This volume gives a partial record of an extraordinary series of lectures given by Venerable Master Hsing Yun in different places around the globe.

Family management in contemporary life has been addressed, especially in regard to dealing with problems of aging and hospice care. We have entered into a new era of cloning, virtual reality, internet commerce, and global life. This book calmly addresses all those potentially troubling issues.
