慈濟志工在緬甸維基村，舉辦另一波肥料發放，辛樂克颱風發生後，台灣慈濟志工及時為災區發送物資，歡迎收看今天的大愛英語新聞。
How do you measure the value of volunteering? Professor Lester Salamon, from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, says the contribution that volunteers make to a country should be included in its economic indicators. The international expert was in Taiwan this week to talk to government officials and visit non-profit organizations. On a tour of Tzu Chi Taipei Hospital, Salamon used the language of statistics to talk about the power of volunteer work.
該如何衡量志工的工作價值呢？來自美國霍普金斯大學的所羅門教授，說志工對一個國家的貢獻，因該被列入當做經濟指標，這個國際的專家這禮拜來到台灣，來和政府訪談，並拜訪許多非營利組織機構，到慈濟醫院台北分院參訪時，所羅門用統計學來解說志工的工作能力。
< Putting volunteering on the economic map >
Statistician Lester Salamon was in Taiwan to encourage the government to include the value of volunteer work in national economic indicators. The pioneer in empirical study of the non-profit sector in the US could not come to Taiwan without visiting Tzu Chi.
Johns Hopkins CCSS director, Lester Salamon：
"And the message I'm here to convey is in a way your message, but I use a different language than you do to convey this message."
< The language of statistics >
While visiting Tzu Chi's Taipei Hospital, Salamon used the language of statistics to talk about the value of volunteering in a morning teleconference meeting with Master Cheng Yen.
Taking Canada as an example, if the value of volunteers were calculated in basic wages for the hours they do, the total would come to 13.2 billion US dollars - which is more than both the motor vehicle and agricultural industries contribute to national GDP.
However, putting a monetary value on volunteering is difficult, because of the immeasurable power of good it brings to society.
< Master Cheng Yen: Back to faith >
In the morning meeting, Master Cheng Yen said volunteer work had to come back to the issue of faith.
To make invisible volunteers a visible force it comes back to needing a spirit of religion.
Touring Tzu Chi's humanitarian center later in the day, Salamon said he was impressed by the way Tzu Chi could touch people's hearts.
Johns Hopkins CCSS director, Lester Salamon：
(08:05) "This foundation is just amazing in its ability to mobilize volunteers. But we still don't have solid data on this, and so it's very difficult to represent it and present it to the world, and to put it into context" (08:55)
Salamon said volunteering is a crucial expression of people's desire to help. Volunteer service should also be honored and respected. The professor from Johns Hopkins University in the United States said the army volunteers in different organizations in Taiwan needed to be collectively organized.
Johns Hopkins CCSS director, Lester Salamon：
(10:50) "This army needs to be better represented. I think it needs to improve its own training and its capability, its capacity building. But I have just come away with an enormous sense of awe at the scale of non-profit action."(11:05)
Salamon said his lasting impression of Taiwan is the emotional connection non-profit organizations like Tzu Chi have made with the people of the country.
統計學家所羅門教授來到台灣，鼓勵政府重視慈善工作，來作為國內經濟指標，這位研究美國非營利組織機構的先驅，來到台灣一定要拜訪慈濟。
霍普金斯大學教授所羅門：我帶來的訊息其實也是你們自己的訊息，但是我用一個不同的語言來表達。
到慈濟醫院台北分院參訪時，所羅門教授在慈濟的人文早會上，用統計學來向證嚴上人分享，志工精神的研究心得。
用加拿大當例子，如果志工的價值，可用每小時的基本工資計算，那將會等於132億美金，這超越了汽車業及農業，為國內生產總值的貢獻。
但將志工的工作換成金錢來衡量，非常困難，因為它為社會帶來的廣大善能，是無法形容的。
在早會中，證嚴上人說志工的工作都，回歸到信念的本質。
霍普金斯大學教授所羅門：我們要把隱形的志工變成有形的力量，回歸存在於宗教的力量。
之後，在參訪慈濟的人文中心時，所羅門說他對慈濟的精神感到敬佩。
霍普金斯大學教授所羅門：這個慈善機構太不可思議了，它能動員這麼多志工，不過我們還是沒有實據的資料，所以很難解釋給全世界聽，然後把它整理出來。
所羅門說志工，是人們想幫助他人一個重要的表達方式，志工的工作應該被重視及尊敬，這位從霍普金斯大學來的教授說，在台灣不同機構的志工軍團，需要集體管理。
霍普金斯大學教授所羅門：這個軍團需要被更好的呈現，我想它需要進步，特別是訓練跟能力，能力增長方面，但是我才剛剛回神，這個非營利組織機構的規模。
所羅門說他對台灣持續的印象是，向慈濟這樣的非營利團體對，全民的感性一面的連結。

To date, Tzu Chi Disaster Relief teams have relayed eight missions in Myanmar. However, Wai Gyi Village in Jiaodian Township had yet to receive aid since Cyclone Nargis struck. Upon hearing about Tzu Chi, the village leader asked volunteers to help. The Tzu Chi team immediately responded and recently visited the village where they received a cordial welcome.
