Tung Lin Kok Yuen and Buddhistdoor have produced a documentary series titled "Transmission and Succession of Buddhism," highlighting Tung Lin Kok Yuen's contributions to society and education over the years. The first episode focuses on our respected teacher Madam Susan Kong, detailing her dedication to studying and teaching Buddhism, along with her significant connection to Tung Lin Kok Yuen in Hong Kong and Vancouver.

The vastness and depth of Buddhist teachings make it challenging for beginners to understand and find suitable practices. To support everyone to learn the fundamental knowledge and practices of Buddhism, the Society in collaboration with TLKY in Hong Kong will offer an Introduction to Buddhism course online, we welcome individuals interested in connecting with the Triple Gems and studying Buddhism to register.

Date: From November 16, 2024, every Saturday (except for Jan. 4), for a total of 8 sessions.
Time: 09:30 to 11:00 AM

Please refer to the full year Dharma Activities Schedule.

On 11-13 October, TLKYCS conducted the Chung Yeung Festival Assembly to express our gratitude, dedicating the merits to the well-being of our present parents and the liberation of ancestors and close relatives from the suffering. The Dharma Assembly was solemn and sacred, and the congregation immersed in the joy of the Dharma.

On 19 October, the "sowing seeds in your mind" course was concluded. In preparation for the winter season, the instructor led participants in collecting fallen leaves and caring for planting boxes to create protective layers for the plants. Participants also learned how to assist plants in surviving the winter.

In the Leadership and Communication Skills Global Course (LCSG), we invited the Abbot Ven. Tsang Chit shared insights on the theme of "Decision Making," guiding participants to reflect on making the right choices in their daily lives and workplaces. He emphasized the importance of clarity and composure in decision-making, providing inspiration and guidance for future leadership and life direction.
