My teacher steadfastly ordained
Forty years, still full of previous prayers.
Practicing Dharma for years
Just hoping to repay her for the four deep gratitudes.
Converting nuns and building a temple,
Propagating the Dharma, enlightening the liberated way.
Loving the whole world,
Never thinking of fame, worldly comments
Smiles always blooming
Walking tranquilly, though humbly.
Sorrow over many lives,
Thanks to Master guiding me, I return to the true mind.
Let me understand impermanence,
Suffering, selflessness, to love life.
Life is dark, goes crazy
Thanks to Master, the ignorance recedes.
Happy people live in Dharma,
Also thanks to what the great Master handed on.
We are all your nun disciples,
Grateful to Master and trying to practice.
To cultivate virtue and purity,
Sacrifice for Buddhism, integrity, and filial piety.
With a sincere heart,
Grateful to Master for years.
Take me to leave behind delusion,
Ignorance ends, and I return to Buddha nature.
Someday leaving the world
I still remember the vastness of your love.
I wish you live a long life,
Leading posterity, enlightening the way for others.
On the occasion of Vietnam Teachers' Day and the 40th anniversary of Master's ordination and propagation of Buddhism, we would like to express our gratitude to the beloved Master Giới Hương, who is always dedicated to the cause of young monastic training and developing Buddhism. I wish our master and sisters at Hương Sen Temples in Vietnam and the United States lasting health, achievements, and the complete fulfillment of your dreams.
Namo Amitabha Buddha.
