1.廈門火災關懷 Comforting families of fire victims

We start the show in China, on June 7 th, 47 people died and 37 were left injured as fire engulfed a BRT bus, which stands for Bus Rapid Transit, a mass transit system in Xiamen. Tzu Chi volunteers rushed to the scene after hearing the news, and for the past few days have done their best to comfort and console the families of victims-many who have not left the hospital since the tragedy occurred.

先帶大家到中國，6月7號，廈門快捷轉運公車，BRT公車，發生縱火案，共造成47人死亡34人受傷，慈濟志工得知消息後，馬上趕到現場進行膚慰，過去幾天來，志工向受害者的家屬，提供必要的關懷，許多受害者在事件發生後，還留在醫院治療。


2.縱火社區關懷 Zhonghe house set on fire

Next is another fire story, but set in Taiwan. A couple of days ago in New Taipei City`s Zhonghe(中和) District, a home was intentionally set on fire. As the police conduct their investigation, Tzu Chi volunteers quickly arrived to comfort the startled neighborhood with Master Cheng Yen`s words and blessings. Here is our report.

接下來也是火災的相關報導，在台灣，幾天前，新北市中和區一處民宅，發生縱火事件，在警方進行調查的同時，慈濟志工也前來，用證嚴上人的法語，為飽受驚嚇的居民送上祝福，以下是我們的報導。


3.馬健檢跨種族 Helping women refugees

According to a 2008 report of the Malaysian Radiological Society, the No. 1 and No. 2 killers of women are breast cancer and cervical cancer. Out of every 100 Malaysian women who are diagnosed with cancer, 31 suffer from breast cancer and 12 from cervical cancer. With regular health check-ups key to discovering these forms of cancer in the early, treatable stages, the Malaysian government enlisted the help of Tzu Chi volunteers to hold a free clinic for the country`s many Burmese refugees. Officials hope that such steps will leave these women better informed of possible health risks and the need for regular check-ups.

根據大馬放射線協會2008年資料顯示，大馬女性的第一和第二號殺手，就是乳癌與子宮頸癌，平均每100位大馬女性癌症病患中，就有31位患上乳癌，12位患上子宮頸癌，因此，定期健檢才能早期發現，提前治療，大馬政府邀請慈濟，為緬甸難民婦女，舉辦健康檢查，希望難民婦女，對婦女病提高警惕。


《 靜思語 》

The path of life is difficult and rough, but as long as one is willing to give with joy, the path will not be arduous.
人間路坎坷難行，只要甘願付出，心常歡喜，則不以為苦。


4.安養端午關懷併+花東端午送粽 TC sends love to all corners

To celebrate Dragon Boat Festival in Taiwan, Tzu Chi volunteers made many vegetarian sticky rice dumplings to share. Taitung(台東) and Hualien(花蓮) Tzu Chi volunteers visited their local police stations, while New Taipei City and Penghu(澎湖) volunteers visited nursing homes. No matter who the volunteers visited, the sentiments were the same as they hoped to fill hearts as well as stomachs.

為了慶祝端午節，在台灣，慈濟志工製作了很多素粽，要與大家分享，台東與花蓮的志工們，送愛心粽到當地的警察局，另外，新北市與澎湖的志工們，也來到安養院進行探訪，無論志工訪視的對象是誰，都是一樣，希望大家吃進肚裡，也能溫暖在心底。

5.慈濟粽分送愛+粽送獨老消防 Happy Dragon Boat Festival

Also celebrating Dragon Boat Festival areTaipei and Kaohsiung Tzu Chi volunteers, who made delicious vegetarian zongzi. The love-filled snacks were later given to recycling volunteers and care recipients. Furthermore, volunteers also thoughtfully handed out zongzi to local police officers, as a way to express their gratitude to these hard working guardian angels.

為了慶祝端午節，台北和高雄慈濟志工總動員，包起美味的糯米飯糰、粽子，這些包滿著愛的粽子，要發送給環保志工和慈濟照顧戶，並且，志工也貼心發送這些粽子，給當地的警察，慰勞人民保母的辛勞。


6.盲居關戶包粽 Ms. Xiao makes zongzi

In Taiwan, a 72-year-old Tzu Chi care recipient, Ms. Xiao(蕭), lost her sight because of a car accident. And while hospitalized, her adopted daughter abandoned her. Left with nothing, the senior felt she was at the last straw. However in the past 12 years, with Tzu Chi volunteer`s love and care, Xiao(蕭) has finally let go of her past, and began life anew. Treating the volunteers like daughters, mama Xiao(蕭) makes sticky rice dumplings to share with them every year during Dragon Boat Festival. Let`s take a look.

