1.精舍初一+精舍除夕圍爐Celebrate CNY at Jing Si Abode

Over the weekend, as many celebrated the Chinese New Year at home, many Tzu Chi volunteers from around the globe, returned to their spiritual homeland in Hualien, to spend the holiday there. On the eve of the Lunar New Year, kitchen volunteers woke up at 4am, to prepare for the reunion banquet later in the evening. And despite the busy days, volunteers were happy to have the chance to form good affinities with the guests at the Jing Si Abode.

上個周末，許多人在家度過農曆新年，而許多慈濟志工則是選擇回到心靈故鄉－花蓮過年，在除夕夜當天，志工們一早四點就起床，為晚上的圍爐做準備，而即使忙錄，所有的志工們都很開心有機會跟前來靜思精舍參訪的民眾結好緣。


2.除夕做環保+初一做環保Celebrate in a meaningful way

As it is a tradition for Taiwanese families to spring clean before the start of a new year, the volume of recyclables at recycling stations also increases around this time of the year. Therefore, recycling volunteers at Tzu Chi`s Dongda(東大) Grounds in Taichung(台中) and Tzu Chi`s Sanxia(三峽) Grounds in New Taipei City, spent New Year`s Eve and the first day of the holiday at recycling stations, embracing the year ahead in a different, yet meaningful way.

春節前，家家大掃除是每一個台灣家庭的傳統，因此每年這個時間環保站工作量也會跟著加倍增加，但在台中東大園區，以及三峽園區的環保志工，卻在環保站度過除夕夜與大年初一，用及充滿意義的方式迎接新年，讓我們一起來看。


3.慈悲約定(六)傑米真情臉譜The 10th Tzu Chi volunteer

Tzu Chi Foundation`s charity work in Jordan are carried out by a total of 10 volunteers. Among these volunteers is Jameel, a native Jordanian, who is the latest to be certified as a Tzu Chi volunteer. In the last of our series of reports on ”Compassion for Jordan”, we learn how Jameel went from a businessman to become a Tzu Chi volunteer.

慈濟在約旦行善足跡，只靠著十位慈濟志工完成，其中一位慈濟志工傑米，去年受證，我們最後一系列報導慈悲約定，來看看傑米怎麼樣從商人轉成慈濟人。


4.馬無量義經(一)演繹緣起Sutra of Innumerable Meanings

The musical rendition of the Sutra of In-numerable Meanings was first performed in Hualien, Taiwan in 2007. The show deeply moved Malaysia`s Tzu Chi volunteers, who vowed to take the performance back to their homeland one day. Beginning in 2009, volunteers managed to put on 24 successful performances around Malaysia and, thus, have inspired the love and compassion of many. This year, volunteers brought the musical back to Penang, where it all first started, in hopes of spreading Tzu Chi`s humanitarian spirit further.

無量義經音樂手語劇，2007年在台灣花蓮演出全球第一場，當時台下的馬來西亞慈濟志工深受感動，發願要把這部經典帶回馬來西亞，從2009年開始，在馬來西亞九州十地巡迴演出了24場，演繹啟發了愛的力量，今年，志工們將音樂劇帶回馬來西亞的啟航點－檳城，希望可以持續散播慈濟的人文精神。


5.古宅˙轉生術(1)松山文創園區Making history accessible

Today, we begin a new series of feature reports to see how historical sites around Taiwan, are being transformed to meet the needs of modern day city dwellers. First, we take our viewers to the old tabacco factory in Taipei`s Songshan(松山) District, which has been turned into a cultural park today, allowing residents to enjoy its greenery and historical flavor, while at the same time preserving the original architectural features.

今天開始要帶你看古宅轉生術系列報導，看看古老建物如何改造，今天帶您看到的是松山菸廠，台北市政府將它列為古蹟，讓民眾能感受到綠意與歷史氛圍，同時保留了建築物的原貌。


6.紐約法船Dharma sails forth in New York

Moving to the United States, at the two year-end blessing ceremonies held by the Tzu Chi New York Chapter, the chapter director as well as those in charge of liaison offices, came together to put on the musical adaptation of ”Vow to Action”, which deeply moved their participants.

鏡頭轉到美國，慈濟紐約分會在當地社區舉辦兩場歲末祝福，由分會執行長和聯絡處的志工一同演繹行願，感動許多現場觀眾。


7.泰大米歲末Bringing love to residents

On February 2nd, Thailand Tzu Chi volunteers held a rice distribution, for residents in Rat-cha-buri, which lies 80km west of Bangkok. Each of the 125 participating households, received a blessing and wisdom red envelope and a 20kg bag of rice. Let`s take a look.

2月2日，泰國慈濟志工在距離曼谷80公里的勒丕府，舉辦大米發放，125位鄉親領取福慧紅包與二十公斤的大米，這一刻對志工和照顧戶來說，感受到付出無距離的愛心，一起來看看。

From the United States, the mayor of South Toms River of New Jersey, Joseph Champagne, recently visited Taiwan to express his gratitude to Tzu Chi for its relief work after Hurricane Sandy last year. After his five-day trip, Champagne decided to become Master Cheng Yen`s disciple. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for tuning in. Goodbye.
