1.越南五月發放 Home visitations in Ho Chi Minh City

Tzu Chi volunteers in Vietnam, regularly visit care recipients each month, to deliver relief items, as well as emotional support. In gratitude for the timely assistance provided by Tzu Chi, many care recipients give what they can, to help those in greater need.

越南慈濟志工每個月，會定期到照顧戶家訪視，送上物資與關懷，為了感謝慈濟提供的協助，許多照顧戶都盡自己一份心力，要幫助需要的人。


2.美龍捲風發放 Comforting tornado victims
In the United States, a super tornado swept through O-kla-homa on May 20th, causing severe damage to everything in its path. On May 25th, accompanied by the Red Cross, Tzu Chi volunteers from the Tzu Chi Dallas Chapter, arrived in the Little Axe Community, to conduct a survey and later handed out cash cards to victims. Upon entering the disaster zone, volunteers were overwhelmed by the devastation left by the tornado.

在美國，奧克拉荷馬州，在5月20號，遭到超大龍捲風襲擊，造成慘重的災情，5月25號，在紅十字會的陪伴下，慈濟達拉斯分會，前往災區小艾克斯，進行勘災及發放現值卡，志工抵達龍捲風災區現場，慘重的災情，讓他們難以言喻。

3.助照顧戶打掃 Helping care recipients move

In Taiwan`s Changhua(彰化) County, we meet Tzu Chi care recipient, Mr. Hong(洪) and his family. As Hong(洪) suffers from diabetes, which has affected his eyesight and left him unemployed, his wife is now the sole breadwinner for the family. Before, the family of four, lived in an old house, with tattered walls and broken ceilings. Now that they have found a new home, Tzu Chi volunteers have decided to help them move, and also clean up their new place.

在台灣的彰化，有一戶慈濟照顧戶，洪先生和他的家人，因為糖尿病導致眼睛弱視，無法工作，只靠太太維持家計，一家四口住的房子非常破舊，牆壁剝落，天花板破個大洞，如今他們找到新家，慈濟志工協助他們搬家，還幫他們整理打掃環境。


《 靜思語 》

With faith, there is nothing one cannot do. With patience, there is no responsibility too heavy to shoulder.

只要有信心，沒有做不好的事；只要肯忍耐，沒有擔不起的重任。


4.電力知多少(一)台灣電力總論 A look into Taiwan`s energy sources

As summer approaches, Taiwan will soon be entering a peak season for energy consumption, followed by a general across-the-board hike in electricity rates come October. Next, we take a look at where Taiwan is currently getting its energy from, as well as the pros and cons of each method. Here`s more.

台灣用電將會進入夏季用電計價，今年10月，電費也將進行第二波調漲，接下來，先和您認識台灣各種發電方式，以及發電方式的好處與壞處。


5.減碳未來 Troubles using green energy
The main cul-prits behind Taiwan`s greenhouse gas, are the country`s coal-fired power plants. In fact, Tai-power`s Taichung(台中) Thermal Power Plant, is the biggest in the world, and also the largest carbon dioxide emitter. However, the only way to reduce the country`s dependency on fossil fuels, is to utilize re-newable energy. In our next report, we will tell you the challenges of going green, and how to overcome them.

台灣的溫室氣體最大的來源，是全國的火力發電廠，而其中，台電的台中火力發電廠，不僅是全球最大的火力發電廠，二氧化碳排放量亦為世界第一，要解決台灣對燃料發電的依賴，就要有效利用再生能源，接下來一起來了解，再生能源所面臨的挑戰，及如何克服這些問題。


6.馬淡小環保站 Setting up recycling pt in school

In Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Tzu Chi volunteers, have been caring for the students, at Sungai Buloh RRI Tamil School, since 2008`s New Shoots Scholarship program. Thanks to last year`s meal program and transportation subsidies, the impoverished students` school work and attendance, have greatly improved. In showing their appreciation for all of Tzu Chi`s help along the way, the school allowed volunteers, to renovate an old shack, into a Tzu Chi recycling point.

馬來西亞 雙溪毛糯，淡米爾小學，是慈濟雪隆慈濟志工，自2008年，因新芽助學計畫，而開始長期援助的學校，因為去年開始，啟動了交通與食物的補助金，明顯改善校內，清貧子弟的成績，因此校方騰出倉庫，作為慈濟環保站。

《 衲履足跡 》談道場 On Place of Practice

If conditions are not ripe, insisting won`t make a difference. Finally finding a beautiful piece of land to be ours, Tzu Chi volunteers need to work hard to transform it into a proper place of training.
As long as our hearts are firmly rooted in the dharma, even the most humble training venues can be spiritual breeding grounds for bodhisattvas.

因緣若不成熟，也強求不得。找到很美的土地，更需要我們用心整理，才能成就莊嚴道場。只要道心堅固，即使道場空間窄小，也能發揮人間菩薩招生的良能。

7.馬衛塞節浴佛併 Vesak Day celebrations

Ve-sak Day is a day to commemorate the birth, enlightenment and passing of the Buddha. Many Buddhist countries hold large scale celebrations on this day in May. Tzu Chi volunteers in different regions of Malaysia, also hold Buddha Day ceremonies, to celebrate with some of the participants, coming to pay their respects, and others, looking to let go of their worries and resentment.

衛塞節是佛教傳統紀念，釋迦牟尼佛誕生，成道 涅槃的節日，許多佛教國家都會在五月，舉行盛大的慶典活動，在馬來西亞，慈濟志工也在各地辦浴佛活動，許多人來敬佛，也有的會在過程中，放下煩惱、怨恨。

8.馬慈青手語 First rehearsal for musical

In Malaysia, Tzu Chi Collegiate Youth volunteers, from the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chapter, will be performing the sign language musical of the Sutra of Profound Gratitude to Parents this October. After recruiting all the needed performers, the first rehearsal was arranged, during which students came together, to understand filial piety.

馬來西亞雪隆，慈濟大專青年，即將在10月舉辦，浩瀚父母恩音樂手語舞台劇，在完成演繹人員招募後，進行首次的彩排演練，學生們也更加了解，如何孝順父母。


9.藝聯會動手做 Spiritual seminar for performers
In Taiwan, it has been two years, since the Tzu Chi Performers Association was first established. The beauty of Tzu Chi has touched the hearts of many actors, who are now devoted volunteers. Recently a spiritual workshop, was held at the Tzu Chi Guandu(關渡) Grounds, as members of the association hope, to encourage more actors to join their ranks.

在台灣，慈濟藝人聯誼會，成立兩年了，不少藝人朋友，因為深受慈濟人文之美感動，紛紛投入志工行列，最近藝聯會，在慈濟關渡園區，舉辦一場人文心靈講座，希望能鼓勵更多藝人朋友，加入他們的行列。
