Friendship Week

To be loved is a beautiful thing, but to give love – that’s an even more glorious act!

A Night Of Musical 2.0: Stargazing By the Bow

On the 4th of August, Sunway University Buddhist Society held a musical entitled Stargazing By the Bow. The musical revolves around the teachings of Buddha, more specifically the mantra: 面对它,接受它,处理它,放下它, which translates to face it, accept it, deal with it and let go of it.
