POEM REVERENTLY OFFERED TO THE MOST VENERABLE
THÍCH TỊNH ĐỨC, THE ABBOT OF ĐẠO QUANG TEMPLE
POEM is the meaning of life
REVERENTLY offered to the Elder with many beautiful words
DONATED to the Master with his generous virtue
HARMONY and joy with disciples in daily and monthly cultivation
The UPPER direction is as diligent as the truth
PURE mind and happiness full of compassion
VIRTUE, good sign, solemn manners
DWELLING firmly in whenever helping life
OBSERVING the pure precepts everywhere
The TEMPLE is beautiful, quiet, shining with love
DHARMA love blooms all over the place
The LIGHT illuminates the World-Honored One’s Path.
By Ven. Thích Trừng Sỹ
