  1. FAMILY
    Most Venerable Thich Nhu Minh, whose world name is Huynh Phac, was born on
    the 27th day of the 6th month of the lunar Year of the Horse (1954), at the white
    sand beaches of Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa province to a devoted Buddhist family.
    His father is Mr. Huynh At with the Dharma name Như Khai, and his mother is
    Mrs. Le Thi Xich, Dharma name Nguyen Xuan.
    II. CHILDHOOD
    Venerable Nhu Minh was raised in the love of his parents, and when he finished
    his first class of elementary school, they left their hometown to live in the wild

2

highlands of Quang Duc province; today Daknong province. His family had a
house with wooden walls and thatched roof with rattan leaves in Sung Duc
commune. Later the next year they moved to a new house in Kien Tin commune,
Kien Duc district. The following year (1960) Venerable Master’s family came to
settle down in this land, where they still live.
Near his house, there was a pagoda called Liên Hoa (Lotus Flower) located on a
beautiful hillside, where the Venerable Master Thich Tri Huy (as the Proved
Master, Chief Representative of Buddhism in Quang Duc Province, Abbot of Phap
Hoa Pagoda, the provincial headquarters of Buddhism) lived and spread
Buddhism.
Venerable Master Thich Tri Huy was ordained by Patriarch Hoang Thac at Thach
Son Quang Ngai, a co-teacher with Elder Chon Giam Dao Quang Tri Hai (1876
–1950), the editor of Tu Bi Am Buddhist magazine. In 1958, he left Pho Quang
Pagoda in Quang Ngai to Quang Duc to establish Phap Hoa Pagoda. Venerable
Master’s father took refuge with the Venerable Elder Monk and became a member
of the Representative Board of Lien Hoa Temple.
As a child, Venerable Như Minh often followed his parents to the temple every
fortnight, in addition to attending festivals to worship Buddha and recite sutras.
Thanks to such a predestined relationship, Venerable Nhu Minh followed the ideal
path of Buddhism under the guidance of Master Trí Huy.
III. MONASTIC EDUCATION
In the Mouse Year (1965), Venerable Nhu Minh was accepted as a monastic
disciple by the Most Venerable Chon Bich at Dao Lien Pagoda, and Tri Huy
(1917–1970) bestowed the Dharma name Nhu Minh.
In the summer of 1967, after two years of diligent study and practice as a young
novice, Rev. Nhu Minh was ordained by the Most Venerable Master Tri Huy and
officially entered the Cao Khe Buddhist Order and became a member of Phap Hoa
Pagoda.
In the Rooster Year (1969), on the occasion of the Enlightenment Day of
Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, Rev. Nhu Minh received the Ten Novice Precepts

3

ordination ceremony under his Elder, Most Venerable Master Tri Huy. But
unfortunately, half a year later, Master Tri Huy passed away on the afternoon of
the first day of the lunar year, the Dog Year, in 1970.
In 1970, Venerable Nhu Minh completed four years of Middle School at Quang
Duc High School. Because this province did not have a high school level, he had to
move to the neighboring province of Dak Lak to study at Ban Me Thuot General
High School. Here, Venerable Như Minh was admitted to live at Sac Tu Khai
Doan Pagoda by the Venerable Abbot Thich Quang Huy.
After passing the baccalaureate exam in 1974, Venerable Như Minh attended the
Faculty of Buddhism at Van Hanh University in Saigon. The President of Van
Hanh University is the Most Venerable Thich Minh Chau. In the same year,
Venerable Nhu Minh studied at the Eastern Philosophy Faculty at Van Khoa
University in Saigon.
The Vietnamese historical event on April 30, 1975 happened, and the Government
of the Vietnamese Republic dissolved the universities, including Van Hanh
University, which was closed. Therefore, a year later, the president of Van Hanh
University decided to move Van Hanh University to a new address at 716 Vo Di
Nguy street, the 4 th Ward, Phu Nhuan District, Saigon. Venerable Như Minh
followed the instructions of President Thich Minh Chau and the Venerable
Bhikkhuni Thich Nu Tri Hai (Head of Van Hanh University Library) to transfer the
entire Buddhist Library to the Van Hanh Institute of Buddhist Studies. Here, the
Venerable President directed the major in Buddhist studies and continued to
translate and print sections of the Pali Canon (two sets of the Collection of Long
Discourses (Pali: Dīghanikāya) and the Collection of Middle Length Discourses
(Pali: Majjhima Nikāya) at Van Hanh University, the Chinese Tripitaka, Buddhist
research, Vietnamese Buddhist history, authoring, translating, and teaching
Buddhist Studies to student monks and nuns and lay Buddhists.
In the Dragon year (1976), Ven. Nhu Minh paid homage to the Most Venerable
Thich Minh Chau whose titled Master Thich Vien Dung (1918-2012), the High
Priest, the Heart of the Law, became the teacher of Ven. Nhu Minh. Master Thich
Minh Chau agreed and gave him the Dharma name Nguyen Khong and sent

