The graduates studied in China, USA and UK obtaining degrees, master’s degrees and even PhDs in business, engineering, dentistry, law, psychology, marine engineering, and economics.%0A%0AThe universities mentioned included Fu Tan University in Shanghai, Cambridge in the UK, Lincoln’s Inn in the UK and Greater China University in Shanghai.%0A%0AAlthough the community of overseas Chinese in Burma has reduced over the years, the temple continues to function and to serve its members.
