THE PEOPLE COME TO THE PEOPLE: HOANG LIKE QUANG THANH.
KIEU MY DUYEN
Teacher, I respectfully invite you to say a few invitations to fellow Buddhists to attend Buddha's Birthday ceremony at Bao Quang Pagoda in the program The house is my home weekly.
Mr. Quang Thanh quickly accepted the words immediately:
- I'll call.
It was Wednesday afternoon, he called in to invite fellow countrymen to attend the Buddha's Birthday celebration at Bao Quang Pagoda, Santa Ana City and he also invited his compatriots to attend the ceremony of Truc Lam, vegetarian meal from 4 pm , listening to music, meditation music 5 hours and true 6 hours of Buddha's birthday begins.
In the afternoon of the same day, he called and said:
- I can't speak on your show Friday afternoon.
I was surprised, because for decades I knew the teacher when he promised something, he never practiced his promise.
He continued:
- I'm in the hospital.
I asked repeatedly:
- What's wrong, teacher, is it heavy? How do doctors say? Can you visit me?
- No problem, I'll come home tomorrow, I shouldn't visit.
Although he did not visit, I knew the doctor, the nurse, the hospital director, so it was normal for me to visit. I must have been busy, afraid of my time. But he is the benefactor of my family. When my mother passed away, he died
chanting super prayers for my mother. When I came to my brother-in-law, my cousin, and my husband, my teacher also prayed super, how could I not visit it. I called all the hospitals, I finally knew where he was.
We visited the Orange Coast Hospital to visit the teacher. His bed is near the window. He was closing his eyes, but we knew he was not sleeping.
He was thinner than last week I met the teacher, standing for a long time, I said:
- Teacher, we visit the teacher.
He opened his eyes and greeted us.
- Did the doctor say he never came back?
He said:
- A few days ago, there was no treatment. Take blood, measure blood pressure every day,
In the morning, he said, he went to exercise. Then he returned to the temple, prayed for the hero Ly Tong for 49 days.
When Ly Tong passed away, he performed a ceremony for KQ Ly Tong. Ceremony for 2 days, Saturday and Sunday. After the ceremony, everyone uses rice. I say :
- He just stayed at the hospital and his teacher's voice was too strong.
He said:
- I do my best to do anything.
I ask:
- Are you tired?
- I'm tired, I just came back from the hospital.
He was thin, and he was usually thin, and now he was sick, and he was thinner.
The next day, the teacher sat in a jeep in the Garden Grove culture. As I said before, he promised to do something, always kept his promise, even though he was sick.
On May 19, 2019, the teacher did not return to the temple to attend the Buddha's Birthday because he was in the hospital. Thich Minh Man said this was the first Buddha's birthday ceremony at the end of his life, Quang Thanh did not attend.
We visited the teacher at the hospital. He said that he was staying at the hospital without going to the temple, but the teachers Phuoc Hau, the nephew of the teacher and son of the second brother returned to prison, went to the monastery and Mr. Hue Minh. The young teachers are very good, work hard, so he is assured.
On Wednesday afternoon, Master Minh Man said, a few hours later, Mr. Quang Thanh will return to the temple. He said the hospital kept it, but Quang Thanh's teacher was certain of the lord. Mr. Minh Man said, if he wanted to visit Mr. Quang Thanh, he would wait a few more hours to visit.
When they arrived at night, Mr. Quang Thanh lay on the hospital bed. In the middle of the exhibition hall, and also the Vietnamese language class for students on the weekends.
The master is silent, among hundreds of Buddhists chanting. The teacher breathes with oxygen. One teacher said that the doctor said he had liver cancer that it was a serious period, only a few days left. Buddhists everywhere in California as well as many Buddhists from other states, travel here, hear the teacher Quang Thanh seriously, so come to pray for him.
Mr. Quang Thanh crossed the border to Indonesia, working as a Buddhist monk in a temple in a refugee camp. Settling in Cali, I knew the teacher when he was at Huong Tich Pagoda in Santa Ana City. Later, he founded Bao Quang Pagoda in Garden Grove. After buying a church in Santa Ana as a temple, the temple roof is curved like in Vietnam. He printed the book, Truc Lam newspaper to No. 73. Each year, he printed three times, the Great Buddha, Vu Lan and Xuan. The essay is very valuable, due to the professional writers of the Venerable Monks, writers, journalists and so on
Distributing rice to homeless people 26 years, every week for the third day. He did not sit and rest any day. Help roof roofs for flooding in your home country.
