This Bhikshuni is 81 years old and left home when she was 6. Wearing her robes she has been through the Republican Era, the Japanese Invasion, the Second World War, the Communist era, the Cultural Revolution and the current period of prosperity and renewal of Buddhism. She works every day in the garden and in the ceremony hall, serving as a model for the younger nuns.
The photo shows (wearing the red cap) the elderly nun, and in the back, the Abbot of her convent, myself and Bhikshu Jin Fan, from the CTTB.

Dharma Masters,
Seeing this photo of virtuous sangha
Vowing that all living beings
Their afflictions will be vanished
Return and rely on Triple Jewels
