1. 美浴佛朝山 Pilgrimage at Tzu Chi HQ

We kick off today`s program in the United States, where the US Tzu Chi Headquarters also recently celebrated the NGO`s 47th birthday by holding a pilgrimage. While some prayed for the world`s living, many participated in hopes of cleansing their minds and purifying their spirit.

一開始帶大家到美國，慈濟美國總會最近舉行朝山法會，慶祝慈濟四十七周年，法會中有人為眾生祈禱，但更多人藉此去除煩惱心，沉澱心靈。


2. 澎湖眷村浴佛 Buddha Day in Penghu

In Taiwan, as Tzu Chi`s Buddha Day celebration is fast approaching, to make it more convenient for elderly people to attend the ceremony, Penghu(澎湖) Tzu Chi volunteers held a Buddha Day ritual in a local community. Let`s take a look.

在台灣，慈濟的浴佛典即將到來，為了讓民眾方便禮佛，澎湖慈濟志工在當地的社區舉辦了一場浴佛節，讓我們來看看。

3. 星送佛到家 Buddha Day ceremony for patients

Also celebrating the Buddha Day in advance are Tzu Chi volunteers in Singapore, who organized a ceremony at the Institute of Mental Health, for their long term care recipients there. Volunteers hope that the patients can find serenity and peace through the solemn occasion.

在新加坡慈濟志工，也在佛誕節前夕舉辦浴佛，這次來到心理衛生學院為病友舉辦一場浴佛活動，希望讓這群院友也能得到心靈的平靜。

4. 浴佛陳世倫 Chen Shilun`s harmonious family

In our next report, we visit the Chen family of four generations. The patriarch of the family is 97-year-old Grandpa Chen, who has five children, all of whom later settled with their families near him. Despite having 26 members in the family, family relations have remained harmonious due to Grandpa Chen`s emphasis on unity when managing household affairs.

接下來的報導中，帶各位看看四代同堂的故事，高齡97歲的陳爺爺，有五個子女通通都住在附近，儘管家族成員有26位，因為陳爺爺有個獨門家訓，全家人 一條心。


5. 夢想無障礙(2) Job placement for the disadvantaged

On average, disabled individuals find it difficult to make ends meet, and the reason behind this, is that finding a suitable job they enjoy is not an easy task. Therefore, many disadvantaged will seek help from employment service centers for the disabled, where experienced case workers will assist them in finding a suitable career. And, in our next report, we meet Wu Xifu(吳錫福), who was placed at a job in a clothing accessories company.

身障朋友要在職場上生存已經很困難，要找到喜歡的工作更是難上加難，因此，不少身障朋友試著透過身障就業服務中心，就他們的專業做輔導和媒合找到更適合自己的工作，今天帶大家看，身障朋友吳錫福，如何在服飾配件工廠找到適合的工作。

6. 七十進蘆山 Yan Chuantian, a living bodhisattva

Moving to China`s Sichuan(四川) Province, we meet 70-year-old senior Tzu Chi volunteer, Yan Chuantian(閻傳田), who has been taking part in the relief work to assist disaster survivors following the 4/20 earthquake. After encountering Tzu Chi in the 2008 Wenchuan(汶川) Earthquake, Yan(閻) no longer goes around temples praying for blessings, but instead, seizes each opportunity to give.

轉到中國四川，帶各位認識七十歲的閻傳田，420地震後就到災區協助受災民眾，2008年汶川地震認識慈濟後才讓她發現，自己不能只是燒香拜佛還要把握付出助人的機會。


7. 蘆山帳棚消演 Fire drills at temporary shelters

Staying in Lushan(蘆山) County of Sichuan, as survivors of the Yaan(雅安) Earthquake are living in makeshift tents and cooking their meals around the temporary shelters, government officials assigned a fire fighter to each area, and also carried out fire drills to ready everyone in case of an emergency.

也是四川蘆山的報導，雅安地震的受災鄉親還住在安置帳棚區，也在帳棚區 開伙煮飯，政府在每一區安置警義消人員，也在帳棚區舉辦了消防及人員疏散演練。


8. 中慈護理師節 & 大林愛心護師 May 12th, Nurses Day

This Sunday, May 12th, marks the Mother`s Day, Buddha Day, Global Tzu Chi Day as well as the International Nurses Day. At the Dalin(大林) Tzu Chi Hospital, we meet Xu Yuzhen(許玉珍), who has been devoted to her job for nearly 20 years. But first, we join the superintendent of the Taichung(台中) Tzu Chi Hospital and Tzu Chi volunteers as they go around to each ward to express their gratitude to the nursing staff.

這個星期天，五月十二日，不只是母親節也是佛誕節與全球慈濟日，另外個重要的節日是全球的護師節，在大林慈濟醫院帶大家認識一位護理長許玉珍，她投入醫療工作將近二十年，但首先我們跟著台中慈濟醫院的院長還有慈濟志工，一起到各個病房向護理師人員表達感恩。


9. 許桃圓滿生命 Selfless giving of TC volunteer

On Wednesday, May 8th, 78-year-old Taiwan Tzu Chi volunteer, Xu Tao(許桃) passed away peacefully at the Hualien(花蓮) Tzu Chi Hospital. Xu lived with visually impaired volunteer, Wang-Gao Chu(王高出), and both supported each other through life`s many challenges. Though diagnosed with breast cancer several years ago, Xu led a simple life and donated money from the sale of her famous dumplings to Tzu Chi.

台灣，78歲慈濟志工許桃，5月8號周三在花蓮慈濟醫院往生，許桃與眼盲的王高出師姐，兩人相互扶持共同生活，一起度過人生低潮，雖然，多年前診斷罹患罹患乳癌，她過著簡單的生活，還靠著販賣青江菜水餃的收入，捐錢給慈濟。

End：北加孝親奉茶

We go to the United States at the end of today`s program; and join Tzu Chi volunteers and students of the Tri-Valley Tzu Chi Academy, as they held their first event to celebrate Mother`s Day. Students and volunteers alike, all served tea to their mothers to express their gratitude. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for tuning in. Goodbye.

節目最後，帶各位到美國，三谷慈濟人文學校舉辦設立以來的第一場孝親奉茶活動，以慶祝母親節，學生和志工把握這個感恩母親的機會，向情母親奉茶說感恩。一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。
