1.菲水災家訪併

Torrential rains and typhoons ravaged the Philippines this summer. Many of Tzu Chi”s Filipino volunteers were among those affected by the disaster, but selflessly, these volunteers sought to help others first. Arriving in Marikina City, Tzu Chi volunteers visited the affected Filipino volunteers, and hope to help them reconstruct their homes in the future.

今年夏天，菲律賓遭受大雨和颱風侵襲，許多本土志工是受災戶，卻忙著先幫助別人，慈濟志工來到馬利僅那市，逐戶訪視受災志工，希望幫他們重建房子。

2.真華長老追思

In Taiwan, Buddhist Master Zhen Hua(真華) passed away peacefully on October 5th, at the age of 91. A memorial service was held at Nantou(南投)”s Zhong Dao(中道) Academy, and over 2,000 Buddhist masters arrived, to pay their respects to the departed monk.

在台灣 真華長老，在這個月五號安詳圓寂，享壽91歲，他的追思讚頌法會，在南投的中道學苑舉行，兩千多位法師，齊聚現場，緬懷這位佛教高僧。

《 靜思語 》

不執著，才能得智慧。

3.誰知盤中飧(二)

With rapid increase in world population and the strings of natural disasters, Taiwanese scientists are Looking for ways to increase grain production. By using gene transfer and gene assisted breeding, the scientists have developed new strains of rice, that offer increased resistance to drought, pests and much more.

全球人口據增，災難也不斷，台灣科學家致力於找出，增加農產量的方法，科學家正在利用，基因轉殖及基因輔助育種，開發抗鹽、耐旱、且免於蟲害的水稻新品種。

4.十傑魏榮宗

In our reports based on the winners of this year”s Ten Outstanding Young Persons Award, today we take a look at the story of Wei Rongzong(魏榮宗), who is the Dean of General Affairs Division at Yuanzhi(元智) University in Taiwan. Wei received his doctorial degree when he was only 24 years old and became a professor when he was 31. Wei says he hopes to inspire more young people, to contribute their share to benefit society.

下一則新聞，我們來看看，台灣十大青年，得獎者之一魏榮宗的故事，魏榮宗是元智大學總務長，在24歲時拿到博士學位，31歲成為教授，魏榮宗說他希望，能啟發更多年輕人，用自己的力量幫助社會。

5.血管縫合手重建

In the past, when hands get caught in work place machineries, the most frequent solutions was amputation, but thanks to recent discoveries, these limbs can now be saved. In Taiwan, after Mr. Xu(許) got his hand caught in a machine, he thought he would have to amputate it, but at Dalin(大林) Tzu Chi Hospital, with micro-reconstructive surgery, doctors were able to save Mr. Xu(許)”s hand.

以往雙手發生嚴重意外，大多只能截肢治療，但隨著醫療技術進步，現在已經能夠做到保留肢體，像是在台灣，一名許先生，工作時右手被機器捲入，心理準備截肢了，可是來到大林慈院就醫，醫師透過「游離皮瓣手術」，為他重接血管，救回原本要截肢的雙手。

《 衲履足跡 》談善力量 On the Power of Kindness

To further Tzu Chi”s cause, it is necessary to promote the power of kindness throughout the world. The increased frequency of natural disasters results from human actions; mankind should accumulate more blessings by doing good deeds, to overturn collective bad karma.

把心帶起來，志業才能順利推展；擔心天下災難愈多、愈重，將成為眾生共業，唯有多增加善的力量，才能多一分福；眾生共聚福業，才能消災障。

6.360鹽工(一)

Salt production takes place when we put sea water in a field, and with enough sun light and wind, salt flakes are formed after the water evaporates. In today”s feature report on Taiwan”s unique trades, we travel to Tainan(台南)”s Beimen(北門) to meet a few senior salt workers and experience the life of these hard working people.

曬鹽，是把海水引入鹽田後，利用陽光及風力等自然能源，經蒸發、濃縮及結晶程序產生鹽，在今天的真情臉譜專題，我們來到台南的北門，認識一群老鹽工，看看他們如何辛苦的工作。

7.360鹽工(二)

Continuing on with the last story, Tainan(台南)”s Beimen(北門) is one of the first salt fields opened in Taiwan. After the fields were abandoned in 2002, Taiwan Salt Corporation handed over the ownership, to non-government organizations. And to keep the tradition alive, the new owners, decided to turn these old salt fields, into a tourist attraction.

持續鹽工專題的報導，台南北門的第一座鹽田，也是現存最古老的瓦盤鹽田遺址，這個鹽田在2002年結束了，原本的台鹽公司把這邊的經營權，轉給民間機構，為了延續曬鹽產業文化的精神，將鹽場復育，成為觀光景點。