慈濟賑災團在緬甸，已經來到第八團，不過，礁旦鎮有一個村莊維基村，從風災過後一直都沒有得到任何團體的援助，村長知道慈濟後，特別請求慈濟人也能來村裡幫助村民，慈濟志工隨即回應，來到維基村時，村民歡欣鼓舞的迎接。
< Dance and music to welcome Tzu Chi >
Before the boat pulls into shore, there is already the sound of drums and music. To welcome the arrival of Tzu Chi volunteers, villagers are dancing at the pier.
< Tzu Chi brings a ray of light >
Infected by the excitement, children also can't help but joining in. Like a New Year celebration, the whole village is joyful and delighted. In the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis the residents have yet to receive aid. Now that Tzu Chi volunteers are here, they are finally seeing a ray of light.
< Fertilizer distribution for farmers >
In Jiaodian Township's Wai Gyi village lives more than 300 households, among which 206 are farmers. Tzu Chi volunteers bring for them - fertilizers, hoping they can soon support themselves again.
Tzu Chi volunteer, Liu Jixuan：
"When the rice is harvested, they will be able to help their own schools and temples."
< Mutual help in village >
First rebuild their homes then they can help others.
Village head, Nyunt Lwin：
"Tzu Chi came to help everyone. We should sow Tzu Chi's spirit here and learn how to help others."
One farmer in particular is deeply stirred by volunteers' selfless giving and love for his village.
Volunteer interpreter：
"The love of Master Cheng Yen and Tzu Chi can never be forgotten in his life. This is the only time he has ever received such love in his life."
This is a letter Dan Chang wrote to Master Cheng Yen. Next to the letter is 20,000 Myanmar Kyat, equals to 3640 USD - his donation to Tzu Chi. Through the letter and money, this teary senior hopes to express his earnest appreciation for Tzu Chi.
Passing on love／Villager, Dan Chang：
"After the cyclone, Tzu Chi came to help us and provided us with enough fertilizer. We will have a good harvest and I will be like Master Cheng Yen and also help other people. I am donating this money and this is what I want to do from the bottom of my heart."
< Donating hard-earned money >
An owner of 12 acres of farmland, Dan Chang has to wait for harvest season to have an income. Even so, knowing Tzu Chi volunteers are here, the elderly man borrowed money against his future harvest to donate to volunteers.
Tzu Chi volunteer, Chen Meili：
"He said he has never met anyone so nice in his whole life so he wished to do something in return. That is why when I visited him, he immediately gave me the money."
With a simple wish to pay back, Dan Chang endeavors to pass on the love he received.
< Joy and song >
Love is not the only thing Tzu Chi volunteers are bringing to the village; With their arrival, joy also fills the air. A simple song puts smiles on the faces of old and young.
Children gather together to learn sign language for the song "One family". Concentrating on the song, the two boys accidentally bump heads. After a few hours of diligent practice, the youngsters perform the song on stage for their parents.
But they didn't learn the song just for the one performance. Upon volunteers' departure, they start singing it once more.
