1. 菲律賓浴佛 Buddha Day ceremony in Marikina

This year, Tzu Chi volunteers from the Philippines held their Buddha day ceremony in the Marikina Sports Stadium. Apart from government officials, religious leaders from different organizations also arrived to participate. This was also the first time volunteers organized for participants to stand in Tzu Chi logo, lotus flower and bodhi leaf formations.

今年的菲律賓浴佛典禮在馬利僅那市體育場舉行，除了有政府官員，還有當地各宗教界代表也撥空參與，志工首次嘗試排列圖騰，包括蓮花、慈濟LOGO及菩提葉。


2. 菲律賓大米 Rice distribution after ceremony

Following the Buddha Day ceremony in the Philippines, Tzu Chi volunteers also held a rice distribution where they handed out 20-kilo bags of rice to some 9,831 families. The joint event not only helped residents gain dharma joy, but also filled their hearts with Tzu Chi”s love and blessings.
在菲律賓的浴佛典禮後，慈濟志工也舉辦大米發放，送上一包包20公斤的大米給9831個家庭，兩場活動下來，不只讓居民充滿了法喜，更讓他們圍繞在慈濟滿滿的愛與祝福中。


3. 美國浴佛 Coast to coast Buddha Day

In the next report, we bring you Tzu Chi”s Buddha Day celebrations all the way from the east to the west coast of the United States, where Tzu Chi volunteers in New York, Houston, Dallas, San Jose, San Francisco and San Dimas put their efforts together for a memorable day for local residents of all ethnicities and faiths. Apart from the ceremony , volunteers in North Caliafornia also set up a game area, to promote the concepts of conservation work and vegetarianism, and encourage the participants to only eat 80 percent full.

接下來的報導，帶您由美國的東岸到西岸，不管是紐約、休士頓、達拉斯、聖荷西、舊金山、聖迪瑪斯，浴佛大典因為有了志工的投入，不分宗教種族，在許多人心中留下了美好的印象。浴佛大典之外，北加州志工也安排攻站活動，提倡素食與環保，也鼓勵大家吃八分飽、兩分助人好。


4. 美總會大醫王 Buddha Day at San Dimas

Staying in the United States, at the US Tzu Chi Headquarters in San Dimas, California, some 80 TIMA members brought their family along to participate in the local Buddha Day ceremony. Free dental checkups and weight-loss consultations were also made available, to attract more public participation. Tzu Chi volunteers were also on site to promote organ and bone marrow donation as well.

也是美國的報導，在加州聖迪瑪斯慈濟美國總會，八十多位人醫會醫護不只自己參與浴佛，還廣邀家人一起參加，現場還有牙齒保健檢查，以及減重愛的撲滿的宣導，吸引更多的民眾參與。


《 靜思語 》

Only through the challenges encountered in human affairs is a gentle heart cultivated.

未經人事磨練，磨不出柔軟心。


5. 緬甸浴佛 Buddha Day Ceremony in Yangon

Back in Asia, Tzu Chi”s Buddha Day ceremony was held for the fourth consecutive year in Myanmar with some 4,000 people in attendance. Among the participant, volunteer Lin Jihua(林濟化), joined the event despite suffering from cancer.

回到亞洲，慈濟在緬甸仰光舉辦第四年的浴佛典禮，志工林濟化就算身體不適，還是來參加，四千多位民眾也來同霑法喜。


6. 印尼浴佛 Over 7,000 join Buddha Day

The next story takes us to Indonesia, Tzu Chi volunteers chose to hold this year”s Buddha Day ceremony outside Jakarta”s Jing Si Hall. Volunteers only expected 5,000 people to take part, however, some 7,000 turned up to join the tri-celebration, taking the participation of the Buddhist ceremony to a new level.

