慈济新年祈福

周日我有幸参加慈济基金会位于博士山所举行的新年祈福活动。

在世界许多不同的地方，都可看见慈济志工的影子，

他们在自然受灾区协助恢復重建，提供紧急救援。

 

在许多较弱势的国家或地区，慈济义工们会提供医疗和牙科护理，

对于难民社区，慈济会提供教育等其他协助。

慈济亦鼓励资源回收和环境清理，推广永续健康的生活方式。

慈济所做的点点滴滴，蕴含着佛教文化中对人类的慈悲与关爱。

 

慈济的义工居住遍布墨尔本，他们提供牙科护理、

学校营养早餐、课后辅导、访问老人院与公园和自然保护区的垃圾清理。

Tzu Chi welcome the New Year

 

On Sunday, I was privileged to attend a New Year Blessing Ceremony held by the Tzu Chi Foundation in Box Hill.

 

Tzu Chi’s volunteers provide emergency relief, and help with recovery and rebuilding after natural disasters, in many different parts of the world.

 

Volunteers also give medical and dental care in disadvantaged countries and regions, provide education and other support in refugee communities, promote recycling and environmental clean-ups, and encourage sustainable and healthy lifestyles.  Their work is inspired by compassion and care for all human beings, in the Buddhist tradition.

 

Tzu Chi has many volunteers living across Melbourne, who help with programs including dental services, school breakfasts and after-school care, nursing home visits and rubbish clean-ups from parks and nature reserves.
