As one of the hardest hit areas, 13,000 houses were destroyed and 33,000 people were affected in the city.

Yang Xiaodong(楊曉東) is a Tzu Chi care recipient in China`s Xiamen(廈門). Due to contracting polio, Xiaodong curled himself up, hid in his room and shut the world out. Eventually, he could no longer extend or flex his lower body. To help, volunteers arranged for Xiaodong, to undergo joint reconstruction and replacement surgery, at the Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital in Taiwan. We now update you on Xiaodong`s condition.

來自中國廈門的楊曉東,是慈濟的照顧戶,因為小兒麻痺的關係,曉東把自己捲縮起來,躲在家裡與外界隔離,也因此,他的身軀最後無法正常伸展,於是,志工安排曉東,來到台灣花蓮的慈濟醫院,進行兩側人工髖關節置換術,現在帶您來了解曉東的情況。


4.腕隧道治療 Understand carpal tunnel syndrome

People nowadays cannot live without computers. However, long hours of computer use can lead to discomfort in the wrists, a condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome. So remember to take frequent breaks from typing at the keyboard, exercise your wrists and sit upright. We now tell you more about the condition and how to treat it.

In our continuing report on electricity, we take you to meet the unsung heroes, who make sure you have electricity when and where you need it. These are the maintenance staff of the electric towers and poles found in almost every corner of Taiwan. In a job that requires one to climb three stories in the air, sometimes under the worst of conditions, it is not a job for the faint hearted as our Da Ai reporter quickly finds out.

繼續我們電力知多少的專題,我們一起來認識一群,確保我們隨時有電可用的無名英雄,他們是台電的線路維護員,維護到處可見的,高壓電塔與電線桿,他們隨時要爬上三層樓的高度,並在颳風下雨的狀態下工作,沒有膽量可能無法勝任,一起跟大愛記者來挑戰。

In Kaohsiung(高雄), Taiwan, a group of Tzu Chings recently held a vegetarian cooking contest, in which they worked with Yi Te mothers to come up with the most creative and delicious meatless dishes.

蔬食料理吃久了,很多人會覺得沒變化,但對慈青來說,料理創意千變萬化,高雄慈濟志工,舉辦慈青創意料理比賽,讓慈青跟懿德媽媽,一起發揮無肉好料理。


《 衲履足跡 》談往生 On Facing Death
Studying the dharma in good health means one won`t be confused about life`s purpose. Master Cheng Yen compliments Tzu Chi volunteers in being able to peacefully and calmly face death.

If one has planted good karma and formed good affinities in this life, when death comes, wherever we are, beneficial conditions will also be present.

在身體健康時,接受正法不迷失。上人讚嘆慈濟人心安意定,坦然面對生死。此生種下許多好因、廣結善緣,在往生時,任何一個地方都有好因緣。


8.檳城感恩護師 Happy Nurses Day

1.越南五月發放 Home visitations in Ho Chi Minh City

Tzu Chi volunteers in Vietnam, regularly visit care recipients each month, to deliver relief items, as well as emotional support. In gratitude for the timely assistance provided by Tzu Chi, many care recipients give what they can, to help those in greater need.

越南慈濟志工每個月,會定期到照顧戶家訪視,送上物資與關懷,為了感謝慈濟提供的協助,許多照顧戶都盡自己一份心力,要幫助需要的人。


2.美龍捲風發放 Comforting tornado victims
In the United States, a super tornado swept through O-kla-homa on May 20th, causing severe damage to everything in its path. On May 25th, accompanied by the Red Cross, Tzu Chi volunteers from the Tzu Chi Dallas Chapter, arrived in the Little Axe Community, to conduct a survey and later handed out cash cards to victims. Upon entering the disaster zone, volunteers were overwhelmed by the devastation left by the tornado.

在美國,奧克拉荷馬州,在5月20號,遭到超大龍捲風襲擊,造成慘重的災情,5月25號,在紅十字會的陪伴下,慈濟達拉斯分會,前往災區小艾克斯,進行勘災及發放現值卡,志工抵達龍捲風災區現場,慘重的災情,讓他們難以言喻。

3.助照顧戶打掃 Helping care recipients move

In Taiwan`s Changhua(彰化) County, we meet Tzu Chi care recipient, Mr. Hong(洪) and his family. As Hong(洪) suffers from diabetes, which has affected his eyesight and left him unemployed, his wife is now the sole breadwinner for the family. Before, the family of four, lived in an old house, with tattered walls and broken ceilings. Now that they have found a new home, Tzu Chi volunteers have decided to help them move, and also clean up their new place.

在台灣的彰化,有一戶慈濟照顧戶,洪先生和他的家人,因為糖尿病導致眼睛弱視,無法工作,只靠太太維持家計,一家四口住的房子非常破舊,牆壁剝落,天花板破個大洞,如今他們找到新家,慈濟志工協助他們搬家,還幫他們整理打掃環境。


《 靜思語 》

With faith, there is nothing one cannot do. With patience, there is no responsibility too heavy to shoulder.

只要有信心,沒有做不好的事;只要肯忍耐,沒有擔不起的重任。


4.電力知多少(一)台灣電力總論 A look into Taiwan`s energy sources

As summer approaches, Taiwan will soon be entering a peak season for energy consumption, followed by a general across-the-board hike in electricity rates come October. Next, we take a look at where Taiwan is currently getting its energy from, as well as the pros and cons of each method. Here`s more.

台灣用電將會進入夏季用電計價,今年10月,電費也將進行第二波調漲,接下來,先和您認識台灣各種發電方式,以及發電方式的好處與壞處。


5.減碳未來 Troubles using green energy
The main cul-prits behind Taiwan`s greenhouse gas, are the country`s coal-fired power plants. In fact, Tai-power`s Taichung(台中) Thermal Power Plant, is the biggest in the world, and also the largest carbon dioxide emitter. However, the only way to reduce the country`s dependency on fossil fuels, is to utilize re-newable energy. In our next report, we will tell you the challenges of going green, and how to overcome them.