接下來的報導，我們帶您到印尼，慈濟志工首次在靜思堂前的戶外廣場舉行浴佛典禮，志工原本預計五千人參加，不過卻有七千多人一起參與這場盛會，而這也在雅加達舉辦浴佛典禮以來最多人參加浴佛的一次。


7. 印助學生環保 Scholarship recipients join Tzu Chi

To some people, garbage may just be garbage, but to Tzu Chi volunteers, recycling turns garbage to gold, and gold helps run charity work. Recently, a group of students receiving Tzu Chi scholarships in North Jakarta, joined in the recycling efforts, to learn where their scholarships came from. Let”s take a look.

垃圾對有些人來說，也許就是廢棄物，但慈濟志工運用回收，卻將這些垃圾變成黃金，黃金變成愛心。在印尼北雅加達，一群助學生一起做資源回收，體會原來慈濟送的助學金就是這些回收的資源換來的，一起來看看。


《 衲履足跡 》
Faithfulness

Doing good brings good karma; however, if we are always looking for something in return, it will lead to unnecessary disappointments. Doing charity work with no ulterior motives guarantees a peace of mind at the end of the day.

主題：談守志堅定

開示：做好事，自然就有好因、好緣、好果，若是一開始就抱著有所求的心態，一旦不遂己意就會起煩惱；反之，心無求，認定「好事做就對了」，即能清安自在。


8. 三一一‧愛接力(一) The Power of Love

When the earthquake and tsunami hit the northeast coast of Japan on March 11 last year, it not only wiped entire towns off the map, but took the lives of some 15,000 Japanese people. Those that survived often had to go on living with the devastating loss of their family members. In our new six-part series of feature reports, ”The Power of Love”, we travel to Japan to follow the lives of families that are struggling with the loss of loved ones and the normal, stable life that they once knew. In the first of our series we meet Zhang Jun張君, who lives in the City of Ishinomaki in Miyagi Prefecture. Zhang Jun”s daughter was lost along with 73 of her classmates from Okawa Elementary School when the tsunami hit the town. With her daughter dead and her husband out of work, Zhang Jun felt like she had nothing to live for. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to meet Tzu Chi who infused her life and that of her husband, with new purpose and hope.

去年的311地震海嘯震碎了日本東北部，沖毀了城市，一萬五千多人往生，而生還者還要忍受失去親人的痛苦，從今天起推出六集的「三一一愛接力」專題，帶大家到日本看看他們是如何克服失去親人的痛，讓生活步入正軌。第一集，家住在日本宮城縣石卷市的日籍婦女張君，女兒就讀的大川小學遭到海嘯侵襲，張君的女兒和其他73名同學一起罹難，女兒往生、先生失業的多重打擊，她萬念俱灰，還好遇見慈濟人 重拾生命希望，和先生兩人一起成為快樂的慈濟志工。


END: 獨居淨身心
People living in solitude are always forgotten in times of festive celebrations. Thus, prior to the Buddha Day ceremony in Taipei, Tzu Chi volunteers visited a few elderly people who have trouble moving about and were unable to attend the event. Volunteers thoughtfully held a simple ceremony inside the senior residents” homes, and also provided hair cut services. We will leave you with these images. Thank you for watching Da Ai Headlines. Goodbye.

獨居者總會遺忘佳節的慶祝，因此在三節合一的溫馨的日子裡，慈濟志工佳節前先訪視一些行動不便、無法參與活動的長者，在長者的家舉辦簡單的浴佛，也幫他們進行剪髮整理儀容的服務，一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。(2012.05.16)

2. 中正浴佛花草

Staying in the Philippines, on the day of Tzu Chi Buddha Day celebration, one of its streets in Marikina City was also officially renamed ”Tzu Chi Street”, in honor of the Buddhist NGO”s contribution to the city in the aftermath of Typhoon Ketsana in 2009. We now join the renaming ceremony.

也是菲律賓的報導，浴佛活動這天，馬利僅那市也有一條街正式取名為慈濟街，這是感念慈濟人自從2009年凱莎娜風災後，就一直陪伴受災鄉親重建家園，一起來看慈濟街的命名典禮。

Regardless of where they came from, however, participants were alike in the deep reverence they brought to the ceremony. Although the inside location was smaller than other venues around the world, it did not detract from the essence of the ceremony which was a moving experience for all those in attendance.

