Join Ven. Miao Guang to explore how Humanistic Buddhism bridges the gap between transcendence and humanity, faith and reason, individual growth and collective well-being.Humanistic Buddhism offers a modern path that bridges spirituality and daily life—a Middle Way between humans and religion. Rooted in the Buddha's teachings and reinterpreted by Venerable Master Hsing Yun, it reminds us that compassion, wisdom, and awakening are not beyond the world but are realised through our relationships, actions, and shared humanity.
This event is intended for anyone interested in Buddhism and Chinese culture, as well as for those from diverse religious backgrounds seeking to deepen their understanding of religious truth through cross-cultural and interreligious dialogue. It warmly welcomes students, professors, staff, scholars, and members of the wider public both within and beyond the University of Toronto.
