1.香港火災關懷 Fire in Mong Kok

In Hong Kong”s Mong Kok district, Fa Yuen Street is a popular shopping destination for tourists. On Wednesday last week, a fire broke out early in the morning, causing nine deaths and 30 injuries. Tzu Chi volunteers immediately mobilized to care for the fire victims, and also put together 50 blankets for the affected families.

香港旺角知名的購物區”花園街” ，深受觀光客喜愛，這周三凌晨發生火警，至少造成9人死亡、30人受傷，香港慈濟人得知後，隨即動員前往災區和醫院關懷，
同時也準備了五十條毛毯送給災民。


2.世紀泰水劫-4台商自助 Thai business coping with floods

Moving to Thailand, Siam Pacific Electric Wire and Cable company is the second largest communications and power cable supplier, and the second largest Taiwanese-owned business in the country. However, its 28-acre manufacturing facility just outside of Bangkok, could not escape the floods, and now managers are desperately trying to breathe life back into their factory.

太平洋電纜是泰國第二大市佔率的電信電纜生產公司，也是第二大的台商企業，但這次泰國水災，公司位在曼谷附近的28公頃廠房全數淹沒，員工管理階層同心協力找尋辦法。


《 靜思語 》


一念貪，會造成苦的果。人心貪婪不息，天災人禍不止。


3.柬埔寨籌備 Advanced team faces challenges

On Sunday, December 4, volunteers in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Pehn organized their first ever major distribution of aid. The recipients were victims of the recent flooding that inundated slum areas in the Chroy Chongva commune. Tzu Chi volunteers from Singapore and Malaysia came to help, but during preparations, the team had to overcome some challenges on the way. Apart from having to push through deep water to reach the victims, the volunteers had to fill out hundreds of distribution coupons in the Khmer language. Thankfully, the owner of a local factory offered her staff to help. (Ke-meer)

周四，12月4號，柬埔寨金邊的志工將首次進行大型的生活物資發放，幫助的對象就是住在金邊市郊的水凈華區貧困居民，來自新加坡和馬來西亞的志工也會前來協助發放，而在籌備過程中，志工也面對了一些考驗，除了涉水幫助災民外，還要準備發放券給災民填寫資料，還好一位當地企業家，動員工廠裏的員工來協助。


4.柬埔塞生活 Life in flood area

Life was already very difficult for villagers in the Chroy Chongva commune, of Phnom Pehn, even before the floods. In one village between the Tonle Sap and Mekong rivers, 800 out of 1,300 households are poor. The average wage is only 50-80 US dollars a month. Already living in poverty, the villagers were hit very hard by the floods in September of this year. Some of the residents were forced to leave their homes, and are now living in temporary shelters.

鏡頭留在柬埔寨，將於住在金邊郊區的水淨華區，水患前，原本生活已經很辛苦，水凈華區分別被洞裡薩河及湄公河左右包圍，這個村1300多戶家庭中，就有800多戶是屬於貧困家庭，每個月收入只有50到80美金，原本生活已經不好了，九月份的豪大雨造成水患，有些居民被逼離開家園，還過著餐風露宿的生活。


《 衲履足跡 》 談播種耕耘

有善因、有善緣，就要及時把握，用心播種、耕耘人心福田，不只在自己的心中有收穫，也要成就他人，充分運用每一個時間、空間、人與人之間，讓愛不斷地傳續。


5.關愛之家愛滋日 Suspected AIDS babies need care

In Taiwan, babies suspected of living with HIV/AIDS can find refuge in Harmony Home”s Association. Most of the children there were infected through mother-to-child transmission of HIV. However, as long as they receive proper treatment, it is still possible for them to lead healthy lives.

在台灣的關愛之家，照顧並收容疑似愛滋寶寶，這些孩子經過母嬰垂直感染，有可能罹患愛滋病，但是這些可愛的小生命，只要定期接受預防性投藥治療，還是有機會變成健康的孩子。 6.防範愛滋病 World AIDS Day in Hualien

On the topic of HIV/AIDS, December 1st was World AIDS day. In Taiwan”s Hualien, the local health department spent the day helping raise public awareness of the disease, and how to prevent its transmission.

12月1號是世界愛滋日，台灣花蓮縣衛生局向民眾宣導對愛滋病的知識以及如何防範愛滋，帶您一起來看看。


7.彰經典開展 Rhythms Monthly photo exhibition

In recent years the Cultural Affairs Bureau of Taiwan”s Changhua County has been inviting Tzu Chi”s Rhythms Monthly magazine to hold a photo exhibition in celebration of the New Year. In honor of the 100-year anniversary of the ROC, the theme of this year”s exhibition was ”Straits Across the World”. In addition to the exhibition, visitors were also treated to a tea and flower ceremony, marking the day as a culturally rich experience for all.

最近這幾年，台灣彰化縣文化局在歲末年終時，都會邀請慈濟的經典雜誌到局裡舉辦攝影展，今年配合建國一百年，這回展出的主題是海峽影像，除了攝影展
也有花道與茶道表演，帶給民眾一場豐富的文化饗宴。


8.★1205歷史的今天 On this day, the 5 of December

1952 Big Smoke
Back in the 1950s, winter was a time for the people living in England to burn coal to keep warm. In London, the smoke from houses and the city”s numerous coal-fired power stations, coupled with anticyclone and windless conditions, led to the Great Smog of ”52. Beginning this day in 1952, the severe pollution lasted five days and claimed at least 12,000 lives. As a consequence, new environmental regulations were implemented to reduce air pollution.

1985 Int”l Volunteer Day
The United Nations declared December 5th as International Volunteer Day, which was first observed in 1985 to recognize volunteers for their contributions to humanity and to raise awareness of the importance of voluntary service. The day is celebrated in many countries around the world.

1993 Hunan flood aid
In China, early in the morning on this day in 1993, some 40 military trucks carrying blankets and bearing banners saying ”Taiwan Tzu Chi, Aid to Hunan” headed to the flooded Miao Autonomous Region in Hunan to give aid to disaster victims. The convoy of more than 100 People”s Liberation Army soldiers was unprecedented. In total, the roundtrip covered some 3,600 km, bringing much-needed aid to the Miao peoples.