< An encounter to be remembered >
The words have been imprinted in the villagers' heads, and Tzu Chi's love has been engraved on their hearts. Goodbyes are always hard to take, but this encounter will be forever remembered by both groups.
船還沒靠岸，就傳來敲鑼打鼓的聲音，為了歡迎慈濟志工的到臨，村民甚至在港口跳起舞來。
被氣氛感染，在一旁的小孩們也手舞足蹈，就像是過新年一樣，整個村莊洋溢著喜悅，他們在風災中，沒有得到任何援助，看到慈濟人到來，有如生命出現了一束光線。
礁旦鎮的維基村，住著三百多戶的村民，其中有206戶以種田維生，慈濟志工帶來肥料發放，希望他們自立更生。
等他們的稻米豐收的時候，他們會自己來幫助他們，自己的學校和他們的寺廟。重建自己的家園後，行有餘力再去幫助其他人。
慈濟能夠救大家，我們也應該把這精神留在這裡，學會去幫助別人。
志工無私的付出，與無限的愛深深的感動著其中一位農民。
證嚴上人 慈濟團體的愛心，他這一生真的忘不了這些愛心，他這一生 只遇到過一次。
這是旦昌伯伯要對證嚴上人說的話，寫的信，而信旁邊還有一筆錢，兩萬元緬幣約美金3,640元，這是要捐給慈濟的善款，信和善款，正是代表眼泛淚光的伯伯 訴說他的心意。
風災後，慈濟來幫助我們，讓我們有足夠的肥料，收成一定會很好，那我就可以像證嚴上人，那樣去幫助別人，我把這筆錢捐出來，都是發自內心。
擁有12英畝田地的旦昌，要等農田收成才會有收入，但因為知道志工要來探訪，伯伯拿將來收成後的稻米預借善款，要捐給慈濟。
他說他這一世人，沒有遇過 那麼好的一個人，所以，他一直有一個心願，怎麼去回饋，所以我一進去，他馬上就拿一筆錢出來。
慈濟人帶來的不只是愛，隨著他們的到來，空氣裡也瀰漫著歡樂，一首簡單的歌，讓老老少少個個笑開懷。
小朋友也聚在一起，學習一家人手語，因為太投入，這兩個男孩頭還撞在一起，認真的練習了好幾個小時，大家一起上台表演，讓父母驗收成果。
但學會這首歌不只是為了表演，當慈濟人要離開前，小朋友又唱起了一家人。
歌詞早已記在村民的腦海裡，而慈濟的愛也深印在他們的心上，道別總是有萬般不捨，但是這次的相會，彼此都將永遠記得。

3. 風災志工接力
Typhoon Sinlaku relief work
Typhoon Sinlaku lashed Taiwan this past weekend, causing devastation all over the country. Dealing with collapsed tunnels and bridges, rescuers worked around the clock to provide relief to disaster areas. Among them, Tzu Chi volunteers were mobilized in the worst-hit regions, delivering hot food and emotional comfort to distressed victims.
辛樂克颱風在上個週末，重創台灣，全國災情嚴重，斷橋崩塌的隧道，持續的狂風暴雨，救難者不停歇的在災區展開救援，其中，慈濟志工動員在重災區協助，提供熱食膚慰災民。
< Volunteers provide warmth and comfort >
A timely and caring hug is what survivors need the most. All the way from the hospital to the funeral home Tzu Chi volunteers stay at the side of the bereaved family of patrol guard Dong Zhengbing (蕫振斌) who was buried alive in the collapsed Fengqiuming (豐丘明) tunnel. As Typhoon Sinlaku made its devastating trail through Taiwan, central Taiwan Tzu Chi volunteers mobilized to bring relief to the disaster areas.
On the night of September 15th, Hofeng (后豐) Bridge in Taichung County collapsed. In heavy wind and rain Tzu Chi volunteers set up a service station to provide hot meals to victims. For the next few days, nearly 100 volunteer shifts were carried out each day to prepare approximately 100 lunch boxes for typhoon survivors and reporters in the area.
TTV engineer, Liu Yongquan：
Because we are shy to ask for food, Tzu Chi volunteers come up to us and offer their meals. They always ask if we need seconds and go and make it for us.
