1.菲本土授袍

First up today, at a training seminar for new Tzu Chi volunteers in the Philippines, among the participants who were awarded their official blue-and-white uniforms, was a 75-year-old woman, called Josie Pua. Despite her age, she collects regular donations from 80 people. As for herself, even though she earns a small amount of money, on the relief-for-work program, she manages to spare 1,000 pesos a month for Tzu Chi.

今天節目的一開始，在菲律賓的志工培訓活動，正式領到藍天白雲志服的志工當中，包括75歲的裘西，年紀雖大卻有80位固定捐款的會員，她靠著以工代賑做環保賺取微薄的收入，每個月省吃儉用，還是存下一千元菲幣來做善事。


2.洪瑞襄紀念音樂會

Hong Ruixiang洪瑞襄was a respected entertainer in Taiwan, who acted in television dramas, sang on stage, and appeared in advertisements. On March 23, she committed suicide, and tragically died at the age of 43. On Tuesday, her family and friends, held a memorial concert for her. In our next report, we look back on Hong Ruixiang”s life.

洪瑞襄，一位台灣優秀的表演工作者，活躍於電視劇、歌唱與廣告等領域，卻在今年3月23號被發現燒炭自殺，得年43歲，星期二她的親人朋友，為她舉辦了一場追思音樂會，我們也帶您來回顧她的經典作品。


3.升起天際線(2)

Yesterday, we showed you how the advent of modern elevators changed the way we live; and we introduced you to one of the first elevators in Taiwan. Today, we look at the world”s fastest elevator, in the Taipei 101 building, which has an impressive top speed of 60 kilometers an hour.

昨天我們介紹電梯的出現，如何改變了人類的生活方式，也介紹了台灣早期的電梯，今天為您介紹目前，金氏世界紀錄上最快的電梯，就坐落在台北101當中，時速最快可以達到六十公里。


《 靜思語 》

Motivated people get things done because they want to, not because others want them to.

有心做事的人，是「事因人做」，不是「因人做事」。


4.360鑄劍師(一)

Back in year 2000, the film ”Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” directed by Ang Lee was a resounding success, at the box office, as well as the award ceremonies. The huge array of swords, and other weapons, featured in the martial arts film, were all made by bladesmith Guo Changxi(郭常喜). In our feature on Taiwan”s traditional trades, we meet Master Guo.

2000年，由李安所導的電影”臥虎藏龍”，票房亮眼，也拿下許多獎項，然而電影中幾百件兵器，其實都是鑄劍師郭常喜一手打造 ，台灣真情臉譜，帶您認識郭大師。


5.360鑄劍師(二)

Sword forging is not for the faint-hearted. Master bladesmith Guo Changxi(郭常喜) ran through one apprentice after another, until three years ago, when a young man named Dong Jiaren(董佳仁), showed up at his workshop. Despite the physical challenges of the job, young Dong remains Master Guo”s one and only trainee.

沒有鋼鐵般的意志，千萬不要拜師學鑄劍，許多人跑來，向鑄劍師郭常喜拜師求藝，但都是半途而廢，所幸三年前，郭常喜的磨刀鋪來了一位董佳仁，雖然鑄劍過程辛苦，但是這位年輕人堅持熬下去，目前是郭常喜的唯一學徒。


《 衲履足跡 》談感恩 On Gratitude

With courage, Tzu Chi volunteers deliver love, from far and wide, directly into the hands of needy families.

Without the needy, we would not have had the opportunity to lend a helping hand. Thus, when we give, we must be grateful.

慈濟人在每一個國度救苦救難，皆是勇猛前進，重點、直接地將來自全球的愛心，送到苦難人手上。沒有苦難眾生就沒有發揮菩薩良能的餘地，因此雙手付出，還要感恩。


6.加拿大掃街

In Canada, during Earth Day, on Sunday April 22nd, Tzu Chi volunteers held their annual Adopt-A-Street program, in Langley. 30 volunteers picked up litter, along two busy streets. In just one morning, they collected five garbage bags.

在加拿大 4月22日是世界地球日，慈濟志工利用這天，在蘭里市舉行掃街活動，三十位志工沿著兩條長街，撿拾垃圾和菸蒂，並做資源回收，一個上午撿了五大袋滿滿的垃圾。


7.印尼垃圾問題

The trash problem in Langley is nothing compared to the Indonesia”s capital of Jakarta. The population 12 million people, produce about 6,500 tons of garbage a day. Making a contribution to the solution, Tzu Chi has 16 recycling stations in Indonesia.

蘭里市的垃圾問題，跟印尼首都雅加達比起來，幾乎是小巫見大巫，人口超過一千二百萬人，每天也製造超過，6500公噸的垃圾，為了協助解決問題，慈濟在印尼已經，有十六個慈濟環保回收站。


8.印尼環保站

Of the 16 Tzu Chi recycling stations in Indonesia, six are in Jakarta. The Kosambi station in the west of the city collects 6-8 tons of recyclables a month. Built on land donated by Mr. Zhang Jianzhong(張建中) the station has helped bring the community closer together. But Mr. Zhang had to win over community leaders, who were afraid it would turn into a garbage dump.

在印尼的16個環保站當中，雅加達就有六個慈濟環保站，每個月苟杉比環保站，能回收六到八公噸的垃圾，捐出土地的張建中希望，讓環保站成為和鄰居，聯絡感情的好地方，但他得先說服社區的鄰居，讓大家知道環保站不會變成垃圾場。
