Shiu-Lan (Jully) Huang
After working in the legal sector for many years, Jully had the feeling that the conflicts in humanity and karma for the people’s trials in the courts did not allow her to find the ultimate answer for life within the sphere of law and order. Then she began to learn Zen, study I Ching, and practice Buddhism with her foundation in literature and history. She deeply felt that Chinese people tradition thoughts of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism can provide an outlet for people living in the society of the 21st century. Therefore, she engaged in the modernization works of traditional Chinese classics by constructing the internet platform of Cosmos Classics to cultivate the field of the classics in a profound manner. Exploring masterpieces of great artists and writers, she plans to publish Chinese classics.