1998 Tzu Chi in DR
In 1998, Hurricane George ripped through several countries in the Caribbean. US Tzu Chi volunteers went to the worst-hit Dominican Republic to survey the extent of the damage, and made La Romana their top priority for aid relief. On this day in 1998, caregivers returned to the garbage dump community with rice, cooking oil and other daily necessities, and also held free clinics for the hurricane victims. The Tzu Chi-La Romana Liaison Office opened the next year, along with the construction of a school that would help uplift the poor community.

1952年，倫敦煙霧事件，推動環保立法，1950年代，由於英國民眾習慣在冬天燃燒煤碳取暖，倫敦的冬天，住家廢氣以及市區有多座火力發電廠燃燒所產生的二氧化硫和粉塵，再遇上上空的逆溫層，形成大氣污染，倫敦煙霧事件，五天之內至少有一萬兩千人死亡，推動英國立法保護環境。

1985年，國際志工日，讓愛無限延伸，為了肯定志願服務，聯合國在1985年這天，宣布每年的十二月五號為國際志工日，表揚志工精神，驅動世界進步，各國在這天舉辦慶祝活動.。

1998年，颶風重創中南美，台灣慈濟送愛心，加勒比海各國在1998年遭受喬治颶風侵襲，其中尤其以多明尼加受災最為嚴重，美國慈濟志工前往勘察災情之後，選定重災區拉羅馬娜做為慈濟的援助地區，1998年這天再度前往當地致贈大米、沙拉油等生活用品，同時舉行義診，服務受災居民，也因此於隔年成立多明尼加慈濟聯絡點，開始在當地援建學校，將原本的貧窮社區，改造成充滿希望的新社區。


9.★1204(慈濟)環島訪貧 Nationwide home visitations

In its first ten years, the Tzu Chi Foundation sought out low-income households throughout Taiwan to which it could provide financial assistance. In 1976, Master Cheng Yen led a group of volunteers on an island-round trip, to carry out home visitations to all of Tzu Chi”s care recipients, and to check if what the Foundation offered to them was adequate. The ten day trip was monumental in that it inspired Master Cheng Yen to build a hospital for the poor.

克難慈濟功德會在成立十年之後，全台各地都有長期濟助的窮困家庭，為了確實了解慈濟所提供的幫助，是否切合需求、是否需要調整，因此證嚴法師率領慈濟志工環島訪視，雖然只有十天，卻種下了證嚴法師立願興建醫院，消滅貧窮的因緣。


10.永和歲末人物 Recycling volunteer learns to relax

Tzu Chi”s annual year-end blessing ceremonies are going on around Taiwan at the moment. Last week, in the Yonghe district of New Taipei City, at the community event, one volunteer, Dai Meirong, told the audience a touching story of how she had at last found happiness after suffering for many years. Approaching 70 this year, Dai says volunteering for Tzu Chi turned her life around, but a misunderstanding almost stopped her from joining the organization.

慈濟歲末祝福在台灣各地展開，上周新北市永和社區歲末祝福，這一位志工，戴美容現身說法，訴說自己苦盡甘來的過去，戴美容，年近七十才接觸慈濟，也扭轉了自己的生活，不過她也曾經對慈濟有錯誤印象。

END：雙和歲末香積

Finally today, we stay in New Taipei City, but move to Zhonghe”s Jing Si Hall. As it was the first time for a year-end blessing ceremony to take place at the establishment, kitchen volunteers worked around the clock several days on end to make sure all the guests were treated with tasty vegetarian selections. We”ll leave you with these images. Thank you for watching Da Ai Headlines. Goodbye.

節目最後，繼續來看新北市，但是鏡頭轉到中和區的慈濟雙和靜思堂，今年首度舉辦歲末祝福，負責準備便當的香積志工，每天天還沒亮做到夕陽西下，就是要讓所有會眾都能品嚐美味的素食，一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。

1.日多賀城發放 Aid distribution in Taga

First up in the show, the Tzu Chi disaster relief team held a consolation cash distribution in Taga City of Miyagi Prefecture, for Japan”s March 11th tsunami and quake victims. Many locals joined the event as a way to help their compatriots. Volunteers also took the time to explain the origins of Tzu Chi to the participants, to give them a better understanding of the NGO.

節目一開始，慈濟在宮城縣多賀地區，舉行了311複合式災難，慰問金的發放，不少當地的居民也主動加入慈濟志工的隊伍協助鄉親，志工也藉這次的因緣
介紹慈濟的由來，讓大家認識這個慈善團體。


2.越南訪視發放 Helping those in need

Tzu Chi”s charitable mission in Vietnam”s Ho Chi Minh city is also going strong with its monthly visits to care recipients. In the next story we follow volunteers as they help a needy family thoroughly clean up their house, after realizing that financial support alone isn”t enough to help the family stand back up.

越南首都胡志明市的慈濟志工，每個月固定訪視照顧戶，接下來的報導中，來看看慈濟志工因為看到一戶人家生活環境差，慈濟志工深感懺悔，覺得做得不夠，決定為照顧戶打掃住家環境。


3.菲周年發白米 Tzu Chi turns 17

In the Philippines, the local Tzu Chi chapter celebrated its 17th birthday by holding a rice distribution for local residents. Besides a 20kg bag of rice, each family also received a bamboo coin bank, so they can practice daily acts of kindness to help pay the love forward.

菲律賓的慈濟志工，配合菲律賓分會17周年慶，在靜思堂和志業園區舉行大米發放，除了發放20公斤的大米，每個家庭也領了竹筒，好每天行善，要把慈濟人分送的愛，繼續下去。


《 靜思語 》

Walking on the right path and doing good deeds are the most genuine expressions of piety.

向正路走、做好事，是最懇切的虔誠。


4.泰國媒體記者會 Medical supply shortage

Flooding in Thailand has been ongoing for more than three months now, forcing many factories, including Thailand”s pharmaceutical factories, to close down. To help the Thai government cope with the crisis, Tzu Chi sent from Taiwan 30,000 bags of saline, 60,000 sets of IV kits, and enough dialysis solution to treat over 10,000 patients.

