After receiving an event invitation from Boston Tzu Ching, on July 17 I excitedly set off on the subway, and soon enough after a short walk through the torrid heat, I reached the South Cove Nursing Home in Chinatown.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tV1QnTm-rOY/TGybymp0inI/AAAAAAAAAcQ/AAPw4KfFjiI/s1600/2010-07-17_03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="245" ox="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tV1QnTm-rOY/TGybymp0inI/AAAAAAAAAcQ/AAPw4KfFjiI/s400/2010-07-17_03.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;這所老人院是慈濟波士頓聯絡處每兩個月一次的例行探訪。當我抵達時，幾十位老菩薩已經興奮地濟濟一堂。雖然他們大部分都坐著輪椅，卻依然笑容可掬地歡迎所有志工，而志工們也很快地在一旁做好上場表演的準備。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Tzu Chi Boston holds visits this nursing home routinely every two months. When I arrived, the room was already filled with excited grandpas and grandmas who were eagerly awaiting our arrival. Even though most of the seniors were in wheelchairs, they welcomed all Tzu Chi volunteers with big and welcoming smiles.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tV1QnTm-rOY/TGycDoqkICI/AAAAAAAAAcY/0hncHsWm8VE/s1600/2010-07-17_02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="186" ox="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tV1QnTm-rOY/TGycDoqkICI/AAAAAAAAAcY/0hncHsWm8VE/s320/2010-07-17_02.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;司儀雪芬阿姨是一位發心的菩薩，已經在這所老人院當了十幾年志工，為老菩薩們帶來許多歡笑。雪芬阿姨用流利的粵語和現場的爺爺奶奶互動，氣氛好熱烈，也很輕鬆，她的拿手粵語歌曲「楚留香」贏得了滿堂彩，連九十四歲的馬婆婆都豎起拇指說:「I like it! (我喜歡) 」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;The event hostess Regina Tsoi is a committed volunteer who has brought laughter and smiles to this nursing home for over 10 years as a volunteer. In interacting with the seniors, her fluent Cantonese brought a warm and relaxing atmosphere to the place. Her special Cantonese song "Chu Liuxiang" won unstopping applauses of everyone: even a 94-year-old grandma had her thumbs up saying: "I like it".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tV1QnTm-rOY/TGychbpV9yI/AAAAAAAAAcg/33pP9YrSZo8/s1600/2010-07-17_05.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="149" ox="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tV1QnTm-rOY/TGychbpV9yI/AAAAAAAAAcg/33pP9YrSZo8/s200/2010-07-17_05.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;素有波士頓慈濟金嗓子之稱的歐陽珊師姑，才剛從台灣返回波士頓三天，雖然喉嚨有點不舒服，卻不願失去為老人家「獻唱」的機會，與同修黃崇校師伯、女兒黃韻玲現場表演好幾首動聽的鄧麗君金曲。當歌聲悠揚地縈迴著現場，所有的志工都很貼心地替老菩薩按摩，就像是為家中的爺爺奶奶按摩一樣地溫柔善解。雖然大部分的志工並不懂得粵語，但愛心早已跨越了所有的語言障礙。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tV1QnTm-rOY/TGycrA_upzI/AAAAAAAAAco/vUCrKzwGuXA/s1600/2010-07-17_04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="131" ox="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tV1QnTm-rOY/TGycrA_upzI/AAAAAAAAAco/vUCrKzwGuXA/s200/2010-07-17_04.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;There was also the golden voice of Kim Huang, who had just come back from Taiwan three days ago. Her throat had not yet fully recovered from the trip, yet she did not want to lose the opportunity to entertain our senior friends. Accompanied by her husband George Huang and their daughter Yun-Ling Huang, they performed many songs of Taiwanese pop idol Teresa Teng. As their melodious voices filled the room, all the volunteers helped massage the elderly, much like grandchildren in the warm and gentle environment of a home. Even though most of our volunteers were not able to speak Cantonese, their spirit of compassion was able to transcend all language boundaries.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none;

border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;浴佛完畢，學生們便由低年級至高年級，逐一奉茶獻花給媽媽。當一杯小小的茗茶，由小朋友的手中奉上，家長朱毓雯歡喜地說：「我的兩個女兒都在本校就讀，我很肯定學校藉由奉茶與獻花，來教育小朋友感恩父母。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;四月二十四日這一天，波士頓風和日麗，美麗的查爾斯河一如往昔般靜靜地流著。當天活動的時間為上午九時至中午十二時。在早上八時左右，二十位慈濟志工，分別為三位師伯、十三位慈青及四位慈少，早早就聚集在河畔的咖啡店，一邊用早餐，一邊彼此加油：為環保、為愛護地球盡一分心力。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;換上大會所發的T恤後，大家便開始清潔工作。這時，我才發現垃圾比想像中的多很多。不可思議的是，明明多走幾步路，就會有垃圾筒讓人丟垃圾，但是大家還是會隨手把垃圾往河邊的草堆裡丟擲。這讓我更深深覺得，宣導環保觀念是刻不容緩的事。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tV1QnTm-rOY/S9uo4Hw4mJI/AAAAAAAAAYc/1rppyhu7xzY/s1600/pic2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right;

