Suzhou, China -- On November 7, 2006, approximately 20 French entrepreneurs visited West Park Monastery (Suzhou, Jiangsu Province). Ven. Zhenjing, Buddhism Doctor welcomed these visitors.

At first, Ven. Zhenjing guided visitors to sightsee the whole monastery, introducing the history stories of the monastery, its ancient monastic architecture, current situation, and development prospect.

After that, at Cloud Cluster Cot, Ven. Zhenjing made an in-depth conversation with French visitors. He answered questions about the principle concepts of Buddhism, the methods of practice, and talked about the Buddhist viewpoint towards sundry social problems in modern society. The conversation lasted about 1 hour, and they gained a new understanding on Buddhism.   [Translator: Wang Xinyu   News in Chinese]
