I am (Chi Phạm) is an ex-student of the Southeast Asia Department at University of California, Riverside, and studied the same Univerisity and faculty with Master Giới Hương (2014-2016). I went to visit Huong Sen Pagoda and took refuge under Master Giới Hương who gave me the Buddhist name Viên Bảo Chuyên (means the precious complete diligence). After graduation, I returned to Vietnam to teach, get married and has a daughter (see picture below).
Life seems to stop there, but the diligence like my Buddhist name which makes me excited to strive to learn. With the blessings of the Buddhas, I got a Postdoctoral scholarship at the University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany, and the surprising and remarkable thing is that my daughter also followed me to Germany too. My life is really blessings since I was lucky to meet you and Huong Sen Temple.
Dear Master, on the occasion, Hương Sen Temple made the collection of writings: “Forty Years in the Dharma: A Life of Study and Service - Venerable Bhikkhuni Giới Hương," I and Lâm Anh wish you good health and peace of mind in the glory of the Buddhas. Buddha.
Our wishes in German are below:
Ich bin dankbar, dass ich Sie kennengelernt habe.
Ich wünsche Ihnen Gesundheit, Frieden und Wohlstand.
