​Originally, I made this website for my children to leave them some of my Asian wisdom for their reference.

I am from Taiwan, and after completing my BA in Anthropology I came to the United States and completed a MA in Museum Studies. I have broad interests and I have obtained many different licenses in various fields over the years, such as Nursing Home Administrator and Food Safety Management.
​
In 1989, I became a Tibetan Buddhist and I am a student of the late H. H. Penor Rinpoche of the Palyul tradition.

This website is built and run by me and my daughters. I provide the content, Melissa edits the writing, Melody contributes artwork, and Merrily helps with this site and social media.

​Last but not least, a special thanks to my friend Ling Yu for her beautiful photos.
