After the "Evening of Music and Poetry -- Traces of the Previous life and love Songs" on December 29, 1996, Thu Ho, a well-known musician in the Au Lac community, wrote these Poems in dedication to Supreme Master Ching Hai.

An Inspiration About Master Ching Hai

This inspiring Poem, I wish to commemorate
To an honored lady of this emphemeral place.
The Great Wisdom, as the name means to say
Melts the human heart, that then sing in praise.

The great enlightenment in the Buddhist way,
Humankind's grievance has brought forth dismay.
She reaches out to help those in despair,
Bring loving kindness to all the world, here and there.

The world has said thanks in many different ways,
From the golden statues to Her "Ching Hai Days".
Au Lac has but one in this modern age
History has marked, and will not fade away.
