證嚴上人的叮嚀與靜思語 Master Cheng Yen’s Teaching and Jing-Si Aphorisms:

• 不論人間事多麼複雜,只要心寬闊,就能包容天地、包容人間事。

No matter how complex relationships are, people can accommodate others and navigate obstacles safely and smoothly as long as he/she keeps a fair and open mind.

• 人間好事不是一個人能成就的,需要無數人一起來成就,所以要抱持單純心念,你來幫我、我來幫你,你牽著我、我牽著你;大家手牽著手,相互接力,共同成就天下好事。

Good deeds can only be achieved through the collaboration of many individuals. As long as everyone is willing to work together, there will be no limit to what we can achieve.

• 普天之下,沒有我不愛的人、沒有我不信任的人,也沒有我不原諒的人。

In this world, there is no one I do not love, no one I do not trust, and no one I cannot forgive.

o 勤洗手、打噴嚏時一定遮住口鼻(慈院醫師建議)

Avoid crowded spaces and busy locations. Consult a doctor immediately if you have any cold or flu symptoms.

Wash your hands with soap or hand sanitizer frequently. Cover your mouth and nose with your sleeve whenever you sneeze or cough.

• 靜思語: 心被煩惱綁住,必須自己來解,自己不解開煩惱結,就是佛在面前也無能為力

Even Buddha can not help you if you do not have the will to resolve your worries and troubles.

學校簡介About TCA



人文學校歷史


教育是慈濟四大志業之一, 為落實慈濟海外教育志業, 波士頓慈濟聯絡處成立之後, 即於1998年舉辦慈濟人文學校, 致力於傳授中華語文, 傳承中華文化及學子善良本能的啟發。

  • 1998年於Malden成立分校
  • 2001年於Concord成立分校
  • 2003年於Bedford合併兩分校

人文學校理念


慈濟人文學校不僅著重中文的學習, 更用心培養孩子擁有正確的生活倫理與道德觀念, 透過「慈悲喜捨, 誠正信實」的校訓, 傳達給孩子的是一個無私、慈善、剛正、力行的人生觀, 我們更運用靜思語教學, 期待在孩子心田中撒下善良的種子。靜思語是慈濟創辦者證嚴上人的話語摘錄, 是待人處世寶貴的道理, 讓孩子從日常生活中點滴養成孝順、知足、感恩、善解等利人利己的美德。


未來目標


慈濟人文學校以「慈悲喜捨, 誠正信實」的教學理念, 將生活倫理與中西文化融合在一起, 運用活潑有趣的靜思語教學方式, 不但教導孩子在生活中運用中文, 而且激發孩子本身的良知良能, 使我們的下一代, 更有能力應付多元化的生活挑戰。 未來更規劃帶領孩子走入社區服務, 養成悲心助人的情操, 並透過靜思語教學, 將大愛與感恩的清流匯入孩子的心靈, 期待為社會種下更多的善苗。 慈濟人文學校是個充滿愛與希望的大家庭, 是老師、父母、志工及孩子一起創造愛的教育的好地方, 竭誠邀約您加入我們的行列, 共同教育出自愛、愛人、 敦品勵學的下一代而努力!



History


The Tzu Chi Academy, Massachusetts was founded in 1998 by Tzu Chi Foundation Boston Office. Dharma Master Cheng Yen in Taiwan founded Tzu Chi in 1966. With its four major missions of Charity, Medicine, Education, and Culture, the foundation has built hospitals, schools, and helped millions of people in times of need in over 19 countries. To fulfill its mission of Education, the Tzu Chi Boston established the Tzu Chi Academy to teach Chinese language, promote Chinese culture and nurture the students' good characters. After establishing its first school in Malden in 1998, the Academy opened a second school in Concord in 2001. In 2003, the two schools were merged and the school is currently located at Bedford High School.


Teaching Philosophies


The Academy teaching principles emphasize mercy, compassion, joy, giving, honesty and integrity. The curriculum combines the language education with the learning of life ethics. Through the teaching of Still Thoughts*, we strive to instill civility and morality in students as well as pass on to them a selfless, kind, just and active perspectives on life. The students also learn respect for parents, self-content, thankfulness and understanding from these teachings. *Still Thoughts are excerpts of the inspirational teachings by Master Cheng Yen.


Vision


Our vision is to integrate the teaching of life ethics with eastern and western cultures. Through the teaching of Still Thoughts, we not only give the children the ability to use Chinese in their daily lives, but also foster the kindness in them and prepare them to face the challenges in a multi-faceted society. We plan to introduce students to community services, nurture their sense of humanity, love and appreciation and prepare them to become useful members of society.