< Tzu Chi volunteer documents disaster >
The raw footage captured by Tzu Chi volunteer Liao Raoqin (廖堯琴) reveals the severity of destruction in the worst-hit Lushan hot spring area in central Taiwan. She relayed news from the region by telephone as soon as it happened.
The force of the river is really frightening. The levees haven't been built well.
< Mud slides soiling houses >
In Fengyuan, mud washed down from mountain slopes swept into three houses. For the next two days, more than 50 Tzu Chi volunteers were mobilized to help the affected families clean up the mess.
Tzu Chi volunteer, Zhang Yingjun：
It was already like this when I came.
This will definitely take some time to clean up.
< Delivering help to storm-hit areas >
While volunteers delivered much-needed food and emotional support to desperate victims, Da Ai News reporters and Tzu Chi's documentation volunteers work tirelessly to record on camera and in words every touching moment between the helper and the helped.
Tzu Chi volunteer, Chen Dengshi：
Our volunteer sisters and brothers are committing themselves wholeheartedly.
Bringing comfort to the traumatized disaster victims, Tzu Chi's relief efforts never cease.
一個及時真誠的擁抱，是生還者最需要的，從醫院一路跟隨到殯儀館，慈濟志工 陪伴在巡守員蕫振斌的家屬身旁，蕫振斌在豐丘明隧道遭到活埋，辛樂克颱風過境重創台灣，中區的慈濟志工動員到災區救援。
十五號晚上，台中縣后豐大橋崩裂，在大風大雨中，慈濟人架設服務站，提供熱食香積組志工，天天動員近百人次，準備上百個便當，提供給災民以及當區的記者。
因為我不好意思向人家要東西吃，所以慈濟志工會來問我們要不要吃飯，也會問要不要第二個，他們會去準備。
這個未處理過的畫面，是慈濟志工廖堯琴所拍攝的，畫面看到盧山溫泉區的嚴重災情，她也在第一時間透過電話連線，把災區的消息傳出來。
河水的力量很恐怖，堤防沒有做好。
在豐原，山坡衝下來的泥沙，淹進三棟民宅裏，接下來兩天，慈濟志工動員五十多人，幫助受到影響的家庭整理房子。
剛到的時候 就已經是這樣，會需要一點時間整理。
志工給予災民熱食以及安慰，同時間，大愛台記者與人文真善志工，用心的以鏡頭與文字，紀錄下志工與災民，每一個真情流露的畫面。
看到師兄師姊很用心在做。
膚慰受創的災民，慈濟志工的救援腳步，從不停歇。
4. 宜蘭送物資
Aid relief for Typhoon Sinlaku victims
Yilan(宜蘭) County in particular was severely flooded by Typhoon Sinlaku, . Fortunately, the water has now almost receded, and most of the 130,000 households that experienced power failure have resumed normalcy. Since yesterday, Tzu Chi volunteers started surveying affected areas and preparing hot meals for flood victims.
辛樂克颱風在台灣帶來強風大雨，幸好，積水已經幾乎消退，還有大部份的十三多萬戶停電的狀況，也已恢復正常供電，在昨天，慈濟志工也開始慰問勘災工作，並為災民製作熱食便當。
< 30 percent of vegetables, fruit destroyed >
After three days of flooding, the water has almost receded from these fields, but some are still engulfed by the aftermath of Typhoon Sinlaku. With half of the crops destroyed, more than 30 percent of the vegetables and fruit in Yilan County were obliterated, costing the farming industry a loss of over 3 million US dollars.
< Food packages for Yilan County >
Now that the sky has finally cleared, residents immediately dry all their water-logged furniture in the sun. Volunteers also prepare packages of congee, biscuits, and instant noodles for flood victims.
We are here to help you.
Thank you. Thank you.
< 50 volunteers, over 500 house visits >
50 volunteers, over 500 house visits, a day well-spent. Going door to door in the severely-hit areas of Jiaoxi, Wujie, and Zhuangwei, volunteers make sure every family is safe and cared for.
