Elaine Yeh met Master Hua when she was studying computer science at the University of Texas in 1989 and was inspired to become his monastic disciple. During her 33 years as a Buddhist nun, she worked on translating Chinese Buddhist texts, served as principal at Instilling Goodness and Developing Virtue Schools, and taught at Dharma Realm Buddhist University. She earned an MA in Buddhist Classics from Dharma Realm Buddhist University and an MA in Asian Studies from UC Berkeley. In recent years she has been exploring how Buddhist and Western psychological approaches can work together to bring about deeper self-transformation and lay the foundations for Kuan Yin’s great compassion.
