Han Guo's Blog


My name is Han Guo. I am a Buddhist monk. I became a monk at the age of 22 and have been a monk for 12 years now.

During the first two years after I became a monk, I studied in Xian South Buddhist Institute of Fu Jian Province. In 1997, I was admitted by China Buddhist Institute where I studied for three and half years.

In the spring of 2001, I was sent by the Chinese Buddhist Association to study in South Korea. Unfortunately, something happened to my eyes during my study there and it became so serious that I had to drop out of school and return to China in the summer of 2001 to treat my eyes.

From 2002 through 2005, I taught in Guangzhou Buddhist Institute. I came to the U. S. in December 2005. Now I am teaching Buddhist theory in a temple in New York City. I also write articles, using my computer, for Buddhist journals and keep myself abreast with the latest development of my field. I also use my computer skills to help my temple communicate with the outside world.

I enjoy my faith. I like to write articles. I enjoy my life here. To me, the world is full of sunshine now.

Hello and Welcome,

I enjoyed reading your blog and am delighted that your life in America is shining upon the sunnyside of life.

Is your form of Buddhism the same as Myanmar's Buddhism? Just curious and interested in the people who are oppressed in Myanmar -- how people are able to exist and to live day-by-day!

Much luck to you in your teachings -- in New York City's Chinatown!

I hope that your time in America is fruitful.

As a Buddhist monk, how shall I address you?
