1.布魯克林準備

We kick off today`s program in the United States; and join New York Tzu Chi volunteers as they went to Ger-rit-sen Beach, in Brooklyn, to make the final preparations for a large-scale distribution this weekend, that will help a total of 1,800 households. As well, they also planned on holding a relief distribution at Coney Island. Though Hurricane Sandy caused major damage across New York City, the mainstream media only focused on the condition of its financial center, Manhattan. However, when Tzu Chi volunteers went further into the disaster area, they could deeply sense how helpless and hopeless many disaster victims are.

節目的一開始來到美國，慈濟紐約分會的慈濟志工，前進到布魯克林區的，格瑞森海灘社區，為這個周末1800戶的大型發放作準備，也評估在康尼島進行大型發放，雖然桑迪在紐約區造成災情，但媒體只關心曼哈頓的災情，不過慈濟志工越深入災區，越能感受到災民的無助與無奈。

2.肯斯堡市長受災

To help Hurricane Sandy victims in Keansburg Town, New Jersey, Tzu Chi volunteers held a relief distribution last weekend. The mayor of the town, George Hoff, also joined the distribution event. Afterwards, he finally had a chance to clean up his own home which was almost completely destroyed by the hurricane as well.

為了幫助新澤西肯斯堡市的災民，慈濟志工上個星期，舉辦了發放，發放當天，市長喬治一路陪伴著慈濟人，終於在發放過後，他有機會清理自己，幾乎受到風災毀損的家園。

3.美勸募併

As rebuilding efforts begin on the east coast of the United States, Tzu Chi volunteers on the west coast continue to help through fundraising. In San Dimas, Los Angeles, a Japanese supermarket owner felt the love for Japan from all around the globe, in the aftermath of the 3/11 earthquake, and feels that he too, should reciprocate the kindness this time. In Sacramento, California, Tzu Chi volunteers took to the streets to appeal for donations. Among them were seniors in their 70`s and ones still bound with flu, but everyone wanted to give what they can.

美東慈濟人，援助災民重建家園，美西的慈濟志工也動員起來，上街頭募心募款，在洛杉磯的聖諦瑪斯市，日籍的超市老闆說，體會到三一一大地震，國際間的愛心，他身在美國，也應該有回饋的心，在北加州的沙加緬度連絡處，上街頭募款的志工有年過七十的，也有感冒才復原的人，把握助人機會。

4.花志業體募心

While US Tzu Chi volunteers continue with their relief work, they have also been sending back progress reports, to the Tzu Chi Headquarters in Hualien. After seeing the reports, staff there realized that the damage is far beyond what they imagined. To help, staff from the foundation`s religious affairs department and the Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital, decided to start a fundraising campaign to canvass for donations.

美東風災隨著志工深入災區後，將災民現況傳回花蓮本會，才發現原來災情，遠比大家想像的慘重，因此花蓮志業體宗教處同仁，以及花蓮慈院的醫護人員，發起募款活動，要幫助災民。

Constantly think good thoughts and cultivate ever-growing wisdom.

善念時時生，慧命日日增。

5.唯醫不變(3)人醫張冠宇

As we continue our report on those doctors honored at this year`s Medical Devotion Awards, we travel once again to Taiwan`s east coast to meet Dr. Zhang Guanyu.( 張冠宇) Originally from Tainan, Dr. Zhang moved to Taitung 25 years ago to work at the-then recently opened Taitung Mackay Memorial Hospital. He has been there ever since and currently serves as the hospital`s superintendent. When asked about his decision to move to Taitung, Dr. Zhang says that Taipei has all the doctors it needs, and one less would not be missed, but in remote areas like Taitung, doctors are desperately needed and each is a treasure for the community.

醫療奉獻獎專題，今天帶您認識，台東的人醫 張冠宇，本身是台南人的他，25年前選擇到台東服務，當時正好台東馬偕醫院剛啟用，做到現在，他成為醫院的院長，問到他為何決定到台東服務，他認為，台北不缺他一個醫生，但台東這樣的偏遠地區，更是需要醫生等重要的資源。

6.菲義賣合心

Recently, the Philippines Tzu Chi Chapter held a two-day charity sale, to raise funds for the construction of a Tzu Chi Ophthalmology Center. The event was joined by various food, electronic and motorbike companies. One company even donated 24,000 US dollars worth of products, to support the cause.

最近菲律賓慈濟分會，為了籌募慈濟眼科中心，舉辦了義賣活動，這次的活動，有許多食物廠商、電子公司，還有摩托車企業參與，一個公司更捐出價值2萬4千美金的商品，給慈濟義賣。

《 衲履足跡 》談成長智慧 On Spiritual Growth and Wisdom

Our ability to tell right from wrong can be developed into infinite wisdom. Being able to give love of the universal kind allows us to treat all living beings as equals and exercise compassion and wisdom on the Bodhisattva path.

將分別是非的知識轉為開闊的智慧，發揮無量無邊、無所執的大愛，就能平等看待一切，悲智雙運行於菩薩道中。

7.愛的米其林(3)友善餐廳

Wheelchair accessibility is a term that you might hear often, but most people don`t think it applies to them. Yet for those tempo-ra-rily bound to the wheelchair due to an accident, or pushing around a baby stroller; ramps, elevators and plenty of space suddenly becomes an important factor for restaurant choices. Let`s take a look now, at how making a restaurant handicapped friendly, can be done without much hassle.

無障礙環境，您或許時常聽到，但大多數的人都覺得，自己並不需要，想想那些暫時需要用輪椅的病者，或是推著娃娃車的斜板、 升降梯，無障礙環境其實都是光顧餐廳時，非常需要考量的問題，我們來看看餐廳業者，可以怎麼樣不花大錢，改良無障礙環境。

8.閩南初訪禮包

As winter is fast approaching, Tzu Chi volunteers in China have begin preparations for upcoming winter relief distributions in Fujian Province. Biscuits and cakes donated by a local company are packed into gift bags to be given to the residents. On November 10th and 11th, Tzu Chi volunteers headed into townships located in mountainous areas, bringing warmth and care to the poor, sick and elderly.

邁入了冬季，中國慈濟志工為了閩南地區，冬令發放的提前訪視，慈濟志工還有社區民眾，聚在一起包裝禮包，裡頭的餅乾等點心，都是當地企業捐獻的愛心，福建南靖，許多鄉鎮地處山區，慈濟志工在11月10日至11日，走進山裡訪視貧困的鄉親，為體弱多病的年長者，送上關懷。

END：拾遍全美

We go back to the United States at the end of our program today, and join the group of ”Pick Up America”as they spent the last two and a half years, traveling from the east coast to the west, to pick up garbage. As they recently arrived in San Francisco, students of the Tzu Chi Academy joined in the conservation work. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for tuning in. Goodbye.

節目的最後，我們回到美國，跟著拾遍全美這個團體，過去兩年半來，從美國東岸走到西岸撿垃圾，最近他們來到了舊金山，而慈濟人文學校的學生，也前往參與環保活動，讓我們一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。(2012.11.16)
