A life: a river
Who are the people waiting for us on the shore
To cross the river, we need a boat
Life has many directions, thanks to the boat driver.[1]
Every day, teachers are not afraid of rain and sun and come to the classroom to pass down knowledge and experience so that we can follow in the steps of the previous generation to maintain the spirit of propagating the Dharma. If there were no previous generations such as Ven. Bhikkhuni Giới Hương or other teachers, we would lose the way. Teachers are the lighthouse at sea in the middle of a stormy winter night for us. We endeavor to study, acquire knowledge, practice their teachings, and always remember to demonstrate our gratitude for their teaching and mentoring.
Fragrant flowers, owing to proper conditions
Good and talented people know how to attain.
We would like to wish that all of our teachers and especially Ven. Bhikkhuni Giới Hương be healthy, peaceful, and successful on their spiritual path so that they can transmit more knowledge and be a virtuous model for us.
The boat turned on the waterway,
Sadness and joy are left behind.
Although we make small mistakes when we are not good, not positive, not hard-working, your generosity is still vast, so that we can still enjoy your loving care.
Respectfully presented to Venerable Thích Nữ Giới Hương.
