SUMMARY:Monthly meeting
DESCRIPTION:We look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday\, April 21\, 3-5 pm for our next EASE Lab presentation and discussion session! \nJoin us in person at New College\, Wilson Hall\, Room 2007D – 40 Wilcocks Street \nOr online via zoom (https://utoronto.zoom.us/j/83454298467 | Meeting ID: 834 5429 8467 | Passcode: 723612) \nOpen to all students\, faculty\, and staff. Food and refreshments will be provided. \nThis month\, we feature the following presentations: \nDr. Henry Shiu: “Engaging the Heart Sūtra as a Resource for Buddhist Contemplative Care” \nHenry Shiu is the Shi Wu De Professor in Chinese Buddhism at the University of Toronto. He has a strong research interest in Mahāyāna Buddhism in India\, China and Tibet\, with particular emphasis on historical and doctrinal studies of the Madhyamaka and Yogācāra traditions. \nThis presentation engages the Heart Sūtra as a living text with practical relevance for contemporary contexts\, particularly in the domain of contemplative care. This interpretive approach is informed by the hermeneutical theory of Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768–1834) and shaped by\, and adapted from\, Tibetan Buddhist meditative traditions\, particularly the Dzogchen tradition. \nKyobin Hwang: “Illuminating the Culture of Medicine: Burnout and the Role of Applied Mindfulness Among Physicians Who Serve and Identify with Equity-Deserving Groups” \nGrounded in her interest in improving physician wellness\, Kyobin’s work explores how burnout is shaped by the culture of medicine\, particularly among physicians who serve and identify with equity-deserving communities. Through a qualitative study of a 5-week applied mindfulness program\, this project examines how intentional practices like reflection\, presence\, and self-compassion can help physicians navigate emotional strain\, systemic challenges\, and competing roles. Kyobin is a medical student at U of T.