今年蘇州的浴佛典禮，來自蘇州、無錫、常熟、杭州、武漢等地超過1800位志工與會眾們參與，無論來自何處，大家用整齊的動作、虔誠的心念浴佛，有形的道場雖小，卻意味著菩薩們的心靈道場愈加寬闊，讓這艘法船會更大、願更廣。


7. 澳浴佛+澳雪梨浴佛

We now take you to Australia to check out Tzu Chi”s Buddha Day ceremony in Sydney, Perth and Brisbane.

《 衲履足跡 》

Spiritual Cultivation

8. 不一樣媽媽(三)

The second Sunday of May is Mother”s Day, and many celebrated by taking their moms out to dinner. However, doing what they do on any other day, a group of mothers in Kaohsiung”s Daliao 大寮District spent the day sorting recyclables. Over the past 2 years, the group of recycling volunteers went from four to nearly the whole neighborhood, who are now all devoting themselves happily and unconditionally to conservation work.

五月的第二個星期日是母親節，而許多人選擇帶家人上餐館慶祝，不過有一群在高雄大寮的媽媽們，選擇在這一天跟平常一樣 做環保。過去兩年多來，這一群環保志工，從一開始的四人，到幾乎整個社區的婆婆媽媽，都一起投入環保的行列。

Recently the Taiping Elementary School Kindergarten in Taipei, in cooperation with Tzu Chi, held a Mother”s Day event for parents, where children served their parents tea and cookies before giving them hugs and kisses to thank them for their support. Both parents and children learned that it is never too early or late to say ”I love you.”

In Malaysia, early in the morning on May 7th, a flood occurred in Batang Kali, in the north of Kuala Lumpur, after a river flooded due to nonstop heavy downpour the night before. The low lying areas around the river were almost instantly submerged. As local residents were sound asleep when the flood struck, most of them fled their homes without taking along any valuables or belongings. Two days later, Tzu Chi volunteers from Kuala Lumpur arrived at the inundated village, and completed a thorough disaster survey, and the distribution of emergency cash and blankets, all within just a few hours.

馬來西亞吉隆坡北部的峇冬加里，5月7日清晨，因為一夜大雨，導致河水突然暴漲，多個低窪地區頓時變成水鄉澤國，由於大水來得突然，大部分的居民還在睡夢中，因此來不及收拾家當，匆忙逃離，兩天後，馬來西亞雪隆慈濟志工，來到水患災區，迅速的動員，完成勘察、登記和發放急難物資的工作。

9.生命告白(4)黃炫甄

In the final part of Life”s Revelations, we went to an animal shelter to speak to a staff who offers a thought provoking view on why animals deserve the same respect and rights that humans enjoy. Huang Xuanzhen is a young woman who works at the Animal Protection Association in Taiwan. Her daily routine includes cleaning, feeding and training stray dogs, which, in the eyes of many, is a laborious and often thankless job. Many people have wondered why a college-graduate like her has chosen this path. We hear what the animal lover has to say.

生命告白系列最後一段，我們帶大家到動物收容所，與其中一名在這裡的員工，一起來探討看待動物生靈的生命價值。黃炫甄在保護動物協會工作，主要的工作，就是每天清掃訓練和餵食流浪狗，這些工作相當吃重勞累，工作環境也當然不比一般的上班族，好多人包括他父母問她，為什麼一個大學畢業的女孩子，要選擇做這個工作，原來這蘊藏著，她對動物生命價值的獨到見解。

《 衲履足跡 》 On Preaching A Sermon 談傳道

In Today”s society, it is easy for children to adopt bad habits. It is the teacher”s mission to teach students moral and ethical values. When students look neat, it is because they have truly absorbed the dharma into their hearts.

