The exercise of waking up very early to listen to Master Cheng Yan's teaching and having a discussion among the Tzu Ching started under a suggestion from a Tzu Ching from Tai Zhong. It gain popularity in Malaysia and slowly spread to America.
“晨钟起，薰法香”由台中一位慈青发起，在马来西亚普及，慢慢地传到了美国。
Tzu Ching in Asia wakes up at 5.30 am for Master's "Morning Session" of explaining the sutra. In America, we start at 7 am and listen to Master's "Evening session" of explaining Tzu Chi activities.
在亚洲慈青凌晨五点半起身，观看上人开演早课“静思晨语”，过后上网互相讨论。因为时差的关系，在美国我们早上七点起床，讨论上人开演解释慈济全球活动的“人间菩提”。
I do not know when the Tzu Ching from the University of Michigan started their daily listening and discussion of Master's teaching. Boston Tzu Ching got the invitation in late March and I joined in on 13 Apr. We will download and watch Master's teaching beforehand and come online in MSN for discussion at 7 am. I joined in the discussion almost everyday, except for Sunday when I had to go to our Chinese School or when I had to make trips out of campus in the morning.
我不知道密歇根大学慈青们何时开始“晨钟起，薰法香”。波士顿慈青在三月下旬受到邀请，而我在四月十三日加入。我们先在网上下载并观赏上人开演的“人间菩提”。过后早上七点，大家上线在MSN讨论。我几乎每天都参加讨论，除了礼拜日需要到人文学校，或不得已上午需要出校园一趟。
I started on 13 Apr, but after 26 May, when University of Michigan summer vacation started, their Tzu Ching started to move between dorms and took vacation. Hence, after 26 May, I am always the only person alone and finally on 13 Jun, they suspend the whole activity till the end of the vacation.
短短一个多月，五月二十六日后，密西根大学放暑假。密西根大学慈青们开始换宿舍及出游放假。因此，五月二十六日后，各忙各的，我经常成了唯一上线的人。终于在六月十三日，密西根大学慈青暂停“晨钟起，薰法香”活动，直到暑假结束。
Therefore, I joined this event more slightly more than a month. I got to know Beth, the Senior Tzu Ching in-charge of the event and a bunch of young Tzu Ching who are mostly from Malaysia studying in Michigan. One of the rewards is the chance to interact with Tzu Ching from other areas and understand how they conduct their activities. We discuss things ranging from how to wake up early to attend the session, how to encourage students to bring their own containers for meals, how to attract more students to join Tzu Ching and many others.
因此，我参加“晨钟起，薰法香”活动一个多月，有缘认识慈青学长怡玮。怡玮学长负责慈青活动以及照顾大多来自马来西亚的年轻慈青。其中的心得是有机会与其他地区的慈青互动，多了解他们是如何进行慈青活动。我们讨论的课题广泛，从如何早起薰法香到如何鼓励同学自备环保餐具到慈青招生。
The other reward is that I got to understand Tzu Chi better, know more about the activities of Tzu Chi all over the world and realized how significant our work are to many people.
另外的心得是，我有机会更加了解慈济，知道更多世界各地的慈济活动以及明白我们的付出是多么的有意义。
