SERENE POETIC LINES<\/span> <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

(HT. Th\u00edch T\u1ecbnh \u0110\u1ee9c)<\/span><\/p>\n

Still smiling through everything changing<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nJust as the night ends, the day follows the night<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nWalking for a long time, people are tired and stopping for a break<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nPerching for a long time, birds feeling sad flap their wings to fly.<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nEscaping a forest hut, the soul is light and peaceful<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nSplitting the hair in pieces, they will be more troublesome<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nNothing loses, nothing gains<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nGoing back to sleep on the reed bank, white clouds fly.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Like clouds flying freely here and there<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nHelping sentient beings be more shades of the rain source<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nLightly watering the vegetable garden, cabbage, and melon<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nLetting the ground be full of flowers and buds<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nFinishing working, I go back to my old place<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nFarewell from life, peacefully sleeping forever…<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Most Venerable Elder Master Th\u00edch T\u1ecbnh \u0110\u1ee9c<\/strong><\/span>, the Abbot of \u0110\u1ea1o Quang Temple in Garland, Texas, had to go to the hospital for surgery because of his illness, and now he has returned to the Temple to recuperate. Due to his weak health and advanced age, his recovery was very slow and not very positive according to the prognosis of the medical doctors’ care! Yesterday during a visit by SBTN, they recorded a video clip of a poem he read as a message of his final teaching to Buddhists everywhere while he was lying on his sick bed. Praying the powerful blessings of the Triple Gem for his health for a quick recovery. <\/span><\/p>\n