4

Ven. Nhu Minh to ordain him with the Bhikkhu precepts at the Quang Duc
ordination ceremony at An Quang Temple in January 1977. It was the first
ordination ceremony organized by the Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam since
1975. The precept masters in the ordination consisted of the dignified and virtuous
monks: the Elder Venerable Thich Tri Thu (the president), the Elder Venerable
Thich Hanh Tru (the nest leader), the Elder Venerable Thich Don Hau (the
lawyer), the Elder Venerable Thich Mat Hien (the teacher) and the Elder Venerable
Thich Thien Tuong (the instructor).
IV. STUDYING DHARMA

After being ordained as a new bhikkhu under the tutelage of the Elder Venerable
Minh Chau at the Van Hanh Institute of Buddhist Studies, Ven. Nhu Minh took
refuge from his Master to study the way, consult and study the scriptures, and
practice the precepts and stateliness. At that time, Ven. Nhu Minh was one of six
members on the director’s board of Van Hanh Institute of Buddhist Studies. Every
day, in addition to his work as a librarian at the Van Hanh Buddhist Library, he
joined the class to learn the Collection of Middle-length Discourses (Pali:
Majjhima Nikāya), the Pali language and Buddhism in English (taught by
President Thich Minh Châu), Sanskrit (instructed by the Most Venerable Tri Sieu),
and Buddhism (guided by the Most Venerable Tue Sy). The Buddhist studies
program was long-lasting and continued until the spring of 1984.
V. SHARING DHARMA
As a monk, spreading the Dharma is a noble aspiration. Therefore, Venerable Nhu
Minh always remembered the Patriarchs’ teachings of taking the Buddha's
compassion and wisdom to nurture his own bodhi mind for the peace and
happiness for himself and others in this life. In order to fulfill that wish, Venerable
Nhu Minh diligently studied for many years the Canon scriptures (translated into
Vietnamese from Pali by his master, Thich Minh Chau) and Mahayana sutras such
as the Lotus Sutra (Sanskrit: Saddharmapuṇḍarīka-sūtra), Nirvana Sutra, and the
Flower Ornament Scripture (Sanskrit: the Avatamsaka Sutra), and the Diamond
Sutra (Sanskrit: Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra), and so on.

Looking back on 20 years of preaching Dharma in the United States, the Most
Ven. Nhu Minh devoted himself wholeheartedly for the sake of Dharma. Although
his aspirations were high and wide, his strength was limited, all the Buddha works
have been accomplished thanks to the grace of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, the
saints, the support and devotion of monks, nuns, and many lay Buddhists.
VII. EPILOGUE
The Buddha taught that all things are illusory, the body is unreal. Life and death
are cyclical. The mind without both the appearance and disappearance is the great
joy of the eminent monk. Recalling Truc Lam Dai Si's two-syllable exclamation,
his heart fluttered like the moonlight shining in the two parallel rhymes that Master
Thich Tue Si offered to the Most Ven. Nhu Minh:
Penetrating the compassion, regardless of many lifetimes, I vow to be close.
Thanks to the saving, regardless how the body is destroyed, I vow to bear.
Venerable Nhu Minh’s ideal and vow was to dedicate himself for the sake of the
Buddhadharma. So throughout his journey of cultivation, from the moment he took
a good predestined step into the temple gate as a young novice, and then as a
Bhikkhu. As he went through a long path of propagating the Dharma, he always
followed the shining role model of his virtuous two masters. He spent his entire life
carefully observing the precepts, studying, and consulting the Tripitaka (the Triple

10

Basket) with the vow of propagating the Dharma and dedication to the ideals of
Vietnamese Buddhism.
The Most Venerable Thich Nhu Minh has come and walked in an illusory world.
The 44 th lineage of the Lam Te Sect, the Abbot of Vietnam Temple, Los Angeles
and Thich Thien An Zen Monastery, Atlanta, titled Nguyen Khong, means “the
Most Venerable Thich Nhu Minh, Dai Phuong Master.”
