Hsin Ming are not the only nuns who have come to Taiwan from distant lands to be ordained. At the Buddhist college administered by the headquarters of Kaohsiung's Fo Kuang Shan Temple, there have always been a number of women who have come from India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Thailand to study Buddhism and realize their long held ambition to be fully ordained.
實際上，不遠千里前來台灣受戒的外國出家女性並不只是心海和心明，在高雄佛光山大本營的佛學院裡，一直都有來自印度、尼泊爾、斯里蘭卡、越南、泰國的女性，前來修行佛學，並接受完整的「具足戒」，了卻多年心願。
