Disciple VTNN
I am a member of Hong Bang Meditation Center. That is an obvious fact cannot be denied. And I'm also very proud to be a member of the earliest established Meditation Center in Vietnam.
But,
Return visit Mississauga Meditation Center for the 10th anniversary of Toronto and Ottawa Meditation Center in June of last year, I felt like I was the child has been expatriates for a long time, returning to her old house, where the unforgettable memories while attending class levels 1 & 2 here.
When return to Vietnam, every time remember of Canada, what I remember most is the wonderful warm feeling when you walk through the door of Mississauga Meditation Center on a cold winter night. Perhaps due to the outside skin blistering air just walk in, perhaps because the situation was meeting the fellow countryman, socializing with Vietnamese in the Western world, perhaps because of emotional warmth in the hearts of their loved of fellow disciples for one another… Until now, after nearly three years return here, sat with Mr. Tran Quang, Mrs. Thể Tính in the quiet summer afternoon, I still remember the warm feeling nostalgic on those cold blistering days.
Just as my beloved emotional with Mississauga, previously but never once come to Seattle Meditation Center, but my heart, just as thousands and thousands of hearts of the other disciples have always been towards Seattle like facing our second hometown. Seattle Meditation Center, the cradle of Divine Dharma Meditation (DDM), where Founder Master Nguyen Duc Thuan and Master Nguyen Ngoc Hai sowed the first seeds of Dharma teaching, which today many of which have become giant trees excellence of Dharma teaching, bringing the Masters’ approach cultivated around the globe. As of 2003, from the first 10 meditation centers was established in the US and Canada, so far, DDM has developed and established 80 centers in the world. Particularly in Vietnam, just after 7 years has built 22 Meditation Centers from South to North, and this figure does not stop here but will grow more quickly, while the benefits of Dharma teaching is become known by many people, many worlds, many levels of governments and being recognized.
20 years from the first class was held in 1996 in Chicago, city of Seattle, Washington - a lot, a lot of disciples from around the world have received the Grand Master Dasira Narada directly from the Founder Masters. Many disciples cure the bodily illness, spiritual illness continues to follow the path the teacher cultivation, practicing Dharma, serving humanities. Many young heads with black hair have become silver white, but the love for Seattle, for the Founder Masters, for the Dharma teaching still forever not fade.
Past thirteen years, Seattle Meditation Center has organized a lot of class, has welcomed thousands of disciples across the world to come receive Dharma. No one forgets the dear emotional of the brothers and sisters there, through every pickup and drop-off, through every meal of compassionate and affection. ..Everyone also finds themselves is being cared for with sincerity, thoughtfully deeply the love of fellow disciple.
Since 2012, Headquarters Meditation Center has moved to Anaheim, California. Seattle each daily no longer be close to the Founder Masters, no longer eat daily meals cooked by the Founder Masters hands for the disciples again. However, in everyday activities, eye and heart of the Founder Masters always watch over their beloved disciples remained in Seattle.20 years anniversary of Seattle Meditation Center also 20 years of building and developing Divine Dharma Meditation. The Founder Masters have been through many hardships to build successful path the teachings of Grand Master Dasira Narada and the second Grand Master Narada Mahathera. Those of us who persevere practicing the blissful bodhisattva of the Founder Masters to serve humanities and extricate themselves.
The celebration of the 20th anniversary has passed, I have returned to Vietnam to the daily activities, but had a lingering affection for dear fellow friends from Canada, from Spain, from Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Cambodia ... cannot forget the solemn atmosphere, but emotional ceremony, cannot forget the tears that move the disciples’ hearts of the Founder Masters after receiving heartfelt thanks of Seattle disciples...
