親愛的家長、老師與同學們 Dear Parents, Teachers, and Students:
六月六日上午10:30，駐波士頓台北經濟文化辦事處黃秘書將在餐廳為僑民說明與解答中華民國護照及臺灣簽證事項。
6/6/2010 10：30am, Secretary Mr. Huang from Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Boston will hold an information session in cafeteria and answer your questions regarding ROC passport and visa applications.
六十六年前的今天(D-Day)，近二十萬的聯軍官兵渡過英倫海峽反攻納粹德國，由於他們勇敢與犧牲，獲得最後的勝利，我們才能享有今天的和平與繁榮。讓我們感恩他們的奉獻，也牢記戰爭的殘酷，希望絕不要再重蹈覆轍。
Sixty-six years ago today (D-Day), almost 200,000 allied soldiers crossed the English Channel to assault Nazi Germany. Because of their bravery and sacrifice, we eventually won the war and can subsequently enjoy the prosperity and peace today. Let us commend their contribution, remember the cruelty of the war, and vow never to repeat the mistake again。

證嚴上人的叮嚀與靜思語 Master Cheng Yen’s Teaching and Jing-Si Aphorisms:
• 理想要放在遠方，腳步要落實現在。
A vision no matter how grand still requires immediate action to be realized.
• 我們在人生道上一定要有智慧、毅力和果斷力。信仰，一定要選擇正信；假如一時茫然誤入迷信之途，了解真相後就要及時回頭，不用害怕，因為正信才是最正確可靠的教育！
Wisdom, patience, and determination are the essentials for us to navigate our lives. Only faith but not superstition can guide us to the truth and enlightenment. Therefore, we should be careful in choosing our belief and not be afraid of amending it.
• 真有那份透澈人生的覺有情，就不會與人計較。
One who has truly achieved enlightenment will not enter conflict and quarrel with others.
• 既然人生如戲，何不扮演一個人見人歡喜的角色。
If our lives are indeed just part of a drama, why do not we play roles others adore?
• 心地種下怎樣的種子，就會得到怎樣的收穫。所以，自己要做何事，自己要很清楚。
You could only harvest what you have planted. Therefore, we should be conscious of our action at all time.
• 我們的心量與愛，必須包容天地萬物、一切生靈。
True love and compassion should include accommodation of all live forms in the world.
• 人事圓融，了無牽掛；隨順因緣，死時無懼，就是真正的了生脫死。
If we maintain harmony with people and environment, show no greed, cherish all opportunities, and have no fear to death, we then have indeed reached enlightenment.
• 做人最重要的是精進不懈，好好珍惜因緣，行善造福；若不好好把握善緣，因緣失去了，惡緣就隨著現前。
The most important tasks in our lifetime are to constantly improve ourselves, cherish every opportunity and perform good deeds. If we do not, we will eventually lose our karma and commit sins.
• 所謂超越凡夫心，即是彼此要相互關懷疼惜，不要隨境轉而退道心。
Do not let egocentricity and selfishness prevent us from expressing compassion toward each other. Adversary and difficulties should not derail our quest of enlightenment.
