1. 海地義診

We kick off the show in Haiti, at one of the schools Tzu Chi helped rebuild, Haiti TIMA members held their second free clinic on May 18th, local time, to serve a total of 750 patients. In addition to the 22 local doctors, members of the US TIMA also arrived to take part.

在慈濟協助重建的其中一所學校，海地慈濟人醫會在5月18日舉辦第二次的義診活動，服務七百五十位病患，除了當地二十二位醫師，還有美國人醫會的加入。


2. 昆士蘭發放

In Australia, a tropical cyclone hit the state of Queensland in late January, causing massive floods in the city of Bundaberg. Knowing that many flood victims, still faced difficulties in rebuilding their homes, Brisbane Tzu Chi volunteers returned to the disaster site, to provide assistance and propose a relief work program.

在澳洲，一月底，熱帶氣旋侵襲澳洲昆士蘭，造成邦德堡市嚴重水患，聽說許多居民在重建家園上遭遇困難，布里斯本的慈濟志工再度前往提供協助，並提出以工代賑的想法。


3. 蘆山不倒(2)

In China, it has been a month, since the Yaan(雅安) Earthquake devastated Sichuan Province, and the Chinese government has established plans, to help quake survivors move out of tents, and start a new page of their lives. In our next report, let’s take a look, at the current living conditions of quake survivors, still living in the designated tent areas.

大陸四川 雅安地震一個月過去了，中國政府也推出計劃幫助受災鄉親，搬出帳棚重新生活，下一則新聞，我們來看看目前帳棚區受災鄉親的生活狀況。


《 靜思語 》

A sincere smile and a blessing are the greatest forces in soothing the human mind.

真誠的微笑與祝福，是安定人心的大力量。


4. 法入凱旋門(2)第一站巴黎

With the establishment of Tzu Chi’s first office in Europe, the office will not only be a sanctuary for Tzu Chi volunteers, but also a cultivation ground to gather more like minded individuals. This grand opening, marks a new beginning, for other European Tzu Chi volunteers.

歐洲第一個慈濟會所正式啟用，不僅成了當地志工的依歸，還能接引更多菩薩，新會所的啟用，對於歐洲慈濟志工來說，是一個新的開始。


5. 法入凱旋門(3)美麗與哀愁

France is the fifth largest economy in the world, and its capital, Paris, is the world’s center of fine arts, fashion, and culture. Because of the European debt crisis, the country is battling the highest unemployment in 13 years. Therefore, it makes us wonder, whether living in Paris, is no longer peaches and cream?

法國是世界第五大經濟體，首都巴黎更是世界的藝術、時尚設計與文化中心，不過卻因為歐債的影響，法國失業率已經創下13年新高，我們不得不懷疑，生活在花都巴黎，是否還是如此愜意。


《 衲履足跡 》

On the Buddha

The Buddha is not a god to whom we pray, but a teacher to whom we show respect for showing us the right path to walk.
So every year on Buddha Day, Buddhists have a responsibility to tell everyone of this saint that once walked the earth. His solomn image, therefore, is just a tool to bring people closer to his message.


主題：談佛陀

開示：佛陀不是被拜求的神，而是一位導師，引導眾生行往正確的方向。所以每年的佛誕節，佛教徒有責任告訴大家，地球曾出現一位大覺者佛陀，故以莊嚴虔誠的形象，接引人人了解佛陀來人間的意義。


6. 體檢環基法十年海岸篇(1)事件簿

Taiwan passed the Basic Environment Act, 10 years ago, to help protect the country’s beautiful natural resources, from abuse by humans. Article 28, which states that the government, will seek monetary compensation from those, who cause pollution, to help restore the environment, helped the country cope with a series of oil spills that happened later. But many say that Article 3, which gives environmental protection priority over development, and Article 17, intended to preserve indigenous culture and peoples, were overlooked, when Taitung(台東)’s Mi-ra-mar Resort build-operate-transfer project was commissioned. Where does the country really stand on environmental protection 10 years later? Here’s more.

十年前台灣成立了環境基本法，要保護台灣美麗的自然資源不受到人類的破壞，根據環基法28條，政府對污染及破壞者可徵收污染防治及環境復育費用，幫助政府應付這之後發生的一連串的油汙事件，但環基法3條說，環境保護優先於建設，與環基法17條說，要兼顧原住民權益，在台東美麗灣度假村BOT案中卻被完全忽視，到底10年來台灣政府對環保是抱著什麼樣的心態，一起來看看我們的報導。


7. 時光機--地震防災

Monday, May 20th, marked the first anniversary of the Yaan(雅安 )earthquake in China, and 14 years ago, Taiwan was devastated by the 9/21 tremor. The earthquake also made many areas prone to landslides, and sparked concerns, in the architectural design, scientific and disaster prevention sectors, urging engineers and scientists, to re-evaluate their regulations and activities. In our next report, we find out what Taiwan has learned, from the painful experience of the 1999 disaster.

四川雅安大地震在5/20屆滿一個月，台灣在14年前的921大地震，造成全台灣多處國土崩塌，卻也讓建築界、科學界與防災體系痛定思痛，重新檢討我們的耐震設計與規範，接下來的報導，帶大家回顧921後台灣如何用科技防災。

We go to Canada at the end of the show, Mississauga Tzu Chi volunteers held a Buddha Day ceremony at a nursing home, to give senior residents a chance, to pay respect to the Buddha. On the other hand, their counterpart in Ottawa, also held a similar event at their local Tzu Chi academy. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for tuning in. Goodbye.

節目最後，在加拿大的渥太華，慈濟志工在安養中心辦浴佛典禮，讓行動不便的長者也能浴佛。另外在渥太華，也在人文學校 舉辦類似的活動，一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。(2013.05.23)
