There is a job with full of chalk dust

We call it the noblest profession

There is a job without plant trees in the soil

But giving life the fragrant flowers. [1]

(“There Is Such a Job” [Có một nghề như thế] -Đinh Văn Nhã)

Boat-driving and planting people (teaching career) are considered the most noble profession, but few people dare to choose, because once you choose, you have to sacrifice a lot. Even we use many golden words, pearls and precious objects, we cannot fully express our gratitude and respect to teachers.

The wish of Venerable Bhikkhuni Giới Hương and other teachers are to see students who can accomplish the "learn method" and "practice method", and then join their hands and shoulders to share the responsibilities of the great monastics, the Tathagata’s messengers in turning the dharma wheels.

We monks and nuns as a whole, would like to pay homage at the feet of religious teachers, to show our deep gratitude to you. We inscribe in our heart your noble sacrifice, which is the big motivation for us to overcome all difficulties as well as apply the words of Venerable Bhikkhuni Giới Hương and another teachers to transform the body and mind for the make of many
