Dear Venerable Bhikkhuni Giới Hương,
Congratulations, you have spent forty years in the monastic life. It's been a pleasure to study with you at the Advanced Buddhist Institute and then meet you again in a foreign country, the United States, over nearly twenty years.
We would like to wish you and all the nuns in your temple success in building Hương Sen Temple soon. May your work in training and sharing the Dharma for the sake of sentient beings also result in great achievements.
I would like to offer you a new poem:
POEM ON BUDDHA’S ENLIGHTENMENT DAY
My friend! Live and be happy in the present,
What's bothering the past with the future,
True happiness comes from a gentle breath,
From the heart of tranquil serenity. . .
Let go of all sorrow,
Live the full days we have,
Tomorrow we will be far, without regret
Smiles we offer for each other.
With love and a whole heart,
With a pure and bright soul,
Wishing you peace and happiness during the four seasons,
With smiles always on your lips.
Celebrating the Buddha’s Enlightenment Day
with boundless joy at Viên Ngộ Monastery,
Atlanta, USA, December 27, 2019
Truthfully,
Bhikkhu Tuệ Đức, aka Thích Nhuận Hải
