A Note of Gratitude
Reported by: Upama Mutsuddy (IBC graduate)
When I first went to International Buddhist College (IBC), Thailand, from Bangladesh, I did not anticipate how much the place would change my life. Now, as I work on my Master’s degree at Fo Guang University in Taiwan, I can see clearly how much of what I am today started at IBC.

At IBC, my teachers helped me in many ways, not only on how to study and think carefully, but also with personal guidance and care. They were always ready to answer questions, give advice and encourage me when things were difficult. Living in the dormitory also taught me a lot. It gave me discipline and daily routine, waking up on time, managing my studies and daily life together, and learning to be responsible on my own. These small habits from dormitory life have stayed with me and still help me today.

In reality, IBC gave me more than academic knowledge. It also helped me grow as a person. Living and studying in that community taught me patience, it taught me that learning is not just about grades, it is also a way of practicing mindfulness and self-growth.

The 19th Convocation Ceremony of International Buddhist College (IBC)
The International Buddhist College held its 19th Convocation on 13 September 2026 (Sunday) at the IBC Auditorium Hall at 1:00 p.m. (Thai time). After some announcements made by the emcee in English and Chinese, the auspicious event began with the striking of drums and bells. Soon after, the procession of Academic Staff and Graduands entered the hall.

This year, many distinguished guests and their family members attended the grand graduation ceremony. The ceremony began with a speech by the Chairman of the IBC Council, the Most Venerable Dr. Wei Wu.

Venerable Dr. Wei Wu congratulated the newly promoted Assistant Professors, Dr. Lang Heping (Fa Qing) and Dr. Ooi Eng Jin, for their achievements. Besides that, the Council Chairman extended his best wishes and congratulations to all graduates. He hopes that the IBC alumni can help to promote IBC so that more students can be recruited in the future. Before ending his speech, the Council Chairman thanked all supporters who have contributed to IBC in one way or another.

Subsequently, the Rector of IBC, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dharmavardhana Jñānagarbha delivered his speech.
“॥ नमो बुद्धाय ॥
धर्मरूपशरीराभ्यां बोधिमण्डाम्बरोदितः ।
जगत्स्फरति सर्वज्ञदिनकृज्ज्ञानरश्मिभिः ॥

|| namo buddhāya ||

dharmarūpaśarīrābhyāṁ bodhimaṇḍāmbaroditaḥ |
jagat spharati sarvajñadinakr̥j jñānaraśmibhiḥ ||

Ratnagotravibhāga 4.61

Homage to the Buddha!
With the Dharma-body and the Form-body,
Arisen in the sky of the essence of Awakening,
The sun that is the Omniscient One
Pervades the world with rays of awareness.

This verse compares the Buddha to the sun (here called more precisely “the maker of the day”), a common simile in Buddhist praises. The verse is from the foundational treatise on Buddha-nature, and thus its context is that of Mahāyāna thought. I will offer an initial interpretation that is meant to align more closely with such context.

The Dharma-body of a Buddha can be understood as his empty nature, inconceivable and not something to be possibly perceived. The Form-body, on the other hand, is the aspect of appearance, what sentient beings can perceive, admire, and receive teachings from. Awakening is itself compared to the sky, as it has no centre or circumference - it is ungraspable. The Buddha arises with the two bodies in the sky of awakening, and then, like the sun, he pervades the whole world with his rays of awareness. The word that I have translated as “awareness” is jñāna, which here refers to an awareness that is free of concepts, unobstructed, and unattached to anything. The same term has also been translated as “primordial wisdom” (partly due to the Tibetan rendering ye shes), and “gnosis.” In the context of Buddhist training, it refers to the pinnacle of the third type of wisdom, in the progression of wisdom from listening, from reflection, and from meditation.”

The Honorable Rector then conferred the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Master of Arts (M.A.), and Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degrees.
Asst. Prof. Dr. Fa Qing, Dean of the Graduate School, read out the list of names of Ph.D. and M.A. graduands; while Asst. Prof. Dr. Ooi Eng Jin, Dean of the Faculty of Buddhist Studies, read out the names of BA graduands.

