1.緬和尚廟發米
Welcome to Da Ai Headlines. I’m Siri Su. Thank you for joining us. We begin today’s program in Myanmar. The Aung Theikti Monastery in Myanmar has established a school for impoverished students in the region. Over the past 10 years, the number of students has steadily increased, which recently led to the threat of a food shortage. When Tzu Chi volunteers in Myanmar heard the news, they quickly delivered 4 tons of rice to the monastery.
Malaysia’s Sarawak is the home to an indigenous people called the Dayak. Every June, this local tribe hosts a festival to celebrate the rice harvest. Tzu Chi volunteers also made use of this celebration to distribute useful supplies to them.
Ramadan is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting to bring them closer to God and to remind them of the suffering of the less fortunate. To celebrate the occasion, in Jakarta, Indonesia, Tzu Chings invited 45 poor Muslim children to participate in events that teach them about cherishing resources.
While Tzu Chi was in Haiti to distribute rice for the needy, the volunteers were invited to a graduation ceremony for Christ the King Secretarial School, one of the schools that Tzu Chi helped rebuild in the aftermath of the earthquake in 2010. Let’s take a look at the ceremony and see how well the students turned out.
Contentment and gratitude cultivate blessing; understanding and forgiveness mitigate bad karma.

Now we’ll meet a woman living in Nantou county Taiwan, that immigrated from the Mainland over a decade ago. Ms. Chen Liyu is raising her seven year old daughter as a single mother in a small bracelet making studio, that doubles as their home. Despite her overwhelming difficult living conditions, she strives to be self-sufficicult.
On Master Cheng Yen’s island-wide tour, she stopped in Tainan to speak with volunteers there. Among those who shared their thoughts with the Master were an 85 year old recycling volunteer, as well as two middle school principals whose schools received assistance from Tzu Chi.
In Taiwan, in 2006, Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital began training volunteers to become standardized patients. Since many Tzu Chi volunteers then took on this task to help medical students learn, other hospitals followed Tzu Chi’s example and began to train volunteers. Today, we will meet some of these Tzu Chi volunteers.
Currently, only 36 military dependents’ villages remain scattered throughout Taiwan. These remaining villages are slated to be turned into cafes, restaurants or markets. Some scholars question this government policy of emptying out these villages and transforming them into commercial spaces. Today we take a closer look at this problem.
June 27th marks the one year anniversary of the explosion that took place at the Bali water park in New Taipei City. Gratitude gatherings were held at Far Eastern Memorial Hospital and Shing Kong Memorial hospitals on June 22nd. At the occasions, many burn victims expressed their gratitude of the medical staff.
In Taoyuan, Taiwan, a teacher at NanKan Elementary School has invited Tzu Chi volunteers to organize a gratitude tea gathering for the graduating students.We will leave you with these images. Thank you for joining us. Good bye.
