Prof Dr Freedom Y.K. Leung, Department of Psychology, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, says that Sakyamuni Buddha was probably the first psychologist in the current human history. In this sharing session, Sis Miyen will explore basic tenets of Buddhism that have many commonalities with modern psychology e.g. the four Brahma Viharas have become important modern psychological interventions like mindfulness and compassion-based therapies, gratitude practice, etc.
Dr. Eng-Kong Tan will be touching on the Buddhist, Psychological & Neuroscientific Aspects of Wisdom. Psychology is now clearer on what constitutes Wisdom. We can become wiser faster, especially going through difficult times. Together, our wings of Wisdom & Compassion can help us fly through difficult times from survival to living and flourishing.