< Volunteers bring courage and hope >
Seeing the blue and white figures, this old lady spills out her worries of the last few days to these patient listeners.
A simple greeting with timely assistance, volunteers are bringing courage and hope, helping flood victims to return to normalcy as soon as possible.
淹了三天，水終於退的差不多了，但農田裡仍有辛樂克颱風肆虐過的足跡，農作物倒了一大片，宜蘭縣超過三成的葉菜類產地，受到重挫，農業損失超過3百萬美元。
趁著天氣放晴，居民趕緊清出泡水家具，慈濟志工也準備了福慧粥 ，餅乾，泡麵的物資包。
我們來這裡關懷你們，謝謝，謝謝。
五十個志工拜訪五百多戶人家，這是圓滿的一天，一戶一戶的探訪，志工來到受災嚴重的礁溪，五結和壯圍，確認每家都安全及照顧到。
看見藍天白雲的身影，這位老奶奶把這幾天積在心裡的擔憂，一股腦的向有耐心的志工傾訴。
親切的問候加上適時的幫助，志工帶來勇氣和希望，讓災民能更快重回他們生活的步調。
5.(榮董系列)侯福仁
Husband and wife, in service to Tzu Chi
In today's People feature we highlight the efforts of two remarkable volunteers: Hou Furen(侯福仁), and his wife, Yu Xiuqin(余秀琴). Following an unfortunate tragedy, Hou Furen (侯福仁) sought for many years superstitious and magical means to cure his wife of her chronic pain, but in the end was convinced by Master Cheng Yen to devote himself to Tzu Chi.
今天的人物專題中，要帶大家看倆位傑出的志工，侯福仁和他的太太余秀琴，因為不幸的事件發生，侯福仁多年來燒香拜佛，想盡辦法要醫治太太久年之疾，不過，最後因為聽信證嚴上人的規勸，因而投入慈濟行善。
< The pain from which love is born >
Hou Furen's wife, Yu Xiuqin：
When our son was a boy, I was taking him to school on a motor-scooter when a big pot-hole appeared. We were too careless, and it was too late to avoid. I just flew up into the air, came down hard, and my back was broken.
This is the leader of the Zhang-lu roadcrew. They fill in pot-holes, and they're always on call.
Hou Furen's wife, Yu Xiuqin：
One of our Tzu Chi sisters lives in Jiji. She said there's a big pot-hole here. If someone hits it I worry they might take a tumble, and that's our purpose, to worry about people falling. This will fill it, and everything'll be o.k.This is our business card. If you see a place in the road that needs fixing then we'll come out and inspect it. We'll come out, so if we could trouble you for your cooperation, then you have our blessings.
< Taiwan's problems, Taiwan's solution >
In Taiwan's sub-tropical, mountainous climate the roads deteriorate suddenly and rapidly. Often, the trouble-spots go quite a while before being repaired; for those in the know, the solution is to call the Zhang-lu roadcrew. They're experts.
Zhang-lu Roadcrew founder, Hou Furen：
This? Oil and bitumen? The oil you spread like this, but the bitumen you daub, like this. Today we hauled two tons, or one ton, about 90 US dollars. If we have much more we'll need another truck, we'll just need a whole other truck.
Zhang-lu Roadcrew founder, Hou Furen：
Everyone asks me, how much money do you take for the work? I say I've never taken any money. Yeah -- I've got nothing better to do, so ok. I don't take people's money, but if the volunteers want to pay me - eh, sorry, if they feel like it, that's their choice. I won't refuse.
< Donations of labor, donations of love >
This crew is made up entirely of volunteers; they provide free service, and are unconnected to the government. It is Hou's brainchild - his creation, and his ongoing project. Hou and his wife are the mainstays of the group, but they have many helpers.
Volunteer, Liu Wende：
Before, it was he who said we should start mending these roads. I said, O.k! Just give me a call to come and mend the roads, it's interesting and fun.
Volunteer, Gao Qiongzhen：
We all are quite happy, doing this. We don't ask for anything, it's our gift.
