In today's message, calls upon everyone to nurture and for all of Earth's creatures: "Concerns for our own life should begin with respecting the lives of all living beings; by resisting a moment's craving for meat, we can preserve our health in the long run." Indeed, let's always strive to nurture our compassionate nature, and nourish for ourselves as well as for others. tzuchi.us/teachings

Welcome to all persons interested in learning about Buddhism, and compassion ...with a dose of multicultural encounter thrown in the mix! The Tucson chapter of the Tzu Chi Foundation (an international non profit focused on disaster relief and other forms of compasionate outreach and service) will be offering free online Sunday morning sessions starting March 7, 2021 (10:00 to 11:00 AM, Arizona time). Each week these virtual sessions will feature a short, guided meditation (in English), then a brief video about what's up with Tzu Chi recently (in Chinese with English subtitles), and finally a reading from "What the Buddha Taught" followed by discussion about the reading (the reading will be aloud in English with the text on-screen in Chinese). All that in one hour? Yes indeed!

There is no commitment or requirement for participation - just drop in and visit if you are interested. We are happy to have new friends!

Join Us For a Night of Music 🎶 on March 20

At the Tzu Chi USA Amplify Health: 2021 Virtual Gala, you’ll have the chance to see powerful performances from gifted musicians. They include those familiar and new to Tzu Chi’s medical mission, like Marcos Loya, Alex Bautista and Ximena Ibarra, and Mariano Cersa.

Marcos Loya is a world class musician 🎸 and composer whose work has appeared in popular films, theater, and even with Madonna in “La Isla Bonita.” But, even the talented can run into tough times. By 2018, he’d already been a year and a half without his eyeglasses, unable to afford a replacement. After coming across Tzu Chi’s free Vision Mobile Services in Los Angeles, Marcos received a brand new pair and a clearer outlook on life: “the kindness of people that reach out to the community, I think that’s going to be our saving grace.”

Like Marcos, Ecuadorian musicians Alex Bautista and Ximena Ibarra have also been moved by compassion and became volunteers of Brigada de Esperanza NY, a frequent collaborator of Tzu Chi NY. Last fall, the husband and wife duo performed at the Tzu Chi USA annual charity concert, and Alex has grown closer to Tzu Chi. He’s since volunteered at two Tzu Chi Vision Mobile outreaches, which focused on getting free prescription glasses 👓 to Latinos struggling through the pandemic in NYC.

While we eagerly await performances by our friends Marcos Loya, Alex Bautista & Ximena Ibarra, and Mariano Cersa, you don’t have to wait to make a difference. Make a donation today to support Tzu Chi USA’s medical mission. With it, you ensure that basic, quality care does not have to be a luxury.

3月20日跨族裔的感動化作歌聲 🎶

在2021慈濟美國雲端募款晚會中，您將有機會和才華洋溢的音樂人共度暖心又有意義的歡樂時光——其中包括在紐約大愛眼科醫療車擔任志工的吉他手亞歷克斯·鮑提斯塔、厄瓜多女歌手希梅納·伊貝瑞、曾接受洛杉磯大愛眼科醫療車服務的音樂人馬科斯·羅亞，還有新接觸慈濟就被感動的馬利安諾·瑟薩。

馬科斯是世界級音樂創作人和吉他手，是許多電影、電視劇的作曲家、音樂製作人，更發行過個人專輯，也曾參與瑪丹娜（Madonna）音樂視頻「La Isla Bonita」的演出。就在事業如日中天時，命運急轉，他流落到居無定所的境地，連配眼鏡的錢都沒有。2018年他在大愛眼科醫療車接受了完整的視力檢測，收到了可矯正其視力的眼鏡，讓他的世界再次明亮起來：「這群善良的人們來到這個社區，就像是救命之恩一樣。」

厄瓜多知名音樂人夫妻檔亞歷克斯和希梅納，也同樣被慈濟理念深深打動。他們是紐約希望組織的義工，和慈濟攜手服務紐約西語裔低收家庭。去年這對音樂人夫妻參與慈濟美國慈善感恩音樂會的演出，而亞歷克斯更為紐約大愛眼科醫療車奉獻心力。

亞歷克斯全程參與紐約大愛眼科醫療車的醫療志工培訓，學習視力檢測的基本知識和器械操作，並在完成培訓後，在紐約大愛眼科醫療車的社區義診中服務，為有視力問題的西語裔族群配置眼鏡。這次他和妻子將再度為慈濟獻藝。

3月20日，邀請您和這些有故事的多族裔音樂人雲端共聚，觀賞他們精彩的演出，分享他們暖心的見證。而您的護持，將讓慈濟醫療志業能繼續扎根全美、守護生命，也讓這一波波善的漣漪，不斷擴散。

This February, Tzu Chi USA is excited to present the inaugural screening of a new film program, Mindful Eye 🎞️.

Bi-monthly screenings will present films and conversations on global issues 🌐 that are connected to core humanistic concepts including compassion and mindful living.

On Thursday, February 25, you’ll see films Honeyland (2019) and Stung by Climate (2015, along with an insightful discussion with Tamara Kotevska (documentary filmmaker and co-director of Honeyland) and Nils Aucante (beekeeper and director of Stung by Climate). Both films center on the threats beekeepers around the world 🐝 face in maintaining their colonies, and what all that means for the future of food production and life as we know it.

We are so excited for this riveting exploration into beekeeping, hosted by actor Bart Shatto. See a preview of our event here. Tickets for our virtual screening 📽️ are on sale now! ($5.99) Limited quantities available.

Much of the humanitarian outreach work Tzu Chi does is of course more complicated or even impossible, during a pandemic. But everyone is still warmly welcome to join our weekly (Sundays 10AM) study and meditation session web meetings! We will be starting a series in a few weeks. Stay tuned for the start date!
