水患賑災結緣 澳伊普市長秉愛訪

圖說:  澳洲黃金海岸及雪梨分會慈濟師兄姊,由於救災膚慰因緣(伊普市水患與藍山市森林大火),長期以來積極與澳洲當地合作,深耕慈濟精神與愛灑環保理念,伊普市市長保羅(前排右四)當起善的橋樑,帶領藍山市市議員   (前排右三)以及昆士蘭省教育部代表賽門(前排左四)一同來台深入參訪慈濟和大愛感恩科技,要將「清淨在源頭、環保精質化」的精神帶回澳洲,持續”生根”環保人文。(攝影者:蔡知穎)慈濟人國際援助的足跡,遍及數十個國家。而在2011年,澳洲一場嚴重水患,造成不少城鎮和民眾受害,當地慈濟志工展開援助和發放,愛的身影,感動了當時的伊普市市長保羅。隔年,帶著感激之情,來到台灣拜會證嚴上人,親口說感恩,返國之後,更積極推動素食和靜思語好話。今天,他再度來到台灣,還當起善的橋樑,帶著藍山市市議員,以及昆士蘭省教育部代表,也是伊普市高中校長賽門,前來深入參訪慈濟,是學習志工精神,還要將環保理念,帶回澳洲,徹底落實。

2年前,澳洲伊普市市長保羅,來台參訪慈濟,火車上竹筒募愛心的身影,讓人印象深刻,而愛的互動,持續發酵。


圖說:大愛感恩科技 李鼎銘師兄致贈結緣品予伊普市市長保羅,其中包含  證嚴上人靜思語的吉祥物書籤及環保隨身碟,以及獲得經濟部能源局大力推廣的節能減碳「夏日輕衫」,並藉由大愛 LED天燈點亮貴賓們的心,蘊含「慈悲喜捨」的大愛的心燈,向澳洲遠道而來的朋友傳遞最真摯的祝福。(攝影者:蔡知穎)二度來台,保羅市長,不只一人,同行的還有昆士蘭省教育部代表,以及藍山市議員,尤其是市議員唐恩,帶著太太,首度前來深入了解慈濟志業,源自去年底一場森林大火。

澳洲藍山市議員 唐恩:「慈濟人的的勇氣 慈悲,愛和同理心 我們所接受到的,對我們來說都很重要,特別是整個社區(受災居民)。」

近距離來到環保站,味道撲鼻而來,對於環保志工投入的精神,更加敬佩。而這趟環保之旅,還少不了這個。

素人走秀,秀的是綠色環保紡織產品,典雅、高貴的設計,博得滿堂采。一行人,來到大愛感恩科技公司,因為昆士蘭省教育部代表賽門校長,要來替伊普市高中學生,挑選環保制服。

澳洲昆士蘭省教育部代表 賽門:「我想要讓(伊普市高中),成為澳洲第一所高中,全校師生都穿(寶特瓶)環保制服,這樣對於(推動綠色環保),會更有力道,因為(環保)意識常被忽略。」

用心,護持大地環保,心靈環保,更不能忽略。保羅市長名片背後,印上的,是一句句英文靜思語,讓人看見,兩年多來,他在澳洲推動靜思好話的決心。

澳洲伊普市長 保羅:「身為一位市長,我是澳洲最棒的(靜思)弟子,我要讓慈濟在澳洲越來越茁壯,我更等不及,要再見見我的好朋友 證嚴上人。」

來台第一天,收穫不少,彼此互贈見面禮,要將愛的種子,傳遞下去。
