Lecture #1 (in English): Human Values in the Hi-tech World
As society becomes more virtual and computerized, human values seem
to be progressively eroded. What wisdom does our study of the
Dharma give us that helps make sense of the crisis in human values
facing developed and developing societies. Do “ancient
technologies” of meditation and wisdom provide insights that...
could guide our steps to meet the current crisis?

Lecture #2 (in English): Healing our Minds: Buddhism and
Stress
Do we understand the Four Noble Truths as the Buddha taught them?
Should we understand “dukkha” as suffering or as stress or as
dissatisfaction? This lecture will attempt to update familiar
Buddhist terminology for the 21st century, making use of the
vocabulary of psychology and the insights of meditation. The goal
is to empower meditators to heal the mind using a fresh perspective
on ancient methods.

Lecture # 3 (in English & Mandarin): The Path of Awakening
觉醒之路
Follow the Buddha by becoming a good person. When our humanity is
perfected, Buddhahood accomplishes itself. To learn from the
Buddha, first become a good person. When humanhood reaches
perfection, Buddhahood accomplishes itself. The Lecture will focus
on insights of the Mahayana Buddhist practice, particularly the
principles of filiality and fraternity, (孝与悌) to inspire
individuals to make the Resolve for Bodhi (bodhicitta).
