1. 桑迪紐約+熱食發放

First up in the United States, Hurricane Sandy, now a tropical superstorm, damaged many areas on the east coast of the country in its wake. One of the hardest hit areas were in and around Manhattan, where electricity is still not available. Government officials asked the Tzu Chi New York Chapter to help provide 1,000 servings of hot meals to the temporary shelter on Grand Street in Lower Manhattan.

首先，帶大家美國，颶風桑迪現轉為熱帶風暴，重創美東地區，造成紐約市曼哈頓大停電，紐約市府連絡 慈濟紐約分會志工，提供1000份熱食給在曼哈頓下城格蘭街的收容所的難民。

2. 泰北冬令發放

As winter is approaching, Tzu Chi volunteers have kicked off this year’s first winter aid distribution in Northern Thailand. The first visit was to Phit-sa-nu-lok Province, which is over 370 kilometers north of Bangkok. Last year, severe floods struck the area, and Tzu Chi provided victims with 30,000 vegetarian lunchboxes. To make sure the weak and sick receive proper care, this time Tzu Chi volunteers brought blankets, second-handed clothing and aid supplies. In total, the distribution helped 1,578 people across 11 townships.

即將邁入冬天之際，泰國慈濟志工展開泰北冬令發放活動，第一站先來到彭世洛府，距離曼谷有三百七十多公里遠，去年發生水患時，慈濟在當地提供三萬個素便當。為了讓老弱殘者獲得適當的照顧，這次帶著毛毯、二手衣物，以及民生用品再次前往，共有11個鄉1578人接受幫助。

3. 菲慈濟表揚

In early August, torrential rain in the Philippines caused massive damage in San Mateo of Rizal Province, and Tzu Chi volunteers launched two work relief programs, to help the community clean up their homes. At the recent Foundation Day celebration, San Mateo gave out awards recognizing organizations and individuals, that have made contributions to the community, like Tzu Chi.

菲律賓在八月初大雨成災，中位在黎剎省的聖馬刁鎮，慈濟分別在當地推動2個以工代賑的計畫，幫助災民清掃家園。最近聖馬刁鎮慶祝建鎮441周年，在慶祝會上也特別頒發獎座，給對當地有貢獻的個人或團體，像是慈濟菲律賓分會。

《 靜思語 》

True blessing comes from being content with one’s station in life, and from a tireless edication to give without asking for anything in return.

真正的福德，是以平常心守本分、勤付出。

4. 新芽王維德

Next in Taiwan, we meet Wang Weide(王維德), who is a New Shoots Scholarship recipient of the Filial Piety Award this year. Early this year, Weide’s father, who suffered from liver cancer had to undergo liver transplant surgery. Upon receiving the news, Weide decided to donate his liver to his father.

接著，在台灣新芽獎學金的專題中，來認識得到孝悌獎的王維德。維德的父親因為肝癌急需換肝，聽到這個消息，維德決定捐肝給父親，讓我們來看看。

5. 亞庇新芽(三)

At the award ceremony of New Shoots Scholarship in Malaysia’s Kota Kinabalu, Tzu Chi care recipient, Tukimin shared his experiences with other low-income families to encourage them to lead positive lives and become givers instead of receivers. Two years ago, Tukimin had a car accident that left his left leg severely injured. Thanks to the help of Tzu Chi volunteers, his family was able to return to a normal life.

在馬來西亞的亞庇，慈濟新芽助學金頒發典禮上，慈濟照顧戶杜吉敏以切身經歷鼓勵貧困家庭努力生活，化接受為付出。在2年前，杜吉敏遭遇車禍，導致右腳嚴重受傷，幸好有慈濟志工的幫助，他的家庭恢復正常生活。

《 衲履足跡 》

On Repentance

Disasters are happening around the world. While Thailand suffers from floods, the United States suffers from heavy snow. This is a wake up call for all. One should take the dharma to heart, embrace vegetarianism, get rid of bad habits and live life with honesty and sincerity.

主題：談懺悔

開示：泰國水患、美國暴雪襲擊，災難頻生，天地告急，人們無法置身度外；呼籲大家「入經藏」、「持齋戒」，持續懺悔過錯、修除習氣，以虔誠之心面對生活中的人事物。

6. 城市菜園(三)

In our continuing series on how to make gardening at home fun and easy, we once again take our viewers to meet another of Taiwan’s urban farmers. Zhan Wulong(詹武龍) grows a variety of editable plants and herbs on his balcony, using a simple potted plant method. With soil and fertilizer both collected from nature, Zhan says, his method is particularly attractive, as it requires little time and almost no money. Today our Da Ai TV reporter takes a closer look, at exactly how the potted plant gardening method works, and what makes it so special.

城市菜園系列報導中，今天要繼續帶您拜訪台灣的城市農夫詹武龍，他在陽台種植蔬菜和香草，利用簡單的花盆耕種法，使用天然的土壤和肥料，詹武龍說他的方法特別吸引人，因為它不需花太多時間金錢。今天大愛記者進一步來看看這種栽種法的原理，以及它這麼特別的原因。

7. 稻米博士張素貞

In Miaoli County of Taiwan, there is a rice grain professor, Zhang Suzhen(張素貞), who has spent a good part of her life researching the perfect rice for senior residents, which is called Miaoli No. 2. Although her own father passed away before he could taste the delicious rice, Zhang(張) hopes to present her years of hard work for the world to enjoy.

在台灣苗栗縣有一位稻米博士張素貞，她把青春埋進了實驗室，終於研究出適合銀髮族吃的、軟Q又彈牙的新品種「苗栗二號」，雖然他的父親已經過世，無法親自品嚐，現在張素貞要把這一份愛獻給大家。

END: 新澤西送物資

We go back to the United States at the end of our program today, and join Tzu Chi volunteers in New Jersey, as they are visiting 250 residents at a temporary shelter to hand out relief supplies and cash cards. New Jersey was said to have took the brunt of Hurricane Sandy, thus, volunteers are also helping displaced victims rebuild their homes. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for tuning in. Goodbye.

節目最後帶大家到美國，跟著新澤西慈濟志工，來到因為桑迪撒離而暫居的收容所，發放物資給二百五十位居民。新澤西受災嚴重，因此慈濟志工會協助災民重建家園，一起來看看 ，感恩收看，再會。(2012.11.02)
