The secret service didn`t, the school didn`t, my father didn`t, my mother didn`t, my sister didn`t. And I didn`t! True love of root monks and godesses were too far. The hottest problem for me. Your spiritual teachings are awekening for me. Better than the fallen Bibel is your spiritual presence. - Francesco Reinhardt Tue, 13 Oct 2009 01:02:09 +0100 http://www.plumvillage.org/articles/from-our-friends/208-bat-nha-is-now-a-legend-.html#comment-151 Your wisdom, compassion and loving kindness is a light in this world that no one can extinguish. I sobbed when I read your letter to your son; your love, intuition and 'light' shone like a beacon in the night. May your son and all monks be safe from unenlightened and fearful souls. - Linda Robertson Fri, 09 Oct 2009 10:03:30 +0100 http://www.plumvillage.org/articles/from-our-friends/208-bat-nha-is-now-a-legend-.html#comment-150 Dear Sister, I too am a mother (and grandmother). Your loving letter to your son inspires me. Your faith that he will be alright inspires me. I will pray for you and for him and for the whole sangha of brothers and sisters that they will be safe and will be able to support each other. Those of us in the sanghas here are working to heal the situation and we hold you close to our hearts. Thank you for opening your heart and for sharing the wisdom in your letter with us all. Peace, Eloise - Eloise Morley Fri, 09 Oct 2009 00:45:11 +0100 http://www.plumvillage.org/articles/from-our-friends/208-bat-nha-is-now-a-legend-.html#comment-136 This letter has watered seeds of compassion in me and supports in my pratice, beautifull!

We must not let despair influence our heart. It is very hard to remain compassionate when such things happen. That is exactly the practice. Only understanding and love will allow change, negativity promotes more problems. We know this, but to live it, in our lives day by day... that is exactly the practice. That is the way of Buddha. Blessings. - Cheryl Bernardi Wed, 30 Sep 2009 22:08:11 +0100 http://www.plumvillage.org/articles/from-our-friends/208-bat-nha-is-now-a-legend-.html#comment-106 Thank You, Sister, for this beautiful letter to your son, and to us all. You are a wonderful mother, and you are so right to be proud of your son. Reading about the situation at Bat Nha from here in the US has been disturbing, and I, at least, have felt helpless and angry. Like many others, I had hoped that the petitions that we had signed earlier would have made a difference, but clearly the Vietnamese government was not moved. I was moved though, with your vision of Bath Nha as legend, and as an example of how we are to live in non-violence. Thank you for reminding us. May you and your son be safe, and happy. - George Hoguet Tue, 29 Sep 2009 20:57:39 +0100
