Exams Closing In - 2nd Week of YAD Study Marathon

On the 14th, 15th and 16th of November, Buddha’s Light International Association South Island Young Adult Division 2 members arrived at Fo Guang Shan South Island Temple for their second week of their study marathon.

As their exams are closing in, the youth diligently revised their school work, and utilized the Temple’s quiet and peaceful meeting room to focus their minds on the task at hand.

Their study sessions were filled with intermissions for afternoon tea and time to stretch and relax.

On Sunday, at the conclusion of their study marathon, the youth engaged in a laughter-filled session of watering the garden, where the 8 YAD members cooperated to water a vast area of Tussocks in the Temple’s carpark in a swift time of 15 minutes. The working bee was a chance for the youths to wind down and relax after a strenuous three days of study. Venerable Juexi wishes that all YAD members will do well during their exams, and that all their efforts in preparing for the exams will pay off.
