ONLINE — Thriving from Within, Flourishing with Others

​Can Chan (Chinese Zen) philosophy help you thrive from within and flourish with others?

​In this talk and Q&A, Dr. Peter Lin will build upon his previous insights (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3) to delve deeper into the art of personal thriving. By drawing on the timeless wisdom of Chan (Chinese Zen) philosophy, we will uncover ways to achieve inner peace, purpose, and resilience. Furthermore, we will explore how this inner fulfillment can extend beyond ourselves, enriching our relationships and fostering deeper connections with those around us. Join us on this journey of balance, mindfulness, and the profound potential for growth within and among us.

​We are looking forward to have a fun and practical Dharma talk session with you.
