善如法師出家前是一位執業會計師，先後取得工商管理碩士、佛學碩士(香港大學)等資歷。法師在居士的時候已經不辭勞苦，於工餘時間在居士林作義務導師推廣佛法。題目包括《我和心經有個約會》、《佛教基本法》、《一本空的生活手冊》等等，及主持《佛門網》網上節目《念佛基本法》。

2016年因緣具足下， 法師在加拿大觀音寺主持觀成大和尚座下剃度出家，及於同年受具足戒，服務寺廟，精進修行，​法師於2024年修畢香港大學佛學輔導碩士課程，致力將佛法與心理關懷結合，利益更多大眾。

我們非常榮幸，善如法師現時定期抽空來訪英國，主持三皈五戒、誦經法會、大悲懺、禪修工作坊，並開設中英雙語佛學講座，教導佛教義理，服務社區，讓更多人有機會親近佛法，培養正念與慈悲。

Before becoming a Buddhist nun, Venerable Shanru was a certified practicing accountant and obtained a Master of Business Administration and a Master of Buddhist Studies (the University of Hong Kong), among other qualifications.

 

As a lay practitioner, she tirelessly volunteered as an instructor at the Lodge of Laity during her spare time to propagate Buddhism. Her topics included "Heart Sutra," "Basic Foundation Course of Buddhism," "A Handbook of Emptiness," etc. She also hosted the online program "The Basic Law of Chanting " on the Buddhist Door Website. In 2016, when the conditions were fulfilled, Venerable Shanru was ordained under the guidance of Master Guan Cheng at the International Buddhist Temple in Canada and took the full monastic precepts within the same year. She served diligently in the temple and continued her spiritual practice. ​
 

In 2024, Venerable Shanru completed a Master’s Degree in Buddhist Counselling at the University of Hong Kong, with a mission to integrate Dharma with psychological care and benefit more people.

We are honoured that Venerable Shanru now regularly visits the UK to lead the Three Refuges and Five Precepts ceremony, chanting services, Great Compassion Repentance ceremonies, and meditation workshops. She also delivers Dharma talks in both Cantonese and English, teaching Buddhist principles and serving the community—offering many the precious opportunity to connect with the Dharma and cultivate mindfulness and compassion. 

This will provide everyone with the precious opportunity to receive her compassionate guidance and learn Buddha’s teachings.
