**「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

It's a relaxing workout with rewarding city-meets-nature views – perfect for a Saturday unwind.

This is a slow/moderate paced leisure hike perfect for beginners, families, and those looking for an easy nature walk.

From there, we walk a short distance to the Lion Rock Country Park entrance and the Eagle's Nest Nature Trail archway (near MacLehose Trail Section 5 sign M115). 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). Get off at "Shek Lui Pui Reservoir" bus stop on Tai Po Road. From Kowloon side: Cross the footbridge to the opposite side From New Territories side: Walk left along Piper's Hill Road From finish: Same bus stop – take Bus 72 or 81 back.

A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK • AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER What if you got to do everything in your life—twice? The heart of Mitch Albom’s newest novel is a stunning love story that dares to explore how our unchecked desires might mean losing what we’ve had all along. When he is eight years old, Alfie Logan discovers the magical ability to get a second chance at everything. He can undo any moment and live it again. The one catch: he must accept the consequences of his second try—for better or worse.

Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans. We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans. Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served. This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.

**Our June novel is: *The Eights* by Joanna Miller** **This month’s novel is set during World War I. It’s a 20th-century historical fiction story about friendship and war, with coming-of-age elements and a slightly haunted tone. The book is 384 pages in print and 10 hours and 9 minutes on audiobook.** Oxford, 1920. For the first time in its one-thousand-year history, Oxford University officially admits female students. Burning with dreams of equality, four young women move into neighboring rooms in Corridor 8. Beatrice, Dora, Marianne, and Otto—collectively known as The Eights—come from all walks of life, each driven by their own motives, each holding tight to their secrets, and are thrown into an unlikely, unshakable friendship. Dora was never meant to go to university, but, after losing both her brother and her fiancé on the battlefield, has arrived in their place. Politically-minded Beatrice, daughter of a famous suffragette, sees Oxford as a chance to make her own way - and some friends her own age. Otto was a nurse during the war but is excited to return to her socialite lifestyle in Oxford where she hopes to find distraction from the memories that haunt her. And finally Marianne, the quiet, clever daughter of a village pastor, who has a shocking secret she must hide from everyone, even her new friends, if she is to succeed. Among the historic spires, and in the long shadow of the Great War, the four women must navigate and support one another in a turbulent world in which misogyny is rife, influenza is still a threat, and the ghosts of the Great War don’t always remain dead.
