Prof. Chen Yanling gave a lecture in the morning. Her topic was "Teachers’ Stress and Mental Health." With some individual cases, Prof. Chen analyzed that the source of stress is from one’s own notions. If one can respect lives and get along with others peacefully, then the stress will go away, and one can achieve good mental health. As a doctor and Falun Gong practitioner, Prof. Chen described that by her own experience Falun Gong’s teachings and exercises helped her to improve her mental and physical health.