泰國水患持續三個月，迫使許多工廠，包括國內醫療用品工廠都停擺，為了幫助泰國政府度過眼前的難關，慈濟從台灣送來三萬袋生理食鹽水，六萬套注射軟管及一萬人次的洗腎液。


5.泰水患慈濟 Volunteers under flood pressure

The slow-moving tsunami of flooding in Thailand is proving to be a stamina test for local Tzu Chi volunteers. Since the floodwater gradually started to rise three months ago, the volunteers have not topped their aid effort, sometimes wading through swamped streets to bring food, drinking water, and other supplies to emergency shelter residents. In our next item from Thailand, we find out how Bangkok volunteers are coping with the stress.

針對泰國慢海嘯，對泰國慈濟人而言是一場耐力賽，三個月前，泰國水患的水位持續上漲，志工們持續愛的行動，甚至涉水親自到災民的家中，送便當、送飲用水還有其他物資，給收容所內的災民，接下來的泰國報導中，帶大家看看曼谷志工在這場水患中幫助災民。


6.泰國慢海嘯(2)水患商機 Post-flood business opportunities

Staying in Thailand, in the continuation of our series of in-depth reports from the troubled country, we investigate what new business opportunities the flood has given rise to, and how the Thai people have adapted to their waterlogged lives. Although many shops have closed down due to the deluge, new businesses like taxi boats are taking over the flooded streets. Things like sandbags, rain wear and rubber rafts are also selling like hot cakes. We go to Bangkok to find out more.

繼續來看泰國，泰國水患系列報導中，帶您來看看，水患帶了什麼樣的商機，而人們如何因應洪澇，改變生活型態，雖然很多商店因大水而關閉，生意機會出現在路上，多了很多計程船，除此之外，沙包、雨鞋、雨褲、船隻都大熱賣，帶您到曼谷一探究竟。


《 衲履足跡 》On Buddhism in Action 談人間佛法

The best way to practice Buddhism is through our daily life, through our interactions with people. Cultivate your spirituality one step at a time; don”t fall into the trap of theorizing Buddhism because it will only become time wasted.

應從世間深入佛法，在時間、空間、人與人之間，腳踏實地修行、學習；莫將佛法理論化，否則真的是「來不及」。


7.印尼人醫九周年 Happy 9th anniversary TIMA

The Tzu Chi International Medical Association, or TIMA for short, came to Indonesia in 2002. This year, the chapter is celebrating its 9th birthday. Over the years, these selfless doctors, nurses and volunteers have carried out 79 free clinics.

Four years later, on November 1st of 2008, the clinic relocated to Bukit Merah community where it continues to serve the needy till this day. In order to meet the increasing demand by the community, the clinic expanded its Chinese Medicine outpatient service to five days a week. We join the celebrations in our next report.

1.蘇門答臘發放 West Sumatra battered by heavy rain

We start today”s show in Indonesia, where days of heavy rain at the beginning of the month forced over 50,000 people to abandon their homes in West Sumatra”s Pesisir Selatan - or South Coastal regency. In the immediate aftermath, Tzu Chi volunteers in Padang carried out a disaster survey and small aid distributions. Aware that victims were still struggling to cope, the volunteers returned to the area many times, bringing rice, water, cooking oil and clothing for the needy families.

一開始帶大家到印尼，印尼蘇門答臘 11月初暴雨成災，當時超過五萬人被迫撤離家園，巴東慈濟人在當時就曾經前往勘災，先行發放些許物資，由於非常擔心居民的生活，所以志工又連續探訪數次，帶來各項包括白米、水、食用油，還有二手衣等物資，希望災民趕快恢復生活。


2.北加社區義診 Biannual free clinic in N California

People from poor and migrant communities in the United States, who lack medical insurance, often have little hope of seeing a doctor. That”s why Tzu Chi”s chapter in Northern California holds a twice-yearly free clinic, aimed at members of the Hispanic community. At the most recent event, doctors saw a total of 258 cases. Partnering Tzu Chi at the clinic this time was a local hospital, which offered free hepatitis B checks for the residents.

To respect life, we must use our time well for the benefit of humankind.

尊重生命，需把握時間利益人群。


3.泰國慢海嘯(1)曼谷看水 Flood situation in depth

Flooding in Thailand has paralyzed the country for more than three months. Described as a ”slow-moving tsunami”, the water flowed from the north to the south of the country, affecting around 63 provinces, and threatening the administrative and financial center of Bangkok. Starting today, we”ll be bringing you a series of in-depth reports on the slow-moving tsunami, beginning in the capital city.

泰國這波水患，持續超過三個月，因水量之大，影響層面之大，稱它作慢海嘯，大水從北部一路南下，影響範圍高達全國63府，讓泰國曼谷的政經中心有不能失守的壓力，大愛新聞今天起推出泰國慢海嘯水患系列報導，首先帶您到曼谷看看當地情況。


4.菲娜妮莉沓 Filipino volunteer makes dream trip

We”ll have more on the thorny issues brought up by the flooding in Thailand tomorrow. But back to today. After receiving help from Tzu Chi in the aftermath of Typhoon Ketsana in 2009, Nanilita Alburo, from the Philippines, signed up as a volunteer, and vowed to save up enough money to visit Taiwan to see Master Cheng Yen. After a year and a half, of vegetarian meals and saving half her salary, Nanilita”s dream came true.

明天還會帶大家看看泰國水患的深入報導，不過，先來看在2009年凱莎娜風災後，住在菲律賓的娜妮莉沓，因接受慈濟的幫助，走入慈濟並發願要存錢回台灣見上人，一年半下來，她日日齋戒，每月存下一半的薪水，終於能如願來到台灣。


5.日生回饋台灣 Japanese student says ”thank you”

Taiwan donated more money to Japan after the March 11 disaster than any other country in the world. The generosity surprised many Japanese people, and inspired one student to make a visit to Taiwan to show his appreciation.

今年日本發生311地震與海嘯災情，台灣對日本的援助金額卻是全球最高，讓許多日本人很感動，為感念台灣馳援日本，一位學生來到台灣，進行感恩回饋之旅。


《 衲履足跡 》 On Humility 談縮小自己

縮小自己，天空才會開闊；學佛，就要學無私大愛的佛心。佛心無私無我，其愛普及天下；學佛者應縮小自己，人生的空間才能開闊寬廣。

The sky is yours when you know how to bend low. Buddhism is the study of Buddha”s selflessness and universal love, and how that love reaches all corners of the world. Buddhists should humble themselves for a life with no limits.


