• 每一次event的意義，不僅僅是一個活動，希望是合和互協、戒慎虔誠的一個法會。即將來臨的3/19/2011慈濟健康日，同樣地也需要您來響應茹素。
感恩Jeff師兄created a pledge form,誠摯邀請您發願茹素。也許您已長素，也許您才發過願… 還是請您撥出五秒鐘再次發願。因為每次的願力在虛空中必有迴響，每次的願力也會像一波一波的潮水般帶動前進。 請使用以下連結發願茹素。http://malden2011.tzuchiboston.org/
We hope each event is not just a passing activity, but an religious event that means harmony, helping hand, being prudent and humbly pious. For the upcoming Tzu Chi Health Day, we are hoping that you will answer the call to go on a vegetarian diet.
Thanks to Brother Jeff who created a pledge form. We sincerely invite you to pledge to a vegetarian diet. If you are already a vegetarian, or you have just made the pledge, we still hope you can spare 5 seconds and make a pledge again. It’s because every pledge will make its echo in space, and waves of pledge will carry forward like waves of tides. Please use the link under to make the pledge. http://malden2011.tzuchiboston.org/

證嚴上人的叮嚀與靜思語 Master Cheng Yen’s Teaching and Jing-Si Aphorisms:
• 我們最大的敵人不是別人，而是自己。
Our greatest enemy is probably not others, but ourselves.
• 要比誰更愛誰，不要比誰更怕誰。
Let us compete with who is more loving, not with who is more feared.
• 為自己找藉口的人永遠不會進步。
We can never improve if we always make excuses for ourselves.