台灣的溫室氣體最大的來源,是全國的火力發電廠,而其中,台電的台中火力發電廠,不僅是全球最大的火力發電廠,二氧化碳排放量亦為世界第一,要解決台灣對燃料發電的依賴,就要有效利用再生能源,接下來一起來了解,再生能源所面臨的挑戰,及如何克服這些問題。


6.馬淡小環保站 Setting up recycling pt in school

In Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Tzu Chi volunteers, have been caring for the students, at Sungai Buloh RRI Tamil School, since 2008`s New Shoots Scholarship program. Thanks to last year`s meal program and transportation subsidies, the impoverished students` school work and attendance, have greatly improved. In showing their appreciation for all of Tzu Chi`s help along the way, the school allowed volunteers, to renovate an old shack, into a Tzu Chi recycling point.

馬來西亞 雙溪毛糯,淡米爾小學,是慈濟雪隆慈濟志工,自2008年,因新芽助學計畫,而開始長期援助的學校,因為去年開始,啟動了交通與食物的補助金,明顯改善校內,清貧子弟的成績,因此校方騰出倉庫,作為慈濟環保站。

《 衲履足跡 》談道場 On Place of Practice

If conditions are not ripe, insisting won`t make a difference. Finally finding a beautiful piece of land to be ours, Tzu Chi volunteers need to work hard to transform it into a proper place of training.
As long as our hearts are firmly rooted in the dharma, even the most humble training venues can be spiritual breeding grounds for bodhisattvas.

因緣若不成熟,也強求不得。找到很美的土地,更需要我們用心整理,才能成就莊嚴道場。只要道心堅固,即使道場空間窄小,也能發揮人間菩薩招生的良能。

7.馬衛塞節浴佛併 Vesak Day celebrations

Ve-sak Day is a day to commemorate the birth, enlightenment and passing of the Buddha. Many Buddhist countries hold large scale celebrations on this day in May. Tzu Chi volunteers in different regions of Malaysia, also hold Buddha Day ceremonies, to celebrate with some of the participants, coming to pay their respects, and others, looking to let go of their worries and resentment.

衛塞節是佛教傳統紀念,釋迦牟尼佛誕生,成道 涅槃的節日,許多佛教國家都會在五月,舉行盛大的慶典活動,在馬來西亞,慈濟志工也在各地辦浴佛活動,許多人來敬佛,也有的會在過程中,放下煩惱、怨恨。

In Malaysia, Tzu Chi Collegiate Youth volunteers, from the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chapter, will be performing the sign language musical of the Sutra of Profound Gratitude to Parents this October. After recruiting all the needed performers, the first rehearsal was arranged, during which students came together, to understand filial piety.

馬來西亞雪隆,慈濟大專青年,即將在10月舉辦,浩瀚父母恩音樂手語舞台劇,在完成演繹人員招募後,進行首次的彩排演練,學生們也更加了解,如何孝順父母。


9.藝聯會動手做 Spiritual seminar for performers
In Taiwan, it has been two years, since the Tzu Chi Performers Association was first established. The beauty of Tzu Chi has touched the hearts of many actors, who are now devoted volunteers. Recently a spiritual workshop, was held at the Tzu Chi Guandu(關渡) Grounds, as members of the association hope, to encourage more actors to join their ranks.

Front and center in every Tzu Chi`s Medical Mission is health care with dignity. Thus patients have nothing but gratitude for the benevolence and respect shown to them by medical staff and volunteers.(added staff because 醫療人員 refers to medical staff as well, not just volunteers - W) For their part, medical staff and volunteers need to remember to be sincere in the love they offer. In this way, they can form a bond of mutual trust and love with the sick and their families.

Waste management is an issue that troubles many countries worldwide. Be it residential or public sector, governments have tried implementing various ways to collect and sort garbage. Though France is a first world country, residents are still not fully conscious of the need to recycle and cherish their resources. Let`s take a look.

垃圾處理是每個國家,都必須面對的問題,無論是家庭或者公共垃圾,政府都推出對策將垃圾集中,今天帶您來看,法國的垃圾政策,縱使法國已經是文明國家,但公民的環保概念,卻並非這麼先進,讓我們一起來看看。


6.分局做環保 Cleaning agent made from fruit peels

Moving to Taiwan, police officers from the Gangshan (岡山) Precinct of Kaohsiung City Police Department, visited the Tzu Chi Gangshan(岡山) Grounds, where they learned how to make an organic cleaning agent and enzyme solution with fruit peels, as well as the benefits of vegetarianism.

鏡頭轉到台灣,高雄警察局,岡山分局的警員,拜訪慈濟岡山園區,在志工帶領下,員警們學習用果皮,做清潔劑和酵素,也了解到吃素對身體的好處。


《 衲履足跡 》談資源回收 On Recycling Resources

DA.AI Technology has recently set up a factory in China, not with the goal of making money, but in the hopes of spreading recycling concepts.

The goal is to help China, with its massive population, reduce its waste, its use of non-renewable resources, and problems with overdevelopment.

大愛感恩科技在大陸設廠,不是以經營企業的角度營利,而是期待能因為資源回收行動的落實,讓擁有廣大人口的中國大陸減少垃圾污染,也減少資源的耗用與開發。


7.CO2只升不降 Colorless & odorless but everywhere
A series of bizarre weather phenomena such as the recent catastrophic tornadoes that ripped through the US state of Oklahoma can trace their roots back to global warming. The current CO2 level has exceeded 400 ppm, which is believed to be the highest in 3.5 million years. If the level exceeds 450 ppm, the planet`s average temperature is predicted to increase by two degrees Celsius, paving the way for more violent and deadly weather patterns. Here`s more.