6.牽手一世情 Wang Zhang and his wife

Our next story is about a life of limitless tolerance and patience. Wang Zhang(王掌), from central Taiwan, accompanies his wife, who suffers from dementia, to rehabilitation classes every day. Although this takes up most of his free time, the 78-year-old says marriage is a lifelong commitment.

接下來，帶大家看包容與善解的生活，住在台中市霧峰區的王掌老阿公，每天陪著失智的老伴到草屯療養院參加治療課程，雖然阿公沒有自己的時間，但78歲的阿公說夫妻就是要相互扶持、白頭到老。

8.歷史的今天 On this day, the 17th of November.

1558
Coronation
of Elizabeth I
Elizabeth I was the fifth monarch of the Tudor family. Crowned on this day in 1558, she made England the most powerful nation in Europe, and also reigned during a cultural peak in the time of Shakespeare.

1.宏國秋市發放 Aid for 722 families in Choluteca

We start today”s show in Central America, where flooding brought down by heavy rains from a tropical depression, has affected over a million people, leaving hundreds of thousands displaced and in dire need of help. In Honduras, Tzu Chi”s disaster assessment team held its second major distribution of aid, on Sunday November 13, in the southern region of Choluteca city. The event went without a hitch, and a total of 722 householders collected much-needed supplies. At the distribution site, you could see many elderly residents - grandmothers and grandfathers - who had come to pick up their bags of food; while their younger relatives stayed at home instead of coming out to help. Local volunteers said, in Honduras, the young generation tend not to respect their elders. So, Mr. Zhang Hongcai from Tzu Chi made it his personal mission to look after the seniors.

一開始帶大家到中美洲，因為熱帶低氣壓的影響，帶來大雨量，影響一百萬人，許多人無家可歸，需要協助。在宏都拉斯，慈濟宏都拉斯賑災團，在11月13日周日，地點在秋市，舉行第二場大型發放，發放過程順利，總計共發放722戶，在秋市的這場發放，可以看見很多的老爺爺、老奶奶，拖著緩慢的步伐前來發放現場領取物資，而許多年輕人卻是在家裡，沒有一起來幫忙，志工說，在宏都拉斯，年輕人普遍不尊重家裡的老人，因此宏都拉斯志工張鴻才，在發放現場，總是特別照顧老人家。


2.泰慈濟 Shelter turned into spiritual center

From Honduras to Thailand, which has also been hard hit by flooding for several months. Although the water is gradually receding, many areas, including large parts of Bangkok, are still submerged in water. The government turned its Administrative Center, in the capital”s Laksi district, into an emergency shelter, and now Tzu Chi volunteers are doing their best to make it a spiritual training ground. Besides setting up a soup kitchen, the volunteers also arranged a series of activities, to help the younger people look at their parents in a different light.

從宏都拉斯轉到泰國，泰國深受水患之苦長達幾個月，雖然水位已經退了，許多地區包括曼谷，還陷在水患中，曼谷朗四區的泰國行政中心收容所，在慈濟志工關懷之下，已經變成一座道場，志工除了準備熱食，也設計了一連串的活動，讓年輕朋友以不同的角度看待父母。


3.菲火災本土 38 families displaced by fire

In the Filipino capital of Manila, a fire broke out in the Nangka district of Marikina City, burning down 11 homes and damaging 11 others. In total, 38 families were displaced. Among the victims were some Tzu Chi volunteers, who went to help their neighbors before attending to their own needs. Fellow volunteers soon arrived, on the very night of the blaze, with aid for everyone.

菲律賓馬利僅那囊卡里，一處區域發生火災，全毀與半毀的房屋各有11座，共有38戶家庭無家可歸，包括許多慈濟本地志工，雖然受災，但是他們更要把握行善的因緣，慈濟法親了解受災鄉親的需要，火災當天晚上就準備好生活物資，進行了發放。

4.美門診周年慶 Wilmington TC clinic 1 year old

After helping others for a year, the Tzu Chi community clinic in Wilmington, California, celebrated its first anniversary. Offering dental and acupuncture services, the center serves low-income residents, especially from the Hispanic community. In the past year, many patients have gone on to sign up as volunteers, and were a big help at the birthday celebration.

慈濟洛杉磯地區的威明頓門診中心，目前成立滿一周年，提供中醫和牙科的服務，幫助當地較為中低收入的墨西哥族裔，不僅如此，許多病人也因此成為志工，周年慶上，他們積極參與。


5.花醫療奉獻獎 Doctors honored at award ceremony

The Hualien County Medical Association recently gave out its annual awards. Among those honored, were three doctors from the Tzu Chi Hospital, as well as the current vice-superintendent, Wang Zhihong(王志鴻). In our next story, we go to the award ceremony, in Hualien, Taiwan.

7.越南師訪慈濟 Vietnamese Buddhist nun visits

Dharma Master Zhongzhi(忠智), from Vietnam, had heard about Tzu Chi long before she came to Taiwan, to study at Sun Yat Sen University, in Kaohsiung. On Monday, along with some of her followers, the Buddhist nun visited the Kaohsiung Jing Si Hall, to learn some more about the organization.

來自越南的法師釋忠智，曾到台灣就讀中山大學研究所，而認識慈濟，星期一跟著一些會眾，來到高雄靜思堂，想多了解慈濟。


8.魚鱗癬關懷 Battling rare disease

Some rare diseases can change the victim”s appearance, which often results in discrimination. Ichthyosis patients, who have scaly or flaky skin, can suffer from isolation, and live in the knowledge that there is no cure for their condition. Many people are too scared to approach them, for fear of catching the disease, which is actually non-infectious. So, at a recent celebration, for persons with disabilities in Taiwan, the organizers took the opportunity to raise awareness of ichthyosis.

罕見疾病病友，常常因為外貌與一般人不同，受到歧視或排擠，像是魚鱗癬症的患者，皮膚會龜裂、脫皮掉屑，目前無藥可醫，許多民眾不知道，總是害怕接近他們，並不知道魚鱗癬症不會傳染，因此今年的國際關懷身心障礙者日的活動，就把握機會向民眾宣導正確觀念。

10.科學的100堂課塑膠(2) Know your plastics

Taiwan used to be known for its cheap plastic products, but in May of this year, the country hit the international headlines over the plasticizer scandal, after toxic chemicals were found in a number of food products. However, we could be ingesting plasticizers - which are used to make plastic soft and flexible - by misusing the containers, cling film and other products that contain type-3 PVC. If heated, PVC can breakdown, and release chemicals, including any added plasticizers, into our food.

