Sunrise at Hemodang. Uncle Abi, Sukalam Muneeshtiri, I'm coming home. Samaniṃk Mehē Thyṇ, Vedasarhāṇā Salak Kīyn Tattisyū Kiyannam. Samaniṃk Mehē Thyān, Vedasarhānā Salak Kīyn Thaṭṭisyū Kīyn Thaṭṭisyū Thaṭṭisyū Amasava Manram, Ingni Thattiyu Thattiyu Thattiyu Thattiyu Wait? Grass growing up to the head already? Does that mean few people are coming up? Yes. After finishing, the master and everyone else started cleaning. Only after cleaning did they finally see the cave. Really? Yes. Before, there wasn't a road like this. Then the little one will take Nhan and your younger sister Phong to tour the natural cave up here. It's a hill, not really a mountain. Isn't this called a mountain? No. Do monks usually come up here to meditate in the cave? Yes, I do. Yeah? Oh, there are so many beautiful old trees here. Yes. Why doesn't the small warrior wear the small armor? When I saw it at the border, I didn't recognize it. Ah, so you're already used to putting your foot there. Yes. Yes, here it is. My master often meditates here. It's so beautiful, isn't it. Here it is. Is this always natural, little master? At first, the grass was so thick it covered everything, cacti, and all that stuff. Finished cutting, only then did I see the cave inside. So it just lost this cave, huh? Yes. Oh. There are lots of rocks around here. I'll go up there directly. Continue. Wow. Sitting in meditation here is really dangerous. Where? Here it is. The high-voltage power line runs right through here. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This electrical wire is also very dangerous, you know. Oh. There are too many mountains around here. What's the name of this mountain, little master? Yes? What is the name of this mountain? Is this it? Yes? No, not yet, sir/madam. Don't you know his name? So, it's usual for monks to come up here to meditate? Well, normally I meditate up here. Then, what time period is it when ascending up here? Breakfast at around 5 o'clock. Meditate at 5 a.m.? I'm here. Wow. So beautiful, Phong! But meditating here requires quite a bit of mental calmness, what with all these electrical wires around. High-voltage cable. It's very dangerous inside due to the rain. What is in it? There's also a cave inside it. Is it dangerous for the children or dangerous for the monk? Yes. Go ahead and share, it's fine. That's dangerous for us kids, isn't it? Yes. The master knows that he's been in Vietnam, and he's afraid of encountering danger here. So there's another cave, right? Yes. If you're going anyway, is there a path to follow, master? Yes. But you have to go down. What? Oh, if the master makes it too difficult, then we'll just go by ourselves later. Yes, let's go now. Yes, thank you, master. A terrible crime. This side is really tough for everyone in the family. So, Ren wanted to go with Feng too, but the little master wouldn't agree. Here, this... Go on, child. There are a few thorns, so be careful. Hey, it's a bit slippery, kinda rough, you know. I have to admit, this mountain, the way the rock is shaped, is incredibly beautiful. Like a wave of mist, it is. Oh, be careful, master. Sometimes those dogs don't even dare to go forward—they just stop right there. Oh, I remember the younger sister warned me not to go. There, there, child. The child says. It's alright, it's alright. Buddhist followers Wait a moment. Heavens, Feng. Can you walk, my dear? Take off your shoes, dear. He went back to get his shoes. Be careful, uncle. Here you go, the little monk doesn't want to lead you because there's a cliff here. The stone is slippery, and the slope is too steep. Sure, honey? Who else is helping? Ok, I'm leaving now, brother. There are still a few trees for you to cling to, dear. Go. This dog is still scared, huh? Even walking, the bed is still shaking. Be careful with the cactus. Go, be careful not to get pricked by that thorn down there, monk. Yes. This place is dangerous, uncle. So, am I going to clean out this cave over here soon as well? Yes? Shall I clean out this cave over here thoroughly soon? Yes. In fact, if this mountain were to be expanded, it would enable Buddhist followers from distant places and other countries to come here. It's done now; they've toured around, and practicing meditation is also quite good, isn't it? It's because the scenery here is so beautiful. Where's Phong? Don't worry, little master, your younger brother is holding on tightly. It's been a long time since I've been to Vietnam, and I've been troubling you so much. Hardly ever get bothered, huh, Master? Anniversary, huh. Don't worry, master. Here you go, child. Go ahead, teacher. What matters most is Feng. Sure, honey? Alright, I'll just stay here; I'll grab your hand and pull you up. This place is hard to climb. What a beautiful view! This place is a valley, with a river flowing there. And around here are mountains. You're right; it's best to believe what the master says. Let it be. It is truly difficult, as the master said. But precisely because of these difficulties, I really like them. Because Ren and the others are leaving here this afternoon. So, the only opportunity is this morning to visit this place, right? This cave over here is good too, you know. You're here, right, master? No, not yet. Not yet? You have to crawl through this cave to get to the other side. It's alright, it's alright, yes. If