Happy to come across a fine place,

I firmly propagate Buddhism for salvage.

When I set foot on the Nhon Nghia village,

When wickedness mingles with the lay.

Godly Power brings the mystical Way,

Who knows He’s distributing beatitude.

Once Rabbit is gone, Dragon flies confused,

Global adversity makes peoples wrathful.

All the populace is distressful,

Families are in tatters, shedding blood.

I’m so moved that I could go nuts,

Propagating Tao, I pledge to save humans.

I dream for the world to be cosmopolitan,

Everywhere, Lac-Hong will enjoy peace.

Unfortunately, social life is too bleak,

‘Cause global enmity keeps coming about.

I paint shapes, then I paint clouds,

I paint the idyllic Fairy Land.

I also paint the world as transient,

Guiding human souls from darkness.

For the villagers of all ages,

I pray for you to get Buddha’s graces.

POEM

Confucian ethos weigh on your shoulders,

To be imbued with Buddha’s favors.

Keep being mindful all the way through,

Your exaltation will one day come true.

Four seas once at peace, all rivalty is gone,

As all have a wholesome aspiration.

Cultivate yourself in search for an old root,

Only on Fairy Land will your rest be good.

Seeking an exaltation, seek in your mind,

In search for the old Buddha, always strive.

With lush foliage which looks pictoresque,

The Mountain will change all its virgin forest.

Though one sees only trees and rocks today,

The Five Hills are a castles’ hideaway.

They wait for scions to uphold their customs,

On the Ancient Age, birds chord with plums.

I stay up to kindle someone’s sense,

Mậu’s luxuriant trees are niffy with incense.

Quit cotton roses and you will be reprieved,

THANH-Thới’s family will be relieved.

Trouble-free, you may get on an Fairy path,

As of now, you meditate to obtain PrajnaBát-nhã (tiếng Phạn: Prajñā, tiếng Nam Phạn: paññā, chữ Hán: 般若) là thuật ngữ Phật giáo, hàm nghĩa Trí tuệ, Tuệ, Nhận thức.https: Phật giáo Nam truyền được truyền bá từ Ấn Độ đến Sri Lanka và các nước trong lục địa Đông Nam Á, đặc biệt là Myanmar, Thái Lan, Lào, Campuchia và Nam Bộ Việt Nam. Đặc điểm chung của hệ Phật giáo Nam truyền là sử dụng hệ kinh điển Pali làm tiêu chuẩn trong thực hành tu tập.[1] Theo truyền thống Phật giáo Nam truyền, kinh văn Pali là những văn bản ghi lại nguyên vẹn những lời giảng của Đức Phật trong suốt cuộc đời truyền bá giáo pháp của mình. Do sự suy tàn của Phật giáo Ấn Độ, nguồn kinh văn Pali chủ yếu được bảo tồn ở Sri Lanka và được phân phối lại cho các vùng lãnh thổ còn lại. Tuy tồn tại những bản dịch bằng ngôn ngữ bản địa để phục vụ cho việc tìm hiểu giáo pháp, nhưng các tu sĩ Nam truyền vẫn sử dụng nguyên ngữ Pali trong quá trình tu tập..

The day you should get enlightened,

You get rid of your previous lives’ burdens.

Your old burdens arise from self-immersion,

Cultivate Tao as needed for your vocation.

Train your character and cleanse your mind,

All debts paid off , you won’t be contrite.

Contrition is common to the world of Sa-ba,

Hasten back to Buddhaland and you’re afar.

Awakened, you’ll hereafter meet your lord,

Dusted off, the Ma-ha must be sought.

The Ma-ha is extremely sweet as honey!

Foxy and sneaky hordes rule the worldly.

They bare their fangs and crave fat meat,

This never wears off a zenist compassionate.

The zenist endeavors to achieve their goal,

Odes are so mystical as to move souls.

Sadly, worldly manners are a disgrace!

Tao transcends it as is from a Hermitage.

Hermitage is of Ancient Sakyamuni Buddha,

Snowy scarps melt out the Noble Eightfold Path!

His popular edification has rapidly grown.

As His global reputation is well-known.

(The above poems of four sentences were handed by Master over to Mr. Võ Mậu-Thạnh at Nhon Nghia Village)

A pure lightning descends like a flash,

I transmigrate from the Person of Past.

Buddha and Fairy run a screening test,

In search for the meritorious to fetch.

What a disastrous tsunami from all over!

A mid-air blaze keeps going undeterred.

Myriad assets and fields are all gone,

Godly powers demonstrate on Central Zone.

The hells are full of Impermanent devils,

Escorting brutes’s souls to Hell King’s tribunal.

From afar, my tears well up streaking down,

I pity the worldly who, ignorant, always drown.

I lower my hand to write the final oracle,

Who understands cuckoos’ first call?

Mad’s misfortune is ironical,

Albeit adrift, my repute has gone global.

Despite the rich being cozy and comely,

Society is in my ironclad care and custody.

Sadly I try to voice my own reproach,

Against folks braving tigers and foxes.
