The Tropic of Cancer Sustainability Belt Sustainability is a global trend, and a global lingua franca. How can Taiwan use sustainability to tell our story on an international stage? How can Taiwan create a sustainability brand that is equipped with a global perspective? The National Park Service (NPS) considers the Tropic of Cancer a great place to start. By connecting the dots of Taiwan’s mountain resources, ocean resources, and sustainability partners into a line, and then making that line into a belt, we can turn the Tropic of Cancer – which many think of as just a bunch of geographic markers – into a whole new window for getting to know Taiwan. As the 180km north-south Tropic of Cancer Belt crosses Taiwan, it crosses coasts, wetlands, foothills, high mountains, oceans, cities, and villages. Along the way, it encompasses every form of ecology, life, and production, forming world-class environmental marvels. The NPS is using the Tropic of Cancer Sustainability Belt project to put

The seventh volume of Studies on Humanistic Buddhism explores the application of Buddhist wisdom to contemporary management. The volume contains ten articles—eight translated from Chinese and two written in English (McKenzie and Goirand, Starlyte)—as well as two student papers. The topics range from the management of business enterprises, educational and monastic organizations, the self, and even the creation of a Pure Land. A unifying theme across the articles is the insight that cultivating one’s own mind is the foundation for effectively managing others. As Huang Kuo-Ching noted in an earlier volume of this journal, “Venerable Master Hsing Yun pointed out that the core aspect of management lies in management of the mind. Moreover, a leader must have the ability to manage one’s mind before managing that of others.” This underscores the central message of this volume: effective leadership begins with self-management.

This year (2025), on the 50th anniversary of my public service starting as an Administrative Officer in the Hong Kong Government and morphing into a politician, after many twists and turns, I am pleased to publish the ninth edition of my series of books entitled “Regina’s English Works for You”.The articles collected in this year’s “Regina’s English Works for You 9” fall under three broad areas: “Hong Kong’s Recovery and Resurgence” after our re-opening in early 2023, “Opportunities in the Greater Bay Area”, and “Emerging Rivalry between the East and the West”. The articles are a reflection of the global trends reshaping the world and life in Hong Kong. I hope readers can glean from these pieces some insight about the way the world is heading, and how we should position ourselves in a world transformed by “changes unseen in a hundred years”.I hope you will enjoy reading these fairly short and readable pieces and, in the process, learn one or two new things about mastering the English
