Our monthly meditation invites you to pause, sit, and return to the simplicity of the present moment.

There is no goal to achieve. No struggle to resolve. Only the gentle act of sitting with yourself—breathing, noticing, allowing. When the mind quiets, the world becomes clearer.

This session welcomes both newcomers and seasoned practitioners. Come as you are, and rest in the stillness that is already within you.

In our Sowing Seeds in Your Mind gardening series, participants are guided by agricultural professionals to engage with nature through sustainable and mindful cultivation. The program also integrates ecological awareness with Buddhist precepts, nurturing a sense of care, interconnection, and gratitude.
Through hands-on learning and observation of the natural cycles, we uncover the teachings of interdependence and impermanence — not only in the garden, but in life.

The Society and Fa Yue Buddhist Monastery continue Leadership and Communication Skills Global (LCSG) program, inviting speakers from diverse backgrounds to share their insights, promoting youth self-development, leadership, and communication skills. Semester 2 will starts from July.
Course schedule: Every first Saturday of the month 9:15 to 11:15 a.m.*
* Vancouver time above.

On June 21, TLKYCS held the Monthly Meditation Practice, led by Venerable Hui Tong. Participants engaged in bowing, Dharma talks, walking meditation, and sitting meditation. Through the "Six Dharma Gates to the Sublime" method, the Venerable guided everyone to harmonize body and mind and find presence in every movement.
📅 Next Meditation Session:🗓 July 19, 10:00 AM

In the fifth session of the Leadership and Communication Skills for Global (LCSG) course, we were honored to have Dr. Chiu share on the topic of “The Presentation of Dependent Origination, the Web of Karma, and the Spirit of Bodhisattva.” All phenomena are not independent but interdependent and mutually conditioned, illustrating that existence itself is connection.

Since April, Tung Lin Kok Yuen has been offering the 2025 Sowing Seeds in Your Mind course. Combining hands-on practice with theoretical learning, the instructor guides participants in developing organic farming techniques while reflecting on the relationship between natural ecosystems and sustainable development.

On 28 June, we held the monthly online meet-ups for the UBC participants from the university community.
During the summer break from May to Aug., the monthly meet-ups will continue online, please register via email at [email protected].
