From these humble roots she built an industrial empire, spanning Taiwan and China and back to Taiwan to emphasize "Made in Taiwan."

Her guiding refuge throughout this period, her Buddhist teachers: Venerable Zheng Miao, also the abbot of Da Xian Temple, and Most Venerable Bhiksuni Hong An, who appeared to her as winter sunshine, a gentle mother who warmed her heart.

Zhou Xiupen cherishes nectar-like Dharma, the right path and the Triple Gems. Her faith led her to offer charity for disaster relief, the impoverished, education for students, temple construction and even a dragon art pillar at the Da Xian Temple. She constantly reminds herself that she is a disciple of the Buddha and maintains high quality and integrity as her foremost principles.
