To become a monastic Dharma teacher, a minimum of five years of practice is required, with the end of the fourth year allowing one to become an apprentice Dharma teacher. Eleven monastics are becoming apprentice Dharma teachers:

1. Thay Phap Do
2. Sister Tri Giac
3. Sister Thieu Nghiem
4. Sister Phuc Nghiem
5. Sister Gioi Nghiem
6. Sister Thuc Nghiem
7. Sister Ha Nghiem
8. Brother Phap Hien
9. Sister Hy Nghiem
10. Sister Thang Nghiem
11. Sister Tu Nghiem

The Sangha must also decide on the transmission of the lamp for four other apprentices: Thay Phap Tri, Sister Thuan Nghiem, Sister Bich Nghiem, and Thay Phap Huong.

Looking deeply allows us to see the whole cosmos in a lotus flower or a piece of bread, transforming the simple acts of daily life into a deeply spiritual practice. Nothing is a creation out of nothingness or non-being; everything is a manifestation arising from the coming together of many conditions.

Everyone possesses the nature of no-birth and no-death (vô sinh bất diệt). By touching the nature of no-birth and no-death, fear dissipates to make way for non-fear, the foundation of true peace and happiness. Seeing one’s own nature is called kiến tánh, and seeing one’s true nature allows one to become a Buddha (kiến tánh thành Phật).