台灣號稱是塑膠王國，但是今年五月爆發塑化劑風波，發現食物中含有毒物質，但塑膠裡頭所含的塑化劑物質，這種塑化劑主要用途是讓塑膠變得柔軟，最容易添加在一種3號的PVC塑膠，像容器、保鮮膜、其他塑膠盒等等，受熱時會融解釋放出化學物質，讓食物產生塑化劑物質。

1.宏都拉斯發放 1st Tzu Chi flood relief since Mitch

On Saturday, November 12, the Tzu Chi disaster assessment team in Honduras helped distribute food to 1,200 flood-affected families in the municipality of Marcovia, in Choluteca department. Each 26kg bag of supplies contained corn-flour, rice, beans, sugar, and salt. Thirteen years ago, when Hurricane Mitch hit Central America, Tzu Chi volunteers from the USA went to Honduras to hand out aid. After the recent flooding, they are back again, this time only to find that they are outnumbered by local volunteers.

周六，11月12日，慈濟宏都拉斯賑災團在秋省的馬可比雅市，展開第一場的水患大型發放，共發放1200戶，每戶近26公斤重的生活物資，包括玉米粉、大米、紅豆、糖、鹽，13年前因為密契颶風重創中美洲，慈濟志工的腳步踏上這塊受傷的土地，水患發生後，美國志工再度來到宏國，進行物資援助，但是這一次卻加入許多當地志工的協助。


2.泰慈濟 Tzu Chi lifeline for Bangkok residents

Next we move to Thailand, a country also gravely affected by flood. Tzu Chi volunteers continue to be a lifeline for victims displaced by the flooding, who are sheltering at the government”s Administration Center in Bangkok”s Laksi district, and the surrounding area. Recently a group of children brought their enthusiasm and energy to the volunteering effort; their presence added a familial warmth to the shelter.

泰國是另一個深受水患之苦的國家，泰國慈濟志工持續在曼谷的泰國行政中心收容所，以鄰近地區膚慰災民，當中還有一群小志工，也一起來投入，用他們的活力與熱情，構成在收容所一幅幅溫馨的畫面。

3.多賀城發放 Cash aid in Shiogama and Tagajo

Last Wednesday, November 9, Tzu Chi began a three-day cash distribution for March 11 quake and tsunami victims in the cities of Shiogama and Tagajo, both in Miyagi Prefecture. A total of over 7,500 households benefited from the distributions, which were entirely organized by local volunteers. A day before the event, volunteers were still recruiting helping hands for the large-scale handout. Despite the shortage of volunteers, the events still went smoothly. In the next story we go to Tagajo City, to meet a few volunteering locals, who even called on friends to help their compatriots together.

上星期三，11月9號，慈濟展開一連三天見舞金發放，而地點就在宮城縣多賀城、鹽灶市，總計幫助超過7500戶人家，而這一次所有工作全部由當地志工承擔，志工們到前一天都還在招兵買馬，雖然人手吃緊，但是發放順利進行，帶您來認識幾位當地居民，雖然都是受災戶，但是號召朋友一起幫助受難同胞。


4.印尼防災展覽 Disaster prevention expo in Jakarta

Disaster prevention has become increasingly pertinent given the frequency of natural disasters in the recent years. Recently, an International Disaster Prevention Exhibition was opened in Jakarta, Indonesia. The organizers hope the expo will increase vigilance in the population and help reduce the frequency and effects of the many disasters that Indonesia faces. Among the many stakeholders of the show is the Indonesian Chapter of Tzu Chi, which is sharing its experience in disaster relief.

近年來天災不斷，防災議題更為重要，印尼雅加達有一場國際防災博覽會，以警惕與減少災難風險為主題，眾多廠商之中，慈濟印尼分會也與會，分享賑災經驗。


《 衲履足跡 》談修行道場 On Cultivating Spirituality

A recycling station is a place to enrich your spirituality, and rid yourself of your unfavorable habits. It”s never too late to turn over a new leaf, as long as you”re willing to do so. Take what you can learn from other recycling volunteers to improve yourself.

環保站就是修行道場，過去有不好的習氣，來到這裡用心改過；不怕錯，就怕不改過，此地真為福地，有許多「人才寶藏」，希望人人都能藉事練心。

慈濟在屏東縣最近新增了一個環保教育站，就在內埔的大新村，環保站特別取名取為成美園，是為了紀念地主王繼平，以及已經往生的父母。


6.美水懺陳姵璇 Vegetarian at birth

In Chinese communities, many parents trick their children into eating fish, by saying that it will make them smarter. But for five-year-old Chen Peixuan 陳姵璇 who lives in the United States, and has been a vegetarian since birth, it is studying that helps her become smarter, not eating fish.

1.菲水災發放Aid for flood-hit Angono

Several typhoons ripped through the Philippines, more than a month ago, causing severe flooding in many areas. To reach out to those affected, Tzu Chi organized aid distributions in Calumpit, in Bulacan Province. The latest mission took place in Angono, in Rizal Province, which was flooded by a nearby lake during the typhoon. A total of 2,100 families received Tzu Chi”s provisions, which will help them through the aftermath of the disaster.

菲律賓一個多月前，遭受多個颱風侵襲，釀成嚴重的水患災情，志工們多次前往武六干省，卡倫畢鎮展開發放，這一回地點換成黎剎省安郭諾鎮，因為這裡靠近湖泊，颱風當時湖水暴漲，因此當地連續淹水好幾天，這次志工發放兩千一百戶人家，居民紛紛表示這份物資對受災的他們真的很重要。



2.星往診清掃Helping 76-year-old Zeng Yanying

In addition to serving the public at Singapore”s Tzu Chi Free Health Screening and Medical Clinic, staff also makes house calls to the elderly. During one of these visits volunteers discovered diabetes sufferer, Zeng Yanying(曾雁英). The 76-year-old lives in a filthy home and suffers from sores on her legs and feet. Seeing her situation, TIMA staff called together 35 volunteers to help clean up. After working for seven hours straight, volunteers transformed the home, while also inspiring neighbors along the way.