Hou Furen's wife, Yu Xiuqin：
Actually, after we've filled them in, it's as if we've given something back to everything. It's not for us. All living things need to feel satisfaction, and we all will be born again, someday.
< An effort that spans decades >
Hou has been active in Tzu Chi since 1985, when he met Master Cheng Yen. It was in that short, early period after he joined that the Zhang-lu roadcrew was born.
< Hou Furen's wife, Yu Xiuqin >
When I went the master asked me, What's wrong? I said I'd eaten ten years of medicine and never got better. The master asked me what if I had eaten more than 20 years - what then?
Zhang-lu Roadcrew founder, Hou Furen：
At that time they were building the nursing school. The master said that my burning all that ghost money was a waste, wouldn't I be happier using it to join Tzu Chi in building a hospital?
< Roadcrew helps patch up Hou's life >
It took several years of volunteering before Hou was able to finally confront his frustrations over his wife's injury; by combining Tzu Chi's service ideal with his desire to set aside this burdensome anger, he came up with the roadcrew. He has never had any regrets.
Zhang-lu Roadcrew founder, Hou Furen：
We are born alone, and our life has limits. One must not constantly consume and never give back. If you only consume for your entire life then you'll become quite miserable. This is what I think. But I've never studied books.
我們兒子還小的時候，我用摩托車載他去學校， 一個大坑洞突然出現，我們太不小心，但要閃也來不及了，我整個人跳起來，重重摔下來，背就受傷了。
這位是彰鹿補路會的負責人，他們填平坑洞而且總是隨叫隨到。
我們有一位慈濟師姐住在集集，她說這裡有凹洞，如果有人踩到怕他們會跌倒，我們的宗旨就是怕人們跌倒，這樣鋪好就不會有問題了，這是我們的名片，如果你看到路需要修理，我們就會來勘查，我們會來 所以要麻煩你，多多合作，祝福你。
台灣亞熱帶多山的氣候，路面破壞快速又突然，常常問題地點，要過一段時間才有人去修，那些知道的人，就會打給彰鹿補路會，他們是專家。
這個，油和瀝青嗎？油像這樣鋪，但瀝青要塗的像這樣，今天我們載了兩噸或一噸，差不多90美元，要是多的話，就要再載一台卡車，就是要再一台。
每個人問我，你這份工作收了多少錢，我說我沒有收錢，真的嗎？我沒其他事好做，所以沒關係，如果我不收別人的錢，不去拿，那如果我不收志工的錢呢？那不好意思，那是他們的心意，我不能拒絕。
補路會全都是志工，他們提供免費的服務，也和政府沒關係，這是侯福仁的構想行動，和正在實行的計畫，侯福仁和太太是這個團體的支柱，但他們有很多幫手。
以前，他叫我們來修路，我說好啊，只要打來我就來修，來修路是很有趣好玩的。
我們都做的很快樂，我們都無所求的付出。
其實，我們補好了，就像是回向給眾生，不是為了自己，眾生需要圓滿，我們總有一天也會重生的。
侯福仁從1985年遇到證嚴上人後，積極參與慈濟，就在他加入後沒多久，成立了彰鹿補路會。
我去的時候，上人問我怎麼了，我說我吃了10年的藥都沒有比較好，上人問我，那如果我多吃20年那時會怎樣。
那時候，他們在蓋護理學校，上人說我燒金紙是浪費，拿來參加慈濟蓋醫院不知有多好。
當了幾年志工後，侯福仁終於能面對太太受傷的挫折，結合慈濟服務的理想，和希望把怒氣放一邊，他創辦了這個補路會，而且從來沒有後悔過。
我們都是一個人出生，生命有限，不能一直消耗不回饋，如果一輩子都在消耗，那就會變得很悲慘，這是我自己的想法，我又沒有讀書。
靜思語
人都因為有一個「我」作中心，才有煩惱，所以要將「我」看淡些。
Worries arise from attachment to "self".
So let go of your "self".
6.洪志成老師
An exemplary volunteer
After the great 1999 earthquake struck Taiwan, Hong Zhichen(洪志成) devoted himself fully as a Tzu Chi volunteer and aid relief coordinator. Upon discovering that he suffered from late-stage liver cancer, Hong requested to donate his useful organs to the needy after passing on. His body was donated for this year's medical simulated operation.
