旅遊島，因此吸引了很多台商或內地的實業家到海南投資或定居，這些實業家在事業上有了一定的成就後，也想尋求心靈的富足，剛好這時認識了慈濟，因此投入志工的行列，也在過程收穫滿滿。


7.台灣冬令規畫Celebrating with care recipients

Prior to the Chinese New Year, Tzu Chi volunteers around Taiwan, invited care recipients and their families to join them for year-end celebrations, where they prepared delicious meals and also handed out aid supplies. The work that goes into each of these aid distributions requires the combined efforts of many hard working volunteers.

農曆新年前夕，全台各地慈濟志工邀請照顧戶、居關戶一起圍爐，除了一起吃團圓飯，志工也發放冬令物資，看似簡單的物資發放，背後可是耗費不少心力。


8.棉蘭歲末祝福Year-end blessing ceremony

In Medan, Indonesia, Tzu Chi volunteers held a year-end blessing ceremony with many local residents, Tzu Chi members, and government officials taking part. In the event, members from the Indonesia Religious Harmony Forum signed a memorandum of cooperation with Tzu Chi, in hopes of spreading Tzu Chi`s humanitarian spirit far and wide.

慈濟志工在印尼棉蘭舉辦歲末祝福，今年除了民眾和會員前來參加，北蘇門答臘省的政府官員，及宗教和諧論壇的成員參與，這些宗教家們跟慈濟志工簽下了合作備忘錄，希望讓慈濟的志工精神，散布在印尼更多地方。

After gaining a better understanding of Tzu Chi, these businessmen all vowed to incorporate the organization’s humanitarian spirit into their companies.

節目一開始，首先來看慈濟志工在中國瀋陽舉辦茶會，活動有五百位企業家的參與，透過影片，企業家們對慈濟有更深的了解，也答應要把慈濟人文帶入公司中。

《 靜思語 》

The heart’s desires are the causes of life’s greatest miseries.

心靈的欲念，是引發人生最痛苦的因。


4. 慈悲約定(二)劫後餘生

Syria is the only country in the Middle East without a debt problem. Its enjoys an advanced farming industry and the residents there are widely educated, but as the civil war continues, it has robbed everyone of their wealth, land, pride and even lives. As residents are fleeing to nearby countries, to seek temporary shelter; we look at the difficulties faced by these refugees who are away from home.

敘利亞是中東地區唯一沒有外債危機的國家，農工業發達，國民又普遍具有良好的教育水準，但是戰爭瞬間剝奪了他們擁有的財產、地位、榮耀，甚至性命，居民逃亡鄰近國家尋求庇護，我們的鏡頭將帶您前往位於約旦的聯合國難民營，了解他們的現狀。


5. 慈青居家關懷

Many Tzu Chings in Taiwan are seizing their winter breaks to travel to Hualien, to take part in volunteer work at the Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital. In addition to helping on the hospital grounds, some Tzu Chings also accompanied volunteers on home visitations, where they learned a valuable life lesson.

慈青在寒假時把握時間，到花蓮慈院當醫院志工，除此之外，還跟著志工一起去照顧戶的家中打掃，同時也見苦知福。


《 衲履足跡 》

On Our Original Nature

Our hearts have a light that illuminates in darkness. This is our pure and unsullied original nature. This original nature has no shape or form, but exists nevertheless. It is through wisdom that we express this radiance of our original nature in the world of form, sound, and color.

主題：談「心」

開示：人人的心本具有照亮黑暗的光亮，就是清淨無染的本性，「性」無形無相，但是確實存在，要用智慧顯現有聲 有色的「相」，呈現人間的光明面。


6. 黃豆的真相(2)

Much of the food consumed by Taiwanese such as soy milk, tofu and dried beancurd are all made from soybeans. However, most of the soybeans used today, are imported from abroad and ge-ne-ti-cally modified. Despite the high cost involved to produce locally grown soybeans, providing healthy foods that are free of toxins is a commitment that Taiwan’s organic farmers have taken to heart. Let’s take a look.

台灣人時常吃的豆漿、豆腐、豆皮，都是由黃豆做成的，但我們用的黃豆卻大多是進口的，也都是基因改造的。儘管本土栽種難、成本又高、市場不大，但讓大家吃到健康無毒的食物，是台灣有機農民一直秉持的堅持，讓我們一起來看。


7. 海南愛啟航(3)環保志工

Since Tzu Chi’s establishment in Hainan(海南), China, Guangzhou(廣州) Tzu Chi volunteers have been working to promote recycling concepts to local communities, and thus, brought a group of recycling volunteers to Taiwan last March, to learn more about the organization’s environmental work. After seeing how volunteers in Taiwan are giving selflessly to safeguard the planet, this group of recycling volunteers from China, was inspired to do the same upon returning home.

慈濟在海南成立後，廣州慈濟志工積極推動環保，並於去年三月帶一群環保志工來到台灣參觀慈濟環保志業，看到台灣志工如此用心守護大地時，這群志工回到當地也深受啟發，投入推動環保志業。
