THE LAST MESSAGE OF THE BUDDHA.
‘When I am gone, my Teaching shall be your Master and Guide.’

‘I have delivered sermons to you during these forty-five years. You must learn them well and treasure them.
You must practise them and teach them to others. This will be of great use for the welfare of the living and for the welfare of those who come after you’.
‘My years are now full ripe; the life span left is short. I will soon have to leave you.
You must be earnest. O monks, be mindful and of pure virtue!
Whoever untiringly pursues the Teaching, will go beyond the cycle of birth and death and will man an end of Suffering.’END= NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.22/3/2022.