最近一連串的怪天氣,例如重創美國,奧克拉荷馬州的龍捲風,都跟地球暖化脫不了關係,現在二氧化碳,濃度已超過400ppm,這至少是地球350萬,年來的最高點,科學家預估,如果超過450ppm,地球將增溫攝氏兩度,這意味將有更多,毀滅性的極端氣候,一起來看看。


8.體檢環基法十年海岸篇(3)東海岸 Pristine no more

Over the past few days, we looked into how Taiwan`s west coast faces the constant threat of environmental degradation, due to industrial development and the growing population. Today, however, we shift our focus to Taiwan`s relatively untouched east coast, where a new threat is emerging in the shape of the tourism industry. With over 20 major resorts and BOT projects, in the pipeline, for the fragile and pristine coastline of Taitung(台東), activists and environmentalist worry that such projects will not only destroy the beauty of Taiwan`s east coast, but also threaten the lifestyle of the indigenous tribes that currently call the area their home.

過去幾天,我們了解到,台灣西海岸面臨,持續的環境污染,因為工業發展與持續增加的人口,今日我們將焦點轉到,開發較為落後的東海岸,因為觀光業而衍生出問題,這裡有20多座大型度假村,以及BOT建案正擱置著,破壞台東脆弱原始的海岸線,環保人士擔心這些計畫,會破壞台灣東海岸的美麗,威脅原始部落的生活方式。

END:印助學母親節

We end today`s program in Indonesia; besides providing scholarship support to underprivileged students, Tzu Chi volunteers also held an event at the Tzu Chi Indonesia Chapter in Jakarta, to promote filial piety. The children showed their love and gratitude to their parents by serving tea and giving them a foot bath. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for tuning in. Goodbye.

節目的最後來到印尼,除了提供獎學金給貧困學生,慈濟志工也在,雅加達的印尼慈濟分會,舉辦活動,推廣孝道,孩子們透過奉茶與洗手腳,對父母表達愛與感恩,讓我們一起來看看,感恩收看,再會。(2013.05.27)

Welcome to Da Ai Headlines. I’m Wendy Chen. Thank you for joining us. Coming up in today’s top stories, in the United States, Tzu Chi’s mobile clinic arrives in Milpitas, California, to provide dental treatments to local residents. In France, we meet a volunteer couple Zheng Long(鄭龍) and Lv Yue(呂月), to see how they promote Tzu Chi’s work in the European country. And, we see how environmental protection is overlooked when it comes to industrial development on the west coast of Taiwan.


歡迎收看大愛英語新聞,我是陳美瑾,感恩您的加入。今天的提要:在美國,慈濟巡迴醫療車來到加州密爾必達園區,為當地居民義診。在法國,帶大家認識慈濟道侶,鄭龍和呂月,看看慈濟志業如何在歐洲發揚光大。接著,來看西台灣工業發展後如何影響到環保。

1. 美大愛牙醫定點

In California, the United States, Tzu Chi’s mobile clinic arrived in Milpitas to perform free dental services. This time, the mobile clinic will stay in the city, in order to provide local residents ample health care opportunities and to recruit more volunteers who recognize Tzu Chi’s ideals.

美國的大愛醫療巡迴車將停留在加州的密爾必達市,展開定點服務,不但可以照顧社區居民,也能招募更多的志工。


2. 蘆山不倒(3)

Moving to China, in Lushan(盧山) County, Sichuan(四川) Province, Wan Chenghai(萬成海), who is in the architecture industry, built a dream home for his family some 8 years ago. However, his house was severely damaged by the recent Yaan(雅安) Earthquake. Though devastated, the man is grateful that his family is safe and slowly recovering from the tremor.

轉到中國四川盧山縣,八年前,萬成海用自己的雙手為家人打造完美的家,但是雅安地震震毀他的家,雖然家毀了,萬成海很感恩家人依然健在,慢慢在復原中。


3. 大陸推素義賣
Also in China; Tzu Chi volunteers are promoting vegetarianism in their local communities. At the vegetarian cooking class in Kunshan(昆山), Jiangsu(江蘇) Province, students learned how to cook a delicious meatless meal, and hoped to invite their family members to join them. Meanwhile in Zhangzhou(漳州), Fujian(福建) Province, a vegetarian restaurant owner who is also a volunteer, provides free lunch every 1st and 15th day of the lunar calendar, to enable her community to enjoy the healthy and environmental benefits that vegetarianism has to offer.

也在中國,慈濟志工在不同地區推廣素食,在江蘇昆山會所,慈濟志工辦素食班,有些家庭主婦來學習,希望帶動身邊的家人吃素。另外,在福建漳州,有一間志工開的素食餐館,每逢初一十五免費供應午餐,讓更多人享受素食的美好。


《 靜思語 》

Walk on the right path, open the right door, express the right thoughts through action.

行正道,走正門,以外在行動表現內心正念。


4. 法入凱旋門(4)巴黎種子

Continuing on Tzu Chi’s work in Europe; in France, we meet a volunteer couple, Zheng Long(鄭龍) and Lv Yue(呂月), who prior to the new Tzu Chi office in Paris, turned their home to a gathering ground for the like-minded, and devoted themselves to promoting the Buddhist NGO to anyone they came across. The pair also stayed in touch with Master Cheng Yen’s teachings through watching Da Ai TV. Thanks to the couple’s hard work, now there is a new Tzu Chi office in Europe.

持續來看在歐洲的慈濟志業,法國菩薩道侶鄭龍、呂月,帶著佛心師志修行,起初聞法艱辛,夫妻倆想盡方法,透過管道看到大愛台,跟上人連心,在沒有一個正式的會所之前,兩人的住家變成暫時的會所,因為兩人共同承擔,現在,在歐洲有了新會所。


5. 法入凱旋門(5)不一樣的力量

Tzu Chi could not have opened its first office in Paris, without the help of many people. For example, two Chinese nationals from Cambodia who have lived in France for 30 years, volunteered to take on the maintenance and repair work at the office and do an amazing job without spending a dime. And let’s not forget Taiwan’s ambassador to France, Lu Ching-Long(呂慶龍), who seizes every opportunity to promote Tzu Chi’s work during his speeches.

