Trọc đầu đừng tưởng là sư
Có khi là kẻ giống như bụi đời,
“Dạ thưa” đừng tưởng vâng lời
Có khi trong dạ rối bời mưu mô

Con cúi đầu xin Phật
Xin Thiên chủ trên trời
Cho ông mặt trời đó
Bớt nắng nóng lại thôi.

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.

Why should we take the dual path of Meditation and Pure Land cultivation?
What did our founders mean when they set up the dual path of Meditation and Pure Land cultivation?

"Animal" is a lower tier than human, "Human" is ourselves, and "Saints" are holy people. When we compare these three forms of beings, we know that we will take the path of Saint, not the path of Animal.

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.

It is subjective to think that everything we say, every thoughts we have are accurate and precise. In other words, we could say these people are opinionated and prejudiced. It means that we only judge things based on our own beliefs or feelings without consulting others; or having no constructive discussion to really find the truth. It is actually a seriously bad issue of human being. (We will refer as the issue throughout this discussion).

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.
