Madam Tsang Kor Sing was born in China and educated in Macao and Hong Kong specializing in classical Chinese literature.  She married the late Mr. Boon-lap Lai and was a full time housewife in caring for their five children. She instilled in her children her philosophy of serving the community.  The focus of her services were the Buddhist community and her village associations.  Her four decades of volunteer services can be highlighted in the following manner:

1. She was the founding member of the Hong Kong Buddhist Association in 1953 and served as a board member until 1998 when she immigrated to the United States.  For her long and distinguished contribution to the Buddhist Association and the Buddhist community at large, Mrs. Lai was given the title of Honorable Advisor for life.

2. She was elected in 1956 as Hong Kong Outstanding Mother of the Year.

3. In the early 1970's, she was elected Vice President of the International Buddhist Association, Hong Kong Branch.

4. She was one of the founding members of the Hong Kong Buddhist Hospital and later became a member of the hospital's Board of Trustee.

5.  She was also a founding member of the Hong Kong Buddhsit Cemetery Association.

6. She also served on the board of the following family associations:  Chung Shan District Merchant Association, Tsang Family Association, and the Kwong Lai Ho Family Association.

7. She was a school board member for five Buddhist primary and secondary schools.

8. She founded the Buddhist Tsang Kor Sing Kindergarten in 1981.  The Kindergarten is a government subsidized non-profit making school in Hong Kong.

As a tribute to their mother's long time commitment and achievements in charitable work and community services, the children establish a memorial scholarship at the Hong Kong Buddhist Wong Fung Ling High School in memory of their parents.
