A Meeting of Masters ─
An Exhibition of Chang Dai-Chien & Ven. Master Hsing Yun's Works

WORDS OF THE FOUNDER
Chang Dai-Chien and I


"Chang shares a special affinity with Fo Guang Shan. On his many visits to the monastery, although he had once renounced, and was a senior, he nevertheless laid full prostration to me to pay courtesy, which truly made me feel undeserving and humbled.

New book release: "A Meeting of Masters" is now available at Buddha Memorial Center and Fo Guang Shan Monastery.
