In line with Venerable Master Hsing Yun's vision of "peace and happiness for all" and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, HYEF co-hosted the 2025 Buddha's Birthday Festival Sydney VegRun with the Pure Green Foundation on 3 May at Darling Harbour. Themed "Run for Health, Run for Happiness," the event drew over 300 participants and aimed to raise awareness of physical and mental well-being. All proceeds were donated to the Black Dog Institute and Lifeline Australia to support mental health research and crisis support, embodying the spirit of Buddhist compassion and fostering a more caring, inclusive society.
