Gil Fronsdal Read in Vietnamsese
Most contemporary Buddhists know that Prince Siddhartha, the Buddha-to-be, left his family in search of liberation on the day his son, Rahula, was born. Many have been perplexed, sometimes outraged, at such a seemingly irresponsible act. What is less well-known, though, is that after his awakening, the Buddha became his son’s primary parent for most of the boy’s childhood. From the time Rahula was seven, he was under the care of his father, who proved to be a remarkably effective parent: Rahula had reached full awakening by the time he reached adulthood. So we can ask, what kind of parent was the Buddha? What kind of parenting techniques did he use? How did an enlightened teacher convey his spiritual message to his own child? |

Excerpt from the book titled “Non-Self” by TT Thich Tri Sieu Viên Minh translated to English Read in Vietnamese Normally when people go to the temple (and we’re not talking about those who just spent time doing routine volunteer works), they usually want to learn about Zen (meditation) or Pureland or Tantric Buddhism, etc… to find a tradition that leads them toward total salvation and enlightenment. But have you ever question what is there to enlighten? Who to save? |

by Dr. Christophe André Lire en Vietnamien Samedi dernier, j’ai vécu deux moments intenses; différents, mais que j’ai ressentis dans une continuité. Le matin, j’assistai à la communion d’un de mes neveux. Il y avait une quinzaine d’enfants sur l’autel, la nef de l’église était remplie de familles et d’amis. Le tout dans un incroyable tumulte. Le public bavardait pendant l’office, à tel point que le curé dut demander plusieurs fois le silence. Les parents et proches allaient et venaient pour trouver les meilleurs angles pour leurs photos ou leurs films. Les jeunes communiants étaient psychologiquement dispersés, chuchotant entre eux, observant le public pour y retrouver les visages connus au lieu d’écouter le prêtre. À un moment, un des diacres fut même obligé de prendre dans ses mains la tête d’un des garçons, qui faisait des grimaces à ses amis sur les bancs, pour la tourner doucement vers le curé qui tentait de s’adresser aux jeunes.
