ATTENDING THE FUNERAL OF THE LATE SENIOR DHARMA TEACHER, MOST VENERABLE TH\u00cdCH GI\u00c1C \u0110\u1ee8C, AND BEING BLESSED TO MEET BHANTE BHIKKHU BODHI IN PERSON<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Bhante Bhikkhu Bodhi<\/em>,<\/span>
\nMy Dharma name is Th\u00edch Tr\u1eebng S\u1ef9. For a long time, I have heard of your virtuous reputation through your correspondence with the Most Venerable Elder Th\u00edch Minh Ch\u00e2u and Senior Dharma Teacher Th\u00edch Gi\u00e1c \u0110\u1ee9c. However, I have not yet had the fortunate opportunity to meet you in person.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"
\nOver the past five years, my students and I have frequently studied the English translations of the Nik\u0101ya scriptures that you have translated, as well as the Vietnamese translations of the Nik\u0101ya scriptures by Most Venerable Th\u00edch Minh Ch\u00e2u. We, along with many other Buddhists, always express our deep gratitude for the great contributions made by both of you..<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAlthough you represent the Therav\u0101da tradition, your heart contains the seed of Mah\u0101y\u0101na compassion, reflecting a profound and long-standing connection with Vietnamese Buddhism from its early days until now.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You are not only a respected, humble, and simple translator of the Buddhist Canon \u2014 widely known and admired across the world \u2014 but also a shining example for Buddhists everywhere, including countless Vietnamese followers who look up to you with deep reverence.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThanks to the spiritual connection with the late Dharma Teacher, Most Venerable Th\u00edch Gi\u00e1c \u0110\u1ee9c, we were blessed with the rare and joyful opportunity to meet you and the Sangha both at the Funeral Home and at Boston Buddhist Temple, which was founded by the late Dharma Teacher in Massachusetts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nBhante, you are truly a sincere, steadfast, and devoted Dharma teacher, always expressing loving-kindness, reverence, and deep gratitude toward the senior masters in the Dhamma across various traditions. We deeply respect, admire, and honor you as a radiant and exemplary teacher \u2014 a role model for everyone to study, practice, and follow.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nMay the blessings and power of the Triple Gem always protect and support you with peace, happiness, and good health, and may all your noble works in the Dhamma be completely fulfilled.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWe are profoundly grateful for your deep respect and heartfelt tribute to the late Dharma Teacher Th\u00edch Gi\u00e1c \u0110\u1ee9c, as well as for your meaningful Dharma sharing. <\/span><\/p>\n

The funeral ceremony of the late Venerable Dharma Teacher, Most Venerable Th\u00edch Gi\u00e1c \u0110\u1ee9c was solemnly and respectfully organized by the Sangha of the Unified Vietnamese Buddhist Congregation Overseas, under the spiritual guidance of the Elder Most Venerable President, Th\u00edch Vi\u00ean L\u00fd. The ceremony was conducted with deep reverence, gratitude, and heartfelt remembrance in the spirit of Dharma fellowship.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nOn this occasion, we and the Sangha sincerely offer our prayers and pay wholehearted homage to the venerable spirit of the late Senior Dharma Teacher, Most Venerable Th\u00edch Gi\u00e1c \u0110\u1ee9c, who has recently passed away.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

May his awakened spirit swiftly ascend to the Buddha\u2019s realm, and in due time, return to this world to continue the noble mission of spreading the True Dharma for the benefit and well-being of all beings throughout this planet.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Namo Buddha.<\/span><\/strong>
\nNamo Dhamma.<\/span><\/strong>
\nNamo Sangha.<\/span><\/strong>
\nWith deepest respect and gratitude,<\/span><\/strong>
\nYour humble students in the Dhamma,<\/span><\/strong>
\nVenerable Th\u00edch Tr\u1eebng S\u1ef9<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
