At the beginning of the last century, our founder Lady Clara and fellow pioneers preserved the wisdom of eminent Dharma masters through written works.

From early publications such as The Origin of Women’s Learning Buddhism and Travel Notes of Sacred Mountains to the Lin Kok collection and recent titles including An Introduction to Buddhism — The Chapter on Harmony and Respect and The Auspicious Sutra, each work reflects their compassionate aspiration to spread the Dharma and benefit all beings.
Continuing this century-long legacy, the Tung Lin Kok Yuen Digital Library is now officially launched, bringing these precious teachings to readers worldwide.

The Contemplation Sutra Dharma talks have concluded. We are deeply grateful to Lay Buddhist practitioner Alan for his compassionate sharing, and to our volunteers for their support and translation assistance.
May the teachings strengthen our faith and vows, inspire diligent practice, and deepen our connection with the Pure Land Dharma. We look forward to seeing you at our future Dharma programmes.

The “Introduction to Spiritual Care” course has concluded, with the final sessions focusing on caring for the critically ill and supporting people through ageing.
Participants received a Buddhist spiritual care book to deepen their learning. The practical sessions will run from September to December, putting compassion and wisdom into practice.

“Where the mind is pure, the Buddha-land is pure.” — Vimalakīrti Nirdeśa Sūtra A pure mind, free from attachment and grounded in compassion and equanimity, transforms how we experience the world. True practice begins with awakening and purifying the mind. In August, Dharma Ven. Chuan Wai led our Monthly Chan & Pure Land Practice through prostrations, meditation, walking meditation, and tea meditation, offering participants a quiet space to settle the mind and cultivate inner clarity.

The Children’s Performing Arts Programme concluded with drama, charcoal drawing, Tai Chi, and other activities that encouraged learning, creativity, and friendship. Parents also took part in a paper-cutting activity, fostering family connection.
The programme concluded with prostrations and meditation, cultivating mindfulness and reverence through Buddhist practice.
We are grateful to the Dharma Master and volunteers for their support, and look forward to welcoming the children again this winter.

As the summer heat fades, the “Sowing seed in your mind” programme approaches its final sessions.
In the Ploughing the Field Sutta of the Saṃyukta Āgama, the Buddha uses farming as a metaphor for spiritual cultivation: faith is the seed, wisdom the plough, mindfulness the reins, and diligence the ox.
With steadfast practice, we cultivate the mind and move towards liberation. Inspired by the Buddha’s teaching, the Brahmin developed deep faith, renounced worldly life, and attained arahantship.

The seventh LCSG session featured renowned designer and contemporary artist Anothermountainman, who shared insights on “Shifting Perspective,” exploring the intersection of art, culture, and life experience, and how Buddhist teachings can inspire creativity and new perspectives. Through engaging discussions with in-person and online participants, the session encouraged fresh ways of seeing and thinking, inspiring new possibilities through a shift in perspective.

The Robert H. N. Ho Memorial Lecture will be an annual event paying tribute to the life and legacy of a great Buddhist philanthropist