慈濟歐洲的第一個會所設在巴黎,是許多人一起努力的結晶,例如在法國居住超過30年的兩位柬埔寨華僑,志願擔任起會所的水電工,施工竟然不需要花材料費,更功不可沒的是,台灣駐法代表呂慶龍,他在各種場合推廣慈濟不遺餘力,一起來看看我們的報導。



《 衲履足跡 》

On Education

In this day and age, with values so skewed, we need to be extra diligent. Master Cheng Yen hopes that everyone will work from the same aspiration to create a solid foundation of moral education. By nurturing future talents and establishing educational models, we can bring about a revolution in our educational practices.

主題:談教育

開示:在價值觀偏差的時代,更要提高警覺,希望大家有志一同,穩固生活教育、品德教育的基礎,盡心力為天下育英才,也樹立教育典範,帶動整體教育風氣 。


6. 體檢環基法十年海岸篇(2)西海岸

In the recent years, industrial developments have led to increasing pollutions on our coastlines, particularly on the west. Lawyers specializing in environmental law believe that the problems have arisen, because Taiwan has no laws governing the use and protection of its seacoasts. Although the Basic Environmental Act has been in effect for ten years, Taiwan has yet to extend environmental protection to the oceans that surround the island. Here’s more.

最近幾年因工業發展,讓污染問題層出不窮,尤其是在西海岸,專研環境保護的律師相信問題還會更嚴重,其最主要原因是,因為沒有海岸法可以好好保護我們的海岸,雖然環基法立法十年,但台灣仍未對海洋善盡保護之責,一起來看看。


7. 馬惟孝楊麗銀

In Malaysia, we meet a staff from the Tzu Chi Malaysia Chapter, Yang Liyin(楊麗銀), who was a rebellious child when she was young. Thankfully, after joining Tzu Chi and seeing those who are less fortunate, Yang realized how blessed she was and decided to quit her bad habits and also became a filial child.

在馬來西亞,我們來看馬來西亞分會同仁楊麗銀的故事,她原本是年少輕狂的孩子,但在慈濟上班後,從個案的訪視中見苦知福,於是她開始改變以往的惡習,也發願向父母行孝。


End: 東京浴佛發放

We end today’s program in Japan; Tzu Chi volunteers in Tokyo seized the opportunity at their monthly distribution, and held a mobile Buddha Day ceremony for the homeless. Though it rained on the day, participants put on rain coats and umbrellas, to pay respect to the Enlightened One. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for tuning in. Goodbye.

節目最後,在日本東京,慈濟志工在這個月的發放日,為居無定所的街友舉辦小型的浴佛典禮,活動當天儘管下雨,大家仍然撐著傘穿著雨衣,虔誠禮佛,一起來看看,感恩收看,再會。(2013.05.24)

1. 海地義診

We kick off the show in Haiti, at one of the schools Tzu Chi helped rebuild, Haiti TIMA members held their second free clinic on May 18th, local time, to serve a total of 750 patients. In addition to the 22 local doctors, members of the US TIMA also arrived to take part.

在慈濟協助重建的其中一所學校,海地慈濟人醫會在5月18日舉辦第二次的義診活動,服務七百五十位病患,除了當地二十二位醫師,還有美國人醫會的加入。


2. 昆士蘭發放

In Australia, a tropical cyclone hit the state of Queensland in late January, causing massive floods in the city of Bundaberg. Knowing that many flood victims, still faced difficulties in rebuilding their homes, Brisbane Tzu Chi volunteers returned to the disaster site, to provide assistance and propose a relief work program.

在澳洲,一月底,熱帶氣旋侵襲澳洲昆士蘭,造成邦德堡市嚴重水患,聽說許多居民在重建家園上遭遇困難,布里斯本的慈濟志工再度前往提供協助,並提出以工代賑的想法。


3. 蘆山不倒(2)

In China, it has been a month, since the Yaan(雅安) Earthquake devastated Sichuan Province, and the Chinese government has established plans, to help quake survivors move out of tents, and start a new page of their lives. In our next report, let’s take a look, at the current living conditions of quake survivors, still living in the designated tent areas.

大陸四川 雅安地震一個月過去了,中國政府也推出計劃幫助受災鄉親,搬出帳棚重新生活,下一則新聞,我們來看看目前帳棚區受災鄉親的生活狀況。

真誠的微笑與祝福,是安定人心的大力量。


4. 法入凱旋門(2)第一站巴黎

With the establishment of Tzu Chi’s first office in Europe, the office will not only be a sanctuary for Tzu Chi volunteers, but also a cultivation ground to gather more like minded individuals. This grand opening, marks a new beginning, for other European Tzu Chi volunteers.

歐洲第一個慈濟會所正式啟用,不僅成了當地志工的依歸,還能接引更多菩薩,新會所的啟用,對於歐洲慈濟志工來說,是一個新的開始。


5. 法入凱旋門(3)美麗與哀愁

France is the fifth largest economy in the world, and its capital, Paris, is the world’s center of fine arts, fashion, and culture. Because of the European debt crisis, the country is battling the highest unemployment in 13 years. Therefore, it makes us wonder, whether living in Paris, is no longer peaches and cream?

法國是世界第五大經濟體,首都巴黎更是世界的藝術、時尚設計與文化中心,不過卻因為歐債的影響,法國失業率已經創下13年新高,我們不得不懷疑,生活在花都巴黎,是否還是如此愜意。


《 衲履足跡 》

On the Buddha

The Buddha is not a god to whom we pray, but a teacher to whom we show respect for showing us the right path to walk.
So every year on Buddha Day, Buddhists have a responsibility to tell everyone of this saint that once walked the earth. His solomn image, therefore, is just a tool to bring people closer to his message.


