1.台北浴佛大典30,000 prayed together at CKS Memorial

For Tzu Chi, Buddha Day is a day that holds much significance, as it represents reverence, gratitude and compassion. This day, also reminds us to be grateful for the grace of Buddha, our parents and all humanity. The two Buddha Day ceremonies, held at the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall in Taipei, on May 12th, saw some 30,000 people take part. Although there was a downpour of rain, half way through the event, the rain water was like dharma, which washed away ignorance and delusions, and restored purity and clarity, to the hearts of all.

對慈濟來說，舉辦佛誕節為的是呈現尊重、感恩、慈悲，這一天，有為了要報答佛恩、父母恩以及眾生恩，這一天，5月12日在中正紀念堂舉辦的兩場浴佛大典，總共約有三萬人前來參加，雖然舉行到一半天降雨水，卻有如甘露般淨心滌垢，更顯莊嚴。

7.0510孝的轉變4 generations under one roof

With industrialization and westernization, most of Taiwan`s families, have waived the traditional extended family, and opted for a nuclear family. Typically, large family get-togethers, only happen on special occasions, such as celebrating Chinese New Year. However, we now introduce you to the family of Hsinchu(新竹) Cultural Affairs Bureau director, Cai Rongguang (蔡榮光), where four generations live together under one roof.

隨著工業社會的轉變，與文化西化，許多台灣家庭捨棄成立大家庭而選擇小家庭，通常大型家庭聚會只有在特別節日，例如過年時才會發生，但現在為您介紹新竹文化局長蔡榮光的家，他們四代同堂的故事。
