1. 浴佛布幔彩排 Rehearsing for upcoming celebration

First up in Taiwan; with Tzu Chi`s Buddha Day ceremony just around the corner, on May 4th, members of Tzu Chi`s Emergency Rescue Team and 30 Tzu Chengs arrived at Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall in Taipei, to rehearse for the hoisting of the Buddha banner. Let`s take a look.

首先，在台灣，慈濟的浴佛典禮即將到來，在5月4日慈濟急難救助隊成員和30位慈誠來到中正紀念堂會場，進行拉升布幔的彩排，讓我們來看看。


2. 竹北市場浴佛 Buddha Day celebration in Hsinchu

Tzu Chi volunteers worldwide have begun preparations for the upcoming Buddha Day celebration. To invite more people to join in this solemn occasion, Tzu Chi volunteers from Hsinchu (新竹), Taiwan, organized a Buddha Day ceremony at a local market, which was attended by members of the public and shop owners.

全球的慈濟人都正忙著準備浴佛活動，為了接引廣大眾生，台灣新竹的慈濟志工也將浴佛活動，帶入市場，邀請民眾與店家一同參加。

3. 太麻里三節愛灑 Spreading TC`s ideals at Taimali

After the 8/8 floods left a trail of destruction in southern Taiwan in 2009, Taitung(台東) Tzu Chi volunteers have since formed good affinities with Taimali(太麻里) residents. Volunteers recently returned to hold a “Spread the Seeds of Love” event, to share the meaning behind Tzu Chi`s tri-celebrations this weekend, with villagers from Jialan(嘉蘭) and Sanhe(三和).

2009年的八八水災，在南台灣造成嚴重災情，慈濟志工跟太麻里居民因此結下善緣，最近志工前來舉辦愛灑活動，與三和村及嘉蘭村的居民分享三節合一的意義。

4. 浴佛李順福 A filial family

98-year-old Li-Guo Chengjian(李郭成見) has eight children, more than a dozen grandchildren and even more great-grandchildren. Apart from those offspring who live abroad, those in Taiwan take turns watching over the nonagenarian 24/7, for they know to have an elderly at home, is like having a treasure at their fingertips.

98歲的李郭成見有8位兒女還有很多的孫子與曾孫，除了住在國外的以外，其他人都會輪流二十四小時照顧她，因為他們知道，家有一老如有一寶。


5. 夢想無障礙(一) Incentives for hiring disabled workers

Taiwan`s unemployment rate continues to rise and for the nation`s over 1.1 million people who suffer from disabilities, finding a job is even more difficult. Currently, our government is promoting a work model called Special Subsidiary Enterprise, where incentives are given to companies who hire disabled workers. In Tainan(台南), a steel company has become the first Special Subsidiary Enterprise in Taiwan, with 20 percent of its workers having special needs.

台灣的失業率居高不下，因此對台灣110多萬名身心障礙人士來說，就業就更加困難了，因此台灣政府日前就推出，特例子公司獎勵聘請身心障礙者的公司，在台南市的一家鋼鐵母公司就是第一家台灣的「特例子公司」，這家公司聘用的身心障礙員工就佔了全公司的五分之一。


6. 智慧行動照護 Mobile nursing cart at Taichung TCH

The Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital recently incorporated smart technology into their nursing care system. With a mobile nursing cart and wireless technology, a patient`s physio-logical data is immediately transferred to a doctor`s smart phone or tablet computer, enabling them to better understand the condition of their patients anytime, and anywhere.

最近台中慈濟醫院透過智慧型行動護理照護系統，改變傳統模式醫護人員，透過行動護理車和雲端網路就能把病患所有的生理數據上傳到醫師的智慧型手機或平板電腦，隨時隨地掌握病患的情況。


7. 蘆山牙醫義診 Quake survivor Lei Zhigang

Moving to China, we meet dentist Lei Zhigang(雷志剛), from Lushan(盧山) County of Sichuan(四川) Province. Following the Yaan(雅安) Earthquake, inspite of the damage caused to his clinic, Lei traveled to disaster areas, to distribute aid supplies to those in need, and even provided free treatments to quake survivors, in a mobile dental vehicle outside of his clinic.

下一則新聞來到中國，我們到四川省盧山縣，認識牙醫師雷志剛，雅安地震後，雖然自己也是受災鄉親，雷醫師來到災區發送物資給需要的人，並且在自己受損的診所外用行動牙科車幫受災鄉親看牙。


8. 印尼朝山 Getting closer to Tzu Chi

In celebration of the 47th anniversary of the Tzu Chi Foundation, Indonesia Tzu Chi volunteers decided to further their spirituality in different ways. One group participated in the Hualien Jing Si Abode`s Medicine Buddha Sutra study group over the Internet, while another group hiked up a mountain, as a way to discipline their body and mind.

為了慶祝慈濟47周年，印尼的慈濟人要更精進，有一部分人與花蓮靜思精舍同步連線禮拜藥師經，另一部分更身體力行，參與朝山活動修心、修身。


9. 照顧戶母親節 Praying for ill mother

In Taiwan`s Kaohsiung, we meet a single father, Mr. Zhuang(莊), who has been caring for his stroke-ridden father for some 20 years, only to later suffer a stroke himself. Besides losing his job, the man was also left to raise his two children alone after his divorce. Recently, Mr. Zhuang`s mother was also hospitalized after becoming ill, and Tzu Chi volunteers arrived to comfort this family in need.

在台灣的高雄，我們來認識一位單親爸爸莊先生，他照顧中風的父親長達20年，他自己後來也中風除了無力工作還要照顧兩名子女，最近莊先生的媽媽生病住進了醫院，因此慈濟志工前來膚慰並鼓勵這一家人。


10. 香港推廣茹素 Promoting vegetarianism

Moving to Hong Kong, Tzu Chi volunteers were mobilized to encourage members of the public, to go meatless by introducing the benefits of vegetarianism. The volunteers hope that through their efforts, more and more people can change their eating habits, to not only benefit their own health, but also safeguard the planet at the same time.

鏡頭轉到香港，為了鼓勵民眾吃素慈濟志工全體動員推廣素食，志工希望透過他們的努力讓更多人能改變自己的飲食習慣，不但對自己的健康有益更能保護我們的地球。


End：加種花地球日

In Canada; as the government is carrying out a project to beautify a park near the Richmond Tzu Chi Academy, Tzu Chi volunteers invited the students there to take part in the gardening work together. Though it is the first gardening experience for many, students quickly picked up the tips from the government staff onsite. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for tuning in. Goodbye.

在加拿大當地市政府要在列治文慈濟人文學校附近的一座公園進行美化計畫，慈濟志工特地邀請人文學校進修班的學生一起參與整地工作，雖然大家都是首次做園藝工作，但是很快地 就在市府人員指導下快速上手。一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。
