"The structure and teaching of the Diamond Sutra: re-reading insight after 30 years."
Tung Lin Kok Yuen, Canada Society’s “Be Well” lecture series is pleased to welcome Venerable Sik Hin Hung for a lecture titled “The structure and teaching of the Diamond Sutra: re-reading insight after 30 years.” Venerable Hin Hung’s journey with teaching the Diamond Sutra began 30 years ago, igniting a lifelong exploration of its wisdom through research, practice, and teaching. Drawing on his recent reflections and insights, Venerable Hin Hung will offer a clear and accessible exploration of the Sutra’s core teachings, emphasizing the concept of dependent arising. Through this Sutra, participants will gain deeper understanding of non-attachment, appreciate the spirit of Bodhisattva’s compassionate acts, enter into the path of happiness.
Dialogue on Buddhist Counselling
Buddhist Counselling is an emerging field of practice and study. Ven. Hin Hung established the Master of Buddhist Counselling Program in 2018 at the University of Hong Kong, published some groundbreaking research articles on academic journals, and pioneered a few initiatives to establish Buddhist Counselling as a well-recognized profession. The Society is honored to invite Ven. Hin Hung to share his journey and vision of Buddhist Counselling in the future. Panelists including Ven. Wai Leung, Dr. Ernest Ng and Dr. Venus Wong will also discuss their experience in serving communities at the Universities and healthcare institutions in Canada.
