Ven. Sik Hin Hung, Senior Advisor in the Centre of Buddhist Studies, Chairman of the Committee of Master of Buddhist Counselling Programme, talks about his academic journey and Buddhist Studies Programme at HKU.

'HKU is now working on a new program for Buddhist chaplains, and I ask if they are essentially looking to train lamas, Master Hin Hung relies: “Yes, something like that. But we want to do it in a way that is systematic, academic, and has a good, solid foundation and some kind of ethical guidance.” Master Hin Hung aims to unabashedly present Buddhist psychology as it is, without feeling the need to dress it up as something that it is not.'
