Translating Teachings

                                                   

Hsuan Hua

                Hsuan Hua is also well known for The Buddhist Text Translation Society.  This is an organization that Hua started in hopes of translating the entire Buddhist Canon into English.  He also wanted to translate it into other languages used by western countries.  His reasoning for doing this was to allow the Westerners to learn about Buddhism through understandable texts. 

                Hsuan Hua’s deep yearning to spread the teachings of the Buddha caused him to lead a very spiritual and holy life.  Through his actions others learned the teachings of the Buddha and also began to live more meaningful lives.
