Dear Master,

 

On the occasion of your visit to Hoa Phuc Pagoda, we, Buddhists here, would like to show you our respect and emotion via tiny verses which may be impossible to fully express your compassion and immeasurable merits serving us and sentient beings. Nevertheless, with all of our hearts, we sincerely express gratitude to you, our dear master who has opened the path and led us to the enlightenment and liberation. Hoping that we will get many more opportunities paying homage to you and having your nourished dhamma talks in coming time. Finally, we would like to sincerely wish you peaceful, healthy, happy life and your Buddhism activities fulfilled.

 

Namo Amitabha Buddha.

His footsteps have traveled everywhere

For the sake of our happiness,

Saving his kids in flow of ignorance.

Dispeling the chilly long night in our life.

From Buddhist Lien Dang to Master Thich Chan Tinh on the occasion of his visit to Hoa Phuc Pagoda

  

Master’s Words ...

Noble, a yellow robe,

an air of dignity and virtue,

It’s our dear Master coming.

We feel happy

Pleased seeing you again.

With your gentle look

Your words spread out fragrance of meditative compassion

  

Helping us leave behind hatred, lust

Helping us leave behind slanderous attacks

Giving us a peaceful berth of life

As a shelter to trust in this shifty Saha.

Giving us wisdom and tolerance,

Let us see the ghost of impermanence, Acknowledging things and know how to love.

Giving us the path of mindfulness.

Your words are more likely nectar

Cooling down our hearts and dispossess our heavy bad deeds in ten directions.

Your words stay with us

Guiding good path during our lives.

"You never mind either praise or criticism,

Either happy or sorrowful,

You ignore either praise or criticism

All melt to the land of none”.

Today, as we pay homage to you, our dear  Master,

Our hearts direct toward the Truth.
