Mời xem thiên nhiên tươi đẹp ngoài sức tưởng tượng của chúng ta. Xin cảm ơn đến tác giả của clip, đến người quay phim, đến người load lên YouTube... Họ đã cho chúng ta thưởng ngoạn chỉ trong vòng mười ba phút hơn nhưng với bao công sức qua một thời gian dài say mê làm việc của Nhóm. Giờ tôi mới thấy rõ cách họ quay cảnh đàn chim bay trên bầu trời ra sao.Tuyệt vời không tả xiết, nhất là với những ai say đắm thiên nhiên.

Your Holinesses, Your Excellencies, Your Emminencies, dear Most Venerables, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen. Please allow me to read the words that our Beloved Teacher, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, wished to deliver here today: “We are grateful to gather today to announce to the world our commitment to work together to end Modern Slavery; and to plea to those who traffic in human beings to stop their exploitation; and to ask world leaders and organisations to protect the dignity of these young women, men and children.

My dear President Obama: By now-you are certainly convinced that your staff was correct in suggesting a historic 20 minutes presidential phone call to the Lady-prisoner of conscience-of Burma. It has been said that U.S.Presidential power-if used wisely-could bring more victories than what 10 Army Divisions invading Iraq could achieve with fire power.
