In life, it is often necessary to make difficult choices. We cannot catch two fish at the same time: one in each hand. It is difficult, because if we accept growing up, we must accept suffering. I don’t regret leaving my mother to become a monk, but I am sorry I had to make such a choice. I didn’t have the chance to profit fully from this precious treasure. Each night I pray for my mother, but it is no longer possible for me to savor the excellent “ba hu+o+ng” banana, the best quality “ne^’p mo^.t” sweet rice, and the delicious “mi’a lau” sugar cane. Please don’t think that I am suggesting that you not follow your career and remain home at your mother’s side. I have already said I do not want to give advice or lessons in continuing to look into her eyes with a serene smile, tell her, “Do you know that I love you?” Ask her this question without waiting for an answer. Even if you are thirty, forty years old, or older, ask her simply, because you are the child of your mother. Your mother and you will both be happy, conscious of living in eternal love. And tomorrow when she leaves you, you will not have any regrets.

This is the refrain I give you to sing today. Brothers and sisters, please chant it, please sing it, so that you won’t live in indifference or forgetfulness. This red rose, I have already placed it on your lapel. Please be happy. （The End）