Organizing Vietnamese language classes for children, singing and dancing days, art galleries, bonsai trees, chamber music organizations. He held a program of the Venerable Master Ly, the Enlightenment Journey, and also worked with Vien Ly on television.
He took pictures very beautifully and won many international awards in the UK.
He composed many poems, and many musicians popularized music, and he gave many famous CDs and DVDs for meditation and religion.
Many musicians popularized music from his poetry. His pen name is Thanh Tri Cao. Musician Hoang Van Que, Vo Ta Han, Thuy Linh, Lam Hoang Thach, with sweet voices such as Nguyen Khang, Bao Yen, Quang Dung, Thuy Linh, Nguyen Hong Nhung, etc.
Today is the third day Mr. Quang Thanh from the hospital returned to Bao Quang Pagoda. He is still breathing. The teachers, nuns, nuns and Buddhists visited from morning to noon, and there were people around him 24 hours a day. Will will be done. But his dream is still many, unfulfilled, such as collecting many Buddhist monuments for the museum. Hundreds of his poems are not yet universal. The works of the teacher have not printed the holy books. etc. Has anyone gone in this life to fulfill all their dreams?
The most touching scene that Buddhists tell us. When the mother of the dying teacher in Vietnam. The family caller said that all descendants had the side of the old lady's bedside, but the lack of a teacher did not close her eyes. At that time he was chanting prayers for his mother's body. The family members transferred the phone to the teacher. One hand tapped, one hand held the phone and said:
- I bow to my mother, I go to peace. I can't go back.
Venerable Quang Thanh as well as the late Venerable Thich Tam Chau often told his disciples that "The Communists are not coming back".
We remember last week we visited the hospital. He told many stories. While the teacher told the story, the teacher's voice did not sound like it was the patient lying in the hospital.
- Strange, sister, there are Buddhists in the house preparing to withdraw their breathing tubes. I went to chant prayers and told me not to pull out the pipes so that I could pray. A little bit, the patient wakes up and lives until now, and many such cases.
And he continued:
- People who are about to die and chant prayers and prayers for them to resurrect, then I have to pay the results.
When talking, his face was happy. He smiled really hard, like telling the story of his life to his children.
Sometimes I invite him to be a speaker for me on the Unannounced Program of the Foreign Broadcasting System in Washington DC, broadcast everywhere. I asked very short questions, so he could talk a lot. A 60 minute program, no interlaced advertising. Sometimes the listeners call in and ask questions. The owner, the journalist Ngo Ngoc Hung often asked questions to the teacher. Readers who want to hear his voice about Buddha's Birthday, Vu Lan ceremony can visit Web vietnam - radio . com , on Friday at 9-10 pm, Washington, the program, "No appointment of Kieu My Duyen to listen again." Thich Quang Thanh is a speaker.
The teachers are very fond of Quang Thanh teacher so you are far away from Cali to visit Bao Quang pagoda to visit teachers, and those who are near each time he has a ceremony, hundreds of people attend.
His writings are very much like Art imprints, thick paper, very beautiful images. The works have won international awards. There are beautiful paintings in the temple, such as the dining room, on the walls, there are paintings that have won international awards.
There are many Buddha statues in the temple yard. There is a big Buddha statue under the tree. This ancient tree can cover the field. especially in the summer, gardeners have to donate a lot.
There is a boat of refugees in the lake. This is the largest Vietnamese relic in humanity. Hundreds of people left me in the sea, crossing the sea with a flimsy fishing boat. Someone has been bait for ca. Some boat people were beaten by pirates, or sunk waves. Refugees give up their lives to find Freedom, so that their children have a future.
Master Quang Thanh crossed the sea by boat. He was born in 1951 in Binh Thuan. The real name is Duong Thanh Tung. When he made poetry, he wrote the pen name Thanh Tri Cao.
Mr. Quang Thanh passed away at 12:45 am in the morning of Sunday, June 9, 2019, with the presence of Venerable Thich Chon Thanh, Venerable Minh Man, teacher Phuoc Hau, Mr. Hue Minh, and some male and female Buddhists around chanting super prayers for the Venerable Master.
