It is my great pleasure to receive an invitation from the Senior Venerable Thich Nguyen Tang to write an introduction for his new book. I don’t think that my very poor introduction will be sufficient for his book. Perhaps it could be unfair to his great endeavor - better delete it. However, I take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude towards him. I stayed in his monastery for a short time, during which time I was so well treated by him as his own monastery brother. I write this introduction very happily, even it is poor, to offer him a tribute. On one hand, I consider it as my great obligation and on the other hand it is my privilege.

Generation of the Bodhi Mind is a critical method of Buddhist cultivation that, if not superior is as equally important as any other methods mentioned in Tipiṭaka. In the Great Skillful Means Sutra, the Buddha instructs Anan: “Generation of the Bodhi Mind is a superior method that helps the cultivator shorten their path to awakening.” In the Adornment Sutra, the Buddha kindly reminds that “Even the cultivators who simply forget to generate the Bodhi Mind are actually doing all the evil deeds for whatever they are doing”, let alone one who has never made any vow or practised cultivating the mind.
