Integrated Buddhist teachings into the examination syllabuses in Hong Kong

Madam Kong had begun her studies in Buddhist sutras since she was 13, and was a Cantonese translator for numerous renowned Chinese Buddhist masters, such as Venerable Hsu Yun, Venerable Tan Xu, Venerable Ding Sai and Venerable Sai Chun, etc. after WWII, pivotal to spreading Buddhist dharma teachings in Hong Kong.

Since Po Kok Free School has extended the curriculum to senior secondary levels on 1956, Sir Man-kam Lo and Madam Ling Chung Lam reckoned that Buddhist Studies should be one of the elective subjects in the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE). Therefore, they invited Madam Kong to develop the content and structure of the syllabus, as well as the Buddhist textbook to support this initiative. Eventually, Buddhist Studies was listed as one of the elective subjects in the HKCEE in 1960.

Madam Kong has been living in Canada since the establishment of Tung Lin Kok Yuen, Canada Society and was invited by Mr. Robert H. N. Ho to serve as a Director. Until now, she continues to teach Buddhism through lectures, talks and publications.