新加坡慈濟健檢暨義診中心的醫護，除了在義診中心看診，也會到患者的家進行往診，當中發現一位76歲的獨居阿嬤，腿上佈滿傷口，居家環境更是髒亂，人醫會廣邀志工一起為阿嬤清理家園，由於住家窄小，大約7小時的打掃，整間家煥然一新，也感動隔壁的鄰居。



3.撥雲見(建)日Healing young minds

The impact of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan continues to take its toll on the survivors, through post-traumatic stress disorder. Last week, we found out that the elderly are more vulnerable to stress after a disaster. Today, we look at another section of the population - the children. Young children can suffer from emotional trauma two years after a natural disaster.

日本三一一大強震後，災民出現創傷後壓力症後群，生活雪上加霜，上周，我們談到老人家在震後，也產生因為壓力問題而受影響，不過，今天我們帶大家看看另一個易受傷的族群，小孩子，小小孩童在天然災害後，陷入心靈創傷長達二年之久。



4.宜春助學金Scholarship funds for needy students

Recently, 86 Tzu Chi volunteers from all over China went to Yichun宜春, in northwest Jiangxi province, to hand out scholarship funds and teach local children Jing Si aphorisms. Unlike previous years when the scholarship was only awarded at a formal ceremony, this time Tzu Chi volunteers handed the money to student aid recipients during their home visitations, so the money can be put to use immediately.

最近 86位來自中國各地的慈濟志工，來到江西宜春發放助學金，也教導孩童靜思語，不過，和往年作法不同的是，以前在家訪過後會發放，這次志工們在訪視時，直接發放助學金，讓孩子們不用擔憂學費的來源。



5.美水懺大驗收Water Repentance in San Dimas

Last Sunday at the Tzu Chi US Headquarters in San Dimas, California, 509 performers came together, from all over the West Coast, for the first major evaluation of the Water Repentance musical. This was the first gathering of all the actors since the sutra study group began in May.

上禮拜天慈濟美國總會，加州聖迪瑪斯園區，舉行第一場水懺演繹驗收，共有來自西岸509位志工一起起參與，這也是今年五月啟動水懺共修之後，第一次將所有的入經藏志工集合在一起。



6.美水懺夫妻Special 30th anniversary present

Among the 509 performers we just saw in the last story, is the couple Feng Wenyou and Bai Xuefeng. The pair has been married for 30 years, and loves celebrating their anniversaries, sometimes in lavish ways. But this year Feng Wenyou came up with an unusual present for his wife. Let”s find out what it was.(馮文佑以及白雪鳳)

在這509入經藏志工中，有一對夫妻檔，馮文佑以及白雪鳳，兩人今年結婚三十周年，過去，每一年結婚周年都有著各種的慶祝方法，不過今年馮文佑給他妻子結婚30周年禮物，卻有著與眾不同的特別，一起來看看。

Ask people to join volunteer service, and many will tell you they are too busy for that kind of work. However, for Tzu Chi volunteer, Lin Amian(林阿免), time is not an issue because giving selflessly to others, brings her a spiritual harvest that cannot be measured. We meet the enlightened volunteer, who owns a clothing shop in a busy market, in Taiwan”s Changhua County.

要撥出時間做志工，很多人都說很難，不過，下一則報導中，林阿免師姊卻很樂意付出時間做志工，因為付出中所獲得的是無形的，帶您到台灣彰化一間市場的男裝店，去認識這位深受啟發的志工。

Coming up in the show, undaunted by Zimbabwe”s civil unrest and economic instability, Tzu Chi volunteers are still going strong with their charity programs.
In our featured report from Japan, we look at the prefabricated housing communities that are especially designed to accommodate elderly people.
Later, we go to Malaysia, where kindergarteners are not only studying the Buddhist classic, Water Repentance, but also performing the sutra using sign language and songs.

1.1109泰慈濟Tzu Chi makes its presence felt

At the Thai government”s administrative center in the Laksi district of Bangkok, which has been turned into a temporary shelter for flood victims, Tzu Chi volunteers continue to do their best to support those affected by the country”s worst flooding in 50 years. Their unselfish giving has inspired an increasing number of residents at the shelter to donate their time to help with cooking and cleaning. Volunteers are also preparing to help people in a nearby community, who are facing a serious lack of food and water.

在泰國曼谷行政中心，臨時收容所裡，慈濟志工持續關懷水患災民，他們深受50年來最大洪澇，志工無私的付出，牽引了越來越多的鄉親，加入煮熱食的行列，更主動環境整潔，除此之外，志工正準備幫忙，鄰近一個缺水缺食的社區。

2.辛巴威慈濟Tzu Chi began in 2008

In the politically and economically unstable country of Zimbabwe, life for most of the population is difficult. Even with money, locals won”t necessarily find food to buy. Four volunteers began carrying out Tzu Chi”s work in 2008, and since then, have held over 50 distributions, and inspired over 70 locals to contribute.

在政治和經濟非常動盪的辛巴威，大部分的人民生活都很困苦，有時候就算有錢也買不到食物，但是在這裡從2008年開始，卻有四名慈濟志工在默默付出，三年舉辦超過五十場次的發放，帶動超過70位當地志工。



3.撥雲見(建)日Home comforts in prefab community

In our continuing series of reports from northeast Japan, we investigate what life is like for old people, who are living in prefabricated homes. Japan has the most serious population-aging problem in Asia. The situation is even more in the countryside. Previous experience shows that the elderly suffer from depression and ill-health in the aftermath of earthquakes, so this time around, the Japanese government is trying even harder to keep its seniors happy and health.

今天持續日本東北的報導，帶大家認識過居住在組合屋，長者的生活情形，日本是全亞洲人口老化最嚴重的國家，在偏遠地區更是嚴重老化，過去大地震過後，都有獨居的老人家因為孤單憂鬱而死亡，為了避免悲劇重演，日本政府特別針對老人家的生活做規劃，讓老人家的生活快樂又健康。



4.撲滿有大愛Children”s goodness inspired

Taichung”s Xinshe(新社) Elementary School was rebuilt by Tzu Chi, after Taiwan”s 921 earthquake of 1999. In the years after the quake, the school has kept up its weekly Jing Si aphorism classes, and in turn inspired goodness in the hearts of the students. For example, second-grader Xu Lengya徐稜雅 decided to save her pocket money for those in need after participating in World Vision”s 30 hour famine program.