主題:談佛陀

開示:佛陀不是被拜求的神,而是一位導師,引導眾生行往正確的方向。所以每年的佛誕節,佛教徒有責任告訴大家,地球曾出現一位大覺者佛陀,故以莊嚴虔誠的形象,接引人人了解佛陀來人間的意義。


6. 體檢環基法十年海岸篇(1)事件簿

Taiwan passed the Basic Environment Act, 10 years ago, to help protect the country’s beautiful natural resources, from abuse by humans. Article 28, which states that the government, will seek monetary compensation from those, who cause pollution, to help restore the environment, helped the country cope with a series of oil spills that happened later. But many say that Article 3, which gives environmental protection priority over development, and Article 17, intended to preserve indigenous culture and peoples, were overlooked, when Taitung(台東)’s Mi-ra-mar Resort build-operate-transfer project was commissioned. Where does the country really stand on environmental protection 10 years later? Here’s more.

十年前台灣成立了環境基本法,要保護台灣美麗的自然資源不受到人類的破壞,根據環基法28條,政府對污染及破壞者可徵收污染防治及環境復育費用,幫助政府應付這之後發生的一連串的油汙事件,但環基法3條說,環境保護優先於建設,與環基法17條說,要兼顧原住民權益,在台東美麗灣度假村BOT案中卻被完全忽視,到底10年來台灣政府對環保是抱著什麼樣的心態,一起來看看我們的報導。


7. 時光機--地震防災

Monday, May 20th, marked the first anniversary of the Yaan(雅安 )earthquake in China, and 14 years ago, Taiwan was devastated by the 9/21 tremor. The earthquake also made many areas prone to landslides, and sparked concerns, in the architectural design, scientific and disaster prevention sectors, urging engineers and scientists, to re-evaluate their regulations and activities. In our next report, we find out what Taiwan has learned, from the painful experience of the 1999 disaster.

四川雅安大地震在5/20屆滿一個月,台灣在14年前的921大地震,造成全台灣多處國土崩塌,卻也讓建築界、科學界與防災體系痛定思痛,重新檢討我們的耐震設計與規範,接下來的報導,帶大家回顧921後台灣如何用科技防災。

1.法入凱旋門(1)慈濟歐盟足跡Tzu Chi in Europe

For the past decade, Tzu Chi volunteers have promoted the Buddhist NGO`s work in the Netherlands, Germany, England, France and other European nations. But each of the countries has different laws and customs. Tzu Chi`s challenge is how to best spread its ideals and recruit new volunteers in these culturally different environments.

十多年前慈濟志工進到歐洲推動慈濟的活動,菩薩瞬間湧現荷蘭、德國、英國、法國及多個歐洲國家,但歐洲的每個國家國情不同,法律也不同,在這個文化多元之地,推廣慈濟理念可是需要智慧。


2.蘆山不倒A month aftaer 420 Yaan quake

This Monday, May 20th, marked the first month anniversary of the Yaan(雅安) Earthquake in China`s Sichuan(四川) Province. In the immediate aftermath, the Chinese government launched a ”Temporary Settlement Plan” to place quake survivors in designated tent areas. And today, a ”Transitional Resettlement Plan” is also drawn up, to encourage these residents to rent houses or move in with relatives or friends, with the subsidies provided by the government.

5月20號,星期一,正是四川雅安強震滿一個月的時候,強震後,中國政府啟動臨時安置計畫,將受災居民安頓在帳棚區,如今即將進入過渡安置計畫,鼓勵受災居民利用政府補助金租房子或投靠親友。


3.川愛伴重生(7)愛心接力Love`s influence in Sichuan

Staying in China; the 2008 Wenchuan(汶川) Earthquake changed the lives of many local residents, and today, many survivors have finally moved on and are finding a re-newed sese of life. Such changes can be seen in Chen Qiufan(陳秋帆), who was only 17 the year the tremor rattled her hometown, and escaped death as she was late for class. Inspired by the tragic event, Chen now studies nursing and is also promoting recycling at school. But first, we meet a group of senior recycling volunteers in Hanwang(漢旺), who despite their own hardship, collect recyclables three days a week in their community, in hopes of paying the love forward.
中國2008年汶川地震,改變很多當地人的生活,如今許多倖存者都展開新生活,陳秋帆就是個例子,當年地震發生時,她十七歲,當時她是因為愛玩,晚進教室才逃過一劫,由於這場悲劇的震撼,讓她決定就讀護理系,並在校園裡推動環保,但首先,我們先看看漢旺的這群環保老菩薩,雖然生活辛苦,但每個星期有三天都往社區去收環保,希望讓這分愛傳出去。


4.0518民間自發力Rescue teams of different NGOs

In times of any disaster, be it natural or accidental, besides police officers, the military or firefighters, there is another important group of men who play a vital role in rescue efforts, and they are the volunteer rescue workers from many different charity organizations in our society, including the Red Cross, Taiwan`s Search and Rescue Association and Tzu Chi Foundation. These rescue workers are required to attend regular trainings, and in the event of an emergency, they will show up wherever and whenever needed.

每當災難發生的時候,不論是天災還是意外,除了仰賴軍警消之外,還有一批重要的救援人力,正是來自民間的救難人員,這些民間團體包含紅十字會、中華搜救總會,以及慈濟基金會等,他們平時參與各種專業訓練、搜救課程,一旦有災難發生,救難志工就得立即出動,朝著民眾最需要幫助的地方前進 。


5.斯國食物發放Food distribution for care recipients

Moving to Sri Lanka; in Colombo, local volunteers carried out a food distribution for care recipients. As they delivered aid supplies to the doorsteps of these residents, many donated their bamboo coin banks to reciprocate Tzu Chi`s love.

在斯里蘭卡的可倫坡,本土志工為照顧戶們進行食物發放,志工挨家挨戶把生活物資送到照顧戶家中,許多照顧戶為了回報慈濟的關懷,紛紛捐出他們的愛心竹筒。


6.海地茶花道課A class of art

In Haiti, as the three schools built by Tzu Chi for the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Anne officially opened, Tzu Chi US Headquarters organized a special class on tea ceremony and flower arrangement, hoping to share the organization`s humanitarian spirit with these students.

