1.菲寶發發放

After Typhoon Bopha caused severe devastation in Mindanao Island, in the southern Philippines the end of last year, Tzu Chi volunteers rushed to conduct a disaster survey, after which they organized a 2-day aid distribution in Compostela and New Bataan. Overall, 6,500 households received Tzu Chi`s help. TIMA doctors were also onsite to provide medical care.

寶發颱風重創菲律賓，南部民答那峨島之後，慈濟志工隨即進行勘災，並在康波斯特拉鎮，以及新苗達安鎮，進行發放，共有六千五百戶接受幫助，人醫會醫師也深入災區辦義診。


2.廣東汕頭冬令

In China`s Guangdong Province(廣東), Tzu Chi volunteers carried out a winter aid distribution in Chaoyang(潮陽) District of Shantou(汕頭). As the distribution was the first in the area, many residents registered to volunteer, in hopes to contribute a little of their love to help their community.

在中國的廣東，慈濟志工在汕頭潮陽區，舉辦冬令發放，因為是第一次，所以很多鄉親主動報名來當志工，希望能為社區貢獻一分心力。


3.馬幼兒尋根

Teachers and children from the Da Ai Kindergartens in Malaysia recently traveled to Taipei, Taiwan, to celebrate Da Ai TV`s 15th anniversary. Afterwards, they paid a visit to the Jing Si Abode in Hualien. In addition to a guided tour, the children also helped in making Jing Si soaps and learned life wisdom from a Jing Si Abode master.

馬來西亞慈濟幼兒園的師生，近期來到台灣台北，參加慈濟大愛台15週年慶，之後，到花蓮靜思精舍尋根，除了精舍導覽以外，孩子們也學習製作靜思淨皂，也跟靜思精舍法師，學習生活智慧。


《 靜思語 》

Optimism and pessimism are one. By changing our thoughts, we can turn pessimism into optimism.

樂觀與悲觀是一體，只要心念一轉，也能將悲觀轉成樂觀。


4.河苦何苦(1)

Ancient civilizations - such as Egypt, Shanghai, and Me-so-po-tamia - were all built around water sources. However, with advances in technology and easy access to water, younger generations are forgetting to protect their water sources. In our new series on water protection, we head to Brazil to see the problems facing its rivers.

知名古文明，埃及、上海、美索不達米亞，都是靠水源的城市，而如今的進展和簡略的水來源，下一代已經忘記要保護水源了，如今的河苦何苦系列報導，我們到巴西，看看他們面臨的河川問題。


5.大愛15周年(大愛戲劇)

(lead out)We continue our water shortage series tomorrow in Brazil`s Itapu and Belo Monte Dam, to see how changing of water course is influencing the ecosystem. But back to today, as Tzu Chi`s founder, Master Cheng Yen says, the media plays a vital role in today`s society and can bring about positive changes to our community. Da Ai TV was established 15 years ago for exactly that purpose and over the years it has continued to spread a positive message to its viewers. One of its most popular programs are the Da Ai Dramas, which depict the real-life stories of Tzu Chi volunteers. Over the past 13 years, 178 dramas have been produced with another 70 mini series produced since 2011.

明天，河苦何苦的專題中，我們要帶大家深入了解，巴西的伊泰普 美山水壩，改變水源後，如何影響生態。不過，今天繼續來看，如證嚴上人所說，媒體在今天社會裡，扮演很重要的角色，可以為社會帶來安定力量，而正如此，15年前，成立了大愛台，多年來持續為觀眾，帶來正面的影響，其中最受歡迎的節目，就是大愛劇場，取材自慈濟志工的人生故事，13年來 總共製作178部，而且從2011年開始，也製作了70部長情劇展。

6.人文志業歲末

To mark the beginning of a new year, the year-end blessing ceremony at the Tzu Chi Humanitarian Centre, in Taipei, saw a huge turnout of participants. Members of the public at the ceremony, not only absorbed Master Cheng Yen`s words of wisdom; some were moved to tears by the inspiring stories of Tzu Chi volunteers and its members.

為了迎接新的一年，慈濟人文志業中心，歲末祝福，信眾蜂擁而至，除了聆聽上人法語，也有人被溫馨的故事和志工，感動到落淚。

《 衲履足跡 》：談清修士 On Practitioner

Vowing to become a practitioner means letting go of all desires and needs, and purify the inner self so living beings may be guided to enlightenment.

Religion is about educating everyone on the correct purpose in life, leading them to a righteous and positive path.

立志修行者，必須無欲無求、淨化內心，走入人群度眾生；宗教本在引導人人具有正確的人生宗旨以及終身教育，在人間鋪出一條康莊道路。

7.雪隆演繹驗收

In Malaysia, as the year-end ceremony being hosted by the Kuala Lumpur & Selangor Tzu Chi Chapter is drawing near, and after months of practice in small groups, the more than 600 participants came together for their first dressed rehearsal. Also coming together to practice were members of the choral section, which is composed of volunteers who didn`t have time to join sign language performance, but still want to be part of the year-end show.

在馬來西亞，慈濟雪隆分會，舉辦的歲末祝福，眼看日子越來越近，各組團體練習了好幾個月，六百多位志工首度進行彩排，一同參與練習的還有經文唱頌班，由無暇參與手語演繹的志工組成，但他們依舊有參與歲末祝福的心。

8.約旦歲末祝福

Moving to Jordan, Tzu Chi volunteers have been busy holding relief distributions to help refugees from Syria; however, they still managed to organize a small-scale year-end blessing ceremony early this month. Jameel, who was just certified at the end of last year, shared his experience of returning to Taiwan, and also made a wish of calling on more bodhisattvas to join Tzu Chi.

轉到約旦，慈濟志工忙著敘利亞難民的發放工作，但還是舉辦了一場歲末祝福，去年底才剛完成，受證的道地約旦人-濟定，就特別分享了這次回台的心得，也許下新年願望，期待能夠有更多人加入志工行列。

9.西華飯店環保

Doing recycling doesn`t always have to take place at a recycling station. In Taiwan, over the past 10 years, volunteers from Taipei`s Songshan(松山) District have been sorting recyclables at a makeshift point, every Monday and Thursday afternoon. As the area is the receiving dock of a hotel, Tzu Chi volunteers promptly and quickly sort the recyclables at 4pm rain or shine.

做環保不一定要到環保站，十多年來，臺北市松山區慈濟志工，每個星期一、四下午，固定進行資源回收分類，在一家飯店後方空地，的貨車驗收貨，不過，志工不論颳風下雨，一到下午四點，就快速來做環保。

We go to Canada at the end of today`s show, and join Toronto Tzu Chi volunteers who traveled 100km west to Kitchener City, to hold a tea ceremony, in hopes of introducing Tzu Chi to the local community. In the event, many participants were moved by the volunteers` sharing on their relief work experiences. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for tuning in. Goodbye.

節目最後，來到加拿大，慈濟西多倫多慈濟志工，來到100公里遠的基秦拿市社區活動中心，舉辦茶會，介紹慈濟，志工分享賑災經驗，讓現場民眾感動，一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。(2013.01.09)
