The Venerable Grand Master Hsing Yun, head of one of the largest Buddhist sects in the world, is the most recent recipient of a Whittier College honorary doctorate of humane letters (L.H.D.). On December 20, a Whittier cohort in full regalia, led by President Sharon Herzberger, met with Yun for a small, private ceremony to bestow the award at the Hsi Lai Temple in nearby Hacienda Heights.