台中新社國小，是慈濟希望工程學校之一，是慈濟在1999年九二一地震後，協助學校重建的工程，這些年來學校固定每周進行靜思語教學一次，長期下來，也啟發了學生的善念，一位就讀二年級的徐稜雅，在參加世界展望會舉辦的飢餓三十後，就決定把零用錢省下來，幫助國外需要幫助的貧童。



5.馬幼教水懺Teaching children Water Repentance

Moving to Malaysia, the Da Ai Educare center in Malacca has been instructing students on the Water Repentance Sutra since July of this year. In addition to discussion groups on the meaning of the sutra, teachers also guide the students through the movements of the musical. After four months of practice, the students can now recite sections of the sutra flawlessly, and have also learned on how to reflect on their actions.

鏡頭轉到馬來西亞，馬六甲大愛兒童教育中心，從今年七月開始推動水懺，除了以白話解釋水懺經文，導讀水懺，並進行密集的手語及妙音練習，經過大約四個月的時間，小朋友們已經對經文朗朗上口，也紛紛懂得反省懺悔剔習氣。



6.路邊董事長(4)楊文得Lessons in a wheel pie

For many people, making a career change in midlife requires more than just courage, but also the ability to view life in a more philosophical way. In our next story, we meet Tzu Chi volunteer Yang Wende, who, due to unexpected reasons, left his job at a bank, and started selling wheel pies. The experience that not only gave him an insight into life, but also offered him the perfect opportunity to introduce Tzu Chi to his customers.

中年轉業大不易，不但需要勇氣，也需要一個淡薄的心，下一則報導，帶您認識慈濟志工楊文得，原本在銀行任職，因故離開，門外漢學做紅豆餅，這個工作經驗不但讓他體悟清安自在的歡喜，他更把握因緣，將紅豆餅攤當成人間菩薩大招生的方便道場。



7.北慈志工陳黃金色90-year-old hospital volunteer

Someone who learned to do the right thing a long time ago is 90-year-old Mrs. Chen Huang Jinse(陳黃金色) who was among the first generation of volunteers at Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital, and still regularly serves at the hospital today. The wise and kindly old lady is known affectionately to everyone as ”Sister Miaomiao(妙妙)”.

有人在很久以前，就知道要做好事，就是90歲的陳黃金色，他在臺北慈濟醫院擔任志工多年，是第一代志工，如今還在服務，這位有智慧又有慈悲心的女士，就是受到妙妙師姊的影響。

1.泰慈濟Flood coverage

First up today, we go to Thailand, where aid agencies are afraid that infectious diseases, spread by the flood waters, could cause a humanitarian crisis. The flooding is the worst the country has suffered in decades, and is likely to drag on for another month. Members of the Tzu Chi disaster assessment team, who are currently in the country, recently appeared on Thai television, to encourage the public to reach out a helping hand to their neighbors. But just getting to the TV station proved to be a challenge. Let”s go to Bangkok, to find out how they did it.

節目首先來到泰國，當地援助單位，擔心水患會造成疾病感染，屆時可能會造成人道救援的危機，水患困擾泰國幾十年，以這次最嚴重，看來，似乎還會拖上一個月，泰國慈濟志工 用心與當地媒體互動，藉由媒體力量 呼籲大家，伸出雙手一起來付出，不過只要出門，就必定是重重波折，一起去曼谷，看看如何克服困難。



2.撥雲見(建)日Life in prefab community

From Thailand to Japan, where after the tsunami destroyed their homes on March 11th this year, many survivors have been living in prefabricated housing communities. In our next story, we go back to the upper northern area of Miyagi Prefecture, to meet 90-year-old Mrs. Misako, who lives alone in one of the temporary units. However, the optimistic woman says, her son lives nearby, and she is used to looking after herself. Indeed, she escaped the tsunami all by herself. Although her future is uncertain, Mrs. Misako says, at her age, she can only take each day as it comes.

鏡頭從泰國轉到日本，今年發生的311地震海嘯，摧毀了家園，許多人仍住在組合屋，今天的專題中，帶大家來到宮城縣北邊的北上區，認識一位90歲的阿部阿嬤，現在獨居在組合屋，不過，樂觀的婦人表示，她的兒子住在附近，她也習慣獨自打理自己的生活起居，事實上，海嘯當時，她獨自逃離現場，雖然未來充滿不確定數，阿部阿嬤說，以她年紀來說，就是只能過一天算一天。



3.中義診有愛TIMA free clinic in Miaoli

Central Taiwan TIMA volunteers regularly visit remote mountain areas in Miaoli County, to hold free clinics for elderly residents. As well as treating chronic complaints, the volunteers say they also make connections with the locals. On their latest trip to Nanzhuang, one grandmother signed up as a paying member of Tzu Chi.

把握分秒，中區人醫會定期到偏遠山區義診，也為長者做往診服務，除了治療慢性疾病，更用心建立彼此感情，這次訪視中 一位阿嬤受感動，因而加入慈濟會員。



4.路邊董事長(3)張信語Giving without thought of return

”Giving without thought of return” is the motto of Zhang Xinyu(張信語), from Changhua County in Taiwan. Instead of staying at home and enjoying her role as a grandmother, she grows magnolias in her garden to sell at the market. And what she earns from peddling the flowers, she donates to charity. Passionate about her fundraising work, Zhang Xinyu says that giving is better than receiving.

付出無所求，下一則報導，帶大家到台灣彰化，認識一位張信語阿嬤，但她不以坐在家裡含飴弄孫為滿足，反倒種了二十多株玉蘭花，天天摘下到市場叫賣，賺來的錢全都拿來佈施，阿嬤說，懂得付出 收穫更多。



5.松山紅包製作Blessing & Wisdom envelopes

With New Year just around the corner, volunteers around Taiwan are picking up the pace of their work to make Tzu Chi”s signature ”Blessing and Wisdom” envelopes. At the Tzu Chi Liaison Office in Taipei”s Songshan District, one elderly volunteer commutes an hour each way to come help; while another has come all the way from Germany, to better understand how making these envelopes brings people together.

