– Jeff Lu & Steve Jung

Buddhism is a complex and multifaceted religion. In the limited time we have for today’s service, we will not attempt to teach Buddhism to you, nor will we go into sufficient depth to provide you with any true appreciation for its nuances and beauty. Instead, we have tried to identify some basic Buddhist concepts that suggest ways for us to maintain our cool during this summer of intense heat and polarized political and social disagreement.

Jeff has been attending WUUC since 2019, serving as a Board of Trustee since 2022, currently as the President. He participated in various church activities including Soul Matters, Crossing Path, Circle Super, Men’s retreat, and managed sound and camera supporting our service. Jeff has been an UU since 1999 in North Andover, Massachusetts, where he was involved in technology team and facilitated Build Your Own Theology.  

Jeff was born in Taiwan before immigrating to the US in 1974.  From 2008 to 2021, Jeff lived in China and Taiwan, working as an executive leading computer hardware design and manufacturing.  His extensive travel experience in Asia brings a great perspective on Buddhism in everyday lives in Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

Steve is a retired university administrator and research psychologist. He and his wife, Susan McBain, live in the Fairwinds-Brittany Park senior community in Woodinville. During the waning years of the Vietnam War, he lived in Bangkok, Thailand, while working with a Thai government agency under a contract with the U. S. Department of Defense. This work allowed him to travel throughout Thailand and learn about Thai life and customs, including Buddhism. He later traveled throughout Asia, visiting Japan, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Bhutan, as well as India and Nepal.
