For a long time, we have not had the chance to visit Venerable Giới Hương and her nuns. First of all, I would like to wish her and her nun disciples good health and peaceful minds. We had a chance to attend the Vu Lan ceremony and inauguration of the great bell. The ten acres of land are majestic. I imagine when the project is completed, the temple scene will be spacious and beautiful. You are a noble and virtuous nun, who had a predestined relationship with the Buddhas, so the beautiful view is brought by you. I pray that all of the projects of Hương Sen Temple will be completed smoothly and quickly.
On this occasion of writing for Forty Years in the Dharma: A Life of Study and Service—Venerable Bhikkhuni Giới Hương, we would like to send our gratitude to musicians Nam Hưng and many other musicians, such as Hoàng Quang Huế, Nguyễn Tuấn, Khánh Hoàng, Khánh Hải, Võ Tá Hân, Nguyên Hà, Hoàng Y Vũ, Uy Thi Ca, Giác An, etc., who volunteered to convert poems by Ven. Giới Hương into songs so that we have many pieces of wonderful music, songs that go into people's hearts. When singing, Thúy Anh seemed to receive every musician’s stream, every line of poetry went into my heart, so absorbed in rhyme and tunes. . . Thúy Anh thought that the audience at the vegetarian banquet who enjoyed the music album of Hương Sen Pagoda was also penetrated by the emotional vibrations to feel love and admire Buddhist music more. We also thank musicians who put eleven volumes of Hương Sen Pagoda's music on Youtube, so that anyone who loves music can read the lyrics, sing along, and enjoy each song to its fullest.
We would like to send our warm regards to musicians, singers, and relatives, especially to the highly talented young Venerable Giới Hương. We hope to receive more of your contributions to Buddhist lyrics. Wherever we go, we prefer to sing the songs of Hương Sen Pagoda. Looking forward to seeing you again early in the Spring of the Mouse Year 2020.