Speeches of appreciation were delivered by Usha Chakma in English and Khoo Poh Ghiok (Sayalay Obhasi) in Chinese, respectively.

The ceremony continued with the IBC Recognition Ceremony for Newly Promoted Assistant Professors, Asst. Prof. Dr. Lang Heping (Fa Qing), Dean of the Graduate School, and Asst. Prof. Dr. Ooi Eng Jin, Dean of the Faculty of Buddhist Studies, on successfully passing the Academic Ranking Evaluation and their promotion to Assistant Professors.

Next, it was a memorable moment to have the Rector of IBC, Assoc. Professor Dr. Dharmavardhana Jñānagarbha, sign off on the “Register of Graduates”. The convocation ceremony ended with the IBC Theme Song “For The Good of The Many”. This was followed by a group photo session, and refreshments were also served.

We are immensely proud to announce that Dr. Ooi Eng Jin, Dean of the Faculty of Buddhist Studies at the International Buddhist College (IBC), Thailand, has been invited by the Pali Text Society (PTS) to deliver the 2026 I. B. Horner Memorial Lecture at the University of Oxford.
"It is indeed an honour to be given the privilege of delivering the I. B. Horner Memorial Lecture. Horner's scholarly works have been the foundation of my own research." — Dr. Ooi Eng Jin

About the Lecture
According to the Pali Text Society, the lecture offers an initial comparative study of the Milindapañha palm-leaf traditions from Thailand, centred on the Pubbayoga, revealing "a complex, multilayered interweaving of texts, redactors' innovations, and the complementary roles" these versions played in the wider literary tradition.

Reflection on the English Training Workshop
Reported by: Usha Chakma
From August 15 to 16, 2026, thirteen participants gathered at Than Hsiang Temple in Penang, Malaysia, to develop the Scheme of Work (SOW) for the upcoming English Language Certificate Course, scheduled to begin in January 2027. The workshop was facilitated by Mdm. Lim Wai Lee, a retired Vice-Principal (Academic) from Singapore with 26 years of teaching experiences.
On the first day, we had the wonderful opportunity to hear encouraging words from IBC founder, Ven. Dr. Wei Wu, and all the members were deeply touched to receive thoughtful gifts from him.

The two-day workshop focused on practical, student-centered approaches to teaching adult learners. Grounded in the principles of andragogy, we discussed how adult learners are self-directed and benefit from integrating their prior life experiences to solve real-world problems. We practiced aligning our curriculum map to the desired learning outcomes of the course. To build reading automaticity and fluency without frustration, we learned to keep reading materials at a comprehensible level (I + 1) with a strict five-difficult-word limit, selecting materials that match our students’ cultural backgrounds. Besides that, we studied ways to lower the “affective filter” - the anxiety and fear of making mistakes that can hinder language learning. Working in groups of three with rotating roles (Presenter, Note-taker, and Leader), we practiced collaborative work skills and used strategies like dictogloss, the Cornell Note-Taking System, and “Echo and Add” to develop lesson templates, for example, the first weekly unit, “All About Me,” tailored for South Asian adult learners.

As a beginning educator working alongside experienced professionals, I was initially a little apprehensive about my ability to contribute. However, the collaborative nature of the workshop gradually helped me become more confident. One memorable moment came on the second day when Mdm. Lim unexpectedly lost her voice. The participants then took greater responsibility for presenting the materials and leading the discussions. This unexpected situation gave us a valuable opportunity to practice flexibility, teamwork, and active participation.

The sessions concluded with structured, mindful reflection exercises using the “2 Stars and a Wish” and “Rose, Thorn, and Bud” frameworks to evaluate our learning progress. The workshop was a valuable step in our preparation for the new program. I gained a clearer understanding of lesson planning for adult learners and the importance of creating a supportive learning environment.