新年即將到了，各地慈濟志工加快腳步，製作歲末祝福所需要用的福慧紅包，在台北松山聯絡處，就有阿嬤每天來回車程，需要兩個多小時，天天報到，另外還有德國的慈濟志工，也特別前來了解這小巧的祝福紅包，是如何聚集眾人的愛心。

As we just saw in our history feature, the Indonesia TIMA chapter was formed on this day in 2002. Over the years, its membership has grown from 60, to now over 300. As of October this year, TIMA Indonesia had held 79 free clinics, all over the country, and treated over 200,000 cases. In our next story, we look back at the chapter”s years of service.

就如剛剛在歷史上看到，印尼慈濟人醫會是在2002年的這天成立，幾年下來，會員由當初的60多人，到如今的超過300人，直到今年10月為止共舉行過79場義診，服務超過20萬位病患，現在來回顧人醫會這幾年的服務。



8.發心救心Behind each Tzu Chi free clinic

For every TIMA free clinic, numerous volunteers invest hours preparing all the necessary equipment; and when the event is over, they spend just as much time cleaning and sterilizing the tools, and putting them back in place. In our next story, we meet one such volunteer, Shen Juanjuan(申娟娟) who is a member of the Tainan TIMA chapter.

每一場慈濟人醫會義診，背後都有許多志工幫忙整理醫療器具，而義診結束後他們也要把用過的器具消毒後再放回去，今天來認識台南人醫會的申娟娟師姊。



9.立冬進補Bolstering immune system for winter

Tuesday marked the beginning of winter in Taiwan. As the weather starts getting colder, with the temperature dipping to below 20 degrees Celsius at times, many sun-loving people in Taiwan are looking to tonics, to bolster their immune system. Adding traditional herbs to make rich soups is one way to nourish the body. The experts suggest adding root vegetables, like yams and sweet potatoes, along with some mushrooms and tofu, to make the soup more hearty.

星期二，是台灣的立冬，代表天氣會逐漸變冷，還可能跌破二十度，很多熱愛暖和感覺的人，都會開始燉煮中藥來補補身子，增加抵抗力，為了讓補湯能夠更健康，專家建議可以在一般的中藥材裡，加上一些根莖類植物，像是山藥、地瓜，或是豆類製品和香菇。

1.曼谷進水 Bangkok still in harm”s way

Thailand”s worst flood in 50 years has paralyzed the country for several months now, and the waters are now threatening Bangkok”s city center. Plans have been made to divert water away from the capital and speed up drainage. As one Da Ai reporter finds out, the waters flood in at a surprisingly speed, and while warnings have long been issued by the government, many locals still chose to flee their homes just before the flood hit their doorsteps.

泰國這波50年來的大水，幾個月來讓國家脈動停擺，現在更是威脅曼谷市中心，泰國當局打算疏散大水，力保市中心，大愛記者走訪當地，發現這波大水其實上升速度可不慢，儘管政府當局早就呼籲撤離，居民大多還是等到水淹家門前，才決定離開。


2.泰慈濟 Establishing a soup kitchen

To help ease the worries of Thai flood victims taking shelter in a government”s administrative center in Bangkok, Tzu Chi volunteers lead them in group activities, and are helping them find spiritual peace through studying Jing Si Aphorisms. In addition, volunteers have also set up a soup kitchen to feed flood victims.

為了讓住在泰國行政中心收容所裡，水患鄉親的心情，能夠安定，慈濟志工前來，帶動大家做活動，也透過閱讀靜思語平靜心靈，慈濟志工因此決定在收容所設站煮熱食。


3.宏都拉斯場勘 Preparing for 2-day distributions

Also affected by floods is Honduras, where lots of people have been out of work, with many factories closed down. To address the situation, Tzu Chi plans to hold a two day aid distribution on the 12th and 13th of this month, in the cities of Morcavia and Choluteca, to help 2,000 of the hardest hit households. At present US Tzu Chi volunteers are in Morcavia looking for a suitable distribution site.

洪水也讓宏都拉斯陷入窘境，許多工廠倒閉，人民頓時失去工作，慈濟志工們預計於當地時間，11月12、13兩天，在災區秋省的秋市，和馬可比雅市進行發放兩場，共約2000戶的發放，美國慈濟志工在馬可比雅市，找到了理想的發放場地。


《 靜思語 》

Smiling, giving, and being gentle and considerate are all expressions of love.

笑容、柔軟、體貼、付出，是愛的表達。


4.土耳其勘災報告 Turkish aid team reports to Jing Si Abode

Eastern Turkey was rattled by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake on October 23. Tzu Chi volunteers flew from Istanbul to the worst-hit province of Van on October 26 to assess the damage. The volunteers, who are now in Taiwan to report to Tzu Chi”s headquarters in Hualien, said they have established a partnership with a local NGO called Kimse Yok Mu.

5.土耳其影片 Surveying quake damage in Van

As well as reporting on the disaster situation, Tzu Chi”s volunteers from Turkey, Yu Zicheng余自成 and Hu Guangzhong胡光中, brought back film footage of quake-hit Van. The huge earthquake caused at least 600 deaths. The volunteers discovered that the number of damaged buildings may be much higher than the official estimate.

除了勘災外，土耳其慈濟志工，胡光中和余自成，也帶回前往萬恩勘災的影片，土耳其的7.2強震至少奪走六百條人命，慈濟志工也發現，或許房子倒塌的數量，遠比官方預估的還要高出許多。


《 衲履足跡 》談貧與富 On Poverty and Wealth

Disasters strike the rich and the poor, and money cannot buy you everything. In the aftermath of a man-made or natural disaster, panicking will not get you food or shelter. Only mutual help and compassion between people can bring relief and security.

天災不會揀別貧富，金錢並非萬能，一旦天災人禍線前，慌亂中欲求飽暖亦不能得，唯有人間互愛互助，才能脫困得安。


6.日本20年感恩 TC celebrates 20 years of charity work

After the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, the Tzu Chi-Japan chapter has carried out seven cash distributions in Iwate and Miyagi prefectures, and has helped some 90,000 disaster victims.

3.1031泰慈濟Tzu Chi”s aid continues

Turning ideals into action in Thailand, Tzu Chi volunteers continued to provide hot meals for flood victims sheltering in Bangkok”s Administration Center.
