The 115-1 semester is just around the corner! 📚✨
We have an exciting lineup of academic events planned for the new semester. To kick things off, we are delighted to present two guest lectures in English, bringing together scholars and students for stimulating discussions on Buddhism from different perspectives.
We warmly invite everyone to join us and take part in these academic exchanges!
And there is more to come—additional guest lectures and academic events are being planned throughout the semester. We will share the details as each event approaches.
Stay tuned, and we look forward to seeing you at Fo Guang University! 🌿
