Welcome to Da Ai Headlines. I”m Leeway Tsai. Thank you for joining us. Coming up in the show today, more than 400 disadvantaged students in Heping county, in China”s Guangdong Province, received scholarship awards from Tzu Chi. In Thailands”s Nakhon Sawan, community volunteers, who are mostly medical personnel, sharpen their caregiving skills in Tzu Chi”s four-day volunteer seminar. And later, in our series of features on Taiwan”s sunset trades, today we look at the business of engraving seals, and meet a craftswoman who still insists on engraving by hand, to give the chops a unique touch.

1. 和平助學金
To kick off the show, Tzu Chi volunteers in China”s Guangdong Province traveled to Heping County, to visit students in Yangming(陽明) and Fuhe(福和) Middle Schools, and hand out scholarship funds. A total of 427 students not only received tuition support, but also learned about the importance of conservation work, and what it means to ”eat 80 percent full, and leave 20 percent to help the poor”.
節目的一開始，中國廣東慈濟志工前往和平縣探訪陽明中學以及福和中學，發放助學金，427位學生不只接受補助，同時也學習到環保觀念，還有每餐八分飽，留二分來助人的觀念。
2. 泰第八次培訓
n Thailand, Tzu Chi recently held its 8th community volunteer training program. This time around, many of the participants came from a nearby hospital in Nakhon Sawan. To accommodate attendants” needs and interests, volunteers emphasized the medical aspects of Tzu Chi”s mission during the 4-day training. Among those attending was the chief of Ratchaburi Department of Public Health, Dr. Chow Boon Liong, who was certified as a Tzu Chi commissioner last year. Dr. Chow was here again this year to do his part in encouraging trainees to do their best in helping further Tzu Chi”s cause in Thailand.
泰國舉辦第八梯次的社區志工培訓，這次參加培訓的成員，多數來自那空沙旺府的醫院，因此慈濟志工在四天的課程設計上，特別加強醫療志工的關懷技巧。而剛在去年受證的叻丕府衛生署長鄒文良，更是一連四天都陪伴大家上課，希望大家都能成為成為慈濟在泰國的種子。
3. 德本本土培訓
Moving to South Africa, recently, in Durban, a seminar was held for 350 local volunteers from all over KwaZulu Natal Province. Some of the attendants live more than 200km away, and spent hours on the road for the much-awaited gathering. The trip was rather painstaking for many, as there were riots near the venue the night before, forcing volunteers to travel extra miles to avoid harm and get to the seminar. Nevertheless, everyone made an effort to arrive on time. At the end of the workshop, three local volunteers who couldn”t travel to Taiwan at the end of last year to be certified as commissioners were inducted in a solemn ceremony.
南非德本慈濟志工舉行本土幹部研習，三百五十位本地志工參加，最遠的從200公里外遠趕來，花了好幾個小時，路途變得特別遙遠，因為遇到附近社區有暴動，不過志工不畏辛苦依舊出席，研習會最後，三位無法回到台灣受證的祖魯志工也完成受證，場面莊嚴。
4. 印全寶靜思語
The next story takes us to Indonesia, where the real estate company Summarecon launched a Jing Si aphorisms contest. 56 employees were challenged to learn 90 Jing Si aphorisms off by heart, with the grand prize being a trip to Taiwan to meet Master Cheng Yen.
下一則故事，我們來到印尼，印尼全寶集團最近舉辦靜思語背誦比賽，56位員工挑戰背誦90句靜思語，完成挑戰的獎品，是到台灣拜見證嚴上人。
《 靜思語 》
Life may be long or short, but virtuous deeds carried out with genuine sincerity create beautiful melodies of life.
無論人生長短，只要真實地付出善念，就是很美的生命樂章。
5. 馬喪妻做環保
Life may indeed be short, and one of the most painful experiences is losing a loved one. 73-year-old Mr. Ye Jincai from Serendah Town in Selangor, Malaysia, lost his wife recently. However, he hasn”t let his sorrow get the better of him, but has instead thrown himself into collecting recyclables for Tzu Chi, even getting his daughter to join him in the work. The senior”s devotion to the environment has given him a new purpose of life, because what he does may be little, but every bit helps when it comes to saving the planet.