在海地聖恩修女會三所學校正式啟用後,慈濟美國總會特別為秘書學校的學生們,準備茶道和花道的一堂課,希望分享慈濟的人文精神。


END:印尼長者關懷

We end today`s program in Indonesia, and join Tzu Chi volunteers who regularly visit senior residents at local nursing homes in West Java each month. At every visit, volunteers not only help residents trim their nails and give them haircuts, but also deliver family-like love and care. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for tuning in. Goodbye.

節目的最後來到印尼,當地慈濟志工每個月都前往西爪哇的養老院,探訪年老的長者,每次的訪視中,志工不但幫忙修指甲、剪頭髮,還給予家人般的關懷。節目最後一起來看看,感恩您的收看,再會。

1. 海地啟用典禮
We kick off the show in Haiti; on May 17th Haitian time, Tzu Chi and the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Anne, held an opening ceremony for the three schools, that the Buddhist NGO has rebuilt. The event was attended by approximately 500 people. Sister Rita from the congregation’s headquarters in Canada said, that Tzu Chi not only rebuilt schools, but also brought hope to Haiti.

節目的一開始,在5月17日海地時間,慈濟和聖恩修女會共同舉辦三所女子學校的啟用典禮,有將近500位貴賓前來參與,聖恩修女會加拿大本會瑞塔修女說,慈濟給的不僅是幾棟建築物而已,而是把希望帶到海地。


2. 海地訪幼兒園
Prior to the opening ceremony for the three schools that Tzu Chi has rebuilt, 33 Tzu Chi volunteers from the United States, Canada and Taiwan arrived at the Milier Kindergarten in Port-au-Prince, to hand out pencil boxes to students. The visit was also attended by Joseph Champagne, the mayor of South Toms River, New Jersey, who originally comes from Haiti.

海地聖恩修女會三所女子學校援建啟用典禮的之前,33位來自美國、加拿大,還有台灣的慈濟志工,來到太子港的米勒幼兒園,發送鉛筆盒給當地的學童,參與其中的還有來自海地、現任新澤西南湯姆斯河市市長約瑟夫。


3. 海地三人物
Problems of infrastructure and governmental administration, can be daunting in Haiti, but Tzu Chi and Overseas Engineering and Construction Company, worked together to overcome difficulties, in the building of the three schools. In our next report, let’s meet the three people that made everything possible.

海地的基礎建設和政府制度不完善的情況下,慈濟和負責施工的海外工程公司,克服萬難,讓工程得以順利完成,接下來的報導,我們來認識讓這一切順利完成的三位人物。


《 靜思語 》
With the righteous thoughts, we will have everlasting perseverance.

心力若正,毅力就無窮盡。

4. 海地浴佛

Having helped rebuild three schools in Haiti, Tzu Chi volunteers also took the opportunity, to hold a Buddha Day ceremony, inside the Catholic Saint Alexandre Church. This was the fourth consecutive celebration, held at the church, after the Buddhist NGO first set foot in the country, in response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

在協助海地重建三所學校後,慈濟志工也順便在聖亞拉罕卓教堂再次舉行浴佛典禮,自從因為2010年海地地震而踏上這片土地後,這是連續第四年在這裡浴佛。


5. 從汶川到雅安

In China, following the Wenchuan(汶川) Earthquake in 2008, which led to major injuries and daths, both relief work and aid supplies were heavily delayed. Learning from this painful experience, the Chinese government’s response and relief work, after the recent Yaan(雅安) earthquake saw great progress.

在中國,2008年的汶川地震造成嚴重傷亡,過後賑災工作與物資遲遲展開,抵達災區,從經驗中學習,中國政府在最近雅安地震後,展現了迅速的救災工作。


6. 川愛伴重生(6)以愛相伴

In the aftermath of the Wenchuan(汶川) Earthquake, many non-governmental organizations poured into Sichuan(四川), China, to help in Mingshan(名山) District, Yaan(雅安) City. Taiwan’s Red Cross relief efforts, eventually led the local social workers to care for their own.

Coming up in today’s top stories, we join Vietnam Tzu Chi volunteers in Ho Chi Minh City, as they carry out their regular home visitation. In China, we meet a survivor of the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake, Wei Yunlu(魏云露), to see how she is doing today with her newly fitted prosthesis leg. And, we meet a cancer patient caseworker at the Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital, Lin Yinghui(林英惠) who makes sure her patients are following up on their treatment.

5. 泰國浴佛

1. 越照顧戶發放

We kick off today’s program in Vietnam, each month Tzu Chi volunteers will travel to the 8th and 9th boroughs in Ho Chi Minh City, to carry out home visitations. In addition to learning about the lives of care recipients there, volunteers also hand out subsidies to help cover their daily living expenses. By witnessing poverty first-hand, volunteers gain an even deeper understanding of the importance of Tzu Chi’s timely charitable work, and are also inspired to cherish their own blessings.

一開始來到越南,越南慈濟志工每個月都會固定前往胡志明市第八郡、第九郡進行家訪,除了了解照顧戶的生活近況,也替他們送來生活費用,許多志工都是在訪視的過程中親眼看見這些貧困的生活環境,讓他們更懂得要及時付出而加入慈濟,也鼓勵大家惜福。


2. 中風嬤居家清掃

Moving to Taiwan, a senior resident in Yuanlin(員林) Town of Changhua(彰化) County, is paralyzed from the waist down after suffering a stroke, yet, she still shoulders the responsibility of caring for her two grandsons. With limited mobility, garbage slowly piled up and the living environment became unhygienic. Upon seeing this family’s plight, Tzu Chi volunteers soon arrived with their cleaning tools, and helped restore the house to its original cleanliness.

在台灣彰化縣員林的一位長者,中風造成半身癱瘓,但阿嬤必須照顧兩個小孫子,因為行動不便,沒有能力整理家務,家裡垃圾和雜物堆積如山,慈濟志工看到他們困境,決定給這家人乾淨舒適的生活空間。


《 靜思語 》

One who acts with integrity and a sincere heart will win the trust of others.

