   Read in Vietnamese

casperThe quest is to find out whether ghosts exist and what are they? are they real? what do they look like? where are they? can they harm us? are they “scary”? how does one get rid of ghost? etc… All of us often have similar questions. Those of us who never “see ghost” would be curious to know if they are real, and those of us whom the chance “meeting and seeing ghosts” has scared the daylight out of us would also want to know for sure if they really exist. We will explore “ghosts” under the Buddhist viewpoint and teachings.

Tâm Duyên Translated to English    Read in Vietnamese

chess gameFollowing disappointments in love and career, Ka-jo-ju went to a monastery high in the mountain and told the master: “Master, I have seen the faces of life and wish to be released from suffering. However I am unable to stick with anything for long. I cannot stay in a state of religious contemplation. I get discouraged and return to the world, although I can’t stand it. Ending my life may be the best way. Oh Master, is there an easier course for me?”
“Of course.” The master looked at him coldly. “If you are faithful. Tell me what you have learned? What do you know? What are you talents? Is there anything you have focused on?”

Giáng Kiết Tường Translated to English  Read in Vietnamese

sarusAutumn has arrived in Lumbini once again. Each early morning, I am awakened and being greeted with a melodious orchestra performed by numerous birds. At first there are the distinct 4-syllable calls of the laughing thrush that sounded like “come to buddha” (notes: because of their sing-song calls, in Viet Nam, they are named “bat co troi cot” birds and have their own folklore tale).
Then the mix of high-pitch voice of the elephant birds can be heard intermittently with the deep baritone of the collared doves. The whole universe seems to break out with oodles of tones and voices of all the singsong birds.
