Life is far from the perfection we want it to be. We should see life in its proper perspective. Even if misfortunes or calamities were to affect us, we should not lose hope or adopt a pessimistic and fatalistic view of life.
The Buddha had taught us that we can indeed remain happy in the midst of misfortunes or “when things fall apart” if we understand how our mind works and apply techniques to calm it.
Join us in the World Buddhist Conference 2010 this coming September! You will learn how Buddhism teaches us to live our lives in peace and harmony with ourselves, with our friends, and with nature.
Speakers
This Conference will be graced by the presence of the world-renown Vietnamese Buddhist monk, author, poet, and peace activist Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh. Considered as one of the most influential Buddhist teachers in the world today, Venerable has written well over 85 titles of accessible poems, prose, and prayers, with more than 40 in English. He will speak on the theme of the Conference which is “Living in Harmony: When Things Fall Apart”.
The line-up of speakers includes Venerable Wei Wu, Venerable Tenzin Zopa, Dr Joan Halifaz, Venerable Tejadhamma, Dr David Loy, Venerable Thubten Chodron, Dr Tan Eng Kong and Anchalee Kurutach.