Ever since the Venerable Master came to the temple, 24/24 hours have always been recited Amitabha Buddha's memorial. The small prayerful glass prayer in the gallery.
This morning when I received the news, I rushed to the temple. Not yet in my door, I heard warm chanting. Quang Thanh teacher around is a forest of flowers, all kinds of flowers, yellow chrysanthemum brilliant as a boat of flowers take him to Nirvana. Hoa Thuong Minh Man said:
- When Venerable Quang Thanh passed away, there was the Venerable Chon Thanh and me. Some teachers and Buddhists are by his side.
Every time I went to the temple, I met Chon Thanh, Minh Man, Phuoc Hau, Hue Minh, and many monks, and the head of the Buddhist family of Bao Quang Pagoda were all present. Everyone's face is sad. This morning I arrived, the eyelid of Quang Thanh teacher on the right hand still had tears in his eyes. Different from those times for Homeless rice. He was very happy, the joy in his eyes, the smile. He has a strong voice, so when talking, there is no need for a microphone. His voice is still strong, echoing in the wind.
The poet, photographer, flower arranger, young man, will soon be in bloom, Venerable Thich Minh Man said:
- No monk died without cremation. So did Mr. Quang Thanh, also cremated.
Mr. Quang Thanh has gone. His face was calm between the forest of flowers. A professional Buddhist woman brought flowers to the temple, cooked in the temple, sobbed to tell me:
- I can't accept the teacher.
I hugged her shoulder and said:
- Pray, pray for me to go calmly.
On the Friday afternoon of June 7, 2029, I spent a 60 minute program without advertising interruption talking about Mr. Quang Thanh, talking about the Buddhist work: praying for the sick, for the dead; culture: opening Vietnamese classes, Truc Lam newspaper; about society for rice for homeless people, for roofing money for victims of storms and floods in Vietnam.
I received many emails from many other countries calling, especially Ms Tuyet in Vietnam. She said she had heard many times the Venerable Quang Thanh was a speaker and listened to the sick teacher, she prayed for him. She is a Christian church member. Her uncle is the bishop.
Mail from many places sent to or via email. There were fellow countrymen who met the teacher in Indonesia, now that people go everywhere like Australia, Europe, the United States, anyone who hears that the sick doctor is praying for him.
To this day, thousands of people have prayed day and night for Mr. Quang Thanh. He must have returned to Nirvana. People will meet somewhere, there is no war, no refugees, jealousy.
The dream of Quang Thanh teacher is very much. Dreaming of Vietnam has Freedom of Democracy, Human Rights, Freedom of religion, Conservative territory and territorial sea. In the program of Enlightenment Journey of TV station teacher on December 18, when on the program as well as at the end of the program, he prayed for Vietnam as above.
Many people also dreamed like teachers, but that great dream has not been achieved yet, they are gone.
I have a dream like that.
11 noon on Sunday, more than 500 Buddhists, Hoa Thuong, Thuong To, Dai Duc, nuns and nuns came to Bao Quang Pagoda to bring Hoa Thuong to Peek Family Feneral Home, Westminster City. The sound of chanting is from the gallery, where Hoa Thuong Quang Thanh Vien is so sad.
The man stood in the living room, who stood along the way. Venerable Hoa Thuong was moved to the main hall. Here are the monks Chon Thanh, the Most Venerable Minh Man, the Venerable Thuong Ly, the Most Venerable Hue, the Venerable Phuoc Hau, and the Buddhists of the temple.
Now we do not know the date of the cremation, because we are still waiting for the monks to meet.
The Venerable Quang Thanh returned to the Buddha, but Bao Quang temple was still massive, towering in the wind.
Buddhists still go to the temple, and Vietnamese classes continue. The daily activities continued because last week when we went to the hospital to visit the teacher, he said he believed the young teachers continued to work no matter what happened to the teacher, the temple was not in debt.
Flowers are still blooming, birds are still chirping in the trees in the temple, but why the singing of birds is so sad, perhaps the abbot has gone, gone away and gone forever without returning to the temple. Ask for the soul of the blessing teacher for the Buddhists, for the countrymen to fulfill their dreams.
We stood in front of the hallway listening to the sound of the wind ringing the stone ring touching each other like the farewell of the pagoda's master is Quang Thanh teacher. He never went away again. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY=17/6/2019.
