「同理心與空性」: 無盡的同理心
**普及禪修課程 見道法師及善淨法師主講**
**每堂課為獨立單元,不需報名,歡迎大家參加。**
「正如我想要離苦得樂,所有眾生也是這樣。以此觀點看來,我與眾生並無分別。」 《新禪修手冊》
我們有能力去放下自我中心的世界觀,以及體諒別人的經歷。這種能力又稱為慈悲心,對於我們在生命中尋找滿足與意義是至關重要的。此外,佛陀對空性 - 事物的真正本質的教學亦幫助我們化解自己與他人之間的隔閡,不讓我們感覺孤立、自我、跟其他眾生疏離。
修習自他相換這個不平凡的禪修,將空性和同理心互相結合,我們便會由心底經驗這種顛覆性的智慧。邀請你一起來探索這些想法,學習如何實際地提昇放下庸常自我的經驗,並且擁抱藉由跟他人產生共鳴和互通而帶來的溫暖和喜悅。

Computer Vision Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
AWS UG Hong Kong x AgentCon Hong Kong
We’re excited to partner with AgentCon Hong Kong, the global developer conference focused on AI Agents and autonomous AI! Our community will be hosting a full day of workshops and talks alongside the AgentCon Hong Kong program.
Below is the full agenda for our sessions.
Come learn, build, and explore the future of AI Agents with us!
**Activities:**
1. AI IDE - Kiro Hands-on Workshop x AgentCon Hong Kong
2. Building Multi-Agent Systems in Finance with Strands Agents and Bedrock AgentCore on AWS.
3. Governing AI Agents in Production: From Experiment to Engineering System
4. Empower Team Wide Vibe Coding with LLM Gateway and Security-First MCPs
5. What can go wrong when you ask your agent to go naughty?
**AI IDE - Kiro Hands-on Workshop x AgentCon Hong Kong**
*[Haowen Huang](https://www.linkedin.com/in/haowenhuang/) \- Senior Developer Advocate\, Amazon Web Services*
*[Jacky Wu](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackywu1/) \- Sr\. Solutions Architect\, Amazon Web Services*
Time: 10:40 am
Generative AI tools have democratized software development, enabling both developers and non-technical users to build applications efficiently. However, these tools struggle with enterprise-level challenges: inadequate project planning, unstructured workflows, poor enterprise integration, and inconsistent code quality.
Kiro, AWS's AI IDE tool, addresses these gaps by integrating specification-driven development, structural design, test validation, and automated execution into a standardized, traceable workflow.
At re:Invent 2025, AWS launched “Kiro Powers”—extensible capability packages that inject domain-specific expertise into Kiro AI agents. Each Power provides:
\- Domain guidance via steering files \(POWER\.md\)
\- Tool integration \(MCP services for databases\, payments\, deployment\)
\- Automated Hooks for event\-driven actions \(API testing\, infrastructure code generation\)
Unlike traditional coding assistants, Kiro + Powers covers the entire development lifecycle—from requirements to deployment—while reducing token costs and ensuring consistent code quality.
We'll demonstrate Kiro's capabilities by building a game using Specs, Powers, and Hooks, showcasing its enterprise-grade advantages in planning, automation, and quality assurance.
**First come, first served if the number of attendees exceeds capacity!**
**To join this workshop, you need to register at [AWS AI User Group Hong Kong](https://www.meetup.com/aws-ai-user-group-hong-kong/)**
https://www.meetup.com/aws-ai-user-group-hong-kong/events/313334952/
**Building Multi-Agent Systems in Finance with Strands Agents and Bedrock AgentCore on AWS.**
*[Haowen Huang](https://www.linkedin.com/in/haowenhuang/) \- Senior Developer Advocate\, Amazon Web Services*
*[Jacky Wu](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackywu1/) \- Sr\. Solutions Architect\, Amazon Web Services*
Time: 1:15 pm
This session explores practical implementations of AI agents for financial services on AWS. Discover how to design multi-agent systems with the Strands Agents framework and Bedrock AgentCore for complex financial workflows—from quantitative backtesting to AI fund manager.
You'll learn multi-agent patterns, and agent orchestration techniques. Walk away with concrete architectural patterns and implementation strategies for building production-ready AI agents in finance.
**Governing AI Agents in Production: From Experiment to Engineering System**
*[Mike Ng](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ngsinching/) \- ex\-AWS Community Builder*
Time: 2:30 pm
