Leaving Deer Park

Ngày Rời Lộc Uyển

Gate Sign at Deer Park Monastery
Prologue - Lời Nói Đầu
Coming and leaving. Arrival and departure. There cannot be one without the other.

Though nothing is permanent, the emotion, thought and feeling at the moment are true.

This account of recollections written in Vietnamese is to reflect on those moments of peace amid the beautiful scenery of an Autumn morning...

  1. Trước Bình Minh
    Before Dawn

  2. Nói Lời Tạm Biệt
    Saying Farewell

  3. Đường Xuống Núi
    Down the Mountain Road

  4. Động Vật "Dễ Thương" ở Lộc Uyển
    Our Animal Friends at Deer Park

  5. Lưng Sau của Đức Phật
    The Back of the Buddha

  6. Một Sư Cô Chưa Từng Được Biết Tên
    A Sister with No Name

  7. Ánh Đèn Pha Trong Đêm
    Headlights at Night

Epilogue - Phần Kết
Going on a trip, there are things which were planned and those which were not planned like the places we visit and the strangers we meet.

Changes in the scenery give rise to opportunities for exploration and discovery, to familiarize and/or re-familiarize ourselves with the surroundings of trees, plants, people and animals.

Whether it is the passerby we simply smile and say “Hello!” or a close acquaintance with whom we share our life stories, they both touch our lives in a special way, knowingly or unknowingly.

And that we sometimes are those strangers and/or friends who touch other people’s lives!
