Open SPACE 2020

Print

Thanks for your participation!

The OPEN SPACE 2020 has completed on 27 June. Hope to see you next year!

With the epidemic and the current unstable political situation, many people are feeling drained, irritable, tired and insecure. We start to forget that life can still be filled with little moments that give us happiness and joy, so you may need to find a little time for yourself to take a deep breath, calm down, and relax.

The Venerable Chang Lin, is the keynote speaker at the School’s virtual Open Day this year. He will walk you through some of the most important lessons in life by sharing the three basic steps of meditation and the techniques to use them. Meditation is not only defined by religious practices, it also plays a part in a process of self-discovery and empowerment, that leads you to better health, and sense of ease and freedom.

HKU SPACE is holding over 20 online talks on topics as varied as market trends, social science, professions, and life & health. Click HERE to view live stream links for all talks.

    • Dr Cheung Siu Nang Bruce, Head, College of Life Sciences and Technology, HKU SPACE

    Dr Cheung Siu Nang Bruce, Head, College of Life Sciences and Technology, HKU SPACE

    Dr Cheung Siu Nang Bruce (Xuanjue Acarya) is the Head of College of Life Sciences and Technology at the HKU School of Professional and Continuing Education, and Chairman of Chinese Wisdoms Society. Dr Cheung holds a PhD from the University of Hong Kong, and is an AI specialist by profession. In his younger days he studied in depth both Eastern and Western cultures, and was especially interested in the philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi, I-Ching (Book of Changes), metaphysics, Buddhist studies, qigong, and meditation. In the past 20 years, Dr Cheung devoted himself to Buddhist studies. He started with reading books of Buddhism, and studied different sutras and their expositions. He then moved on to Theravada Buddhism, the Pure Land school, the Esoteric school (Mizong), and the Zen school. His understanding and his praxis progress simultaneously, and he finally based them on Zen teachings. He understood thoroughly the marvelous truth of the bodhicitta (mind of enlightenment), and found its benefits to be boundless. He therefore vowed to carry on the wisdom life of the Buddha, and expounded the Zen school’s method to train the mind during meditation, so as to ‘attain Buddhahood on perceiving our Buddha-nature’. This purifies the heart and awakens both ourselves and others. The following is a series of books (in Chinese) by Dr Cheung on the sutras of the Zen school: The Platform Sutra and the Meditative Mind 《壇經禪心》, The Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra and the Buddha-mind 《楞伽佛心》, The Sutra of Perfect Enlightenment and the Meditative Mind 《圓覺禪心》, The Śūraṅgama Sūtra and the Meditative Mind 《楞嚴禪心》, Zen teachings in the Śūraṅgama Sūtra 《楞嚴禪觀》, The Vimalakirti Sutra and the Heart of Purity 《維摩清淨心》, and The Diamond Sutra and the Meditative Mind《金剛經禪心》.
