親愛的家長
4/20早上10:30-11:45於人文學校餐廳，將有一場精彩分享「信任與實踐對家庭和睦的影響」
講師是特地從北加州矽谷飛來西雅圖的麗珊師姐與寶如師兄，兩位分別是心理治療師與電腦工程師，更是人人稱羨的一對同行慈濟的夫妻同修。
自從去年12月，在康州發生嚴重的校園槍擊案後，證嚴上人在2012冬之卷的衲履足跡，有數次提到這件事，美國青少年心理問題愈嚴重，期待人文教育的普遍，調正人心。讓注重孩子敎育問題的父母，可以醒覺及受益，把孩子送來慈少或人文學校就讀，讓孩子在慈濟愛與感恩的環境中成長，是非常重要的，可以舒解孩子內心的焦慮和偏差，家長也了解自己的角色，而麗珊師姊正是主要分享者。
從去年開始，麗珊師姊在美國學校做心理治療的實習工作，一對一深入孩子問題的根源，發現校園槍擊案是有跡可尋、學校的問題孩子具有濳在的危機。也當過慈少老師的她，在分享中，點出慈濟人文敎育的重要性，是美國敎育環境的一線曙光。
只願人心更調和、家庭更快樂。敬邀您一起來聆聽此場非常精彩的演講，必能得大益。

Dear Parents,
You’re invited to attend a
thought-provoking talk on Saturday 4/20, 10:30AM -
11:45AM, at the Tzu Chi Academy cafeteria, on the topic of “how to achieve
family harmony thru mutual trust".
Our special guest speakers,
Sister Li-Shan and Brother Pohjoo, will be flying to Seattle from
California's Silicon Valley. Sister Li-Shan is a psychotherapist,
and her husband a computer engineer. They are a much admired couple sharing the
Tzu Chi spiritual path.
In the aftermath of the Connecticut school gun rampage last December, Master Cheng Yen made several references to this tragedy in the Winter 2012 volume of “Master Cheng Yen’s Daily Journal”. Master commented on the mental problems of the American youth and hoped the spread of Tzu Chi humanitarian education will help develop a healthier mind.
In the aftermath of the Connecticut school gun rampage last December, Master Cheng Yen made several references to this tragedy in the Winter 2012 volume of “Master Cheng Yen’s Daily Journal”. Master commented on the mental problems of the American youth and hoped the spread of Tzu Chi humanitarian education will help develop a healthier mind.
Responding
to Master’s message, a number of Silicon Valley parents concerned about the impact of education on the youth have
already decided to enroll their children at Tzu Chi Academy, or have them join
Tzu Chi Youth Group.
Tzu
Chi’s nurturing environment lets
students grow up surrounded by love and
gratitude. As their anxiety levels are
reduced, so is the chance for delinquent behavior. The parents’ interaction with Tzu Chi also
helps improve their parenting skills.
This is exactly the point that Sister Li-Shan will be sharing with us.
Sister Li-Shan has interned as a psychotherapist
at local schools since last year. She works one-on-one with students in trying to identify the root causes of juvenile delinquency.
In the process, she discovered that school shootings did have early
warning signs, indicating the potential for violent behaviors by at-risk youth.
A former Tzu Chi Youth leader herself,
Sister Li-Shan compared the significance of Tzu Chi
humanitarian education to “a ray of hope in the American education system”.
We wish to see more healthy minds and happy families
in the world. Come join us for this talk
and bring back helpful tips to your family!
With
Gratitude,
Tzu Chi Academy
