The Dharma Talk held on June 21, 2026, at Che Wan Temple was a full‑day journey of spiritual awakening, reflection, and community harmony. Participants immersed themselves in teachings that nurtured both heart and mind, guided by the wisdom of the Dharma and the spirit of compassion.

The morning began with a serene registration and preliminary program, setting a contemplative tone for the day. The highlight was the Dharma Talk by Ven. Dharma Master Jing Ping, who shared profound insights on “Buddhism in Action – A Teacher’s Handbook for Spiritual Well‑Being.” Her words reminded everyone that the Dharma is not merely a philosophy but a living practice—one that calls for mindfulness, kindness, and purposeful action in everyday life.

After a brief health break, the talk continued with deeper reflections on applying Buddhist principles to modern challenges, culminating in an engaging Q&A Forum where participants shared heartfelt questions and insights. The morning closed with a Dedication of Merit, offering gratitude and blessings to all beings.

As the afternoon unfolded, the program transitioned into a more interactive and community‑centered rhythm. The Afternoon Session opened with Teacher Joyce Rivera facilitating a meaningful discussion on “How to Manage Burnout and Compassion Fatigue.” This resonated deeply with educators and volunteers, emphasizing the importance of self‑care and balance in service.

The energy then shifted toward leadership and collaboration, culminating in the Election of Teacher Team Leader and Assistant Team Leads for the upcoming school year. The community joyfully affirmed Teacher Levi Cruz as Team Leader and Teacher Criselda Cimatu as Assistant Team Lead, embodying leadership grounded in mindfulness and cooperation.

The Dharma Talk Program was not merely an event—it was a living testament to the power of awareness, compassion, and purpose. As participants departed, hearts were lighter, minds clearer, and spirits renewed—ready to carry the teachings of the Dharma into their daily lives and communities.