心誠、行正,就能受人肯定信任。


3. 川愛伴重生(5)大步邁進

In the past few days, we have brought you stories on all the rebuilding efforts and work in China, following the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake. Today, we continue the topic, by bringing you the story of Wei Yunlu(魏云露), who was a month away from graduating from elementary school when the earthquake struck. The tremor took away the lives of 16 of her classmates as well as her left leg. Nonetheless, the love that poured into Sichuan afterwards, gave her a pros-the-sis leg to stand on and a new mission in life. She is now a junior in high school and lives her life to the fullest in loving memory of her 16 classmates.

過去幾天帶大家看了中國 2008四川地震後愛伴重生的報導,帶各位認識魏云露的故事。2008四川地震時,只剩不到一個月就要小學畢業了,地震卻奪走班上16人的性命,還有她的左小腿,在各界讓愛援助四川的支援下,她裝上義肢,也給予她新的志向,現在這個高二的小女生,用功念書,要想把16人份的生命活下來。


4. 菲律賓浴佛

Continuing on with our Buddha Day reports from around the globe; the Buddha Day ceremony organized by the Tzu Chi Philippines Chapter, took place at the Marikina Sports Park on May 12th. Joining the event were the mayor of Marikina City, Dharma Master Dao Yuan(道元) and other monks, as well as Catholic nuns. And with gratitude, respect and love, 10,500 participants came together to pray for peace and harmony for our the world.

持續看全球浴佛節的報導,慈濟菲律賓分會在馬利僅那市舉辦浴佛活動,市長也特別出席,佛教協會道元法師,還有天主教修女,都前來參加,用感恩、尊重與愛的心,一萬零五百人一同合十祈禱。


5. 泰國浴佛

Also holding a Buddha Day ceremony are Tzu Chi volunteers in Thailand; who organized this year’s event at the Taiwanese center in Samut Prakan Province. Besides the Buddhist ritual, Tzu Chi volunteers also set aside an area for an exhibition, to promote vegetarianism and recycling concepts. The event was attended by 378 Tzu Chi volunteers, foundation staff and members of the public, all of whom came together to honor the Buddha, parents and all living beings.

慈濟泰國分會也舉辦浴佛的活動,今年的浴佛典禮地點選在北攬府的台灣會館舉行,志工們還特地布置了靜態展區,推廣素食和環保觀念。而莊嚴的浴佛典禮,有378位慈濟志工、同仁,以及民眾,一起前來感念佛恩、親恩,以及眾生恩。


《衲履足跡》

On Spreading the Dharma

Understanding the Dharma and being aware of cause and effect means that complex situations become quite simple. Bring the dharma into peoples’ hearts and they find peace. A Buddhist is not someone who asks for protection or blessings on their behalf, but a person who strives to introduce right beliefs, right knowledge and right views to all beings.

主題:談法入心

開示:懂得佛法、知因果,遇到任何事,就會自然地化複雜為簡單;將佛法落實於人心,即可安定心緒。信佛不是要求保佑或加持,而是要引入正信與正知正見。


6. 護理護你(5)林英惠

A cancer patient caseworker is someone who makes sure cancer patients are following their treatment program. We now introduce you to Lin Yinghui(林英惠), who holds such a title at the Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital. At first a nurse, Yinghui(英惠) was inspired by her father who developed cancer, to take on the new position. Here is her story.
所謂癌症個案管理師,就是協助癌症病患就醫治療,現在為您介紹花蓮慈濟醫院的一位癌症個案管理師林英惠,原本是護理師的她,為父親的關係而接下了這分工作,一起來看看她的故事。


7. 幫母做回收
In Taiwan, after her father passed away, Tainan(台南) Tzu Chi volunteer Song Yilan(宋依蘭) couldn’t bear to see her mother grieving alone at home all day, so she invited her to volunteer at the local Tzu Chi recycling station. Song’s mother enjoyed collecting and recycling plastic bags, until health problems forced her to cut back on volunteer work. To put her mother’s mind at ease, Song Yilan(宋依蘭) has taken over her mother’s recycling work.

在台灣,台南慈濟志工宋依蘭,父親往生後,不忍母親整日鬱鬱寡歡,把母親帶到環保站做環保,母親也因為這樣愛上做環保,而且特別喜歡做塑膠袋的回收,一直到健康出了問題,才沒做環保的工作,現在宋依蘭就代替媽媽去做環保。


8. 居家義診慈母
Staying in Taiwan, but moving to Kaohsiung(高雄) City for our final report of the day, to meet Ms. Zhang(張), whose daughter was left paralyzed from the neck down after an accident 19 years ago. To ease her burden, a TIMA doctor and Tzu Chi volunteers arrived at her house, to check up on her daughter’s health condition and let this brave mother know, that Tzu Chi will always be there by her side.

也是台灣的報導,我們來到台灣高雄來認識張女士。19年前一次意外,使得張女士的女兒下半身癱瘓,為了幫助張女士,人醫會醫師和慈濟志工前往她的家居家義診,也讓這位勇敢的媽媽知道,慈濟永遠都在身邊陪伴著她。

We kick off today`s program in Durban, South Africa, Tzu Chi volunteers organized two Buddha Day ceremonies - one for members of the Chinese community and the other for local volunteers and South Africans. While most of the Zulu volunteers are Catholic, they nonetheless paid homage to the Buddha with sincerity and respect.

一開始帶大家到南非的德本,志工舉辦浴佛典禮,分成兩個場次,一場是華人社區浴佛,一場是本土志工浴佛,雖然大多數的祖魯族志工都信仰天主教,他們依然虔誠禮敬諸佛。


2.護理慈母心Expressing her gratitude

When Xie Chunan(謝淳安) came into the world at Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital in Taiwan, she weighed only 720 grams, slightly heavier than a small bottle of mineral water. But the hospital`s medical team brought her safely through the critical period and she has now grown to be a happy, healthy 7-year-old girl. Accompanied by her family, Chunan(淳安) has returned to the neo-na-tal intensive-care unit, to express her thanks to the nursing staff for taking such good care of her.

