Lin Shao Fa was born in 1966 in Pu Li , a buddhist town in Nan Tou County of Taiwan. The beautiful lanscape and rural environment of his home town has made lin a devout man who fervently loves nature.  He collected local stones and planned out the lines i his mind and created a series of Budhisattva images which show the tranquility of their mind, the solemnity of their faces and teh gracefulness of their postures. His Goddesses of Mercy show not only their kindness and wisdom, but also project a feeling of ease. He has also created a series of children to recall the long lost memories of childhood. The little monks' series are delightful reminiscences of the childhood, while the child-faced Buddha series are both innocent and sweet. Lin's work are admired by Buddhists and non-Buddists alike, including those who are not naturally drawn to Buddhism adn its sculptures. With a simple heart and dedication for his work, Lin Shao Fa has the gift which enables him to create and share beauty and peacefulness with others.
