(...) As I am a monk, living in the time of Dharma, I have added a wealth of karma. But on the way to cultivate with a strong effort, I still believe that I have a true person, my faith is solidly without any doubt. I do not say the problem of cultivating at all, just saying firmly, that is:  where I have a true person . 
In the past, I felt guilty that I did not have the same blessing as the Venerable Master, who was a monk from the age of seven, aged eleven or twelve. When I was in my twenties, I became a monk, telling me it was too late. When I entered the temple, I learned that I was cultivating in the time of the Dharma, probably not going forward!To cultivate is to keep good conditions for the next life, without hope for a supreme morality!
Our Patriarchs often reminded me: "I was born in the Dharma time, I used Luc Tu Di Da, recited Buddha's name after the Buddha's procession came back to his country. Through it, even if it was born, it was low. I am more happy than I am suffering. " Rest assured, I don't think anything more than trying to sow some grace with the Dharma. 
However, I have a habit of doing something that I don't dare to be complacent.Although the Master Teacher taught that, but when I studied the sutras, I saw the Buddha by meditating and becoming enlightened. I did not accept reciting Buddha's name to return to Buddha's country to be his son, so it must be sad. So I groped to try to see what Buddha taught.
We clearly see that the Buddha was meditating under the Bodhi tree and was enlightened, not reciting Buddha's name but enlightened. So follow the example of my Lord, practicing meditation. But miserable, who teaches me to sit and read books? I recently searched in Tibet, read more Zen books. How hard to understand! I am very pessimistic, it is true that I was born in a legal age, there is no way to progress! 
But I have a firm belief that I have to practice meditation to attain virtue, because that is the way that Buddha and the Patriarchs have gone. So I decided to meditate, what will happen when the incident happens. I took myself as an experiment, and lived well, and died well. How absurd, the Buddha cultivated one way, but perhaps I cultivated a path?
And then when I started to practice, we had to grope for the time because there was no teacher, there was no proper guidance. Thanks to the grace of the Buddhas we see a bit of morality to uphold the belief that we have a true human being. And we affirm that, no doubt about it. Suppose now there are so many arguments or how many people say there is no true person, I still shake my head never accept. 
I dare to liken myself like Mr. Dai Mai Phap Thuong. After the consultation with Ma To, he went to Dai Mai mountain to hide. Ma-ning heard that he was in the mountain without knowing what he was enlightened in, so a monk increased his exploration. The monk came to ask: 
- What did you get from Ma To to this mountain? 
He replied:
- I only listened to Ma To say "Buddha's Righteous Mind", I received the reason that I should return to this mountain. 
The monk said: 
- But recently I heard Ma To say "Phi Tam Phi Buddha". 
He replied: 
- That old man fascinated people. Although he said "Non-Minded Buddha", but I only know "News of Buddha's Mind" only. 
After listening, the monk returned to Bach Ma again. Ma To told them, "Tomorrow is ripe!" So what does "ripe" mean? Ma Ma is his teacher, who said "The Buddha's Mind That" now changed "Phi Tam Phi Buddha". His Holiness is still confident, making him cultivate without turning.
Although I practiced not as much as Dai Mai's, I firmly believed that there was nothing that did not kill me. No matter what anyone says, I still insist that where I have a true human being, immortal. Because of that true human being, we are liberated, we enter Nirvana. If not, who frees? Who entered Nirvana? 
The truth in me is not a mysterious distant thing but very practical. If we use our mind to meditate, we will see it, without doubt. When we can see the true truth, even though we have not been this master, even though we have not committed ourselves in birth and death, we are not suffering when we lose it.
Although I have not mastered myself, but I firmly believe that losing this body is not fearful. And those who have spiritual will do not feel as inferior as I did before, assuming that they are born in the age of Dharma, the blessed karma, etc., but we must see that we are still in love with the virtue, we can gain Your teachers, your reminders, and how many Buddhist scriptures are read, not yet we are immeasurable.
In the past, we were pessimistic when we thought that the time of Dharma practice, the practitioner never had any evidence, had attained enlightenment, and the time of righteous dhamma could only be attained. But after studying Buddhism, we just don't see it all the time. At the time of the Dharma, when the Buddha was still there, there were still many Bhikshus who were devastated because they were not determined to practice. As for the time of the Dharma, if we are determined on the path of cultivation, we can progress. The Dharma or the Dharma is the core of our mind, if we do not decide to practice it, even in the time of righteous dhamma, it will also be seen as Dharma!
Therefore, we do not have the guilt that we were born in the Dharma and then let go of our spiritual life, every day the two chanting sessions are called sowing a good grace with the path! We should not be so pessimistic, but must strive to cultivate, to convert the Dharma into Dharma. The spirit of a cultivator is whether we live in any time, we must try to rise up, cultivate diligently until the day of happiness and fullness. (...) .END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.27/4/2019.
