Homage to the Master!

Vietnam, stubborn naga covered with scars after centuries of so-called liberation wars and lost illusions, because of your deep-rooted ignorance, you are still entangled in this endless cycle of conquest and uprising.

Your uneducated mind -Hainoi- still dreams of submission to sickle & hammer, Your Nostalgic heart -Hue- still dreams of submission to Confucian literary virtues and your insatiable belly -Siagon- still dreams of submission to western passion-fodder.

Long naga of boundless frustration, How many liberation wars will have to be fought before you understand the true meaning of liberation? Always fighting against your past , against yourself, Your country motto says : << Independence-Liberty-Happiness>>, May you one day see that there is no independence, liberty and happiness for conditioned phenomena!

To pacify negativities and increase virtue, following the glorious masters' recommendations, Vases have been placed on the naga's main wheels, channels & energy spots.

May the naga stubbornness in wartime turn into stubbornness to practice Dharma! May the long naga body of scars turn into the vase-body of youth & long life qualities! May the naga deep-rooted ignorance turn into primordial wisdom for the benifit of all sentient beings!

Virtue!
