Sayalay is well known especially for the clarity of her teaching of the Theravada Buddhist Suttas and Abhidhamma, which she taught initially in Taiwan, Malaysia, and Singapore, as well as in Buddhist centers across Canada, the United States, and Australia. Sister has two books in print: The Nine Attributes of the Buddha (in Chinese) and Unravelling the Mysteries of Mind and Body Through Abhidhamma (in English). She speaks fluent English, Mandarin Chinese, and Burmese, and has translated widely from English to Chinese for Venerable Pa-Auk Sayadaw in Malaysia and Taiwan. Several of Sister’s devoted disciples recently donated land on which she is building an international meditation center, Appamada Vihari. The Lansing Buddhist Association is honored to welcome this distinguished Buddhist nun to Michigan. ================================================================ To Subscribe or Unsubscribe CSSAMSU mailing list, please go to: http://list.msu.edu/archives/cssamsu.html Click "Join or leave the list".