人生苦短，最痛苦的事情之一就是失去親人。馬來西亞雙文丹有位73歲的葉金財阿公，日前太太往生，不過他沒有讓自己沉溺於悲痛，透過撿拾回收物給慈濟，忘卻傷痛，還帶動他的女兒一起做環保，儘管難過，但他卻懂得好好善用自己的人生，讓生命活得更有價值，就算做的不多，每一分心力都算數。
6. 愛的畢業證書
In Taiwan, Zhang Yuanchun (張媛淳), a 4th year nursing student at Hungkuang (弘光) University was born with a cleft lip. Four years ago, after getting a corrective surgery on her lip, she not only gained more self-confidence, but also vowed to help others just like her. Sadly, on March 19th, on her way home from class, Yuanchun got into a car accident and lost her life. During her memorial service, her school presented her parents with a graduation certificate. The family later decided to donate the funeral gift money to the Noordhoff Craniofacial Foundation, and promised to become volunteers to fulfilled Yuanchun”s dream.
在台灣，弘光科技大學護理系五專部四年級學生張媛淳，從小是唇顎裂病患，經過整形手術恢復自信，不幸的是，上個月十九號，她騎機車返家途中發生車禍往生，家屬和師生相當悲痛，而張媛淳還有一年才能領到的畢業證書，校方今天提前交給了家屬，家屬把奠儀捐給羅慧夫顱顏基金會，全家人都發願當志工，要延續張媛淳來不及完成的愛。
《 衲履足跡 》
On the Power of Goodness
Tzu Chi”s work is not propagated by monetary gains but by volunteers” efforts. As long as there is a will, all can be achieved. The simple thought of helping those in need is the source of a powerful force of goodness.
主題：談善力量
開示：推動慈濟，所需要的不是金錢「利」益，而是人「力」。只要有心做事，事事都難不倒，這一念付出助人的心，即是強而有力的善力量。
7. 360手工刻印(一)
In Taiwan, a chop or seal, engraved with your name, which you use to stamp official documents, is the equivalent to your signature. You must have a chop to open a bank account, change your address, get married, and so on. Official seal chops were once all engraved by hand, but these days everything is done by computer. In today”s double features on Taiwan”s fading industries, we meet a brother and sister pair in Taichung, who are among the few people on the island who can still carve a chop by hand. The sister, who is the master engraver, says she sees all Chinese character in reverse. Let”s find out why.
在台灣，刻上自己名字的印章會被用來蓋在公文上，如同簽名的意思，也會用印章到銀行開戶、更改戶籍地，或是結婚使用等等。印章過去都是手工刻製，但是現代逐漸被機械刻印取代，今天360行夕陽工業的專題中，帶大家去台中看一對兄妹，他們是台灣少數的手工刻印師傅，刻印師傅說，她所看到的字都是反的，一起來看看為什麼。
8. 360手工刻印(二)
Traditional chop-makers may be fighting a losing battle against computers, but the brother and sister pair, whom you saw in our last story, are sticking to the good old ways, at their store in Taichung City. Following in their father”s footsteps, the younger sister engraves the seals, while the older brother runs the shop. Let”s find out how they added some creativity to their traditional skills, to keep the family store in business.
機械刻印發達，手工刻印逐漸沒落，不過台中市一家老字號印章店就在剛剛大家所看到的影片，這對兄妹就堅持手工刻印，跟隨父親的腳步，妹妹負責手工刻印，哥哥則是負責拓展業務，來看看他們如何在傳統行業上加入創意，讓這個家族企業繼續發揚光大。

In Taoyuan, Taiwan, 132 taxi drivers got Jing Si aphorisms as bumper stickers as part of Tzu Chi”s campaign, ”Words of wisdom on wheels”. We”ll leave you with these images. Thank you for watching Da Ai Headlines. Goodbye.