Though we only had 20 volunteers, we had a good start and were very confident in doing great work. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We walked to the designated site and began the cleaning process. In the beginning, people worked quietly as they felt they didn’t know other people well enough. Gradually, they started talking and interacting with each other. The president of Boston Tzu Ching, Alice Chen said: “I am very glad to see that this outdoor event bringing people closer and helping the bond of Tzu Ching.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Charles River bank was much dirtier than expected. Alice went to the site the day before to check out the cleaning area, and she thought that the area was not too bad. To her surprise, today there was much more trash that she did not notice previously, hiding underneath leaves and branches. Later on, Alice said: “It made me realize that I was not aware of how bad the pollution is in Boston. It is very easy for us to ignore or overlook the problem, because it is being hidden from our sight.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After seeing the amount of trash in the river and by the banks, people felt more strongly about using environmental kits and cups, because the most common type of trash picked up was coffee cups, especially Styrofoam pieces from Dunkin’ Donuts. In addition, most of the trash that we found had been long sitting by the banks and in the river. This unexpected scene indicated how careless we were in making efforts to save the Earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miki Huang, newly joined Tzu Ching, enjoyed the activity very much. She said: “This is not my first time being a volunteer; however, this is one of the most meaningful and memorable volunteering events I have ever been to.” While she was cleaning up trash along the Charles River, some passersby thanked her, which made her very happy. Miki later expressed: “These people noticed our group and what we were doing. That was what I was so happy about. On top of that, bringing people’s attention to environmental issues is vital.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is Miki’s second experience in joining Tzu Ching’s activities. Miki previously attended a gathering where Tzu Chi volunteers shared their experiences of doing Haiti relief work. After joining Tzu Ching, she met many new friends, and felt that it was a great deal of fun working with people who have a similar goal — to save the Earth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During cleaning, we also found some odd objects such as tires, a wooden desk, dead animals, needles, and other things that one would think to have no reason to be along the river. It became a treasure hunt as people were finding weird things all over the area. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cleaning ended at noon, and a picnic followed. Many thanks to SGs, who mindfully prepared delicious sandwiches and snacks; we enjoyed them very much. During the picnic, people reflected on their positive experiences. In the end, people thought that Boston Tzu Ching should make this an annual event, because everybody felt enriched by the experience. We hoped that everybody could be aware of the importance of the environmental protection, and carry it out in daily life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Charles River Clean-Up Day was very meaningful, successful and fun.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4278445177894530101-3168843482967367597?l=tzuchiboston.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4278445177894530101/posts/default/3168843482967367597'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4278445177894530101/posts/default/3168843482967367597'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tzuchiboston.blogspot.com/2010/05/boston-charles-river-clean-up-day-make.html' title='Boston Charles River Clean-Up Day-- Make a difference in our community'/><author><name>Tzu Chi Boston</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278445177894530101.post-8514922540893396493</id><published>2010-04-03T11:04:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2010-04-03T14:09:47.104-04:00</updated><title type='text'>推廣素食　尊重生命愛地球</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none;

