Kẻ ác nhân quả chẳng tường,
Cho nên thế giới máu xương chất đầy.
Hiểu rằng nhân quả trả vay,
Người hiền gắng sức đắp xây hòa bình.

Nếu có ngày được gọi là đẹp nhất,
Đó là ngày Phật đến với trần gian.
Nắng gió hương hoa ánh sáng ngập tràn,
Cả vũ trụ rền vang lời ca ngợi

Hôm nay đường nhựa đã làm xong
Từ đây rực rỡ ánh dương hồng
Chùa như hoa nở đầy thung lũng
Để đẹp cho rừng núi mênh mông.

Chung tay xây dựng đạo tràng
Thương yêu, đoàn kết ngày càng tiến tu
Trăng còn lúc tỏ lúc lu
Tình yêu đạo pháp ngàn thu vững bền.

"Boundless homage to Buddha" is an old topic, but it is very basic and very important.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, I like to talk about the topic "Do not wait..." This was the title of the article posted on Tuoi Tre newspaper (The Youth). The article was very interesting and its contents align to some of the moral values and principles in Buddhism, therefore, I like to reference this article throughout our discussion today.

Emotion is an active action of our soul that is so fundamentally essential for everbody. From a fetus in the mother’s womb to a newborn baby, everyone knows how to love, hate or fear.

Most religions in the world endorse a fundamental belief in “being a good person and living a virtuous life.” However, upon deeper examination, Buddhism taught us faith based on wisdom and the governing law of karma.

The phrase - “just a thought” – sounds a little bit abstract and confused when it crosses our minds. The content in this book mainly mentions the “Self” – in other word, the “Ego” - so that it is easy to be understood by the person who has several basic concepts of Buddism, and the Buddhist who has been practicing in Dharma for a long time.

It is absolutely not easy to be a genuinely good, honest human being in this world but it is very easy to be bad. It is easier to react to others badly such as we would involve in a fight, we would harm whoever had done bad things to us, and we would also hate the person who does not like us. However, the consequence of doing bad things is severe as it can lead us to be an animal in our next life, or to make it worst, we'll go to hell when we die.