Most AI governance discussions assume AI will "do the right thing" with properguidelines. This talk takes a different approach: assume drift, error, and
misalignment by default, then design mechanical structures that make bad
behavior expensive.
The core idea: systems are defined by what they refuse to do, not what they
can do. For AI in production, governance means explicit rejection zones,
constitutional constraints that cannot be bypassed, and separation between
decision-making and execution.
Five governance patterns: constitutional constraints (forbidden states and
behaviors), rejection zones (where AI cannot operate), separation of powers
(decision ≠ execution ≠ validation), retrieval-led reasoning (grounding over
pre-training), and mechanical enforcement (architecture over policy).
Developed while preparing experimental multi-agent systems for production
deployment in FinTech, where mistakes are irreversible and governance is
survival, not choice.
**Empower Team Wide Vibe Coding with LLM Gateway and Security-First MCPs**
*[Gabriel Koo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielkoo/) \- AWS Community Builder & Senior Lead Engineer at Bowtie Life Insurance*
*[Rakshit Jain](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rakshit-jainn/) \- AI Engineer II*
*Bowtie Life Insurance*
Time: 3:00 pm
Scaling AI-assisted development from a few enthusiasts to 50+ software engineers isn't just about API keys - it's about governance, trust, and standardized workflows. How do you prevent "shadow AI" and budget chaos while granting safe access to production context?
At Bowtie, we adopted a layered security-first approach: First, control the traffic; second, secure the tools; third, standardize the behavior.
This session covers our journey building a production-grade Vibe coding platform:
Layer 1: The AI Gateway (LiteLLM on AWS Fargate + Amazon RDS)
We established a centralized choke point for all AI traffic. This enables cost attribution, DLP detection, and usage visibility. Crucially, we enforce this at the network level - blocking direct access to non-official API providers to ensure all usage is visible and governed.
Layer 2: Security-First MCP servers
We treat AI agents as "CLI versions" of our internal web apps. By building custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that reuse existing permissions and authentications - using Amazon Cognito for internal APIs and OAuth for official SaaS MCP servers - the AI acts as a delegate of the developer with human approvals. No new service accounts, no "god-mode" bots - if you can't do it in the existing user interfaces, the Agent can't do it via MCPs.
Layer 3: Custom Skills for Standardization
Beyond just tools, we write custom Skills to guide the model's behavior, ensuring generated code aligns with our engineering standards and SOPs (e.g. grab a ticket, fetch knowledge base, apply a fix, close the ticket) before a PR is even opened.
Walk away with an architectural blueprint for democratizing AI access that satisfies the strictest security requirements while giving developers the friction-free vibe coding experience they crave.
**What can go wrong when you ask your agent to go naughty?**
*[Richard Fan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/richardfan1126/) \- AWS Hero \| An independent security researcher*
Time: 3:30 pm
We security folks all want to secure the AI agents, restricting their capability, putting guardrails, using system prompts, ... just to make sure the agents don't go rogue.
But what if the AI agent is specifically designed to do bad things? Suddenly, the rule is changed. The instructions are encouraging agents to make harm, and the guardrails are half-opened, so as to allow the agent to do its job. In this scenario, what can go wrong?
In this session, Richard will talk about AWS Security Agent, an AI agent designed to do automated penetration tests. He will share the security issues he found on the agent and highlight the challenges when building agents that simulate harmful actions.