現在的社會風氣，使孩子容易學壞。傳道、授業是老師的使命，所要傳的是人品道德觀念。孩子們外表整齊，是因老師所教的法已入其心，確實「傳」予「道」德觀念。

1.俄亥俄發放

First up, in March, the US state of Ohio was devastated by tornadoes. Although Tzu Chi volunteers conducted a disaster survey in the hard-hit village of Moscow, the extent of the devastation meant they were unable to find a venue to hold the distribution. On May 5th, volunteers returned to Moscow to hand out cash cards, daily necessities and hugs to residents.

首先，美國俄亥俄州，三月初遭受龍捲風肆虐，慈濟志工雖然在災後立即前往災情嚴重的莫斯科市勘災，不過發放工作，卻遲遲找不到發放場地，在5月5日，慈濟志工終於重返莫斯科，發放毛毯和現值卡給受災的災民。


2.澳內陸義診

Trying their best to reach out to the needy, Tzu Chi volunteers in Australia are also doing that by holding free clinics in the town of Tara, in Queensland, with or without funding from the government. Volunteers in Brisbane canvassed donations to put together the latest 3-day Tzu Chi dental clinic in Tara. One local nurse also offered great help by finding a venue for the much-awaited health event.

盡全力要幫助貧窮的人，澳洲慈濟志工不管有無政府資金的援助，依舊前往位於內陸的塔拉鎮，進行牙科義診，所有費用設法募款，在所有費用設法募款，在塔拉鎮舉辦三天的義診，也得到社區醫院護士的協助，能夠租借到場地，解決民眾牙痛的苦。

繼續來看花蓮慈濟醫院，護理師陳儀芳，她放棄到大城市發展的機會，反而是選擇留在偏遠的東部地區，服務貧苦病患。


6.台北慈院七周年(2)節能獎第一

The Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital, now seven years old, is best known for its energy saving efforts. One of the best ways to be energy efficient, as the hospital”s engineers can tell you, is to fine tune the air conditioning units several times a day so that they perform at optimal efficiency. In doing so, over the past five years, the hospital has saved around 170,000 USD annually on electricity bills.

台北慈濟醫院七歲了，院內最大的特色之一，就是節能減碳的措施，要如何節約能源，醫院的工程師的方法，就是不斷調節冷氣機內部溫度，充分發揮主機效能，過去五年來，創造平均每年可省下17萬美元的電費。


《 衲履足跡 》談持戒 On Keeping The Precepts

Tzu Chi volunteers need to abide by Tzu Chi”s ten precepts. If we have a healthy lifestyle we don”t need to be disciplined. The purpose of the ten percepts is to eliminate bad habits and to protect our physical and spiritual health.

慈濟人須遵守慈濟十戒，若懂得健康生活，也不需要設戒，因為無從犯戒。之所以有此十戒，是為了改正，被後天環境污染而養成的不良習慣，進而保護身心健康。


7.生命告白(2)蔡亥豪

In our series on Life”s Revelations, today we speak to sixth grader, Cai Haihao. Though his father has oral cancer and diabetes and his mother suffers severe depression, Haihao has stepped up to the plate to take care of family chores while still attending school. He was recently recognized by the Taiwan Fund for Children and Families for his dedication to his parents. Even though Haihao”s classmates often ridicule him about his ”dysfunctional family”, the mature boy is grateful for all he has.

8.馬八分飽人物

The next story takes us to Selangor, Malaysia, to meet Xiao Yaxian (蕭亞賢), whose exemplary frugalness is a result of poverty in her childhood years.

Moving to Taiwan, teacher Luo Meili was a rebellious young woman, who once traveled abroad without notifying her parents. The result? Silent treatment from her father for three years. Now a volunteer at Tzu Chi Teachers Association, as Meili rehearsed for the Buddha Day ceremony, she regrets her past behaviors and hopes to honor her parents through service work.

