枯木水中影，

閒僧亂石行。

晨曦欲添色，

雲展舟不停。

In still water, shadows of aged trees sway,

Carefree among stones, a monk finds his way.

As Dawn seeks new hues, in the morning's embrace,

Clouds unfurl gently, as the boat sets its pace.

Thanks to your contributions and steadfast support from our volunteers, we are able to begin the first of several renovation projects: installation of solar panels. Groundwork for the placement of panels is currently underway.

般若禪林整修工程第一個項目：太陽能電池板，其基椿已在施工中。有您的發心供養和義工的不懈努力，我們才能陸續完成接下來的項目。

2024年4/6 - 5/5 日的精進禪修月已圓滿結束。感謝師父的教導，希望參與者皆收獲滿滿，來年再聚！

We have completed the month-long diligent meditation practice. We are grateful for Shifu’s initiation and full participation in this cultivation project. Please join us again next year!

一位法師的禪修月心得：四月份課程圓滿了，今天突然發現薰修功德殊勝行。

1) 在和別人聊到相對主題時，課程內容就會開口飄出，原來是平日沒有和人互動，沒有刺激思惟，不知道自己薰修了多少？

2) 聽課當下茫茫然，但點點滴滴一年下來，不知不覺也進步很多。密集的課程，內容吸收不一定都記得，但在思考線上開示的「功課」時，突然開竅，懂得如何下標，找資料，也有增長自信敢開口了，且發現這樣的準備過程，對內容的架構記得更深刻。

3) 為了每日要如時上線聽課，把我的作息改善了，是額外的收獲。

這些都是過去一年來薰修，加這個月帶狀聽課，累積所得，今天突然發覺的變化。

Feedback from a young man:

I find myself enveloped in a profound sense of joy. Through the teachings by JianHu Shifu, I've unearthed a revelation: that the root of some of my struggles lay in the lofty expectations I held of my relationships. Now, with newfound clarity, I am able to discern the origins of their actions, fostering a sense of empathy within me. Embracing the art of understanding and embracing individuals, flaws and all, has given me a serenity that will help me through life's daily challenges.
