THICH NU TINH QUANG

Thich nu Tinh Quang was born in the City of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada in 1947. She acquired a B.A. in Philosophy, a Diploma in Human Services, majoring in Addictions and Mental Health, and did post-graduate training at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto. She has lived in the U.K. and periodically spends time in Ba Ria - Vung Tau, Vietnam, with the nuns and children of Tinh That Buu Tich Monastery. "Sister" became interested in Zen Buddhism at the age of 6 years. Although experiencing the sacredness of everything as a child, it wasn't until her early 20's that she became serious about developing spiritually, beginning with the study of Advaita Vedanta. A deeper commitment to the buddha-dharma evolved along with her great psychological and spiritual transformation. Her training has been in Korean and Vietnamese Zen. Sister was ordained in Vietnam by the Most Venerable Thich Nhat Lien, in 2001.
