The Bodhi MirrorINTRODUCING
THE EMINENT Dharma Master Tz’u En is a native of Tainan, Taiwan, Republic of China, and her layname is Wang Yu-mei. She was born thirty-two years ago with the appearance of Maitreya Bodhisattva. When you hear her clear and effervescent laughter you know that she is open-minded and generous. Because of her inexhaustible energy and outstanding talents and abilities, she has been able to successfully serve several consecutive terms as class president while performing other duties and holding other positions as well.