鏡頭轉到台灣，在台北市擔任老師的駱美利，年輕的時候非常叛逆，曾經瞞著父母親一個人到海外旅行，父親氣得三年不跟她說話，現在她成為教聯會的老師，並在今年的浴佛大典上擔任志工，她懺悔自己的行為，希望能回報父母恩。

This time TIMA doctors were joined by the Texas Chinese Doctors Association. Together they provided a range of services including gynecology, pediatrics, Chinese medicine, as well as health check.

In Christchurch City of New Zealand, after last year”s earthquake Tzu Chi volunteers promised to provide lunch for less fortunate students in Linwood High School once a week starting from this month. The first time, Tzu Chi volunteers from Christchurch and the New Zealand Chapter brought along vegetarian burgers. The students were very happy and agreed to go meatless.

3.印當格朗大米

We go to Asia for our next report, volunteers in Indonesia”s Tangerang traveled to four townships to deliver rice to the poor and needy. Some are elders without children to look after them, while others are single moms trying to raise a family. Regardless of their background, most of them live from meal to meal and Tzu Chi”s aid is their first step to getting out of poverty.

在印尼當格朗的慈濟志工，前往當地四個鎮，為貧苦居民發放愛心米糧，有些貧苦人家，有的年邁，孩子不在身邊，還得照顧孫子，有的則是單親媽媽，辛苦的維持家庭，不管他們的背景如何，他們都過著有一餐沒一餐的生活，志工帶來大米，將是脫離貧困的第一步。


《 靜思語 》

It takes wisdom not to inflict suffering on others when oneself is suffering.

受人折磨，能注意不折磨他人，也是增添一分智慧。


4.馬萬人齋戒併

The next story takes us to Malaysia, for several years now, Tzu Chi volunteers across Malaysia come together every May, to carry out a vegetarian campaign in their communities. Starting from last year, volunteers have asked local vegetarian restaurants to join the cause, and this year not only has the number of participating restaurants increased, so has the amount of participants, which include Chinese, Malaysians, and Indians.

5.馬衛塞節推素

Staying in Malaysia, Ve-sak Day is Buddhism”s holiest Day, celebrating the birth, enlightenment, and death of the Buddha. This is the time when grand festivals are held in various parts of South East Asia and South Asia.

This week Sunday will be Mother”s Day and apart from showing gratitude to your mom, is there anyone else you would like to thank? Starting from today, we begin a series of reports based on 4 different people. Through listening to their life-stories, and meeting the person or things that changed their life, we gain a deeper understanding to the value and meaning of life. The first person we meet is well-known wheelchair dancer, Lin Xiuxia(林秀霞), who inspired many around her with her passion for dancing. What many people may not know, is that the seeming-ly optimistic Xiuxia, once contemplated suicide when her husband left her for another woman and so has her children. Let”s hear how Lin overcome her challenges in life.

《 衲履足跡 》談把握因緣 On Cherishing Karma Connection

Every year Tzu Chi celebrates the three special festivals and remembers the three

Graces (the grace of Buddha, our parents and others). However; the Master said we should be grateful every day and remind ourselves to cherish affinity and integrate the Buddha”s teachings into our daily lives.

年年慶「三節」、感念「三恩」，並非只有一年一次感念佛恩，父母恩與眾生恩，必須日日感恩、時時提醒自己，把握殊勝因緣，落實佛法生活化、菩薩人間化。


8.360藝閣花車

In today”s look at Taiwan”s traditional industry, we visit a group of float makers in Beigang, who help make the annual Mazu parade come alive. The float is called ”Yige”藝閣 for it should embody master craftsmanship and poetry.

1.澳洲車禍關懷A life changing car accident

First up in the show, we have a report from Australia on a young Taiwanese man who was injured in an auto accident during his working holiday in the country. Kuo Tingyu(郭庭瑜) from Taiwan went to Australia a year ago to explore new opportunities; however, a road accident cut short his trip, and caused a great deal of pain for him and his family. Thankfully, with Tzu Chi volunteers” help, they were able to turn their thoughts into positive thinking.