在台灣，有一位七十二歲慈濟關懷 蕭媽媽，因為車禍導致雙眼失明，而養女在她住院期間，離她而去，一無所有的蕭媽媽，曾對生命感到絕望，不過，慈濟志工12年來的關懷，讓她勇敢跨出幽谷，展開新生活，與志工情同母女的蕭媽媽，每年的端午節，還會親手包粽子，和志工一起享用。

《 衲履足跡 》談貪念 On Desire

People are always searching for some new form of excitement. This insatiable need for `bigger and better` only serves to exhaust the earth`s resources. We should try to temper this desire in our hearts and replace it with love and an understanding of the importance of cultivating blessings. In this way, we protect the environment and create a life of peace and abundance.

人心喜新厭舊、汰舊換新的欲念，使得大地資源快速消耗、能源用量增加。希望生活平安，唯有人人節制，化貪念為愛心，惜福、造福，才能保護大地環境，維持平安富足。


8.毒海浮生錄(三) Confession of a former drug user
The number of youths involved in drug use in Taiwan has been on the rise over the years. What`s even more concerning is that these drugs have found their way onto school campuses. According to statistics released by the Department of Health`s Food and Drug Administration, 55.8 percent of drugs given to users are not supplied by dealers, but in fact by students, colleagues or friends. Today, we look at the story of a college student whose one wrong step tarnished him for life. Regretful for his actions and determined to start anew, not only has he refuted the use of narcotics, he also encourages his friends not to let their life go to waste with continued use.

台灣青壯年吸毒的人口大幅增加，而毒品入校園的現象，更是愈來愈嚴重，行政院衛生署，食品藥物管理局的資料顯示，吸毒者取得毒品的最大來源不是毒犯，高達百分之55.8，居然是來自同學、同事或朋友。今天來看一位大學生，當初因為走錯了一步，卻只能揹著這個，莫須有的大污點，他現在化悔恨為動力，展開新生活，不但勇敢向毒品說不，還勸誡吸毒的同學，不要因為一時的誘惑誤了寶貴的青春。


9.慈大附中畢典 Tzu Chi High School graduation

In Hualien,Taiwan, on June 12th, a graduation ceremony for 471 students was held at the Affiliated Senior High School of Tzu Chi University for the high school, elementary and kindergarten divisions. On stage, students performed a sign language song to express their gratitude to their teachers` love and support. Meanwhile, a father also went on stage to thank Tzu Chi for changing not only his son but also himself.

在台灣花蓮，6月12日在慈大附中舉辦了一場畢業典禮，有高中部、國小部以及幼兒園，471位學生參與了，這次的典禮，在台上，學生利用手語歌曲，表達對老師的感謝，同時一位父親更上台，感恩慈濟改變了他的兒子，還有他自己。


10.志工尋根之旅 China TC volunteers pays a visits
Tzu Chi volunteers from Eastern China recently traveled to Taiwan to visit the birthplace of Tzu Chi. Before going to Hualien, they first visited Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital, where they learned more about the NGO`s unique brand of medical services. Many of the volunteers said this trip to Taiwan has given them a chance to gain a better understanding of Tzu Chi`s humanitarian spirit and mission.

大陸華東志工，來台灣進行尋根之旅，第一站參訪台中慈院，感受到慈濟，在醫療人文方面的努力，華東志工說，這趟行程讓他們有機會，更了解慈濟的人文與志業。

Lastly, in Taiwan`s Taichung, Parents Association for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities set up a recycling station for those who suffer from mental disabilities and are unable to find a regular job to make ends meet. In the process, much of the trash become treasures and the recycling station thus also serves as a second-hand store for the public who`s looking for a bargain. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for watching. Goodbye.

在台灣，台中市智障者家長協會，為了照顧喜憨兒成立資源回收場，讓家境清寒又找不到工作的喜憨兒，能學習工作養活自己，過程中，讓垃圾變黃金，而資源回收場，變成二手物商店，讓民眾來挖寶。(2013.06.14)
