From 1998 to 2001, Venerable lectured in Singapore and Malaysia. In 1999, she was appointed Head of the Silent Voices translation team, which is now called the Pure Land Translation Team. She relocated to Australia in 2001. In 2004, she became the Teacher of the Amitabha Buddhist Retreat Centre in Nanango, Australia, and was appointed Vice President of the Pure Land Learning College Association Inc. in Toowoomba, Australia.
From 2004 to 2007 Venerable was based primarily in Elkhart, Indiana, so she could help look after her mother who had recently moved there. During that time she also lectured in Australia, Asia, and North America.
After living in Australia from 2008 to late 2010, Venerable returned to the Buddhist Society of Elkhart for an extended visit.
