Employing all suitable means
To lead others out of suffering,
For oneself, wishing nothing
Such is the teacher of all sentient beings

Thay Thich Truc Thai Minh took a souvenir photo with Buddhist monks at Koyasan Temple in Nara, Japan.

Like Thay once said: ”There is no need to say much, because words from the heart will reach the heart.” His compassionate heart and noble virtue are the main reason why Thay is beloved and respected by many.

A couple joyfully made offerings and paid respect to Thay at Todaiji temple, he consented and wished them blessings.
