2.澳洲父母恩

Moving to Australia, Sydney Tzu Chi volunteers recently performed, the sign language musical of the ”Sutra of Profound Gratitude toward Parents”, at the Concourse Theatre in Chatswood. The performance not only moved the audience, but also inspired on-stage volunteers to be more filial to their parents.

將鏡頭轉到澳洲，最近雪梨慈濟志工，在恰士塢康克斯劇場，演繹父母恩重難報經，音樂劇不但感動了觀眾，也啟發了表演者要孝順父母。

《 靜思語 》

To gain more blessings, actively engage in more virtuous activities, and thereby cultivate more blessings in return.

自求多福，就是身體力行多造福，才能多福氣。

《 衲履足跡 》談付出 On Giving

Even having come from a wealthy background, one should still maintain a frugal way of living, and give to help the needy. The happiness one gains through selfless giving is one of the great pleasures in life.

即使家境富裕，卻維持簡樸生活，將生命用於大地、為人群而付出；經由自己的付出，能夠救人、對人間有益，此等心靈感受就是其人生享受。

6.城市菜園(4)

Next, we meet one farmer in Taiwan”s Yilan(宜蘭), Guo Jundong(郭峻東) who has come up with a unique contract farming method, in which city dwellers can rent out pieces of farmland. After they decide what to grow, the land is then worked by farmers, with the final harvest going to the renters.

接下來，我們來到台灣，認識宜蘭的郭峻東，他採用代耕法，讓城市居民可以租一塊農地，決定他們想要種植的作物，由代耕農夫耕作，收成作物都歸契作戶所有。

In the Philippines, Ancestors Day is celebrated on November 1st, and it is a day where many families get together to visit the tombs of their ancestors. However, it is also a time when many rubbish are created. Begining three years ago, Tzu Chi volunteers have been promoting recycling at the graveyards. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for tuning in. Goodbye.

在菲律賓 11月1日是亡人節，也就是許多民眾，攜家帶眷掃墓拜祖先的日子，不過，每逢這時候，通常也會製造許多垃圾，從三年前開始，慈濟志工每年到墓園，推動環保理念，讓我們一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。(2012.11.05)