After the 921 earthquake in Taiwan, Tzu Chi started rebuilding schools in hard hit areas with its Project Hope campaign, in hopes of giving students a safe and comfortable environment, in which to continue their education. After the 512 Sichuan Earthquake, Tzu Chi Foundation simi-lar-ly started rebuilding efforts in China. When the massive 420 earthquake struck in April, one of the rebuilt schools, Qianjin(前進) Elementary School, became a temporary shelter for local residents, as the building was constructed to withstand an 8.0 magnitude tremor. The school`s education is also infused with Tzu Chi`s philosophy, and each student does their best to help preserve the school.

台灣九二一地震過後,慈濟在台灣的災區援建學校稱作希望工程,希望給孩子最安心、最安全的校舍,繼續讀書,同樣在中國,也要進行援建的工作,在這次420地震中,前進小學成為當地居民安心的避難所,前進小學把感恩當作教育中心思想之一,在這裡讓孩子從生活中點滴,學會感恩。

Many are learning to pursue their own happiness. Here`s more.

根據政府的統計,目前台灣老年人口已經有將近250萬人,再過不到五年,還可能一舉突破300萬人,台灣正邁向老年化社會,年輕人必須思考是否有盡孝道,而老年人也未必要等年輕人來服務自己,很多長者也已經主動追求幸福,以下是我們的報導。

2.護理護你(二)志為護理鄭雅君Committed to nursing

Experts believe that the shortage of nurses in Taiwan, is due to a lack of passion in the profession. And many nursing students upon graduation, have second thoughts, about entering the field, when faced with the reality of the hard work, a career in nursing entails. Zheng Yajun (鄭雅君), head nurse of the pe-di-a-trics ward, at the Hualien(花蓮) Tzu Chi Hospital, once felt that way, but now nursing has become a part of her life.

許多專家提出護理荒,是因為對護理少了熱情,許多護理人員在剛畢業時,面對實際的繁重的臨床工作時就會萌生退意,在花蓮慈院小兒科病房的護理長,鄭雅君也是如此,但現在對她來說護理工作,已經是她生活的一部分。


3.川 愛伴重生(1)五年Love`s influence in disaster times

On May 12th, 2008, China`s Sichuan(四川) Province, experienced a 8.0 magnitude earthquake; it not only shook local residents, but also the world. Everyone jumped to assist with rebuilding efforts, and in less than four years, rebuilding was completed. During this time, Tzu Chi and other NGOs arrived in China, inspiring local charity organizations to flourish as well. In our new reports, we take a look at how love has influenced Sichuan(四川), in the past five years.

2008年5月12號,四川發生芮氏規模8.0強震,不僅居民驚嚇,也震驚世界,全世界的愛心湧入,協助四川重建,四川在不到四年的時間重建完成,期間,慈濟以及其他NGO團體 都進駐中國,因此也讓中國NGO團體也蓬勃成長,今天的專題愛伴重生,看看五年來,愛的力量所產生的影響。


4.0511傳承報親恩Staying connected thru cooking

Often times when children want to be filial to their parents, the parents might no longer be around. It is therefore important to seize the moment to honor our parents. Today, we introduce you to the story of Ding Wenling(丁玟玲). She hated manual labor and working in a hot and oily environment, but is now an successful banquet chef in Taiwan`s Yunlin(雲林) County, because of her love for her father.

子欲養而親不在,所以我們要把握當下,對父母親盡孝,今天為您介紹丁玟玲的故事,她原本討厭粗重的工作,與又熱又油的工作環境,卻因為對父親的愛,而成了台灣雲林的總舖師。


5.慈母慈濟情(1)林郭阿菊A mother`s love

In spite of having sustained arm and shoulder injuries in accidents and wearing a knee pros-thesis, she still insists on caring for her son, who has been semi-paralyzed by a stroke. To pay for medical bills, Mrs. Lin(林) works part-time as a dishwasher in a local restaurant. She and her son have been listed as Tzu Chi care recipients, but recently Mrs. Lin(林) has requested that the money Tzu Chi gives her, be used to help others in greater need.

家住在台中市豐原區,七十歲的林媽媽,因為車禍和工作意外,肩膀和左手受傷,膝蓋是人工關節,但她還是全天候照顧中風癱瘓的兒子,為了籌措醫藥費,林媽媽到餐廳洗碗賺錢,被慈濟列為慈濟照顧戶,進行經濟補助,不過,最近林媽媽希望把慈濟貼補自己的錢,轉而幫助更貧苦的人。


6.雙和孝親Promoting filial piety

Prior to Mother`s Day, Zhonghe(中和) and Yonghe(永和) Tzu Chi volunteers in New Taipei City, both organized events to promote filial piety. Through puppet shows, interactive activities and serving tea to parents, children all realized their parents` hardship, in raising a family, and vowed to do whatever they could, to ease their parents` burden.

母親節到來之前,新北市中和與永和區,慈濟志工在社區舉辦孝親感恩活動,透過布袋戲互動遊戲,還有奉茶,子女更深刻體會父母扶養孩子的辛勞,也都發願要分擔家務,減輕父母的負擔。

7.0510孝的轉變4 generations under one roof

Taiwan`s unemployment rate continues to rise and for the nation`s over 1.1 million people who suffer from disabilities, finding a job is even more difficult. Currently, our government is promoting a work model called Special Subsidiary Enterprise, where incentives are given to companies who hire disabled workers. In Tainan(台南), a steel company has become the first Special Subsidiary Enterprise in Taiwan, with 20 percent of its workers having special needs.

台灣的失業率居高不下,因此對台灣110多萬名身心障礙人士來說,就業就更加困難了,因此台灣政府日前就推出,特例子公司獎勵聘請身心障礙者的公司,在台南市的一家鋼鐵母公司就是第一家台灣的「特例子公司」,這家公司聘用的身心障礙員工就佔了全公司的五分之一。

Recently, Mr. Zhuang`s mother was also hospitalized after becoming ill, and Tzu Chi volunteers arrived to comfort this family in need.
