The tragic,
earth-shaking events of 1975 in Au Lac resulted in the separation
of countless families, and deeply impacted the minds and lives
of the Aulacese and the conscience of humanity. After the war,
more than three million Aulacese had to leave their homeland,
scattering across the earth to live as exiles and at the same
time advocates of freedom, lighting the torch of compassion, and
carrying to the five continents the fragrance of the flower of
Love and Mercy.
Au Lac in Ancient Times is
a compilation of Supreme Master Ching Hai's precious teachings
on the Aulacese people's glorious essence as a noble, magnanimous,
loving and sincere people. May all human beings expand their horizons,
reflect inwardly and light their own torch so as to become more
understanding of others, obliterate ignorance, and walk toward
the future with courage. In this way we may truly deserve to be
citizens of the Earth, creatures of God comprised of love, enlightenment
and wisdom.
