OPEN LETTER

 

Dear Venerables, Brothers and Sisters in Dharma, 

Thank you for your time in reading this letter. 

To begin, I am Thich Nguyen Tang, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk at the Quang Duc Monastery in Melbourne. I completed a course study at the Buddhist University in Saigon in 1997, graduating with Bachelor of Buddhism. Before and during my studies, I was put in charge of the International Buddhism page of the Giac Ngo (Enlightenment) Magazine published in Saigon, a position I hold for eight years. Although, I am now living and working in Australia, I still submit articles to this magazine. Currently, I am employed in the Buddhist ministry to the Vietnamese community here. 

I am researching material for a book on  Buddhism Throughout The World and the application of the Buddha’s teachings with respect to modern lifestyles. The aim of the book is to show the history of Buddhism and how Buddhism has spread throughout the world. 

I would be most grateful if you could send me any information regarding Buddhism in your country. Your kind assistance will, of course, be noted in the book. 

Again, thank you very much for your time in reading this letter and I eagerly await your reply, 

Yours in Dharma, 

 Ven. THICH NGUYEN TANG