the teacher can walk, then the student can walk too. Your dog has climbed up already, you know. But where is Feng? Hi Phong! Wait a minute, wait a minute. A bit tough, that's all. Oh, it's alright. It's just like the path of a cultivation sect, that's all. It must have its hardships, don't you think? There's no path in life that's easy. You've worn that robe so much, haven't you? Finally... What? Just a little higher. It's already here, isn't it? Beautiful. You can do it, son. There's a dog following us. It's coming already. Her name is May. Her name is May, right? Yes. Look over there—there's the guy. Which side? Look at that river over there. What on earth is that? The factory, right? No. Over there, a little further along the shore. I see it now. That river there is called... Mahaveli River Malaveli Ganga Yes. Maha is the one. To lớn. And Maveli Ganga is... What's up? That huge river is right there. It's like this river is the longest river... The best in Sri Lanka. Is that so? So. Should I go on? Yes. Sharing with you... The young monk has been at the temple for three years already. She speaks Sri Lankan language and English very well. Now telling me to learn English... Any language is really very difficult for me. Come up here already. That power line there. It's also very dangerous, everyone. Wait, am I supposed to climb up there? Yes. Climb up here. Where is the cave located? No. I said the hole is the hole you crawl through. Just a tunnel we crawl through. A. And... It's just for the sake of being tall, that's all. A. This is the place where we will go to visit you. Here it is. Can I still go through this? Yes. Just go over there already. It's over, huh? Yes. Oh. So that little monk is the cave... Is it the cave you crawled through? Yes. The little master has stopped to rest from fatigue. Wait a bit, then we'll go back to the temple for lunch. At present, they are preparing a vegetarian meal at the temple. What is your Dharma name, little monk? Yes, Phap Dang. Pháp Đăng? Yes. Then, what was the fortunate circumstance that brought you, young monk, all the way to Sri Lanka to practice and study? Yes. I also know that my master is causing chaos online. Since the Dharma teacher is also good, please let me come here. When the little monk comes here, is learning the local language difficult, little monk? At first, I also had great difficulty. At first, it was just that body language. Just leave it like that. Just go ahead and act accordingly. And you say that it is... Every day, I learn 5 Sinhala words and 5 English words. Then slowly, slowly 10 sentences, then 20 sentences. Alright, I'm not studying anymore. Naturally, it just came into my mind, and then I immediately knew how to speak. That means back then I only studied the basic local vocabulary. Done, when going to school, they also taught the guest how to write, and then the guest spoke. Then, within three months, the child learned Sinhala. Three months only? This shows that the monk also has a talent for language, which is why learning is easy. So, which province is your monastery in, master? In Vietnam, which province is your monastery located in? The Central Highlands, huh? You're in the Central Highlands? Ah, the monk is also reluctant to talk about his hometown, so... But back in Vietnam, had I already ordained, or did I ordain only after coming over here? I became a monk at the age of six. Thus, he ordained at the age of six. How many years has the master been following the Buddha's teachings since the time of ordination? It's been 6 years. Six years have passed. This morning, when I came in to take shelter from the rain, I met three young monks diligently reciting sutras, and also helped the Buddhist devotees sit in meditation every morning. So, is the monk currently studying in Sri Lanka, or will he return to Vietnam later? Once I finish studying here, after completing the secondary level here, my child will... Oh, I finished vocational school here. So now I'm studying at the secondary level, right? No, not yet. Not yet studied at the secondary vocational level. So when will I be old enough to start learning? No. Here, age is not calculated. If a student in grade 1 gets enough points, they will be promoted directly to grade 2. Either way, if I don't have to repeat second grade, I can go straight to third grade. If I'm exceptionally skilled over here, will I be able to skip levels? Yes, promoted. But once you've surpassed the level, it's just like a staircase. If I walk slowly and steadily, it will be easy. But if I take three steps at a time, it'll be easier. If its score drops again, it will drop once more. It's not exactly simple, is it? During the process, if my grade next year is low, it will pull me back. I'll continue. Yes. So when you just arrive in a country that's so far away from your homeland. Does the Master feel homesick or miss family members or his hometown? I miss it a bit, but since there's a Vietnamese temple here, many Vietnamese people come too, so it's fine. Many Vietnamese Buddhist followers also visit the area of their temple. Yes. That's why I miss my hometown less. Yes. Then, when the young master chooses Buddhist Dharma. Then the Master wonders how this path he is walking will be in the future? In the future, let's just go back to the present. As for the future, I also