Bhiksuni I-ju was born in the late 1940’s into the Lan family and was given the personal name Yu-p’in. She is a native of the Pingtung District, Taiwan, Republic of China.
She is the Florence Nightingale of the Academy at Buddha’s Light Mountain. When she enters her step is slow and relaxed. There is always a gentle smile on her lips and a faint smell of medicine always trails after her. Although she doesn’t go roaming in the night with Florence Nightingale’s candle, she is enthusiastic about the ancient path of compassion and pity. If your four elements become unbalanced and you get sick, and you request her aid, she will definitely respond, and as soon as she arrives with the medicine, your illness will surely disappear cured by her wonderful skill. Her personality is very lively. She can really sing and entertain, but she very rarely gets on the stage to perform.
Bhiksuni I ju currently resides at Buddha’s Light Mountain in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
