1. 瓜國再勘災

In Central America, after Guatemala was struck by a 7.4 magnitude earthquake in November, last year, Tzu Chi organized a series of aid distributions to help over 1,300 families. However, to ensure more people get the help they need, Tzu Chi volunteers once again visited the affected area, to carry out another disaster survey.

中美洲瓜地馬拉2012年11月發生7.4強震，慈濟展開連串發放活動，為1,300多個家庭發放物資，不過為了確保更多人獲得幫助，志工再次回到災區進行勘災。


2. 廈門翔安冬令

Moving to China; on the last day of 2012, Xiamen Tzu Chi volunteers held a winter aid distribution in Xiangan(翔安) District. With more than 600 households to receive the aid supplies, volunteers decided to hold the distribution at the Xinxu (新圩(ㄒㄩ)) Middle School.

轉到中國，2012年的最後一天，廈門慈濟志工在翔安區持續進行冬令發放，由於今年要領取物資的困難家庭有六百戶以上，志工特地選在當地的新圩中學進行。


3. 昆明冬令發放

Staying in China, but moving to Yunan(雲南) Province, Tzu Chi volunteers traveled to Malutang(馬鹿塘) Township of Kunming(昆明) City, to carry out a 2-day aid distribution. As a 3-year drought has made the lives of the residents even more difficult, Tzu Chi volunteers brought aid supplies to help them through the harsh winter.

也是中國的報導，但是轉到雲南省。慈濟志工來到昆明的馬鹿塘鄉，進行二天的冬令發放，馬鹿塘鄉連續三年乾旱，讓鄉親生活更艱辛，慈濟親自把民生用品送來，幫助鄉親們度過嚴冬。


4. 淶源冬令發放

Also helping those in need are 153 Tzu Chi volunteers from Beijing(北京) and Tianjin(天津), who arrived in Laiyuan(淶源) County of Hebei(河北), to hand out relief items to those living in remote areas. Volunteers carried rice, flour, cooking oil and salt on their shoulders, and visited 134 families door to door, bringing them the much needed supplies and emotional support this winter.

153位來自北京與天津的志工來到淶源縣，為住在山區的居民挨家挨戶發放物資，志工們背著大米、麵粉、食用油與鹽巴，拜訪134個家庭，帶來物資與心靈上的鼓勵，讓他們度過溫暖的寒冬。


5. 湖北通城冬令

Another winter aid distribution planned for Tongcheng(通城) County, in Hubei(湖北) Province, was slightly disrupted as heavy snow forced the nearby highway to close, which meant that the 30 Tzu Chi volunteers from Wuhan(武漢) were not able to arrive at the distribution site on time. Thankfully, the 14 volunteers who arrived earlier still managed to work with local officials and volunteers, to complete the aid distribution for 194 impoverished families.

另外還有冬令發放，原訂在湖北通城縣進行的冬令發放，由於大雪，造成高速公路封路，使得三十位武漢志工無法到達發放現場，不過14位先遣志工靠著當地領導和鄉親志工的協助，還是順利完成194戶貧困家庭的發放工作。


《 靜思語 》

If we take good care of our mind, we will be happy; otherwise, we will experience more suffering.

心若照顧得好，人生就快樂；反之，則苦難偏多。


6. 大愛志工雲集

As January 1st marks the 15th anniversary of Da Ai TV, @ Tzu Chi volunteers from far and wide all gathered at the Tzu Chi Guandu(關渡) Grounds, in Taipei, to celebrate this milestone. Actors that portrayed real life Tzu Chi volunteers also came to join in the festivities with everyone.

一月一日是大愛電視台15周年的生日，全台各地的慈濟志工 都來到關渡園區一起慶祝，大愛劇場的演員也有參與出席。


7. 大愛十五周年：初衷與困難

15 years ago, when Master Cheng Yen wanted to establish a media station, many were against the idea not only because of the high cost required to run a TV station, but also because they didn’t think it was possible to run one without commercials. Today, Da Ai TV is up and running smoothly, and over the years, has brought a profound and positive influence to its viewers around the globe.

15年前，當證嚴上人要設立電台，許多人一開始並不看好，不只是因為花費相當大，也因為大家認為沒有商業廣告，不可能支撐電台，如今，大愛台的成立，多年來為全球的觀眾帶來了深遠的影響。


8. 15周年看大愛(2)

In Da Ai TV’s 15 years of establishment, apart from thanking the viewers for their support, behind the scenes are recycling volunteers from all around the island, working tirelessly towards funding Tzu Chi’s media station. Many of the recycling volunteers say, they have all changed for the better since watching Da Ai TV, with some having left depression behind, while others have found their way back home.

大愛電視台成立至今15年，除了要感謝許多觀眾的認同，背後還有一群環保菩薩在各地默默付出與支持，許多志工看了大愛台而有所改變，有人甚至找回生命的價值，也有人因此找到回家的路。


《 衲履足跡 》

On Merit and Fault

Human beings do both good and bad in life. Giving selflessly to help those in need creates innumerable blessings. On the contrary, if one is evil and constantly makes mistakes in life, negative affinity and karma will follow and accumulate through time.

主題：談功與過

開示：人生在世，一切的造作非功即過。無私地為人群付出，則功德無量；若生存於世，對人群無益，又不斷犯錯造惡，惡因、惡緣、惡果、惡報，必定如影隨形，不斷累積。


9. 馬環保看大愛

Staying on the topic of recycling; in Malaysia, we meet recycling volunteer Zhou Tianshui(周添水), who can be seen at Tzu Chi’s Mohamad Saad Recycling Station in Butterworth, every Monday to Friday. In the past, Zhou would be troubled by the miscellaneous tasks involved in sorting recyclables, but it was her love for Da Ai TV which gradually changed her temperament over time.

也是環保的報導，馬來西亞一位環保志工周添水，每周一到周五總會看到他的身影，穿梭在慈濟莫哈末沙亞環保站，過去曾經因為分類繁雜而起煩惱心，但也因喜愛觀看大愛台，改變了自己的習氣。


10. 印苟杉比環保站

Moving to Indonesia, the Ko-sam-bi Recycling Station in Jakarta, celebrated its 1st birthday on December 25th, 2012. More than 300 Tzu Chi volunteers and local residents came together to celebrate this special occasion.

印尼苟杉比的環保站 ，在12月25日滿一歲生日，300位慈濟志工與社區民眾，共同慶祝這個特別的日子。


End: 北加水懺一年

We go to the United States at the end of our show today, where Tzu Chi volunteers in Cupertino, Northern California, have held 23 study group sessions for the Water Repentance Sutra, since October, 2011. The participants took on a meatless diet for 108 days, and are all looking forward to perform the sign language musical this month. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for tuning in. Goodbye.

節目最後，我們來到美國。北加州庫菩提諾慈濟志工自2011年開始，共舉行了23次水懺讀書會，成員發願齋戒108天，將在這個月進行演繹，一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。(2013.01.03)
