How did the Life Expedition Program begin?
This program is the result of a catch-up chat between two Buddhist friends. Remembering how they have benefited from Dharma as a youth, they aspire to have an online program to share Dharma with young people around the world. Hoping that there can be an online community where one can be inspired and encouraged each to share, learn and practice.
What is a captain of an expedition?
It is similar to a study group leader.
What are we exploring, seriously?
Anything in life and nothing is taboo. We will discuss various topics, from personal issues such as studies and standing up to bullies, careers and office politics, relationships, friendships, kinships, mentorships, money, personal well-being, sex, romance, love, childcare, etc. All the important milestones in life that we find meaning in.
Who is this program for?
Our program is designed for young people (18 to 30 years old) to discover the wisdom of Buddha's words through the lens of our modern world. We hope to share the Buddha's messages in a simple, systematic, modern, and practical way. Besides learning some Buddhist knowledge, we also seek to connect people from all over the world.
