Coffee Session #3
Very glad to see even more team members joining in the coffee session, and rejoice them for specially waking up earlier to have virtual coffee and catch up with everyone. The editorial team and the online session team operate separately and thus seldom have a chance to meet up, so I was glad for this chance for everyone to get to know each other. I'm very grateful to share about how I started volunteering for the monastery, because reflecting back on my past experience made me realize how much I have grown and benefitted through learning to give to others, and I wouldn't have benefitted so much without the guidance of my teachers and many virtuous friends. Hearing others share their joys and tears during this session also made me realize their kind hearts and appreciate them even more. Certainly looking forward to the next session to learn about more hearts to be opened. - Julie
同行善友之间心与心的交流才能在这菩提道上继续走下去，毕竟我们都是需要师法友的环境修行。
今天法师点中了我的心。一直以来，我不明白为何需要善友，自己学自己修，不就行了吗？毕竟这是自己的人生，和有没有善友何关？但今天，法师告诉了我，如果只考虑到自己，那就是在种二乘因。这点醒了我，也看到我的愚痴和自私的心。再回想，从几何时，我们的心门都被世俗的影响而越关越紧。真的要打开自己的心房，已经是不容易的事了，但是我知道这是必要的，也会试着努力。
云娟师姐的分享也让我反省，这一路走来，我也是不知不觉伤害了多少人，而自己没察觉到。曾经的我一定是不会去理会，但是法师提醒要发愿去弥补被我所伤害的人，这才能策发菩提心的因。
又上了一堂宝贵的课。 - 林学颖
很随喜及赞叹各位善友，大家真心流露地分享自己的心路历程，学佛前后的蜕变，再一次地加强末学对师长的皈依心，因为有师长的引导，才让我们每一个人看到自己灿烂的一面。“观功念恩”至今弟子都念念不忘，一直都尽所能去应用在每一个细节每一件事上，希望自己和一切众生都能认真看待“观功念恩”的这四个字。（郦缃）
Although this is our third La Kopi session, I am still very thankful to Fashi, Sister 蓉蓉 and everyone who have attended. This session has made me realised that the issues my virtuous friends are struggling with are similar to those of mine. When I felt their pain, somehow my own sorrow disappeared... All my problems doesn't look so big any more. I guess this is one of the reason why humans are the best realm to practice the dharma. Together, we need to open our heart and practice the dharma while we can.. Can't wait for the next session to hear more... (Jannie)
Rejoice to everyone who woke so early in the morning to participate in the La-Kopi Session!
It was very refreshing to hear from Julie, I had no idea she was part of the group that filmed the English videos for Master’s Remembrance Day! I can imagine how hard it must have been to be doing all that with no prior experience. I really admire her joyous perseverance! She showed me how a person with the right motivation can persevere through hardship.
Secondly, I was glad to have heard from Yun Juan, she struck me as a person who is kind, gentle and very willing to help. I had no idea behind that how much hardship she has been through. She always showed such a positive vibe, I hope that she continues to be this way and that everything works out smoothly for her.
Finally, I want to thank the venerables for their support!

在｛品味咖啡｝的时段，大家相互以真挚的心明澈交流。在如此泰然的环境中，可以开启心房分享自己以往的经历。队友们温馨的关怀让我深受感动，给了我满满的正能量！我会努力克服内心深处的怯弱 - 因害怕受到伤害的怯弱。这怯弱无形中让自己变得不那么积极，甚至裹足不前。不过对于心中的依怙仍然具足信心。感恩同行善友们一路的陪伴。（云娟）
今天善友们的分享，让自己体会到十大愿王中最易趣入修习的那一支就是随喜支。同行分享修德断过修行过程，实在令人感动且使自己当下串习修随喜，增长功德回向众生，能得佛菩萨和三宝摄受成就菩提。感恩醒觉自身轻易弃舍对境的众生，以及避免养成犯菩萨戒的习气。（秋云）
感恩能与大家一起护持全广。在护持的过程中学习到 ~要打开心，用真诚的心并把它融入到群队当中，依师、依法、依友，才能走得远 走得稳。(蓉蓉)
