On 27 October, Fo Guang Shan Nan Tien Temple hosted the third annual “Nan Tien Wellness Day”, attracting 350 community members with over 1,000 visits—80% of whom were Western participants. The event combined a Medicine Buddha Dharma Service with a series of workshops, including Meditation, Tai Chi, Calligraphy, Rhythmic Drumming, and Chanting and Healing Workshop among over a dozen activities. Participants wore blue attire, aligning with the blue colour that Medicine Buddha is known for. 

Venerable Miao You of Nan Tien Temple delivered a talk on the ways and purposes of mindful living in English, guiding participants to experience “Five Contemplations During Meals” as a practice of mindful eating. The temple provided a vegetarian lunch and a take-home Mindful Eating Guide, encouraging attendees to integrate Buddhist cultivation into their daily lives.
