僧侶們也歡迎島民 在新年除夕 從下午2：30-3：30 進入他們的家[僧院] 到他們的禱告大廳[大殿]，在新年中 敲鐘和祈福。

“We want to fit in with the Island and also just kind of give back to our neighbours,’’ Sabrina said. “We’ve been hanging up some Christmas lights. It’s really beautiful. We have a really big tree outside and then we put lights on it and we’ve been giving out treats to our neighbours and our friends, just because we really like the gift-giving part of Christmas.’’
“我們想要適應島嶼，也只是回饋我們的鄰居，”
Sabrina說。 “我們一直掛著一些聖誕燈。 這真的很美。 我們有一個非常大的樹在外面，然後我們點亮它，我們一直給予我們的鄰居和我們的朋友，只是因為我們真的喜歡聖誕節的禮物贈送的一部分。

Yvonne said her wish will be to do whatever she can to make her parents and all the people around her happy.

“It may be just another day for me but the birth (of Jesus), it’s inspiring us to do something better for the world. It’s good practice for us, too.’’
The nuns were still thinking about ways they could give back at Christmas but seemed warm to the idea of just going out and greeting people and wishing them well.
“這可能只是我的另一天，但是在耶穌誕生日，它激勵了我們 為世界做更好的事情。這也是我們良好的練習。
尼師們一直思考著 他們在聖誕節可以回饋的方式，但看起來要加溫 就是讓這個構想進行出去，與問候和祝他們很好。

…> 福智派到加拿大佛學院學習的僧尼 也不過在加拿大P島住了7年或4年,即就算是接受了P島島民的照顧或友善, 然這些福智僧尼 在真如/金的指示 不已經從2014-2016年 天天對著島民說”要回饋”的 - 每周作2000個麵包卷濟貧 煮中國料理給街友 不時送有機玉米 草莓 高麗菜等蔬果 且還送過向日葵 幫甚麼之家打掃 參加島上的各類公益活動
乃至定期的邀請島民到僧院參觀 與送他們禮物等 理由都是”要回饋島民”
如是猛力且獻殷勤的”敦親睦鄰” 真是不但讓當地島民受寵若驚 且當地的報紙 也覺得太驚奇的 不好好報導不行啊!
今年真如/金更積極,連聖誕節都要GEBIS /GWBI-福智在加拿大的佛學院的僧尼 跟著島民一起過聖誕節
如是 還不夠 即尼師還說出如下驚人之語 (PS 不知是她自己要這樣說 還是尼師在當真如/金的傳聲筒) 即尼師說“我們相信，通過耶穌 [我們]在世界上的這裡，他給人們帶來了很多積極的影響，” “在耶穌誕生日，它激勵了我們 為世界做更好的事情。這也是我們良好的練習。”
真是拍馬,拍到沒有一點立場了吧!
