The Psychological Services Group (PSG) held a Balance and Wisdom Seminar on the evening of April 8 in the Auditorium of Police Headquarters when Mr Lam Chiu-ying, Director of the Hong Kong Observatory, gave a talk entitled "Natural Happiness - the Association with Star and Bird Watching".

Mr Lam spoke of the close relationship among physics, natural world and human world, and of the ways to experience the joy of life and build proper life perspectives.

He started the seminar with a series of questions and small gifts. On the issue of whether human nature is good or bad, he cited interesting metaphors to illustrate that right from the beginning humans are born happy. It would require some wisdom before one can truly grasp the idea of natural happiness.

Mr Lam made used of his experience in star watching to illustrate that if one wants to be happy, one has to posit oneself as he or she is, without being boastful or menial. He also used his bird watching experience to show the audience how to appreciate the secret of a worry-free life.

Throughout the seminar, the audience found Mr Lam's interactive and humorous style impressing, and raised many questions about the secret of natural happiness.

Force members may call PSG on 2866-1992 for borrowing the DVD of the seminar.
