To Everyone who has suffered andor lost someone in Vietnam
Hi Everyone, I just received this, and thought I’d post it here, for anyone who might benefit from it. DO forward it to anyone who you know, who you think might like to do it. Windy Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2007 From: gmeyer@bigplanet.com Subject: Thay's Trip to VN To: peterhill35@yahoo.com Please send this message to everyone who has suffered and/or lost someone in Vietnam. We need their names for the Great Chanting Ceremonies. Gratia Meyer - gmeyer@bigplanet.com In this year's Vietnam Trip of Thay (Thich Nhat Hanh) and the Plum Village Sangha, Three Great Chanting Ceremonies for the Deceased during and after the Vietnam War are being hold in Ho Chi Minh City, Hue and Ha Noi. During the ceremonies, Thay (http://www.seaox.com/thich.html) will give Dharma talks and Buddhist Monks and Nuns, from Plum Village and from the Vietnamese Buddhist Church, will perform prayers to help liberate the deceased as well those alive, who are still suffering from the Vietnam War. I've created a database so that people can register the names of the deceased. These names will be placed on the altar as also will be read during the ceremonies. The ceremonies are the final steps to resolve the lingering pains and suffering of the war. We would like to make these ceremonies an international effort to liberate all victims of the war: the US Vietnam Veterans, the boat people who died on the sea because of pirates and angry waves, the prisoners who died in the re-education camps, victims of the Agent Orange. Please help make known about the efforts being made to heal the last wounds of the war. You can pass this information to the Vietnam Veteran Organization. People can register names of the deceased on line at http://www.plumvillage-vn.org Breathe and smile, Br. Phap Kham
