Nanhua University Events in Remembrance of our founder, Venerable Master Hsing-Yun

Venerable Master Hsing-Yun, the founder of Fo Guang Shan and Nanhua University passed away on February 5, 2023. It was with a heavy heart and great sadness for all members of the University faculty, staff, and students to learn of his passing. On February 6, Vice President Chen-Chang Lin, Vice President Chin-Hsung Kao, Vice President Kun-Chong Li, and staff members visited Yuan-Fu Temple in Chiayi City and Fo Guang Shan Monastery in Kaohsiung to pay their respects. On the same day in Vietnam on his international student recruitment drive, President Tsong-Ming Lin made a video recording of his profound gratitude toward Venerable Master Hsing-Yun, and on February 8, wrote over three thousand words in an article commemorating Venerable Master Hsing-Yun. Upon his return, President Lin immediately visited Fo Guang Shan to pay his respects. Nanhua University has organized a series of events in memory of Venerable Master Hsing-Yun. These events demostrate our greatest respect and utmost appreciation toward his contribution to education. At 9:00 am on February 13, the memorial service for Venerable Master Hsing-Yun was held at Fo Guang Shan.
