Remember our public lecture tonight. It is part of the celebration series of the local Franciscan Order for the 800th anniversary of the death of St. Francis of Assisi and for the special Franciscan Jubilee Year proclaimed by Pope Leo XIV. Don't miss it!

🌉 East meets West. Zen meets Franciscan wisdom.
🕯️ Two medieval masters—one Catholic, one Buddhist—one question: How can spiritual life deeply integrate with intellectual life?　

Join us for The Catholic Tradition Lecture Series No.6:

📖 Integrating Spiritual and Intellectual Life: A Comparative Study of St. Bonaventure & Seon Master Chinul

🎤 Speaker: Yongho Francis Lee, OFM, bridges his “old home” (Buddhist roots) and “adopted home” (Christian faith) into a new spiritual vision. Don’t miss this rare comparative theology dialogue.

🔁 Tag a friend who loves interfaith dialogue, medieval thought, or Franciscan spirituality.

講座快開始了

講者Leo Lefebure教授認為，我們現在所面對的生態危機，猶如處於平靜的河段，水流尚未湍急，卻即將奔騰而下，墜入瀑布，而佛教天台宗智顗大師（538-597年）的「止」與「觀」修行智慧，對我們應對此問題具有特殊意義。但教宗方濟各的生態呼籲與中國宗教傳統（佛教、儒家和道家）智慧之間的跨宗教和跨文化對話，以及相互關聯，對「止觀」又帶來甚麼挑戰？想知更多，請即報名4月27日晚的講座
