Venerable Jue Wei
The global impact of Covid-19 has been profound.  This interruption has offered humanity an opportunity to reflect on what we have been invited to learn.  Reviewing the wisdom in the Perfection of Wisdom (prajñāpāramitā) literature and the accomplishments of Venerable Master Hsing Yun in the past few decades, Venerable hopes to demonstrate how Buddhist wisdom may contribute towards dismantling the constructed and improving our understanding of the true nature of our experiences.  She will then discuss our intrinsic ability to leverage the power of communities in the face of vulnerabilities.