1999年台灣的大地震過後，洪志成成為虔誠的慈濟志工，以及賑災的總協調，當洪志成發現得到了末期肝癌，他希望在往生後將可用的器官捐出他的大體，捐贈給今年的模擬手術。
< Inspiration from hardship >
After Taiwan's great 1999 earthquake Sister Lu Qingyin found her husband ready to serve with Tzu Chi.
This was Hong Zhichen; born into a prosperous family, Hong was particularly sensitive to the difficulties wealthy people face when following Tzu Chi's way. In April of 2001 he became the Mid-Taiwan Coordinator for Honorary Board Members, and his first act was to establish the Rong Dong Recycling Team. By leading the wealthy into service, Hong came to exemplify "The True Riches of Wealth".
Hong Zhichen's Wife, Lu Qingyin：
He thought of many ways, the recycling team was only one. He thought leading by example was enough, that the recycling would help them recognize their own bounties and so bring others benefit.
< A man of many hats >
An honorary board member, a Faith Corps member, and an energetic canvasser, in all things Hong learned how to restrain himself for the sake of others, and set aside his authoritative mien.
Tzu Chi volunteer, Hong Zhichen：
A single act of kindness will break a thousand disasters; in this life, we must embrace all others.
But life ends; in July of 2005 a hospital examination uncovered a massive liver tumor. Sudden and unexpected, no one was prepared; but Brother Hong remained stalwart in his service.
Tzu Chi volunteer, Hong Zhichen：
Tzu Chi was to have a groundbreaking in Aceh and I was often in Indonesia. It was something I was really yearning for.
< Concluding a bounteous life >
And then, on October 3rd, Hong Zhichen passed away. His body was taken to Hualien's Jing Si Abode, and Master Cheng Yen remembered this warm-hearted man.
Master Cheng Yen's Life Wisdom：
Regardless if it was work with charity, hospitals, international relief or education, you shrank from nothing. Yours was a bright, beautiful life, and you may rest at ease. In this life of yours you wanted professorship, and now I may make this wish come true. Return soon, because I need you to carry on the torch.
< Final act of kindness >
At his life's end Hong had accepted a position as Tzu Chi University Medical Department mentor; this led to his decision to give his body over to experimental science, thereby aiding his beloved children and encouraging his close friends.
Tzu Chi volunteer, Hong Zhichen：
You must seize every minute and every second; leave no moment empty. Do not wait until your body is weak before you act; by then it is too late. You must always keep the Master's Buddha Nature alive within your heart.
< A brief, shining light >
Like a brief meteor flashing across the sky, Brother Hong Zhichen abandoned success to unleash his capacity for good, enlightening others with the spiritual beauty found in the heart of Tzu Chi.
1999年九二一大地震過後，呂清音師姐的先生加入了慈濟。
這是洪志成出生於富裕家庭，特別能感受富貴求道難的道理，2001年四月，洪志成承接起中區榮董召集人職務，首先成立榮董環保隊，帶著家境富裕的人服務他人，洪志成是富中之富的好例子。
其實他想很多辦法，環保隊是其中的一個，他想以身作則就可以，從做環保中知道，很多知福惜福造福。
身為榮董慈誠，到處熱心勸募，洪志成學到縮小自己，放下大老闆的身段。
我們一善破千災，這輩子我們要跟大家結緣。
人生無常2005年7月底，洪志成檢查身體時，發現肝臟長了巨大的腫瘤，這來的很突然令所有人措手不及，但洪師兄很鎮定繼續在志業上付出。
慈濟在亞齊的大愛屋要動土了，我常常去印尼，這是我嚮往盼望的。
2005年十月三號，洪志成師兄往生，他的大體回到花蓮靜思精舍，證嚴上人也不捨這位貼心弟子。
不管事慈善志業醫療志業教育志業，你都做到了，而且你國際救災，你的路走得很寬廣很亮麗的人生，你要很安心，你這輩子就是教授沒做到，現在師父開始完成你做教授的心願，你快回來，師父需要你回來接棒。
在人生的最後，洪志成擔任慈大醫學系的慈誠爸爸，之後決定化身大體老師，幫助他最愛的孩子，鼓勵他最親近的朋友。
要把握每一分每一秒，分秒不空過，不要等到身體不行了，才想要做，那就來不及了，要長保佛心。
像流星般墜落，洪志成師兄捨身發揮最大良能，以慈濟精神的美，啟蒙他人。

Solutions to climate challenges
Australians are looking to the sky in the battle against climate change. Roof tops all across the country are turning green as a result of a movement encouraging people to consider the environment.
