慈青接棒傳遞人文 家族媒體匯聚清流

曾經身為慈青的他對  證嚴上人所提倡的環保更是身體力行,除了隨身自備小水杯外,也節省紙張的使用,而外出時更是隨身攜帶環保筷。這樣的理念與大愛感恩科技所提倡的環保人文不謀而合,也同身在慈濟這個大家庭裡,廖偉銘師兄與大愛感恩科技的李鼎銘師兄牽起了一份緣,進而邀約前去為秀泰的員工分享。  李鼎銘師兄除了簡單分享自己走入慈濟的因緣與恆持的過程以外,也用淺顯易懂的方式向在場媒體人分享大愛感恩科技背後的環保人文與完全回饋等核心價值,最後,李師兄除了呼籲在場的聽眾能提起愛護地球的觀念外,亦開放現場熱烈Q&A問答。

在媒體界,能有這樣獨特又富有人文的經營理念,應歸功於 總經理廖偉銘的想法與人生背景, 廖師兄早期曾是美國紐約的慈濟大專青年聯誼會(慈青)幹部,曾參與慈濟海外第一批的翻譯志工,主要負責慈濟  證嚴上人的影音和書籍等作品的翻譯。如此特殊的因緣,讓廖偉銘得以接觸慈濟與佛法,更是堅定了日後把握機會宣導這些理念的使命感。因此,廖師兄於2003年回國接下家族事業,承擔起秀泰影城的總經理一職後,仍不忘時時於職場推廣慈濟理念,常邀請慈濟人去秀泰影城分享,藉此平台積極說法傳法,成為媒體清流。大愛感恩科技於板橋秀泰影城的分享持續一個多小時,在愉快的互動下畫下了句點,然而大愛感恩科技背後的理念與影響將持續下去,希望能藉由各行各業的力量,傳遞給各界人士,一同護持,讓我們的地球能夠永續美好。

Even being at home, the tidy attitude should not be neglected, as we should also maintain the right manner, and constantly cultivate our spiritual minds towards virtuous model every second that we preciously hold.

From the actual wedding to living necessities after the wedding, DA.AI introduces series of products to not only fulfill new couples’ daily needs, but also aims to bring the concept of “Green Living from the Heart” into their lives.

The Taiwan EPA awarded companies and organizations for their contributions in providing products and services from all living aspects, and wishes to communicate the urgent need to protect the environment through places such as restaurants, hotels, retail stores, and more. Green purchase was also one of the important elements, promoting consumers to purchase recycled and re-made products rather than complete new ones to lower energy and resource use. This is exactly what DA.AI Technology is looking to provide to newly-wed couples, and elevate everyone’s eco-protection awareness.
