Buddhism in the Modern World

Buddhism in the Modern World

Tommy Boggs, an experienced Buddhist teacher from Denmark, will be visiting Hong Kong to give a talk about Buddhism in the Modern World.

In each culture, the teachings of the Buddha find the form that suits them best. One can compare them to a diamond: on a red cloth it shines red, on a blue cloth it looks blue; regardless, the diamond itself remains the same. Without losing their essence, the teachings of the Buddha have adapted to the cultural conditions of different societies and times and are as relevant today as they were 2,500 years ago.

Today, in our modern societies, the timeless view of the Diamond Way (skt. Vajrayana) and its methods are more and more appealing to educated and independent people around the world. This talk will explore how we can use these methods in our daily lives.

Date / time: Tuesday 25th November / 8pm

Venue: The Fringe Club (2nd floor, Fringe fotogalerie), 2 Lower Albert Road, Central

Cost: HK$60 / HK$30 for concessions

There will be an opportunity to ask any questions you may have, and take part in a guided meditation.

All are welcome!

EV Battery Swapping: Modern Problems Required Modern Solution
Battery swapping for electric vehicles (EVs) is a process that allows an EV's exhausted battery or battery pack to be instantly exchanged for a fully charged one, removing the need to wait for the vehicle's battery to recharge. With each battery switch taking below 10 minutes and requiring significantly less installation area than charging stations, battery swapping stations provide a more expedient solution to the problem of range anxiety.