border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;海地的一場大地震，奪走了許多寶貴的生命，震碎了許多溫暖的家庭；讓我們更深切地體會人生無常、國土危脆。驚世的災難，我們應該有警世的覺醒，更要用戒慎虔誠的心，尊重生命，為拯救地球盡一分心力。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none;

border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;為了傳遞健康的觀念，尊重生命及拯救地球，波士頓慈青學長、慈青同學於三月二十七日下午二時至六時舉辦第二屆「香積達人素食比賽」，並邀請懿德爸爸、懿德媽媽及慈少同學，共四十一人參與該活動。當天，為時四小時的活動中，處處洋溢著喜悅和歡笑，充滿「慈濟一家親」的溫馨。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;今年的香積達人素食比賽的“秘密配方”是香橙，也就是每一道菜餚必須要有香橙。在參賽組別方面，分為懿德組、慈青組，還有特別組「慈少組」。活動以知識講座揭開序幕，由慈青學長黃宣婷介紹「上人表示，素食可以淨化人心」為始，逐步說明素食與健康、環保、自然資源的關係，並提供各種研究數據。讓大家很驚訝的是，一項有關地球石油儲存量的數據顯示，如果每一個人都食肉，則再過13年石油就會耗盡；但是如果每個人都食素，石油儲量就可以持續使用260年。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;接著下來的就是師姑師伯及慈青們的賣力表現。在一個半小時的烹調時間中，參賽者無不用盡心思，卯足全力，把他們推廣素食的那份心，融入一道道美味的素食菜餚中。我們也側面得知，懿德組在整個星期當中，聚會好幾次試做菜餚，並改進菜的色、香、味；而慈青組不僅早早就開始規劃，更在活動前一天“熬夜” 準備美食，務求每道菜餚都能盡善盡美。至於慈少組呢?且讓我們聽聽十歲的翁詠瑩同學說的:“好好玩喔!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none;

border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;緊張的九十分鐘很快地過去，懿德、慈青各完成四道菜，慈少也準備三道令人“驚豔”的美饌陸續上場，呈送給評審們品嘗。在一聲聲的讚嘆聲中，評審們“困難地”做出了決定：慈青組略勝一籌! 慈青會長陳薇如開心地將比賽獎盃接下，和隊友們擊掌歡呼(high five)後，謙虛地說:「感恩師姑師伯放水!」。其實，慈青同學們，因為您們的用心，您們的得獎真的是實至名歸。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Everyone gathered for a welcome meeting to make sure everyone was wearing their “Tzu Chi face cream” a.k.a. their big smiles and to make sure everyone knew the plan for the day. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone divided into groups for each station with a team leader who assigned tasks and explained how they would be assisting the patients that arrived. There were stations that covered everything: blood pressure, height and weight, glucose screening, TB tests, blood work, urine testing, vision care, dental care, internal medicine, and Chinese medicine. There were also tables set up with information on preventative medicine and information on the different organizations involved in the clinic. There was also a small lecture area set up where speakers gave talks about subjects from diabetes to H1N1 to stress management to dental care. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As patients arrived they were checked in at registration and then guided through the stations in the clinic. I was able to shadow several patients through their experiences. One couple from Bedford, MA came to the free clinic after seeing it advertised in the New York Times. Tanu Agrawal, wife of Gopal Ramanathan, brought her husband to the clinic to be tested since his sister is a kidney patient on dialysis. They were taken to the urine testing and blood work stations and then had a consult with one of the doctors in internal medicine to go over the preliminary results of his tests. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In speaking with Mr. Ramanathan after he checked out of the clinic he said that he was impressed by the participation of the volunteers and the many organizations that pulled together for the event. He had “only good things to say” about the free clinic. His only suggestion was that one person should be assigned to each patient to guide them through the different stations because he was confused a few times where to go after finishing at a station. He also mentioned that the language barrier (he did not speak Mandarin or Cantonese) was not an issue since everything was so visual. Both he and his wife left with smiles on their faces