POEM by Master Vi-Kien (1980)

At the beginning of the New Year, we enjoy spiritual happiness,

Thinking of our homeland, our mind remains joyful,

We vow to advance in accordance with the path of truth and knowledge,

Harmonizing with pure energy, we feel constant peace and happiness.

Enjoying peace and happiness in our spiritual perfection,

We persevere and remain resolute in forging our soul,

Ascending higher, we become aware of the beautiful and eternal universe,

Returning to our soul and astral body, we keep elevating ourselves within calmness.

Returning to the true scenery at all energy levels,

We understand and harmonize with all spheres whether pure or impure,

With spiritual practice, we purify our energy and can easily leave and re-enter our body,

Whether on the social or spiritual plane, we understand everything thoroughly.

We learn from the indisputable laws of the Great Creator,

Within emptiness, there is a multitude of transformations,

God, our Divine Father, has planned our education wisely,

Whether Hell or Heaven, both serve to forge our consciousness diligently,

The divine voice and divine truth are very profound,

Reminding all beings to advance with their own efforts,

Let’s not forget to return to our spiritual root,

We all are capable of returning to our true homeland with perseverance.

Surmounting all life obstacles to leave a fine example,

We must follow the path of righteous knowledge,

No longer agitated, angry or infatuated,

We return to the true dharma to advance further,

Living with our lucid mind, our spiritual foundation,

With blessings from our beloved Divine Father, 

We perfect ourselves spiritually and advance steadily.
