Communication Skills and Dharma by Dr Eric Chan

The ANZBYC continued on 5th August with BLIA Lay Dharma Lecturer, Dr Eric Chan whom is also a senior lecturer of Medical Education in Griffith University, Queensland to give his talk. His session started with Applying Communication Skills through Dharma by having effective ways in communicating with parents, friends and others. He then continued his second session entitled, Coming Back to Life from Death.

A few main points were emphasised such as, intensify practice to create a win-win situation, to let other understand is to have oneself succeed in doing it first, and to have similarity does not mean to agree. Dr Chan has also shared communication skills and to speak with a finishing touch rather than just having sake of speaking out.

In Dr Eric Chan’s second session, Coming back to Life from Death, he has used group activities to give participants an understanding in the importance of overall health, sensibility, interpersonal relationships, life goals and vision, hobbies, personal growth, family and relatives. At the end of his session, he expressed that we all will not know when our life will end and there will be no short cut in practicing being good, it has to be done in in an honest and right way.

During the conference, finest British High Tea was prepared for the participants to enjoy. The delicious and carefully prepared meal touched everyone’s heart. The participants then had a meditation practice led by Venerable Juefang achieving a peace of mind in this busy day.
