1. 美訪老人公寓 & 美春節園遊 Celebrations across the country

In the United States, Chinese New Year celebrations continue to bring cheers to community members in different parts of the country. In California, at the Tzu Chi Headquarters, a reunion banquet was held for the local community. First we go to Texas, where Tzu Chi volunteers visited a senior home, to entertain the residents.

在美國，各個不同地區持續舉辦春節活動為居民帶來歡樂，在加州，慈濟總會為附近居民聚辦圍爐活動，不過，首先來到德洲，慈濟志工來到晚晴公寓關懷年長者，送上祝福。


2. 加新春團拜 Celebrating the Lunar New Year

Also celebrating the Lunar New Year, in Canada, Tzu Chi volunteers in Vancouver held a series of fun and educational activities to celebrate the holiday, while in Burnaby, volunteers visited the elderly, to help them pass the New Year`s with their extended Tzu Chi family.

也是新春慶祝活動的報導，在加拿大溫哥華，慈濟志工舉辦寓教於樂的新春活動，而在本拿比，志工拜訪長者一起慶新年，讓他們更有家的感覺。


3. 澳新春募心 Charity for flood victims in Queensland

To help the flood survivors in Queensland, Tzu Chi volunteers in Perth, Australia held various events, to inspire locals to help those in greater need. Meanwhile, during the Chinese New Year Cultural Festival, Tzu Chi volunteers walked around the Chinatown, to raise funds for flood survivors.

為了幫忙昆士蘭水災災民，在澳洲柏斯市慈濟人舉辦一系列的活動，包括義剪和義診，希望鼓勵當地人慷慨贊助，而在中華新年文化節活動，志工到唐人街上募愛心，讓這個新年更添溫馨。


4. 馬無量義經 (15) Dharma event returns to Penang

Recently, to celebrate the Lunar new Year, Tzu Chi`s Malaysia Chapter, held three performances of the Purification, Great Love and Innumerable Meanings Sutra musical. This time the musical is performed by 1,690 volunteers.

為了慶祝農曆新年，馬來西亞分會舉辦了『清淨‧ 大愛‧無量義』音樂手語劇，共有1690位入經藏菩薩參與。


5. 馬無量義經 (13) Let`s go meatless

Also taking part in the musical is nine-year-old Li Hongqi(李洪祈), who has been inspiring those around her to go meatless. In spite of her young age, Li bravely went on stage to encourage those in the audience to go vegetarian. Meanwhile, at home, Hongqi(洪祈) has a vegetarian phone book, in which, she keeps track of those that promised to go meatless.

同樣參與這次的手語劇是九歲的李洪祈，她鼓勵大家茹素，儘管年紀小，她站上舞台鼓勵台下的觀眾吃素，同時在家，洪祈有個吃素電話本，裡面紀錄的是那些答應她吃素的人。


6. 慈小收假演繹 A wonderful start to a new semester

In Taiwan, yesterday marks an end to the Chinese New Year Holidays, and the return to school for students. However, students at the Tzu Chi Elementary School in Hualien(花蓮), ended their vacation a day early, as they gathered at school, to carry out a rehearsal, of their performance of the Sutra of Profound Gratitude to Parents.

在台灣，周一是春節後的上班日也是學生開學的日子，花蓮慈大附中國小部的小朋友卻提前收假，回到校園裡彩排《父母恩重難報經》。


7. 夢想圓舞曲 (1) 玉山天使歌聲 Sounds of angels from Jade Mountain

Today we take you to Nantou(南投) County`s Xinyi(信義) Township and meet an elementary school principal, Peter Ma(馬) to see how he has encouraged the Bunun(布農) children to discover their own talents and how he has led the children onto the world stage.

我們要帶大家到南投信義鄉，認識一位國小校長馬彼得，看他怎麼幫原鄉部落的孩子創造機會，他又如何帶領著布農族的孩子走向國際舞台。


8. 板橋元宵宣導 Bringing blessings to many

In Taiwan, on the last day of the Chinese New Year Holiday, more than 200 Banqiao(板橋) Tzu Chi volunteers visited local residents and shop owners, with candies and blessing ornaments, as they spread-one more time-the blessings and joy of the Lunar New Year in their community.

在台灣，農曆新年假期即將尾聲，板橋慈濟志工裝扮成財神爺，帶著喜糖和平安小吊飾拜訪附近的居民和店家，希望把祝福送給更多人。


9. 火箭爐推廣 Promoting use of rocket stoves

Overseas, the rocket stove is known for its fuel-efficiency and cost-effectiveness. To promote its use in Taiwan, assistant professor at Tzu Chi University, Qiu Yiru(邱奕儒), led his students in an experiment, to try to build their own rocket stoves from recycables.

在國外，大家很流行使用低燃料、低成本的火箭爐，為了在台灣推廣火箭爐，慈濟大學的助理教授邱奕儒就開始帶領學生研究，如何利用手邊的資源打造自己的火箭爐。
