人�菩提--生命毫芒�青史
 

 

Nowadays, we see news reports

(using frightening and alarming terms to)

(report events that are of public concern,)

such as the "finance crisis"

or the "tainted milk" issue.

These reports are truly nerve-racking and worrying

Fortunately, there is our Da Ai TV which reports these events from a different angle

Lately, Da Ai Tv has received or been nominated for several awards.

As I always say, receiving awards or not is not important.

What matters most is that we must take firm steps and head towards the right direction.

When we know what we're doing is right, we must persist in doing it.

Then one day people will be able to understand and know to tell right from wrong.

We see that Da Ai TV has done a good job in guiding people to have correct understanding because their reports are true and conscientious.

I am very grateful to our staff at Da Ai TV for their many years of hard work and for coming to Da Ai TV despite people's opinions about our TV station:

"Da Ai TV programs are too serious"

"Nobody nowadays"

"likes to watch serious programs like that"

"Those programs are not popular art all"

That was what many people said many years ago.

They didn't think Da Ai TV would survive.

Fortunately, there is a group of people who share the same ideal and sense of mission.

They contribute their knowledge of communications to producing wholesome programs which serve to purity people's minds like a stream of purity.

They do their reporting with conscience and integrity to guide people onto the right path.

That is the true mission of the media.

By no means should we make reports that would lead people astray or bring panic and anxiety to people.

The media is like the sea.

The sea can bear the ship or capsize it.

Today's society is filled with turmoil and delusion with people's greed acting like the strong wind on the sea that would make big waves (to capsize a ship)

In the face of strong wind and waves on the sea how to navigate the ship so that it can sail across the sea safely all depends on the ship captain in our society, this ship captain is media workers.

With the Dharma, we can help the public.

We must abide by the Dharma.

The Dharma is like a sturdy ship.

With such a ship we'll be able to sail across the sea safely and carry people over to the other shore.

For example, lately though Da Ai TV has also reported on the issue of milk tainted with melamine, we try to ease people's minds.

Upon hearing reports about it form other channels, some people got worried:

"What shall I do? I've eaten it" or "My children have consumed it"

Everyone would feel very anxious.

But our news reporters will explain to viewers

How much melamine is contained in one cup of contaminated milk and how much you'd have to drink for it to be harmful to your health.

But if you drink lots of water

(the harm to your health would be minimal)

So there's no need to panic.

If people have already consumed the contaminated products what good would being worried do?

From now no, just be careful what you eat and put the worries aside.

That way the whole of society won't be in a state of panic and anxiety.

Tzu Chi has been continually promoting a healthy diet.

But people haven't paid particular attention to taking care of themselves.

Also, we have been promoting breast-feeding for a long time.

If you breast-feed, you wouldn't have to worry about how much tainted milk your baby consumed.

The milk from a mother is the most nutritious and contains the most antibodies.

In times like this, we really need the media to

(clarity the issues in such a way)

(that enables people to)

Look at the situation with calm and equanimity.

Only when people are calm and equanimous can society have peace and harmony.

In February of this year, a group of media workers from the U.S. came to Taiwan for a visit.

They also visited Da Ai TV

(and where very impressed by our work)

They feel that all around the world, they have really seen a TV station that reports the news.

(with such high journalistic standards and ethics)

(faithfully promoting public enlightenment)

(and helping to promote calm and stability)

They were truly very impressed and spoke very highly of Da Ai TV.

Taiwan's Government information Office also affirms the work we do and that is why many of Da Ai TV's programs have received awards from the government.

It truly makes us very happy.

So, I am very grateful to every one of our staff at Da Ai TV for working so diligently to purify people's hearts and minds.

Be it producing programs or reporting news, they all work toward the same goal.

There are also our volunteer bodhisattvas.

But it photographing or videotaping aren't they capturing precious moments in history?

(They record every touching image)

so that it can leave a legacy.

This is the work our documenting volunteers do.

Take this Mr. Huang for example.

He dedicates all of himself to Tzu Chi 

(It's like every cell of his body)

(is filled with Tzu Chi)

He often heard me talk about the importance of recording Tzu Chi events and the stories of Tzu Chi volunteers so that they can be kept in our sutra treasury.

And so, he began dedicating himself to serving as a documenting volunteer (five years ago)

He started learning about videotaping at the age of 65.

He is also able to edit the footage himself.

He follows our volunteers very closely to record everything they do.

Whether it is visiting care recipients caring for patients in our hospitals or providing free medical care in remote areas.

He has recorded them all.

See how he is able to record the most genuine, touching moments of life with his video camera.

(so that others can also see and)

(learn from these exemplars of character)

Of course, I am also very grateful to our staff at our cultural center.

Without their dedication to working towards this mission which started out as a lonely path how can we possibly be where we are today?

Now, every year we see our cultural work being affirmed as we receive many awards each year.

There are truly many touching stories to share.

Everyone, in working to inspire people you really must encourage them to watch Da Ai TV.

If they watch it every day, it will have

(a positive influence on them)

Then it'll truly help to settle the minds of people in society and guide them toward the right direction.

So, every one of you volunteer bodhisattvas we must inspire people with the Dharma.

There is no way we can be by their side every day but they can tune in to Da Ai TV at any time where every program can purify their hearts and minds.

So, everyone, please be more mindful.

(and encourage people to watch Da Ai TV)

�真�正秉�信

�牢舟船行正法
生命毫芒�青史

每天透�大���、看天下真善美的故事,而全球影�志工,就是��故事的�演。在台�的苗栗,有一位七十�的影�志工��景拿著�影�,人生七十才�始,上山下海都�不倒他。��上人在今天的志工早�,就��影�志工的用心���,上人也再次提到媒��真�善的重要性。

近年�,大�台的�目及新��容,以清新的�格,���多��的肯定,真�、深入的�作�念和��真善美的�材;透�媒��播,��一股清流,�入社��化人心,也向世人宣�人文典�。

��上人�示:「�真�正,�才是真正�播的使命,不要�人�方向偏差,不要�人�心���不安,所以媒�就如大海中的海水一�,水能�舟也能覆舟。」

感人的故事,除了有大�台同仁的��之外,�有�多人文真善美志工的�持。就像苗栗的慈�志工��景即使已�70�了,但仍然上山下海,用�影�拍下真善美的足�,��慈�的大藏�;不�把握良能,也提升了生命的�值。

��上人�示:「看,��的��,�不都是��人性毫芒中的光芒,最��的光芒,都��在���,真正的�法入心中。」

透���的��,化�那�永�;而真善美的�播,才是社�中、最能�化人心的清流。