and brochures on Tzu Chi and the National Kidney Foundation in their hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another patient I shadowed was Nixie Raymond who came to the clinic after seeing an advertisement for the National Kidney Foundation’s kidney screening and visited their website. She also went through the process of getting her blood pressure, height and weight, urine testing and blood work done. She had a consult with a doctor from internal medicine who referred her to the Chinese medicine station where she received a light shiatsu massage and consulted with a doctor familiar in Eastern medicine. Nixie was impressed by the efficiency of the clinic. She said it was well-run, the volunteers and doctors were very helpful and knowledgeable. The only thing she could criticize was that when she came into the building she had a difficult time finding the clinic. She recommended better signage to guide the patients to the right area of the school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was also able to interview one of the coordinators of the event, John Brothers, who is the executive director at Quincy Asian Resources in Quincy, MA. QARI mostly serves the Asian immigrant population in the area through informational services, translation, English classes, and youth leadership programs. Their organization teamed up with Tzu Chi’s free clinic last year and wanted to continue their efforts. Mr. Brothers was disappointed that the weather was not the best which he feared kept people in their homes instead of visiting the clinic, but he was happy with the organization of the event. He only wished that we could plan these events on other days but Saturdays since he believes a lot of the people who need care in the area are immigrants who work Saturdays. He wants to offer events such as free clinics when people are able to attend. He plans to review everything from the free clinic this year to make improvements on next year’s clinic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A couple elderly ladies when making their way over to the checkout also mentioned to me that they “thought the clinic was remarkable.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to say the part I most enjoyed about the event was watching the patients in dental care learning how to properly brush their teeth and floss. They were all smiles and so excited to learn proper dental hygiene and it was great to see them as excited as they were practicing brushing their teeth with the tooth brushes provided. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe the day was a great success regardless of the poor weather because every patient who came was served in a timely manner with respect and care, and everyone volunteering felt they had done something good that day. One volunteer, Jeffrey Lu, commented that the free clinic was “physically and mentally challenging, but a rewarding and enlightening experience.”&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4278445177894530101-649513896920491403?l=tzuchiboston.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4278445177894530101/posts/default/649513896920491403'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4278445177894530101/posts/default/649513896920491403'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tzuchiboston.blogspot.com/2009/11/blog-post.html' title='Tzu Chi Free Clinic a Big Success'/><author><name>Tzu Chi Boston</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278445177894530101.post-3629446437809214685</id><published>2009-11-06T10:44:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-06T10:46:16.655-05:00</updated><title type='text'>11-14-2009 Health Fair Event Information</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;更多活動資料和當天配置圖，&lt;a href="https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B0BsKr4MMAsXNTNjNGY5YTItNjZmNS00M2YyLTk4OTEtYzM5ODNhODI0MjNm&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;請點選這裡 &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;For the more event information and floor plan, please follow the &lt;a href="https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B0BsKr4MMAsXNTNjNGY5YTItNjZmNS00M2YyLTk4OTEtYzM5ODNhODI0MjNm&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;link here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4278445177894530101-3629446437809214685?l=tzuchiboston.