• Recently, we have continued planting banana trees on the mountain. With everyone's collective effort, we’ve already planted more than half of the area. Initially, we were almost overwhelmed by the vast hillside, thinking, "Oh my, how can the five of us possibly finish cutting the grass and planting on this huge mountain?" But Huiyi remained calm, carrying the weed cutter up the mountain every day to clear the grass and small shrubs while we dug holes and planted together. Indeed, "Hard work pays off." As long as you accumulate your efforts and don't give up, your goals can be achieved. We finally see hope, and we are very happy.

  This reminds me of a quote that once touched my heart deeply: "If you really want to do something, then no matter how many obstacles are in your way, you will find a way to achieve it. But if you don’t truly want to accomplish something, even if the path ahead is smooth, you will find every excuse to stop yourself from moving forward." I believe this is true. Finding something you truly love and living according to your own heart is a tremendous source of motivation.

• Sister Pitoy is a straightforward, lively, and kind-hearted landlady who has shown us great care and support in the Thailand branch. She has helped us in many ways. When Huiyi learned that her old phone was barely usable, he decided to express our gratitude by applying to the guide for a new phone as a gift for her.

  "Do not remember the good deeds you do, but never forget the kindness you receive." It’s important to be grateful and to repay the benefactors who help us along life’s journey.

• To record our daily lives and to promote the Chanyuan principles and community model, the members of the Thailand branch have started playing with short video production during their free time. Our main platform is currently Kuaishou. If you are interested in seeing more lively, detailed, and exciting updates about our activities, feel free to follow the Lifechanyuan Thailand Branch. However, we are still in the learning phase of video production, so the quality might not be perfect. We hope the guide and fellow Celestials will be understanding.