don't know what it will be like. Right now, I only know the present. Yes. Then, does the Master have any words to send to the dear Buddhist followers in Vietnam? There's nothing to say. Are there no blessings for the Buddhist followers in Vietnam? Is it really that hard to say? Well then, I guess I'll go down now, Master. It's going to rain soon, that's why. Here, the power lines themselves are extremely dangerous. I wouldn't know what to do if something were to happen. Yes. Come down, Master. So, Master, you're saying that the monk's barefoot walking is really skillful, huh? This morning, Nhân went for a walk around the village surrounding the temple. Then I saw that the people here live a very simple life. Probably Phong doesn't know the spot where we can slip through behind that rock. So she got stuck over there. There are probably snakes here from time to time. On the mountain. Yes. Have you encountered any snakes lately, Master? I've never been here without seeing a snake. What kind of trees are those over there on the mountain? Coconut tree or what exactly? Come on, come on, go down, go down. These dogs here are afraid of it. There are also a few thorny bushes, so... Sure, honey? I'm getting down, of course. Many times, sir/madam. Is it on fire? What the hell is on fire here? It's best not to try eating it. These dogs here look very fierce, but... Very gentle. She is very gentle by nature. Isn't this dog's name something like that? May, ma. Unlike a dog is a dog... Big bone, huh? Yes. Big bone. This dog is really fierce, isn't it? So what? Here is the colored line, Sir. Well, people went down that way, but now if we go down, we're going down... Going to the village, huh? Yes. So should I keep going down here, or should I stop? Afraid of snakes too much. The tree is blocking the way, you know. You're not from there, are you? Sure thing. Leave it here. OK? Be careful, Phong! It's very slippery there. Looks fierce, huh. Those fierce-looking dogs actually seem incredibly gentle. I'm back. Leaving is somewhat difficult, but coming back... That's fast, right? Yes. Since it's raining, it's definitely safest for Ren to wear flip-flops. There's a path going down here—where is he leading us, Master? Yes, going straight down to the village. Down to the village. I can go there too. But does the trail here often see people from the village going up the mountain? Yes, the locals travel on this road. Type Tacka road. Is the road to that temple? Yes, many people have come. There are many cracks on the rock up there. See if it looks like the character... Handwriting? Has the little monk studied the Sri Lankan script yet? Hey? I know how to speak, but sometimes the words written here are like this. There are many cracks on it. I know, I know. You can read it already, huh? What, the most limited one? Always? She's only three years old, and she's just written "Sri Lanka." Then just... Can speak Sri Lankan. Sri Lanka is said to have... There are 2 hours. Then, do I really know for sure that it's exactly two hours? Yes. Tamil and Sinhala. Two languages of Sri Lanka. Two languages of Sri Lanka, plus English as well. And Vietnamese as well. Yes. Three languages. Three languages, all of which I'm completely fluent in. Thank you very much, everyone. I have traveled alongside Ren, younger sister Phong Bui, and Master Phap Dang. Is it Phap Dang or Minh Dang, Venerable Sir? Phap Dang Phap Dang climbs up a mountain where there is a cave, and the venerable monk resides there. At 5 a.m., he climbs up there to sit in meditation. If any Buddhist devotees happen to visit Sri Lanka, please stop by the Zhulin Monastery to visit the venerable monks. Gathering in a village of very poor people in Sri Lanka. And it is located very far away in the city of Colombo. It's been nearly three hours by car from the city of Colombo, you know. Allow me to inform you all: this is the young monk Phap Dang, currently practicing and studying at Truc Lam Zen Monastery in Sri Lanka. And there's something special: the monk just arrived in Sri Lanka, but he is currently learning very quickly. Proficient in the writing system of Sri Lanka, along with the spoken languages of Sri Lanka, as well as English. Now, could Ven. Phap Dang please introduce Truc Lam Zen Monastery in Sri Lankan language so that the Buddhist followers in Vietnam can understand? Master Fa Dang, Fa Dang Moreover, besides Sri Lankan, Master Phap Dang can also speak English. Then, could you please speak in English to share with the Buddhist followers? Master Fa Dang, Fa Dang So now let's translate into Vietnamese. What have I been introducing all this time? Hello everyone. Today, I would like to introduce that Truc Lam Temple is the first Vietnamese temple in Sri Lanka. The Trúc Lâm Temple began in 2020. It has now been nearly six years. From Monday to Sunday, there is meditation every day. The most special day is Sunday, when meditation is held for everyone here. Alright, alright. Thank you so much, Teacher Pháp Đăng. He is only 14 years old and has just arrived from Sri Lanka, but he is extremely talented and learns very quickly. The teacher mentioned that within just three months, we were able to write and speak Sri Lankan language. Thank you, Teacher Fa Dang. Wishing you continued diligence in your practice. Looking forward to our next meeting.
