Teachings From Ancient Vietnamese Zen Masters – 12
This book is dedicated to my three teachers -- The Zen Master Thich
Tich Chieu, and the late Dharma Masters Thich Thien Tam and Thich
Tai Quang; to all my parents in this life and other lives; to a very special
layperson who is urgently needing help from Avalokitesvara
Bodhisattva; and to all sentient beings.
I am grateful to a lot of Zen monks and laypersons who translated the
verses composed by ancient Vietnamese Zen Masters into the modern
Vietnamese language, and made reference easy for later generations.
Specifically, I am indebted to the Zen Masters Thich Thanh Tu, Tri Sieu
Le Manh That and to layperson Tran Dinh Son, whose works I relied on
while working on this book.