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4278445177894530101/posts/default/3629446437809214685'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4278445177894530101/posts/default/3629446437809214685'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tzuchiboston.blogspot.com/2009/11/11-14-2009-health-fair-event.html' title='11-14-2009 Health Fair Event Information'/><author><name>Tzu Chi Boston</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278445177894530101.post-5624598973970857509</id><published>2009-10-22T21:13:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-22T21:13:56.034-04:00</updated><title type='text'>第六屆慈濟社區健康日醫療義診</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

/&gt;時值靜思語發行二十周年，全球慈濟人不餘遺力地推動靜思語，不僅僅有「好話一條街」、「好話滿街跑」、「好話滿天飛」外，美國東岸的紐約、波士頓也籌辦「靜思語20年人文音樂會」，將「清淨、智慧、愛」推廣到社區。由於籌備當中，南台灣不幸遭逢莫拉克水災，慈濟人發揮「人傷己痛」的大愛，將音樂會的另一個主題定調「為莫拉克災民募款」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;波士頓的音樂會是在九月二十六日晚上七時，在雷吉斯學院的凱西表演中心 (Casey Theater at Regis College)舉行。除志工外，預計約有五百位來賓蒞臨，共同為災難付出愛心。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;◎ 團體之美在合心&lt;br /&gt;當天早上十時，在音樂會的現場 就處處可見藍、灰天白雲和許多穿著志工背心者，忙進忙出地作著準備工作。他們有的不厭其煩地佈置舞台的每一個細節，有的準備志工的午餐，還有些佈置中庭的導覽、靜思文物和竹筒歲月。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;最溫馨的是，四十幾位紐約家人和演藝人員，在早晨七時三十分便從紐約出發，搭乘四小時巴士，前來為波士頓加油和協助。大家簡單的相見歡之後，只見節目的靈魂─ 主持人葉樹姍和波士頓節目總策劃湯惠安師姊共同指揮整場彩排，主掌燈光、音控、影視的師兄師姊們，也都迅速地互相配合。雖然彩排的時間很短，但是慈濟人的合心、和氣、互愛、協力，讓節目的節奏很快地整合起來。譬如說，由波士頓大學四位研究生組成的四重奏，原來並不認識﹐也沒有一起演奏過，但是主持人鼓勵他們 ：「這次演奏過後就認識了﹐希望下次你們表演時﹐已經是一支彼此熟稔的團隊」事實證明，當天晚上他們所演奏的「普天三無」和「把愛找回來」，感動了許多現場來賓。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;◎ 靜思語淨化人心&lt;br /&gt;當晚募款活動的進行，除了由主持人和藝人呼籲來賓捐款外，波士頓團隊還用心地設計小信封，請志工貼在每個座位的椅背，讓信封上的一句「將善念升起的剎那  化為永恆的愛心」，啟發來賓的愛心，很自在地把捐款放入信封內。新志工歐思欣說: 「在黏貼信封時，簡小芳師姑提醒我們，信封要貼正，膠帶要剪成正方形。我想，這就是慈濟的人文精神 —在每個小小動作中，修練自己的心性。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;另外一個巧思是，波士頓團隊用心蒐集了二百五十六句靜思語，在每張門票的背面都印上一句靜思語。主持人並且向來賓宣佈，在節目結束後，來賓可請志工幫忙將門票做成書籤，將一句句靜思語帶回家。為了讓大家對靜思語有更進一步的瞭解，何國慶師兄談起靜思語的緣起。他說，二十年前首次出版時﹐時報的高信疆先生和王端正師兄都笑何師兄外行﹐因為在台灣的出版界﹐能夠發行兩萬本已經算是暢銷書了﹐絕不可能像發行到到幾十萬本。後來事實證明，靜思語不僅順利出版﹐更得到文化新聞界各方的採訪推動；不但達到何先生當初預估的出版數量﹐更陸續翻譯成十一種語言。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;其實，許多來賓原先對靜思語並不很瞭解，透過節目和志工的介紹，他們也對簡短、雋永及富含人生智慧的靜思語產生興趣。華興瓜菜公司的股東陳麗鳳就頗有所感地說: 「當我在生意 煩忙、心生苦惱的時候，翻開靜思語讀一讀，心情就平靜下來….我和朋友吳美絨約好了，退休之後，一定來慈濟當志工。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;◎ 從演出中學習成長&lt;br /&gt;這次擔任演唱組曲的演藝人員孫淑媚，也是大愛電視台「千江有水千江月」的主要演員。她深深感謝能夠演出這部戲，也因為這個因緣，讓她真真實實地體驗了莊罔受師姊的一生，也因此成長許多。孫淑媚說: 「演大愛的戲，有一種使命感」，或許是因為這種使命感，即使前一晚在紐約音樂會中的演唱已經很勞累，當天長程巴士也令人疲乏，但她一點都不覺得辛苦。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;孫淑媚自認很幸運，早在演大愛的戲劇之前，就接觸了靜思語。每當心情不好時，靜思語總能帶給她心靈很微妙的影響，她笑笑地說:「我會體悟到:事情應該有 不同的想法來面對吧!」。孫淑媚也會將靜思語和舅媽分享，讓舅媽跳脫煩惱，獲得心靈上的自由。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在大愛電視台演出多檔戲劇的藝人孫鵬也分享: 「演大愛的戲對我來說既可以有藝術上的成就感，又有報酬，最重要的是自己能夠時時學習成長。」孫鵬還透露，現在經常恭聆   上人的「靜思晨語」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;◎ 付出無所求&lt;br /&gt;從去年十二月以來，波士頓團隊像接力賽般，持續照顧肺腺癌患者羅先生。音樂會當晚，羅先生也來分享慈濟對他的改變。他說: 「慈濟的師兄師姊們輪流來照顧我，每天接送我到醫院治療….. 剛開始我真的想不通為什麼他們要這麼做？」蔡群霞師姊回答他: 「我們    上人說: ﹝做就對了！﹞而且要﹝付出無所求！﹞」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;由於感恩慈濟人的付出，羅先生在得知慈濟要為台灣水災募款，也不管身體的病痛，馬上要求一同去參與昆市(Quincy) 的街頭募款，而且還答應來參加音樂會的現身說法。雖然，羅先生目前還不是慈濟人，但是他已許下心願，將來回到馬來西亞一定會加入慈濟志工行列。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;◎ 灑下靜思善的種子  生根社區&lt;br /&gt;為了與社區有更好的互動，波士頓邀請當地兩個素有佳譽的表演團體，中華民俗藝術工作坊和中華藝術協會，共同來參與節目表演。兩個團體的負責人，張昆先生和陳玉律老師，始終秉持著「心連心  手牽手  為災民募款」，指導青少年表演者，戮力為音樂會做最完美的表演。由於這些年輕的表演者實在太可愛了，主持人葉樹姍忍不住即興訪問他們；而這些天真的青少年洋腔洋調的中文也逗得全場莞爾。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;新到波士頓就任的台北經濟文化辦事處洪慧珠處長﹐是第一次參與慈濟的活動；但她承諾﹐以後一定會繼續參與波士頓區的慈濟活動。洪處長致詞時﹐特別提起她2001年派駐華盛頓﹐在九一一後﹐看見慈濟志工們﹐第一時間就到現場救援﹐並發放現金﹐讓她極為感動。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;華僑文教中心簡許邦主任在分享時說，雖然他不是慈濟人，但言行上，許多人覺得他極像慈濟人，原因是他常讀靜思語。他覺得﹐佛法深奧﹐一般人不容易理解﹐但是     證嚴法師把佛法深入淺出、很生活化地融入靜思語中，讓一般人都能瞭解，也都能夠在日常生活中去實踐力行。簡主任並且當場翻開手中的「靜思語」，朗聲讀誦:  菩薩不是泥塑木彫的形相﹐而是在實踐...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;◎ 以靜思語推動愛的循環  &lt;br /&gt;八八水災的重建之路，還很長很遠。頻仍的天災，國土的危脆，讓我們更警覺到唯有推動愛的循環，才能消弭人心的土石流，社會也才能祥和。在音樂會中，我們看到每個人的愛心馳援災民、見到與會者一張張歡喜的表情，也聽聞到靜思語對人心的影響；而我們也衷心期盼，善的循環能一波一波地擴散開到每個人身上…..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

