来去自如，与生死跳探戈 Facing Death: The Joy of Letting Go
传说中，[死亡]和[活着]是双胞胎。
死亡：你就好呢！大家都很喜欢你，都害怕我！
活着：你以为罢了！大家表面上喜欢我，其实大部分的人们都不了解我啊！
死亡：哈哈哈！要真正的懂你，首先要勇敢地面对我，那需要多大的勇气啊！
活着：先面对你，才能开始[省思]活着的意义，不然就只能吊儿郎当地拥有着我！
死亡：如果他们都能珍惜你，并能好好地拥有着你，其实他们就会开始不害怕我了！
活着：是啊！是啊！面对[死亡], 就会开始懂得[活着]；好好[活着], 就会减少[死亡]的恐惧啊！
死亡：可是他们都不懂啊！什么学分和什么事情都学了，却忘记学习[生死]。
活着 ：不要紧啊！他们在生命结束前，你就吓一吓他们。
死亡：哈哈哈！肯定可以吓坏他们！！！如果他们懂得活着和面对死亡，他们就能[来去自如]了，那里还会怕我啊！
[死亡]和[活着] 说到这里，彼此相视而笑。
学习面对 [死亡] 与了解 [活着] ，是所有人生命的功课。
如果我们愿意修这科[生死]的学分，那我们面对生命的挑战和死亡时，会有多一份省思和安然自在。
在生死议题中[来去自如]，是我们的向往， [ 与生死跳探戈 ] ， 是我们这辈子的功课。
让曾广志博士陪你一起修 [生死]学分，学习在生活中[ 来去自如 ] ， [ 与生死跳探戈 ]

“福建王”与“客家后”：两大家族的跨域婚姻、政商网络及国族认同
摘要：本演讲是透过20世纪初荷属印尼棉兰之张家与台湾板桥林家这两大家族的联姻关系，来讨论有关东南亚—台湾—闽粤的互动关係及政商网络。新娘张福英是棉兰玛腰(Major)张鸿南的长女，新郎林景仁是迁居鼓浪屿的台湾首富家族名人林尔嘉的长子。这两大家族不只在地理上隔着一个辽阔的南中国海，也分属不同的方言群。那么，张林姻缘是如何产生？“闽南王”和“客家后”称呼的来源？ 跨地域的政商网络在这两大家族的婚姻中扮演何种角色？族群和地域背景如何影响林景仁和张福英的婚姻生活、事业抉择和国族认同？

"中元节及盂兰盆节的时空变异：马来西亚和日本的习俗比较
Variation of Zhongyuan Festival and Obon Festival: Comparison of Customs in Malaysia and Japan"
Zhongyuan is the cultural heritage of Chinese in Southeast Asia. Whether you walk in China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand or Malaysia, you will see "ghost fire" (incense) and hear ghost stories. In view of the characteristics of the three-combination of monk, Taoism and customs, the customs of Zhongyuan also diversified. It is not only the festival of ghosts, but also the Yulan festival of Taoism and Buddhism.
The Yulan Festival was introduced to Japan from China in the Sui and Tang Dynasties during the Asuka era. It is commonly known as "Open" (Japanese: Obon), short for Obon. It takes place from July 13th to 16th in the city and from August 13th to 16th in the countryside. Sweep the tomb on the 13th, pick up the ghosts of the ancestor on the 13th, and send it on the 16th. There is also the habit of giving gifts, in folk customs, people gather to dance a dance called "Pen Po".
The Japanese attach great importance to the Obon Festival and it has become an important holiday second only to New Year's Day. Companies and companies generally have a holiday for about a week, which is called the "pen holiday". Many Japanese who go out to work are choosing to use this holiday. Returning home to reunite to worship the ancestors. At this time, the streets of big cities (such as Tokyo, Osaka, etc.) are often deserted, a bit similar to the Chinese Ching Ming Festival.

A Psychological Perspective on Overcoming Challenges Faced by Organisations During & After Pandemic
The outbreak of coronavirus disease has created a huge impact all over the world and it is still an ongoing crisis which has no concrete signs of stabilization at the moment. It started as a global health crisis but developed into a devastating economic collapse in a very short period of time. The onset of this crisis also has damaging effects on the people and organizations as it has increased stress due to work from home initiatives, reduction of pay, lack of resources and support, layoffs and so forth. It had a deep impact on employee’s well-being and affected businesses intensely in terms of cost and sustainability. How to minimize the impact of this crisis on organizational performance, sustainability and most importantly, on employees? These are the main issues of concern for every leader in organizations. Looking after business is very crucial, yet taking care of the main resource for its success, the people at work, is of utmost importance and highly regarded. We are slowly getting back to business and implementing various solutions but, how are we going to cope with the current changes? What are the potential issues concerned with employers and employees once we have come out of this challenging situation? Discover the possible options for these ongoing questions by joining our sharing session.