首先來看澳洲一位來自台灣的年輕人，到當地打工發生車禍的報導，一年前郭庭瑜到澳洲追尋工作的機會，沒想到發生嚴重車禍，庭瑜和媽媽對發生車禍非常沮喪，慈濟志工的幫助改變了他們對於車禍的看法。


2.花社區浴佛Helping seniors celebrate Buddha Day

Moving to Taiwan, as Buddha Day and Mother”s Day are less than two weeks away, Tzu Chi volunteers in Hualien have started visiting local nursing homes to celebrate the festivals with the seniors who are unable to make it to the main venue.

鏡頭轉到台灣，距離佛誕節與母親節不到兩個禮拜，花蓮的慈濟志工為了體恤老人家無法親臨浴佛會場，特地到安養機構舉辦浴佛大典。


3.贏在起跑點Taking baby steps when raising children

In our featured series, ”One Step Ahead”, yesterday we looked at some of the best ways to help school-age children grow intellectually and emotionally according to the development of the brain. Today, our focus shifts to infants and toddlers between the ages of one and three, a period when the brain grows at its most rapid pace. Toddlers explore the world through their senses, and the stimulation they receive greatly aids the development of neural connections, and hence their intelligence. We speak to experts in neuroscience and child psychology to better understand how best to help toddlers reach their full potential.


贏在起跑點專題，昨天帶您了解如何幫助國小階段的孩子智力與情緒發展，今天我們要探討的，是一到三歲的幼兒，其實從腦部發育情況來看，大腦在一到三歲時成長最為急促，在這個階段的孩子，透過感官認識世界，來自外界的刺激，有利於神經元的連結、提高智力，我們問腦科學與兒童心理學的專家，如何幫助幼兒發揮最大的潛力。


4.八分飽(二)楊添丁The love of a taxi driver

Mr. Yang is a Tzu Chi care recipient living in Taichung, Taiwan. A taxi driver by trade, Mr. Yang made enough to get by. However, at 35, diabetes took his right leg, after which he was required to receive weekly dialysis treatments. As his meager income was unable to cover his medical costs, Tzu Chi stepped in to help. Now Yang is once again driving his cab and helping others as a way to give back.

台中有位慈濟照顧戶楊先生，開計程車維生，還能安然度日，但是三十五歲那年，糖尿病導致右腳截肢，接著還開始洗腎，微博的薪資無法負擔醫療費用，慈濟人適時關懷協助，楊先生現在再度開計程車，也日日投善款，發善念、回饋愛。

6.360蕉農(一)Taiwan once called the banana kingdom

In our featured report on Taiwan”s sunset trades, today we”ll be looking at the fading industry of banana farming and the farmers behind it. In 1963, Taiwan”s bananas were widely exported to Japan. In the ensuing 10 years, banana farming became one of the most important industries in Taiwan, earning the country considerable amounts of foreign exchange. Back in the golden age, mountains were filled with banana farms which earned Taiwan the title of Banana kingdom. Let”s take a look.

今天台灣夕陽產業的專題，我們來看看逐漸落寞的香蕉產業，一九六三年，台灣的香蕉大量進口日本

十年間，香蕉種植成為台灣主要的產業之一，為我國賺取可觀的外匯，在那段風光的日子裡，山上有著滿滿的香蕉園，使得台灣儼然成為香蕉王國，讓我們來看看。


7.360蕉農(二)Music band helps raise awareness

75-year-old Lv Ming, whom we met in the last story, has seen the rise and fall of the banana industry in his hometown of Qishan, and witnessed how young people moved away one after another in search of better business opportunities. To the delight of Lv Ming and other banana farmers like him, several local young men came together and formed a band, hoping to use music to revive Qishan”s banana culture.

剛剛我們看到有關75歲呂明的報導，看到老旗山蕉農產業的沒落，也看到許多年輕人離開了旗山，尋找更好的工作機會，為了振興香蕉產業，多位年輕人組成”台青蕉樂團”，希望透過音樂重振旗山香蕉文化。