澳洲人正期待在天空中，找到抗衡氣候變遷的方法，全國的屋頂上一片綠，這都是拜鼓勵國人環境考量之賜。
< Staking out the roof >
Katherine Wilson has turned the roof of her home into a veggie patch. It's green roof technology -- around for some years in Europe, but in Australia it's now becoming more popular as people look for practical solutions to climate change.
凱瑟琳把她家的屋頂變成一片綠油油，這就是綠屋頂科技，近年來的歐式景象，不過在澳洲，現在有多人期待，用這個方式解決氣候變遷的問題。
< Practical, effective, and fun! >
Eminently practical, rooftop gardens are a great help for places where people are heavily concentrated. The City of Toronto, Canada, did one study and found that if just eight percent of urban roofs were covered in plants, temperatures would drop by two degrees throughout the city.
屋頂花園非常可行，對人口聚集的地方有很大的幫助，加拿大的多倫多做過研究，也發現到假設有百分之八的都會屋頂佈滿植物，整個城市的溫度將會下降2度。
Green Roofs Australia is trying to show people that the gardens aren't just for hippies and environmentalists; the not-for-profit organisation has recently launched a promotion campaign for office buildings and homes.
澳洲綠色屋簷，是要讓大家看到，花園不只是給嘻皮和環境學家而已，非營利組織，最近發表一個給建築物和住戶，一項宣導計畫。
Green Roofs Australia, Geoff Wilson：
Australia has enormous potential for green roofs because we're coming very close to the problems of climate change. We've seen many of the problems which that have been forecast, but the real problems are still ahead of us in 5-10 years, and green roofs can start to make an impact on many factors of climate change, reducing our energy needs, with cooling of buildings, reducing our storm water problems, reducing our urban island heat problems.
澳洲有很多綠化屋簷的潛能，因為我們離氣候變遷的問題很近，我們已經看過許多氣象預報的問題，不過真正的問題。是在我們未來的5到10年內，以及綠屋簷可以對抗氣候變遷的許多因素，降低能源需求，還能讓建築物降溫，降低我們暴風雨的問題，及都會高溫的問題。
< Changing entrenched perspectives >
The main challenge is the perception that rooftop gardens are difficult to manage; but one company, Fytogreen, is already helping with that. Fytogreen has developed special environmentally sustainable and biodegradable technology that can help grow plants on all angles of rooftops and walls, and is researching which plants are the easiest and most effective to grow. Their efforts are attracting attention.
主要的挑戰，是屋頂花園難以管理的觀念，不過 Fytogreen節能公司，正在協助解決這個問題，Fytogreen節能公司已經發展出，能在屋頂和牆壁的各個角落種植植物的永續生長環境，和生物分解科技，也在研究哪一種最容易，和最快速成長的植物，他們的努力吸引大家的注意。
Fytogreen Australia, Stuart Tyler：
Two years ago I was talking to architects and landscape designers about environmentally sustainable design, they thought I had two heads. Now everyone is making that the focus of their business plans and developers and architects are all looking for environmental sustainable design in their building construction projects.
2年前，我和建築師和設計師研究，關於環境永續設計，他們認為我想太多，現在每個人都著重企業植物，和開發家以及建築師，都在尋求環境永續設計，應用在建築計畫中。
So -- keep these gardens in mind for when the days heat up.
因此，讓這樣的花園深植你心中，以備暖化的一天而用。
