One of our brothers defended successfully his masteral thesis at the University of Saint Joseph, Macao on October 29, 2013. A number of members of our community and some professors and students of the university postgraduate courses witnessed the afternoon academic exercise.
Brother Antonio Hyojun Lee, OP, presented and defended his masteral thesis before a tribunal of three USJ professors. The title of the thesis is: “The Effects of Mindfulness Practice in Daily Life.†The Panel of Examiners was composed of the following Professors: Harry Xia, Chair; Helena Ng, Examiner, and Andrew Found, Supervisor.
Bro. Antonio presented and defended his thesis very well. He was able to get a high Magna Cum Laude. The degree he obtained: Master of Counseling and Psychotherapy. In his well-structured work, Brother Antonio explores analyses and interprets through quantitative and qualitative research methods the effects of mindfulness practice (a Buddhist technique) in non-clinical population.
Our Priory rejoices with our brother and wishes him well in his future assignment and work. Congratulations and God bless you – always!
