Shi Zhaohui has long advocated for gender equality and human rights. She fought for equal status for bhikkhunis, promoted the abolition of the “Eight Respectful Rules,” and became Taiwan’s first religious leader to openly support and officiate same-sex weddings. She firmly believes that compassion transcends gender and sexual orientation, and that faith should never be used as a tool of oppression.
Through Buddhist teachings, Shi Zhaohui communicates human rights principles and leverages her religious influence to promote a more inclusive society. She stands as a guiding light at the intersection of religion and human rights, reminding the public that faith and freedom are never in conflict, and that true spiritual practice is walking alongside all sentient beings.
