我们的正念读书会至今已开展数月，大家在其中展现出的积极参与以及建立的深厚连结，让我们心怀感激。
Our Mindful Reading Club has now been running for several months, and we are deeply grateful for the meaningful engagement and connections that have grown through it.

这段时间里，我们格外幸运能有一支由五位固定成员组成的核心小组，每周持续与我们相聚。
Over this time, we have been especially fortunate to have a core group of five regular participants who continue to join us each week.

其中一位参与者来自马来西亚。她此前曾多次参加 MPI 的活动，在尝试参加了一两次正念读书会后，很快便受到启发，开始更系统地学习 MPI 的课程。另一位常客是本地的一位女士，她过去曾参加过线下的读书小组，如今转为参加我们的线上交流，并在会中坦诚地分享自己的想法、感悟与洞见。
One participant is from Malaysia. Having previously taken part in several MPI activities, she joined our Mindful Reading Club once or twice and was soon inspired to begin studying through MPI’s courses in a more systematic way. Another regular participant is a local lady who had previously attended in-person reading groups and has now transitioned to our online sessions, where she openly shares her thoughts, reflections, and insights.

或许正念读书会中最动人的部分，莫过于三位青少年的加入。最初，是在同样身为修行者的母亲鼓励下，他们来到了这里。作为正处于青春期的年轻人，他们对生活自然充满了许多疑问与迷茫。通过阅读与探讨，他们获得了开拓视野的契机，也学会了从不同视角去理解自己以及身边的世界。
Perhaps the most touching part of our Mindful Reading Club has been the participation of three teenagers. They were initially encouraged to join by their mother, who is also a fellow practitioner. As young people navigating adolescence, they naturally face many questions and uncertainties about life. Through reading and discussion, they have been given opportunities to broaden their perspectives and explore different ways of understanding themselves and the world around them.

最令我们感动的，是他们眼中真挚的好奇心与求知欲。他们自身的感悟完美地展现了本读书会的精神。Rachel 分享道：“我喜欢倾听不同人关于内心平静与幸福的见解。” George 表示：“我喜欢听大家分享故事和经历。” Cynthia 则表达道：“我很喜欢大家一起探讨文本的过程，这大大加深了我对内容的理解。” 他们的心声表明，他们不仅仅是在按时出席正念读书会，更是在利用书籍、讨论以及共同的经历来深化理解、拓宽视野，并探索关于人生的深刻命题。
What has moved us most is their genuine curiosity and willingness to learn. Their own reflections capture the spirit of the group beautifully. Rachel shared, “I like hearing different people’s perspectives relating to inner peace and happiness.” George said, “I like hearing other people’s stories and experiences.” And Cynthia reflected, “I like how discussing the text with everyone enhances my understanding of it.” Their comments show that they are not simply attending the Mindful Reading Club; they are using the books, discussions, and shared experiences to deepen their understanding, broaden their perspectives, and explore meaningful questions about life.

在大家每周的悉心相伴与积极参与下，每一次的聚会都逐渐蜕变成一个温暖、包容且充满启迪的平台，让我们得以互相学习、共同成长。
With everyone’s regular presence and active participation, each weekly session has gradually become a warm, supportive, and inspiring space where we can learn from one another and grow together.
