To promote professional training in spiritual care and psychospiritual therapy, the Society establishes a scholarship for Buddhist clergies currently enrolled in accredited courses by Canadian Association for Spiritual Care (CASC/ACSS) or other courses approved by TLKYCS.

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.*
