**「放下的秘密」周末禪修工作坊** **見道法師主持** **歡迎大家參加!** 通常，人們有執著不放手之心，是因為找不到真正釋懷的理由。在輪迴中，我們無法找到完美的方案來解決人生問題。妄念只會驅使我們不斷沉迷和妄想，結局只有迷惘與煎熬。 然而，真正讓我們放下的力量來自佛法的智慧。透過修心法，我們培養正面的思維，轉化困境，這樣便會發現，它們其實是令我們進步的推動力 。就像孔雀能將其他鳥類視為毒物的植物，轉化為成長的養分；同樣，我們若真誠學習佛陀的教導，就能將令人生起執著的渴望與厭惡，轉化為增進精神修行的最佳良機 。 邀請你一同探索這份智慧，學習如何放下執著，將人生困境轉化為內在的力量，體驗真正的自在與喜悅。 費用: $250。詳情及報名: [https://www.meditation.hk/2021/portfolio-item/weekend-workshop/](https://www.meditation.hk/2021/portfolio-item/weekend-workshop/) #現代佛法

The 3.6km Eagle's Nest Nature Trail is a loop around "Tsim Shan" (Eagle's Nest Hill), named after the Black Kites that nest there. We'll follow the well-marked nature trail through dense, shaded woodland, passing: Glimpses of Kowloon Reservoir (a declared monument with a unique arched dam built in 1910) Native plants including Shiuying Bamboo and wild coffee plants Panoramic views of Kowloon Peninsula and Hong Kong Island in the distance Quiet forest paths with little to no cell signal After completing the nature trail, we'll loop around Shek Lui Pui Reservoir (built 1925, Grade II historic structure) with its distinctive green waters and serene atmosphere before returning to the bus stop. Total hiking time approximately 3-3.5 hours at a leisurely pace. Transport: To start: Take KMB Bus 72 (Cheung Sha Wan/Tai Wo) or 81 (Jordan/Sha Tin).

Is there hidden value in the difficulties and hardships of life, or are these things just to try to get past as quickly as possible? If so, how can we emerge from the current world crisis we are facing as stronger, more resilient individuals and communities? When we look at the difficult moments of our lives, aren’t those often the times when we grew the most? So many valuable lessons in life and growth opportunities are hard-won, often coming out of these trying moments. So why are we so focused on avoiding these difficulties? From this perspective, how would we as individuals and as a society confront the inevitable struggles we will be faced with? How can we build stronger communities that ensure not only that we don’t have to face struggles alone, but that we as individuals will emerge stronger as well? Come join a different kind of conversation – one that welcomes every perspective in a search for the truths that unite us all – as we discuss the spiritual perspective offered by the Bahá’í Teachings on the opportunity for growth during times of struggle. Join us for a lively discussion as we reflect on the meaning of the struggles of life and explore the true nature of progress. *“The troubles of this world pass and what we have left is what we have made of our souls.*” – Bahá’í Teachings \*\*\* This event is free and open to all regardless of background or belief. Donations will not be accepted.
