How interesting that you gave this Dharma talk at the HSZC. I used to be a resident there. Is Myō still abbot there?

BTW, I speak Chinese, so, if you'd like help with the pronunciation of Chinese names, I'm happy to help. :-)

I was a monastic at Fóguāngshān monastery (佛光山寺) in southern Taiwan in the mid-Aughts.

WOW! That's a spectacularly beautiful monastery! Those Buddha statues are huge!! Glad you were able to spend some time there. I hope to get to Japan one of these days, and South Korea, which looks amazing!
