🧘🏻‍♀️ About the Hosts:

Master XianXin (pictured above) is a Buddhist nun with over a decade of monastic training under Master Yonghua, founder of American Wei Yang. Before ordaining, she studied Computer Science, so she understands the tech industry firsthand, and the pressure, long hours, and constant problem-solving that come with it. That background helps her speak directly to the worries many people in the Bay Area carry. She now teaches Chan meditation at Bodhi Light International (BLI) temples and worldwide online programs, helping students build resilience, inner peace, and a more balanced life.

Venerable XianPu (pictured above) is a Buddhist nun under Master Yonghua since 2023. Drawing on her background teaching yoga, she guides sessions that prepare the mind and body for meditation. She currently teaches meditation classes for students across Europe and the U.S. Warm and approachable, she creates a space where people feel comfortable sharing what's on their mind, and uses Dharma and meditation to help them find clearer, wiser solutions.

Both teach at Dharma Treasury Temple in San Francisco, and its branch temple, Gold Forest Chan Meditation Center in San Jose. Both temples offer Chan meditation classes and Dharma talks, open to all, that give practical tools for concentration, stress relief, and personal growth.
