TLKYCS will host the "Pure Lotus Lamp" workshop in July. We respectfully invite Venerable Chi Bun to lead us in using velvet strips to create exquisite lotus lanterns. The lotus, which grows in the mud and blooms above the water, symbolizes the transition from afflictions to purity, embodying the concept of remaining untainted despite growing in a muddy environment. Through this course, participants can understand the pure and unblemished nature of life, finding serenity and bright happiness in tranquility.

TLKYCS will organize “Sowing seeds in your mind” gardening courses and invites experienced farmer as instructors. Let the students put their body and mind on nature and learn the knowledge of sustainable development and ecology. In the process of planting, students can also extend the five mindfulness training of Buddhism to our moral relationship with ecology, nurture a sense of gratitude, and understand the wisdom of dependent arising by observing the process and results of planting.

The Great Assembly to Benefit All Beings in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Society concluded successfully on June 9th. The seven-day Dharma assembly was led by the Abbot, along with Venerables and the public. Each morning, they performed rituals to resolve grievances and recited the Twelve Great Vows, while in the afternoons, they conducted the Yogacara offering (Yankou) ceremony in either the Dinghu Mountain or Baohua Mountain tradition.

On the morning of June 9th, the Abbot Venerable Tsang Chit presided over the Three Treasures Offering Ceremony. Over a hundred devotees, community members, and guests, along with auspicious lions, dragons, and a procession of faithful followers, participated in the grand offering ceremony led by Venerable Hin Hung. Following this, a celebration for the 30th anniversary was held at noon, wishing for the continued flourishing of Buddhism and the turning of the Dharma wheel. Guests, devotees, and volunteers from both local and overseas contributed to the success of this grand event.

On June 15th and 16th, the Society hosted "The Structure and Teaching of the Diamond Sutra" by Venerable Hin Hung. The event attracted over a hundred participants both in-person and online. Venerable Hin Hung reflected on his first teachings of the Diamond Sutra from thirty years ago and shared his deepened understanding of its core content, structure, and practice over the years. In his lectures, he emphasized the spirit and practice of the Bodhisattva path, guiding attendees toward learning and practicing to achieve happiness and liberation.

The Society hosted the “Be Well" lecture series on Saturday morning, we were honored to invited Ven. Hin Hung to share his journey and vision for the future. Panelists, including Ven. Wai Leung, Ernest, and Venus, had also discussed their experiences in serving communities at universities and healthcare institutions in Canada.

In the "Sowing Seeds in Your Mind" classes held on June 15 and 29, participants recently harvested and tasted the crops they cultivated, noting the various flavors, while also gaining insight into the wisdom of dependent origination through observing the cultivation process and its outcomes.
