親愛的家長、老師與同學們 Dear Parents, Teachers, and Students:
今年三月十一日的華爾街日報，以"臺灣慈善組織影響遍及全球”為題，對慈濟在世界各地從事的慈善事業作了專題報導。全文摘要在此以附件與各位分享。
On March 11th 2010, Wall Street Journal published an article about Tzu-Chi titled ‘Taiwan Charity Has Global Reach’. The article gave a brief description of Tzu Chi’s activity all over the world. We would like to share the article with you (please check the attachment).
波士頓慈濟前往海地賑災服務的師兄姐們，已圓滿達成任務平安回到波士頓。四月十日學校將安排人文講座邀請他們與家長志工們一同分享心得。歡迎家長志工們踴躍參加。感恩您!

食神“IRON CHEF”挑戰已於三月二十七日園滿結束。慈青隊與志工隊經過激烈的競爭後，才由慈青隊驚險勝出。慈少同學們也準備了三道美味可口的甜點與飲料供大家享用。食神挑戰主要目的是讓大眾瞭解素食對個人健康和環境保護的好處。部份活動照片在此與大家分享(見附件)。修訂完成後參賽食譜也會提供給大家參考，歡迎一起共襄盛舉。感恩！
The IRON CHEF contest reached conclusion splendidly on 3/27/10. After fierce competition, Tzu-Ching team only narrowly edged out the SG/SB team. Tzu-Shao members also prepared three delicious desserts for all the attendees. The main objective of this contest was to advocate the benefits of vegetarian diet to our health and environment. Some of the pictures during the contest are attached here to share with you (see the attachment). The recipes will be organized and made available to everyone. Thank you!

證嚴上人的叮嚀與靜思語 Master Cheng Yen’s Teaching and Jing-Si Aphorisms:
• 以歡喜心面對所感受的境界，培養善解的心，就不易被境界誘導而好發脾氣。
If we learn to deal with compassion and love, we will not be annoyed and angry easily.
• 過去所有人我是非的煩惱，此時要放下、除去，趕快建立新觀念，就是「簡單就好」。
Let all the past conflicts and troubles go. Start from fresh and remember simple is the virtue.
• 以簡單的道理與人相處，日子就會很好過。若太複雜，就會惹來滿心煩惱。
It is better off to deal interpersonal relationship and conflicts with simple rules. Over complication and suspicion usually just generate additional troubles or conflicts.
• 煩惱並非出在別人身上，而是在自己的心；煩惱從心起，也要從心消除。
Troubles could not be caused by others but our own making. Therefore, it is up to us to eliminate the troubles.
• 大家都應居安思危，好好地珍惜每一滴水，莫輕視一己的力量，每個人付出一點，相信這個世界就會變得美好。
We should be always prepared for environmental disaster and carefully preserve every drop of water. Do not underestimate our own power to protect the environment. If everyone willingly contributes just a little, the world will soon become a much better place.

證嚴上人的叮嚀與靜思語 Master Cheng Yen’s Teaching and Jing-Si Aphorisms:
• 人們常要求別人要對自己好，順自己的意；否則就埋怨、氣憤，拿別人的錯誤來懲罰
自己，這就是煩惱的來源。
We often take goodwill from others for granted and demand others to accept our wishes. When our demands are ignored or rejected, we often turn angry, frustrated, and self-pitying. This is exactly the sources of our troubles.
• 人生要「現實」才好──「現實」的真正意義，是不要幻想太多，要注重活生生的現
在，去做實在的事。
We had better recognize and accept the reality in our life. To do so, we should stop daydreaming and focus our energy to something concrete and achievable.
• 內心若不調和，身體行動就不會和氣，待人接物時就易發生衝突。
If we could not control our emotion, our demeanor will become unsettled thus resulting in more conflicts with others.
• 人生無常，要把握時間，用心於自己的言行舉止。
Life is ever changing. We must seize the time to improve our demeanor.
• 許多研究氣候、天災的國際學者，紛紛提倡 素食 ，清淡的飲食不但有助於健康，還能減緩溫室氣體的增加，對大地、氣候都有幫助。
Many internationally renowned climate researches are promoting vegetarian diet. Such diet is not only beneficial to our health but also reduce emission of green house gases.

證嚴上人的叮嚀與靜思語 Master Cheng Yen’s Teaching and Jing-Si Aphorisms:
• 要擁有很可愛的人生，就要自己先去愛人。
If you want to have a wonderful life, you should begin to love others and make other’s life wonderful first.
• 但是只要大家不斷地培養愛心，積善之家有餘慶，家家積善，社會才能祥和。
We should constantly cultivate our empathy and compassion toward others. A society could only reach peaceful and harmony if every family celebrates charity.
• 時時與人結好緣，任何時候都要讓人起歡喜心。
We should maintain a gentle relationship with others and always make others comfortable in our presence.
• 應常自省在歡樂情境中，心念、言行是否正確？應學習在動中不礙內心虔誠的靜。
We should constantly remind ourselves about our intentions and behavior especially in the celebrated moments. We have to maintain a peaceful mind even our surrounding are in turmoil.
