Re: Dr. Haiyan Shen - The Relevance of Tiantai Buddhism in Modern Time
It was a nice introductory lecture on the Tiantai thought; sadly, there was no more time for Dr. Shen to elaborate on certain points.
Also, the lecture has been recorded. I am not sure if the organizers will share the recording with the public.

Oh, I missed this.
I hope they make the recording available. I've admired her work for a while. She authored the most complete English summary of the Fahua Hsuan-i. Short of a translation, this is the best we have.

Those who, even with distracted minds,
Entered a stupa compound
And chanted but once, “Namo Buddhaya!”
Have certainly attained the path of the buddhas.
-Lotus Sutra, Upaya Chapter
純一実相。実相外。更無別法。法性寂然名止。寂而常渉照名観。
There is only reality; there is nothing separate from reality. The naturally tranquil nature of dharmas is shamatha. The abiding luminosity of tranquility is vipashyana.