width="480" height="295"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On September 26, we all arrived Saturday morning at Regis College in Weston, MA to prepare for the Jing-Si Yu concert that evening.  The concert aimed to raise funds to support the survivors of the Morakot typhoon.  Everyone busied themselves with setting up the stage decorations.  Also, several of us prepared the envelopes that were going to be taped to everyone’s seats to collect donations.  Then right before lunchtime the Tzu Chi group from New York arrived and we greeted them with a welcome song before helping them unload all of the supplies from their bus.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later, the performers arrived and everyone helped with the final preparations for the concert.   I was able to speak with several of the dancers who said they would be performing several dances they knew and two that they just learned.  They really hoped to make the audience feel happiness by performing.   The audience started to filter into the lobby to buy their tickets to the show and browse the Tzu Chi merchandise on display.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Tzu Chings and volunteers seated people in the auditorium as they came through, and then the show began with a “bang!” A group of drummers in costume put on an amazing performance that was very exciting and well choreographed.  When they finished the leader of ceremonies introduced the concert and the man who first started publishing the Jing-Si Yu’s with his wife after being so inspired by the words of Master Chen Yen.  He felt that each of these “still thoughts” held their own meaning and could bring meaning to others, which was the reason he wanted to publish and distribute them.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next there was a singer who performed several of the Tzu Chi songs that speak of peace and love.  She had a wonderful voice and was a powerful performer.  Even though I only had a loose translation of the meanings of the songs, I was able to appreciate them for how beautiful they felt.  After the singer five of the SG’s performed a song in sign language.  They were amazingly coordinated and passionate in their motions.  Several dancers accompanied them with billowing white streamer attached to Chinese fans which added a gentle air to the performance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A very touching moment happened next where they showed a short video clip of the SG/SB visiting a man from Malaysia with third degree lung cancer in his house and taking care of his needs physically and emotionally.  The speeches by the Tzu Chi volunteers and the man himself made you really appreciate what Tzu Chi is able to do to help the sick. Several other performances followed including a group of girls performing an aboriginal dance and a Taiwanese comedian. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later in the night, the envelopes attached to everyone’s chairs were explained and the people who wished to donate or put their wishes on the leaf cutouts for the prayer tree did and handed their envelopes to the volunteers collecting them.  As the envelopes were collected, they were brought back to volunteers who were sorting through and counting up the total donations made that night.  The grand total from the night was approximately $31,750 to all go towards the survivors of the typhoon in Morakot, Taiwan.