Dr. Venerable TN Giới Hương
Just remember the day I started to enter into the Buddhist University, now it is the fourth semester. Recalling the day when I registered the Course I of English Dharma Class which was taught by Venerable Giới Hương, is now near the end of the class. On the occasion of “Forty Years in the Dharma: A Life of Study and Service - Venerable Bhikkhuni Giới Hương" we write a couple of lines of respect to you as a deep appreciation from our A1 class to you.
Every person we meet in this life is a precious guest of our lives. If people like us, they will give us warmth and sincerity. If people don't like us, we will give them tolerance and generosity. Therefore, positive or negative is also the benefactor of our life. In life, we always meet the joys and sorrows, unite and separation, merging and dissolving, prosperity and failure are the general laws of the creation. From there, we look at ourselves on the Dharma path and the conditions of encounters. Although there are different personalities, such as cheerful, quiet, smart, quick-witted people, who can also live and work together in a place. Likewise, we are those from the North and the South, each of us seems to have a good relationship in the class A1 (course XII), is taught by you. Even it is a short time only 3 months in Vietnam, you don't mind to come over the long-distance from USA to Vietnam for us. Every year, you are back to the beloved Buddhist University to teach us and other classes. We met in few courses, but the big thanks are always still in our hearts.
Your 40 year-journey through the Dharma with so many sorrows and joys, so that it is today, you can propagate the Dharma both in the your homeland and foreign country. Whether life will be successful or challenged, we wish you always healthy and peaceful to spread dharma to human beings.
It was predestined to meet each other, not only just as your students, we would like to express hundreds of thousands of thanks which were never enough. We promise to practice diligently and wish all the auspicious goodness to you. Below are a few commemorative images of the class to you.
