Coffee Session #6
Once again I would like to thank Fashi and Sister Diana for the opportunity to attend and benefit from the La kopi sessions. Today, Sister Jasmine shared about her life journey. She takes everything that comes her way with a positive strive even when she fell sick. She never once complained about the illness because she's unwilling to cause a burden to her love ones especially when she is extreme pain. She's an example of a person who live life the fullness, so thankful to be alive each and everyday. Her earnest and faith in the Triple Gem, could be clearly reflected her actions such as volunteering and repentance session. I felt myself learning and growing as my perspective shift from just being admiring her to inspired by her; to become a better person, someone positive and able to face all challenges just like you, because I have already taken the first step to believe this change is possible and from now will take it step by step to reach there. (Jannie)
Very thankful to Sister 郦缃 for her sharing. Her positive mindset and her faith in Master has helped her overcome many obstacles. Indeed, even when no one is there for you, Master and Teacher will still be there…therefore, you are not alone. It touches my heart deeply to hear that, as it gives me hope that no matter what, as long as I have Master and Teacher with me, I can pull through all the obstacles.
Fashi has also shared a statement by Master, which I think I will always remember,
“能老也很好，证明了我至少还有福报。”
A small little change in perspective will change everything. (Xue Ying)
感恩Jasmine分享她的生命历程。从她的分享中学习到怎么把痛苦转成对师父老师修皈依，做什么事情都会启白师长, Jasmine 乐善好施、坚强、勇悍、具正能量，是我要效学的。祈愿Jasmine身体健健康康! 快快乐乐! 福德智慧圆满! 早日圆成菩提道! (蓉蓉)
感恩同行的心得分享，让我看见您对师长的信心。
每天祈求，祈白师长，面对病痛时保持正念，坚持拜忏，净罪集积，坚持上研讨班，听闻正法。
这就是师长，法师常提醒我们要去修持的文殊三要呀。非常的随喜您，这是我要向您学习的。感恩您🙏🏻我们一起加油！生生增上吧！🙏🏻(诗颖)
Today I learnt two things from Venerable:
To care for others, we need to start from observing them. Then doing things for them according to what we have observed.
Everyone would go through birth and death, but not everyone would get to grow old. Master once said that growing old is also a blessing.
Secondly, to Jasmine, I have always wondered why she was always sick when I meet her in the Monastery but have always admired her for her strength to continue doing volunteer work as well as her positive energy. Today when I learnt she has been so sick for such a long time, I have even more admiration for her, I have a lot to learn from her. Also her line “没有法要怎么办？” left me with much to reflect upon. （Angeline）
再次感恩师父老师，能在这一生把弟子找回来，虽然自己的学习水平一般，可是会加倍努力学习的💪
再来就是，末学很开心今早有机缘和善友们分享自己的心路历程，感谢诸善友们的聆听。
希望末学这小小的分享能传递正能量给大家，我们一起加油哦！😍😍（郦缃）
Thank you to Jasmine for sharing about her obstacles and rejoice on her positivity, her infinity with Shifu as well as her reliance on the Triple Gem. While some of us may not have the positivity inborn like Jasmine, I recall the Buddha's teaching on causally concordant effects and thus am inspired to plant the seed of positivity now and reap the benefits later, in terms of infinite lifetimes. Her message on reliance on the Triple Gem is close to my heart, because it's unimaginable what would have happened when faced with obstacles and we do not know how to rely on the Triple Gem. However once our hearts follow the Triple Gem, regardless of how battered our bodies might be, there is an abundance of hope and joy within our hearts, like rays of sunlight filling up a once-darkened room. Thank you with gratitude for your sharing once again, Jasmine. (Julie)
感恩法师的引导、蓉蓉师姐用心的安排; 今天的La-Kopi session，又上了宝贵的一堂课。
无比赞叹和随喜Jasmine师姐，从她的分享中看到她強大、勇悍、充滿正能量和坦然的那一颗心。在还沒学广论前，就已经懂得常常与观世音菩萨启白。从中也看到她宿生的善根与修善的等流。与病魔斗争中还处处为家人着想而选择独自去面对痛楚。勿必要向她学习那积极向善、为人着想的精神。
再再感恩法师的提醒和勉励大家要“珍惜暇滿、串习法语、远离四恶语“。 在此祝福大家健康快乐、福慧增长、早日圆成菩提道！（云娟）
Today's is another fruitful session for me. Sis Jasmine shared about her life journey. From her sharing I could feel that her faith in Triple Gem & teachers is so strong that even when she was facing so much pain & suffering, her first thought is always三宝和师父，真的是师父的好弟子。
感恩法师提醒我们要时时刻刻修持文殊三要。(Pris)
