愛德華•康薩教授是西雅圖華盛頓大學著名的佛教學者。那時易象乾教授（法界佛教大學美洲區的校長）翻譯上人的《般若波羅蜜多心經非臺頌解》做為其碩士論文的內容。恒靜也曾隨康薩教授上課，但在參加上人舉辦的「暑期《楞嚴經》講習班」後，決定追隨上人剃度出家。 |

Professor Edward Conze, the noted Buddhist scholar, was teaching at the University of Washington, Seattle, when Dr. Ronald Epstein wrote his Master’s thesis based on his translation of the Venerable Master’s Verses Without a Stand and Prose Commentary on the Heart of Prajna Paramita Sutra. At that time Bhikshu Heng Ching had also been studying with Professor Conze, but after the
Shurangama Sutra Summer Session, he made his decision to enter into monastic life under the Master.

藍卡斯教授，是柏克萊大學佛學系的主任。他是易象乾教授博士論文的主考委員之一。論文的內容取材於易教授翻譯《楞嚴經》中〈七處徵心〉的經文及上人的淺釋。恒隱當時是藍卡斯教授的研究生。正在翻譯《六祖壇經》的經文及上人的淺釋。照片中，大眾頭頂上的三個相互重疊的八角形影光，象徵著吉祥。 |

Professor Lewis Lancaster, the Director of the Buddhist Studies Department of the University of California at Berkeley, was also on Dr. Epstein’s committee when he wrote his Doctoral dissertation based on his translation of the text and the Venerable Master’s commentary on the “Seeking for the Mind in Seven Places”section of the Shurangama Sutra. Current with this photo, Bhikshuni Heng Yin was doing research under the direction of Professor Lewis Lancaster regarding the translation of the Sixth Patriarch’s Sutra with the Venerable Master’s commentary. This occasion was auspicious, as evidenced in the unusual triple appearance of an octagonal light canopy over the group.
