Past Activities
Perception of Death and Funeral Rites of Different Religions
| Date & Time: | 2026/9/6 (Sunday) 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. |
| Venue: | Hong Kong Central Library (Lecture Theatre, G/F) |
| Description: | Religion often serves as a spiritual anchor for people amid life's turbulent waves. By exploring how different religions perceive death, this session examines the core meaning of funeral rites, approaches to a “good death” and ways to mourn for the departed. It also reflects on how modern society can uphold respect for life and offer comfort to the soul. |
Green Burial
| Date & Time: | 2026/8/15 (Saturday) 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. |
| Venue: | Hong Kong Central Library (Lecture Theatre, G/F) |
| Description: | Life is full of uncertainty. Planning one's after-death arrangements in advance helps minimise regret and brings peace of mind to the individual and family members. In recent years, public awareness of green burial has risen. The speaker will share the philosophy and practical arrangements of green burial, offering the public an alternative when planning for life's final journey. |
