Chúng ta không thể đạt được sự bình an nơi thế giới bên ngoài khi chưa có sự bình an với chính bản thân mình. (We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.)Đức Đạt-lai Lạt-ma XIV
Việc đánh giá một con người qua những câu hỏi của người ấy dễ dàng hơn là qua những câu trả lời người ấy đưa ra. (It is easier to judge the mind of a man by his questions rather than his answers.)Pierre-Marc-Gaston de Lévis
Chúng ta thay đổi cuộc đời này từ việc thay đổi trái tim mình. (You change your life by changing your heart.)Max Lucado
Ai sống một trăm năm, lười nhác không tinh tấn, tốt hơn sống một ngày, tinh tấn tận sức mình.Kinh Pháp cú (Kệ số 112)
Thành công là khi bạn đứng dậy nhiều hơn số lần vấp ngã. (Success is falling nine times and getting up ten.)Jon Bon Jovi
Đừng bận tâm về những thất bại, hãy bận tâm đến những cơ hội bạn bỏ lỡ khi thậm chí còn chưa hề thử qua. (Don’t worry about failures, worry about the chances you miss when you don’t even try. )Jack Canfield
Thành công là tìm được sự hài lòng trong việc cho đi nhiều hơn những gì bạn nhận được. (Success is finding satisfaction in giving a little more than you take.)Christopher Reeve
Điều khác biệt giữa sự ngu ngốc và thiên tài là: thiên tài vẫn luôn có giới hạn còn sự ngu ngốc thì không. (The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.)Albert Einstein
Trực giác của tâm thức là món quà tặng thiêng liêng và bộ óc duy lý là tên đầy tớ trung thành. Chúng ta đã tạo ra một xã hội tôn vinh tên đầy tớ và quên đi món quà tặng. (The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honor the servant and has forgotten the gift.)Albert Einstein
Tài năng là do bẩm sinh, hãy khiêm tốn. Danh vọng là do xã hội ban cho, hãy biết ơn. Kiêu căng là do ta tự tạo, hãy cẩn thận. (Talent is God-given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.)John Wooden

How long will it be until Vietnamese Buddhism sees another master like Master Tuệ Sỹ? I do not know, and neither does anyone else, but from what I have seen and experienced over more than half a century of my life, I know it must be a very long time. A master with all the qualities of compassion, wisdom, and fearlessness like him is a brilliant manifestation of the true spirit of the Dharma in this mundane life. Indeed, it can be said to be as rare as the Udumbara flower. Therefore, deep in my heart, I always feel joyous and highly grateful for his presence in our generation and those who continue. As I have said, his presence is like a natural glue that has bonded us, the lay practitioners, those who lead, and those who follow, on the same path of practice and service. The Master’s figure, wherever he may be, is like a guiding light, a firm and comforting spiritual support for us whenever we face the storms of life.
The teachings of the Master compiled in this book are not entirely new. We have been learning from his scattered lectures or through the scriptures and treatises he has written for a long time. Moreover, his life’s journey is an even more vivid and comprehensive lesson. However, along with those Dharma teachings and with the same spirit of fearless compassion, this slim volume also conveys the Master’s immense love for the youth. Thus, each word and teaching is no longer just rigid standards or strict doctrines but like the gentle words of a kind father wishing to advise and guide his children. If these teachings do not reach the following generations, it would be a significant fault of ours, who have been fortunate to receive his teachings, whether directly or indirectly.
Therefore, from half a world away, when we heard about Master’s illness, we immediately thought of doing something to express our deep gratitude towards him. The most practical action that aligns with Master’s lifelong wishes would be spreading his teachings to the younger generation, those for whom he has always had great hopes for the future of the nation and the Dharma. Master’s teachings are also the faithful Dharma. When the true Dharma is spread, ignorance and evil naturally dissolve, just as the morning sun quickly disperses the fog. Therefore, with the united efforts of some Buddhist friends in the US, our United Buddhist Publisher (California, USA) has published this book to distribute widely to Buddhists all over the world.
Master’s teachings, when reaching the youth, will be irreplaceable spiritual values. In the Long Discourses, the Buddha often taught that the faithful Dharma has the power to “lift what has been overturned, to reveal what has been hidden, to show the way to those who are lost, and to bring a lamp into the darkness so that those with eyes may see forms.” These functions are essential for today’s youth; when many traditional moral values are being “overturned,” many positive spiritual values are “hidden.” Many people are “lost” on the path of practice. In such a situation, the nation and the Dharma urgently need those who can “bring a lamp into the darkness,” to do so, today’s youth cannot ignore the Master’s teachings.
I hope that the widespread circulation of this book will be like “bringing a lamp into the darkness” so that the Master’s teachings always illuminate today’s and tomorrow’s generations.
