Dear Friends,
Spring has once again come to us all, and a feeling of vitality fills the air. It's a season of sprouting and growth for all living beings and the moist soil of early spring is the perfect time to plant trees! The Earth has already suffered enormous damage. Global warming has become increasingly serious in recent years. Natural disasters are occurring with increasing frequency. The task of saving Mother Earth demands immediate action from the entire world. Following the ideas of Master Cheng Yen, the Boston Service Centre continues to carry out the work of Tzu Chi's Four Missions and put into practice environmental awareness and reduction of carbon emissions. As a citizen of the world, it is the duty of each one of us to help keep up the planet upon which we depend. In light of this, Tzu Chi Boston invites the community to a Tree-Planting Day event on Saturday, April 30.
Everyone is invited to join -- we can use all the help we can get. Please help us bring our hearts and hands together to plant trees of compassion for the future of the Earth!

證嚴上人的叮嚀與靜思語 Master Cheng Yen’s Teaching and Jing-Si Aphorisms:
- 不辭勞苦的付出便是「大慈悲」。
Not counting the effort one puts out is "great compassion".
- 付出勞力服務，又服務得很歡喜便叫做「喜捨」。
To give one's labor and service happily is more than "joyous giving".
- 傷在他身，痛在我心。
The injury is on their bodies, the pain is in my heart.
