Late 中秋节快乐 everyone 🥳 Thanks for attending the session yesterday! While we always try to look for answers for complex questions, it may be the simple questions that are the most important yet hard to answer. We hope Dr Marn's talk yesterday has provided you more wisdom on this! Just like what the Dalai Lama has shared, we should not practise Buddhism with blind faith but by investigating and proper understanding!

Hey everyone, no session for the next 2 weeks. See you on the 27th for a sharing with Dr Charles!