Transportation: the hardware, the wait, the ride
**Transportation of all kinds, just not walking.**
**This week’s theme is getting around**—the cities choreography and human drama of boarding, riding, waiting, parking, squeezing through, loading up, breaking down, **and all the hardware required.**
**We're after wheels of all kinds—transportation, the hardware and hard feelings of this urban experience:** buses, minibuses, bikes, scooters, motorcycles, cars, and everything that comes with them—the queues, doors, climbing in or out hands on rails, bumpers, parking lots, curbside chaos, the beauty and the gore of daily transportation scene.
Wheelchairs count. A kid on a dad’s shoulder counts too.
***
#### **What To Look For:**
#### **Bus Life**
* Double-deckers and minibuses pulling in, idling for the exits and queue, lurching away like a small boat in a big wave.
* Minibuses. Say no more—they're go-carts driven by crazy men. Go ride one and document it.
* People waiting in a queue, entertained in unison with their phones, watching for the route number
* Boarding + exiting: stepping up, tapping cards, squeezing past, jumping off late
* Faces in windows, reflections, pressed hands on glass
* The stop itself: shelters, signage, curb paint, the crowd forming and dissolving
#### **Two Wheels + Engines**
* Bikes and scooters in motion or locked up in clusters
* Motorcycles: riding, filtering traffic, revving at lights
* Parked motorcycles: tight rows, covers, helmets, scratched tanks, chrome + grime
#### **Cars + The Infrastructure Around Them**
* Parking behavior: double-parks, tight squeezes, loading zones, hazards on
* Bumpers and bodywork: dents, tape fixes, scraped paint, polished shine
* People with cars: leaning, cleaning, unloading, waiting, waving someone in, or more likely, looking too smug.
#### **Also In Scope (Any transport besides walking)**
* Delivery vehicles, cargo bikes, sidewalk carts being towed/pushed as part of a transport moment
* Wheelchairs navigating ramps/curbs, getting on/off transit, moving through crowds
***
### **Moments to Hunt**
* The choreography: doors open → line compresses → bodies flow → doors close
* Transfers: the hurried decision, the glance, the sprint, the missed connection
* Crowd physics: who yields, who blocks, who slips through
* Sound made visible: vibration, exhaust heat, motion blur, rain spray, headlight glare
* Beauty + gore: ishiny scooter next to a wrecked bumper; order and mess in the same frame
***
### **How to Shoot It**
* Try from the inside: again, minibuses!
* Use shutter speed deliberately: freeze the step, blur the rush, streak the lights
* Work the edges: hands on poles, feet at the threshold, ticket taps, mirrors, bumpers
* Look for layers: reflections in windows, faces behind glass, overlapping vehicles
***
### **Meet-Up Details**
* **Start: 3:00 PM**
* Location: Jordan Station, Exit A, street level
* Jordan (TWL) Exit A puts you immediately on Nathan Rd and Jordan Roads, good for bus stops, minibuses passing/pausing, queues, boarding/alighting, and it’s a clean launch point to walk west to Canton Road or northwest to Austin Rd for parking, scooters and motorcycles.
*
* **Debrief: 4:30 PM** at: MOBIN
* Located in: [Eaton](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=4f709db2114f009d&cs=1&output=search&q=Eaton+HK&ludocid=3663969110848279377&lsig=AB86z5VzaFZpaOTxe4Bj2CTndz2L&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjTg_6T2cyTAxUhJNAFHXe5MqcQ8G0oAHoECBQQAQ) Hotel
* 380 Nathan Rd, Jordan, Hong Kong
***
### **After the Walk**
* Post 5–10 images.
* Aim for a mix of:
* Waiting / boarding / riding
* Parked / jammed / damaged / polished
* Wide scenes + tight details
The goal: photograph how the city moves because of transportation — and what it does to people (and what people do to it).
Catch the line. Catch the door. Catch the moment it all moves.

Prompt vs. Paintbrush
AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s?
This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation?
We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee.

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.

Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games!
The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime!
Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again.
We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all.
Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
