人間菩提--為苦難打造希望 
Giving People a Brighter Future in Indonesia
天災層出衍苦難
愛灑印尼安身心
悲智相運人間路
涓滴善湧築希望
見苦知福,證嚴上人常常勉勵大家,要用感恩心過日子。在印尼,慈濟人深耕將近十五年,在這個貧富懸殊如此大的國家,志工的任務,從長期的扶困到臨時的急難關懷,像是最近在印尼西爪哇的萬榮,發生土石流災情,志工立刻就近前往發放,證嚴上人感恩,印尼慈濟人善的導引,啟發更多人心中的感恩與良善。
因為沒有做好水土保持,一陣大雨,讓印尼西爪哇位於山區的芝安朱爾縣部分區域出現山崩,上千位居民無家可歸,放眼可見的滾滾洪流與泥濘道路,都無法阻礙慈濟人藍天白雲的身影。
擔起天下人的苦難,慈濟人更要接引出更多人間菩薩。來到印尼的大愛一村,脫離原本髒亂生活,身心安定的村民,現在跟著志工一起訪貧,見苦知福,學會付出,每個月累積點滴善念,要積小錢行大善。
一念善心,讓慈濟人的慈悲足跡踏遍全球66個國家,匯聚起每位人間菩薩的心力,就有千手千眼,共同打造人間淨土。
證嚴法師開示內容
天下災難偏多,看到了哥倫比亞火山爆發,泥漿一直往下流,也是毀掉了陸地,橋樑也斷了,村莊也被埋了,這種火山爆發,真的實在是看了,也很令人驚心動魄。
There are so many disasters in the world. We see that in Colombia, a volcano has erupted causing avalanches of mud and ash which destroyed villages and bridges. Such a volcanic eruption and the devastation it brings is truly terrifying to witness.
看到了在印尼的土石流,土石流那就是因為下大雨,水土沒有保持,濫砍伐,所以會造成了土石流,土石流也是造成了很大的災難。所以慈濟人,他們也趕快到收容所,及時發放,這都是在印尼。
We also see the landslide in Indonesia. There had been heavy rain. Because of poor soil conservation practices and excessive deforestation, landslides happened. The landslides caused serious devastation. Tzu Chi volunteers quickly went to shelters to give out aid. This is in Indonesia.
還看到了,昨天印尼又傳了地震,所以,每天都可以看到了,天下災難偏多。哪裡有災難就要及時,藍天白雲出現,不管在哪一個國家,不管在哪一個地區,藍天白雲出現,就是災民最有依靠的,能感受到了最溫馨的,這都是很感恩的慈濟人。這種的悲智相運,無不都是慈濟人的愛。
We also see that yesterday, an earthquake struck off of Indonesia's coast. So, every day, we can witness disasters happening all around the world. When there are disasters Tzu Chi volunteers close by will provide aid. No matter what country it is or what region it is when Tzu Chi volunteers arrive on the scene they are the greater support to victims and they warm the victims' hearts. I am very grateful to Tzu Chi volunteers for this. They exercise both compassion and wisdom. Such is Tzu Chi people's love.
印尼十幾年來,從幾位的婦女開始,從小善開始,一直一直有社會企業家投入了,就成為大善。
Tzu Chi Indonesia started over a decade ago with a group of housewives who began charity work. Over the years, local entrepreneurs started to support Tzu Chi making larger-scale projects possible.
一直到了二00二年的,紅溪河大淹水,因為這個因緣,引起了我們匯聚很大的力量,動員了當地的企業家也投入;很大規模的,發揮愛的精神,先安下了大家的身。
Then, in 2002 serious flooding by the banks of the Angke River was the circumstance that prompted Tzu Chi to launch a large-scale disaster relief effort which mobilized many local entrepreneurs to help.
所以大愛一村,完成了一千一百戶,全套的、所需要的,居住品質、信仰、還有教育、還有醫療,都集中在這個大愛一村,開始改變了他們的生活。
The project first involved housing and the first Great Love Estate was built with housing for over 1,000 families. The housing complex provided for all of the residents' needs. Besides housing it included a mosque, a school, and a polyclinic. It really changed the people's lives.
二OO四年,因為第二村是漁村,這個漁村也都很髒、很亂,所以省長也提出了,期待慈濟人幫忙,再改造這個漁村。所以,這第二村也五百多戶,也建設起來。
In 2004, we started constructing the second housing complex for the residents of a fishing village. This fishing village was rather run-down. So, the provincial governor of Jakarta asked Tzu Chi if we could build housing for these villagers. So, we built around 500 houses for the villagers.
在雅加達,接下來,二OO四年大海嘯,慈濟人也全力投入,在大亞齊規劃三個大愛村,同時也蓋起了學校,所以孩子同樣也有學校讀,家庭也可以有健全的家庭生活。
These are the estates we built in Jakarta. December 2004 was the Indian Ocean Earthquake and Asia Tsunami. Tzu Chi volunteers devoted their efforts to help the disaster victims. In Aceh Province, Tzu Chi built three Great Love villages as well as schools so that the children can receive an education and the family can have a well-grounded family life.
所以,三個慈濟村,一共二千七百戶完成,凡是建設起來的村莊,總是很亮麗,安助了他們每一家的生活。
The three villages contain houses for 2,700 families. The villages that we've built for them are very beautiful and enable them to have a well-settled life.
