🌍【Event Highlights】
🔹HYI Alumni Workshop 2025｜Translation of the Sacred and Mystical Texts in Interfaith Dialogue🔹
📍The Chinese University of Hong Kong｜June 6–7, 2025

🔍 The workshop emphasized that “translation is not merely linguistic—it is a key practice for religious understanding and cross-cultural dialogue.”

We are deeply grateful to all participating scholars for their thought-provoking presentations and generous intellectual engagement. The conversations were rich, inspiring, and filled with moments of genuine exchange across disciplines, traditions, and worldviews. Their contributions will continue to resonate as we reflect on the roles of translation in cross-cultural and inter-religious understanding.
