The Complete Works of Master Hsian-du

With her undertaking as the abbot of Huayen Lotus Society in 1994, Master Hsien-du has been actively involved in the field of education and philanthropy, notably in education which aim to cultivate monastics who specialize in the studies and propagation of Huayen school, as well as in promoting the Huayen teaching & research on to the international platform. In order to spread the teaching of Huayen school, a series of materials were especially compiled from the voluminous and vast content of Huayen in a systematic and apprehensible manner, so that all may perceive its greatness and taste the cool nectar of dharma.
