1. 巴東大愛屋

We start today’s show in Indonesia, where Tzu Chi volunteer built 100 houses for the poor of Padang(當), with the lucky recipients recently arriving to pick up the keys to their new homes. As well, the Tzu Chi Foundation and the Padang(當) government signed a Memorandum of Understanding for future cooperation.

節目一開始來到印尼，慈濟印尼分會為巴東市的貧困民眾興建一百間大愛屋，申請入住的民眾即將領取鑰匙，慈濟與巴東市政府更簽署合作備忘錄，要一起持續關懷。


2. 菲貧父關懷
In the Philippines, we meet Tzu Chi care recipient, Sincerely Ramirez, who has eight children. During the day, Ramirez usually stays at home to look after his three mentally challenged kids. Not until his children fall asleep will the father leave home to work as a pedicab driver. Now, thanks to Tzu Chi’s assistance the family’s living condition is vastly improved. To reciprocate, Ramirez has started doing recycling and adopted a bamboo coin bank.
在菲律賓，有位父親辛學里，有八個孩子，其中三個兒子患有智能障礙，為了照顧孩子，白天他全程陪伴，直到兒子們入睡，他才出門，踩三輪車載客賺錢，幸好有慈濟提供補助，這個家的生活才漸漸改善，為了回報慈濟的幫助，辛學里做環保捐善款。


3. 馬火災單親關懷

Moving to Malaysia, a floating village in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, suffered a devastating fire back in March, affecting over 2,000 people. In early April, Tzu Chi volunteers handed out daily necessities twice and emergency cash once. Meanwhile, Kota Kinabalu volunteers also paid return visits to fire survivors, to hand out scholarships for children to continue with their schooling, bringing warmth in this time of need for these impoverished families.
轉到馬來西亞，沙巴亞庇一處水上人家的村子，三月發生大火，超過兩千人鄉親受災，四月初 慈濟志工進行了兩梯次生活包，及一次的急難金發放，另外，亞庇志工更走訪火災受災家庭，希望以助學金發放，援助孩子就學，讓他們感受到人間溫暖。


《 靜思語 》
Disasters serve to awaken people’s awareness.

驚世的災難，要有警世的覺悟。


4. 外籍生做環保

In Taiwan, on June 4th, 20 students from Gambia braved torrential rains to visit the Jiliu(吉留) Recycling Station in Taipei’s Zhongzheng(中正) District. In addition to helping with paper and PET sorting, the students also tried their hand at the more difficult plastic bag recycling. Volunteers hope that the students will remember what they learned at the recycling station and spread the message of recycling once they are back home.

6月4日，20位來自甘比亞的參訪團，來到台北市中正區吉留環保站參訪，除了做紙類及寶特瓶的分類，連最困難的塑膠袋回收也嘗試了，志工希望這些學生能把在環保站學到的環保觀念，帶回他們的生活中落實。


5. 校園守護神

Next, we meet Liu Zongxin (劉宗欣), who is a security guard at the Chu Jen(居仁) Junior High School in Taichung City, Taiwan. The 65-year-old senior has served at the school for 13 years and has remained dedicated to his post, safeguarding the wellbeing of students and staff. Liu says, as long as he is healthy, he will continue to serve.

接著，帶各位認識在台中市居仁國中擔任警衛的劉宗欣，今年65歲的他，在居仁國中已經13年，他盡忠職守，維護師生的安全，他說自己身體如果還允許，做到80歲都願意。


6. 萬華助清掃

Also in Taiwan. In response to a request of the Taipei Social Welfare Department, Wanhua(萬華) Tzu Chi volunteers came together to help a solitary senior clean up his home. The senior cannot move around easily following a stroke and his house filled up with recyclables that became unhygenic. Thanks to the volunteers’ help, his house now has a bright new look.

在台灣台北，經過社會局提報，萬華慈濟志工來到一位獨居長者家中，協助清掃。這位阿公中風，行動不便，房子堆滿回收物，造成環境衛生的隱憂，還好在志工幫助下，終於讓環境恢復整潔。


《 衲履足跡 》

Letting Go

Desire is the root of vexations. Only when grasping is uprooted can one finally learn to let go. Most people’s hearts, however, are full of desires. From this bed of desire arises endless grasping and fighting, as well as various vexations and delusions - all of which cannot but have a detrimental effect on our communities and our earth as a whole.

主題：談放下

開示：欲念是煩惱根源，破除『我執』才能真正『放下』。人心欲念無窮，所以不斷追求、爭奪，衍生種種煩惱無明，造成社會動蕩不安，大地環境也因開發而破壞。


7. 消失的書店(3)電子書店雲

The development of online retailers in recent years has slowly become a threat to traditional brick and mortar stores. Furthermore, the invention of e-books and e-readers has taken a further piece of the book market. Let’s see now how online bookstores and e-books have changed our reading habits and the publishing and bookstore industry as a whole.

科技的發展，在近幾年對實體書店造成相當大的威脅，網路書店的便利性，再加上現在電子書、電子閱讀器的發明，也漸漸影響了傳統書店，下一則新聞，我們來看看，網路書店和電子書如何改變我的閱讀方式。

8. 蘇州書畫義賣

Chinese calligraphers in China’s Suzhou want to do their part to help the victims of the recent Yaan earthquake. Teaming up with Tzu Chi for the first time, some 80 artists donated over 90 pieces of work to be sold. Including those that came from Beijing, Shanghai, and Taiwan, together some 200 pieces were exhibited at the Suzhou Jing Si Books and Cafe. The response was overwhelming with half of the artwork already purchased on the first day of the auction.

蘇州書畫家為了援助雅安地震災民，第一次與慈濟合作舉辦義賣活動，共有八十多位畫家參與，捐出90多幅作品，加上來自北京、上海、台灣等的作品，共二百多幅作品在慈濟蘇州園區展出，社會大眾迴響熱烈，一開展就有一半作品被收購。


9. 美人文結業

Moving our focus to the United States. Both San Jose and Los Angeles Tzu Chi Academy in California recently held graduation ceremonies. Taking away everyone’s best wishes, it is hoped that these graduates will continue to put Tzu Chi’s humanitarian spirit into practice and contribute to society.

鏡頭轉到美國，加州聖荷西和洛杉磯慈濟人文學校舉辦結業式典禮，在眾人的歡送下，期望這群年輕學子未來繼續推廣慈濟人文，回饋社會。


10. 無障礙餐廳

Returning to Taiwan, to allow anyone in a wheelchair to freely access the city’s restaurants, Taipei City is issuing accessibility certifications to those who pass inspection. The city’s landmark, Taipei 101 is a forerunner and this initiative has expanded to other major restaurants in the city as well, allowing those in wheelchairs to enjoy a quality time dining out.

轉到台灣，為了提供輪椅使用者更方便的用餐空間，台北市政府推動無障礙餐廳標章認證，從台北101餐廳開始，將陸續推廣到台北市各大餐廳，讓身障者能安心用餐。


END: 關渡社區香包

Finally, as next week is the Dragon Boat Festival, Tzu Chi volunteers invited residents to the Tzu Chi Guandu Grounds to make traditional sachets. Each portable pouch is uniquely different, but filled with the same blessings and ability to repel bugs. We will leave you with these images. Goodbye.

最後，下星期就是端午節，慈濟志工動起來，邀集會社區會眾，一起到慈濟關渡園區體驗做香包，每個香包都不同，但是都將福氣包進香包，希望隨身帶著福氣，一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。(2013.06.07)