不只是安身的地方,還有安生活的品質,還有教育的希望,這都是慈濟人,為他們改造的生活。
We didn't only give them a home to live in but also raised their quality of life and gave them a brighter future through education. These were the things that Tzu Chi volunteer did to help improve the people's lives.
目前,郭居士他們,現在進行中的是,政府跟慈濟合作的,希望在雅加達附近開始做起,讓那一些窮困人,破爛的地方能改造。
Currently, our volunteer, Mr.Kusuma and others are spearheading a project that involves collaboration with the government to help the poor starting with those who live in Jakarta. They are giving the poor new and better homes.
所以,慈濟人跟政府來合作,要求政府先整地,把土地整好,慈濟人幫他們蓋房屋;蓋了房屋,政府還要讓他們開店。所以,這樣的規劃也已經,有好幾百戶慢慢的建築完成了。當然,這樣的工程還在進行中,看了真的很感動。
So, Tzu Chi and the government are working together on this project. The Jakarta government is responsible for setting up the public utilities which Tzu Chi is providing the resources for the construction. After the houses are completed, the government will also help some residents to start their own business. To date, more than 100 houses have been completed and the project is still ongoing. It is very touching to see what they are doing.
的確,我們濟貧,讓他有安定生活,開始就要教富,期待人人能有這一分愛心。
Indeed, we helped them and enabled them to lead a stable life. After that, we began to guide them in hopes that they too can have love for others.
所以從第一村、第二村開始,引導進來的志工,要去做訪貧的時候,他們也帶這一群志工出去,這一群志工感覺到說:「自己很有福,小小的錢,也可以救很多人。」所以,也開始引導他們做會員。
So, residents of the first and second estates started serving as volunteers. When Tzu Chi members went to visit the poor, they brought these residents along. Through this experience, these residents felt that they were very blessed and knew that small donations could help many people. So, they also started inspiring others to contribute what they can.
印尼慈濟志工思麗師姐:「我非常感動,她已經八十多歲了,還是精力充沛,也很積極的行善,她也願意減少吃檳榔,甚至吃飯的時候,沒有菜餚也沒關係,最重要的是行善。」
"I am very to touched because she is in her eighties already, but she is still very active and really wants to do good. To have money to donate and help others. she's willing to eat less betel nuts and even eat simpler meals. She says that helping others is most important."
要讓他們點滴匯聚,給他們有一個做好事的機會,會員一個月一千盾印尼盾,就是台幣三元,也可以。
We want them to have the chance to do good, so we encourage them that they can still make a small donation. Even if they can only donate less than US$0.10 that is still good.
後村居民馬娃爾女士:「我每次都很樂意捐贈給慈濟,因為我知道那些錢,是用來援助受災人,比如地震或水災災民。」
"I'm always very willing to donate to Tzu Chi. because I know that the money will be used to help people who are suffering from disasters."
後村居民威威恩女士:「在我看來,這些錢可以用來幫助別人。」
"I want to donate because this money can be used to help others."
所以他們都知道小小點滴,哪怕是露水,點滴匯合起來,也可以幫助別人,他們也想到,也許我所接受到的,都是這樣點滴點滴而來的。
They know that small contributions no matter how tiny can help others if pooled together. They also think that the aid they received also came from small donations such as these.
所以竹筒歲月的精神,真的很不錯,讓他們被救的人也可以救人,小小的點滴,也可以潤濕了大地,讓大地萬物能繁榮起來,所以我們還是要,運用這樣的精神。
This concept of pooling together small donations is really wonderful because then, even the poor can help others, too. These small donations are like droplets of water that can still nourish the land and enable everything on the land to thrive and flourish. So, we should really do this.
雅加達法屋齊省長:「正如慈濟創辦,證嚴法師的心願,上人說,五百個人合起來,就是一尊千手千眼觀世音菩薩,這樣世界就沒有辦不到的事。」
Just like Dharma Master Cheng Yen has said if you put 500 people together, you will have one Bodhisattva with a Thousand Eyes and Hands. Then, there won't be anything we can't achieve.
對,沒錯,你願意伸出了一手開始,不就是千手、萬手、萬萬手,同時伸出來扶助了無數人。看到了印尼,他們在付出,他們在成就,可以讓社會祥和,所以社會祥和,都是因為人人一念愛心,用愛付出。
That's right. It all starts with one person reaching out. Then, you will start to have thousand of hands reaching out to help others. Then, many people can be helped. We see that in Indonesia while helping the poor, they are also contributing to their society's peace and harmony. So, peace and harmony in society come from people having love in their hearts and reaching out to help others.
各位,不要輕視,自己一點滴的善念,所以,集中了善念,我們就可以兩個肩膀,就挑起了如來的家業,挑起了慈濟的精神,胸前掛起了自己的氣質,看,這樣的菩薩形象,不都是現前在人間嗎?人間的淨土離我們不遠,現在就是。
Everyone, please do not think that your good thought is but tiny and insignificant. If everyone has good thoughts and joins together we can then shoulder the Buddha's mission as well as uphold Tzu Chi's spirit and conduct ourselves with proper deportment. With that, aren't we manifesting the way of Bodhisattvas in this world? The pureland is not something out of reach. It is right here, right now.