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was able to interview Carl Nelson, the owner of ASC English Class, and his wife who were donating to Tzu Chi on behalf of the organization.  They were there because they felt that Tzu Chi was doing so much to help others and it moved them to see so many people who cared and were so passionate about other people.  They really enjoyed the show, especially the Taiwanese actor.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another person I was able to interview was Jon McMillan, a Tzu Chi volunteer, who had been there all day setting up the show and then stayed to watch the performance.  He is so involved in Tzu Chi because he believes in the cause and feels that Tzu Chi is really doing good things for people that are suffering.  The part of the night that he said moved him the most was when the man with cancer shared his story.  It was a real example of the work Tzu Chi does locally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall the evening was a huge success with wonderful performances that were inspiring.  It filled everyone’s hearts, especially knowing that they had all had a part helping those in Taiwan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article: Jane Karr&lt;br /&gt;Photographs: Kevin Chien&lt;br /&gt;UTube/Music: Victor Ying&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4278445177894530101-4515423581434901737?l=tzuchiboston.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4278445177894530101/posts/default/4515423581434901737'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4278445177894530101/posts/default/4515423581434901737'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tzuchiboston.blogspot.com/2009/10/20th-anniversary-of-jing-si-yu.html' title='20th Anniversary of Jing-Si Yu--A Charitable Concert'/><author><name>Tzu Chi Boston</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278445177894530101.post-2966489884855376733</id><published>2009-08-11T14:29:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-11T14:40:51.157-04:00</updated><title type='text'>粒米成籮、滴水成河 -

Fass&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word “education” according to the Cambridge English Dictionary is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;education: noun [S or U] the process of teaching or learning in a school or college, or the knowledge that you get from this:As a child he received most of his education at home.It's a country which places great importance on education.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I was asked to write an essay on this subject I first felt a vague sense of sadness for something I knew was lost somehow. There was also a sense of estrangement, too many words without any meaning and ultimately feelings of distrust. It was a rather complex feeling and one I decided I should really think about and analyze.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Upon reflection I found the answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the modern industrialized world order, many aspects of humanity and human interaction have greatly diminished in quality and meaning. Our ancestors before the twentieth and nineteenth centuries, although perhaps materially poorer in some mundane ways, definitely grew up and lived lives in a world that provided far greater meaning and purpose. There was the surety of the family and connection to the earth and soil. There was religion with deep faith and piety. There was the sense that education had more of a mission within the context of religion and culture which created meaning, belonging and purpose to people’s lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, for most, in the new world order, the purpose of education has become creating efficient and obedient workers for the state and large corporate entities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many times can we all remember going to class, being trained how to efficiently learn the subject matter