Forty Years in the Dharma: A Life of Study and Service-

Venerable Bhikkhuni Giới Hương

As of September 2018, it has been forty years since Venerable TN Giới Hương was ordained as a Buddhist Nun. On this occasion, there were many suggestions from senior monastics, colleagues, practitioners, students and laypeople, both in and out of the country, who proposed that we should make a book of collected writings: “Forty Years in the Dharma: A Life of Study and Service - Venerable Bhikkhuni Giới Hương" both in English and Vietnamese. These sincere and earnest suggestions have been considered, and this time we agreed because we realized that a collection such as this would be a valuable spiritual gift that will help us teach and share Buddhism, as well as helping us to fulfill our noble duty in the coming years. It would also provide meaningful and useful lessons for the sake of our Nun disciples and close devoted Buddhists.

We would like to receive writings from the most respectful Monks and Nuns, friends and Buddhists to make the content rich and diverse. The category of artistic compositions includes literature, poetry, memoirs, music, and painting. Please attach the writer’s photo and email. It would be good if there are any pictures relating to Hương Sen Temple or Venerable Bhikkhuni Giới Hương.

Please email your work to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. before December 31, 2019 for publication and we will take care of translating it into English or Vietnamese. We very much appreciate your contributions for this Dharma project. 

Namo Amitabha Buddha.
