The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK)’s “President’s Chatroom” is honoured to invite Venerable Professor K L Dhammajoti, Dr Stephen Suen, and Dr Eliza Fok as guest speakers to share their insights on the Abhidharmakośabhāṣya (AKB). Authored by the influential Indian Buddhist philosopher Vasubandhu, the AKB is a comprehensive compilation of the doctrines of early Buddhist schools. Known also as the “Treatise of Intelligence”, it has two ancient translations: one by Paramārtha from the Southern Liang Dynasty and another by Xuanzang from the Tang Dynasty.
The AKB has had a profound impact on both Eastern and Western philosophy, science and cultural development, as well as on personal enlightenment. The speakers will explore the AKB and reflect on life experiences, sharing the wisdom they gained from the Buddha’s teachings. The event will also introduce the translation and publication project of the AKB led by HSUHK’s Research Centre for Translation of Buddhist Texts.