like detailed instructions given by a corporate machine? Then the bell rings and we move on to the next class like the production on an assembly-line. We study, we learn, we cram and force all the information in as quickly and efficiently as possible. It is dissected and memorized and recited. It is then finally measured with examinations and tests and observations, given a grade and then largely forgotten and tossed on the heap along with the rest of useless exercises we’ve been made to do. We may not remember what we learned and understand why we learned it, but we certainly mastered the process. It’s a process for production and consumption with little left over to leave a lasting motivation and take us to a higher level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This current manifestation of what education has become runs completely contrary to what it means to be human. For the human mind, being essentially creative and holding the root seeds of enlightenment, there has got to be a lasting more meaningful purpose to learning that exists above and beyond the modern occupation-based social model. For it to be truly beneficial, it must constantly strive to nourish and develop the qualities that best raise up the standards of human intellect, creativity and compassion. In the Buddhist world-view, this is exactly what Dharma practice is all about; Dharma practice means to improve one’s-self each and every day through practical and healthy ways for ultimate beneficial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tzu Chi embodies true education by being a living work-based manifestation of compassion in action. I believe that Tzu Chi utilizes the work that it does world-wide in disaster relief and human aide as a form of living education. In a way it’s a form of apprenticeship at the craft of becoming a better human being within the family of all beings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through the compassionate work that Tzu Chi does, those who help financially learn to put their resources to optimum use and purpose. Those on the field providing the physical aide learn about the true face of impermanent existence, human frailty and the compassion. Those receiving the aide learn about the potential that exists in all of us if only we take up a practice of skillfully manifesting love in action. In a world that seems to be for sale to the highest bidder regardless of the moral cost, this is an education with power and meaning that can benefit everyone. It feeds the soul while developing the mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There could be no greater mission than to awaken to one’s own true-self and potential through skillful compassion and aide to all other living beings. One can not help others until one has gained this education for oneself through study, contribution and hard work. In this way Tzu Chi lives up to its charter every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For this I am humbled, ennobled and ultimately thankful that there is an organization such as Tzu Chi which lives out the mission of the Dharma and works for the compassionate aide of all in need. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4278445177894530101-1199949646841171522?l=tzuchiboston.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4278445177894530101/posts/default/1199949646841171522'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4278445177894530101/posts/default/1199949646841171522'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tzuchiboston.blogspot.com/2008/12/tzu-chi-and-education.html' title='Tzu Chi and Education'/><author><name>Tzu Chi Boston</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278445177894530101.post-3773168896507124579</id><published>2008-12-03T00:41:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2008-12-03T00:50:26.950-05:00</updated><title type='text'>三個來自台灣的女生勇闖美國之行</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275436428476535714" style="FLOAT: right;
