Prayer 634

The prayer series

Jesus,

Although I don’t listen and speak English well now,
although I have never lived abroad,
I believe I can understand the heart of Westerner
at least about 70%.

Why?

Because I know the Holy Bible, about 70%.

The Holy Bible is the heart of Westerner
as Buddhism is the heart of Easterner.
So knowing the Holy Bible is to understand the heart of Westerner.

Because I know the Holy Bible,
when I read their writings,
from musical writings to economic writings,
I can understand their feeling and thinking,
at least about 70%.

Most of our people like Buddhism.
They don’t care about the Holy Bible.
So although they’re good at English
and although they live abroad,
It would be hard for them to understand the heart of Westerner.

If we want to befriend the Westerners,
we should understand their heart and culture.

Our people should learn the Holy Bible.

Our people should learn about you.

Amen.

Vietnam’s tourism going the wrong way: Tourists prefer green travel, not skyscrapers

vietnamnet 26/04/2019    09:58 GMT+7

More and more international-standard resorts and hotels have arisen in Vietnam, but these facilities are not what foreign travelers want. They visit Vietnam to ‘return to nature’.

Returning to Canada after a trip to Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam in 2005, David Hutt, an Australian businessman, decided to come back to the beautiful island with his family members to enjoy the white sand and blue sea, the palm trees covering part of the beach, and red-earth trails.

The Real Reason Why Mary Magdalene Is Such a Controversial Figure

Chào các bạn,

Nói về Giêsu, nhất là vào Tuần Thánh là tuần trước ngày Phục Sinh, trong buổi ăn cuối cùng của các môn đệ, cao điểm là cảnh Mary Magdalene dùng dầu thơm để rửa chân cho Jesus và dùng tóc của mình để lau chân Jesus – một cảnh siêu tình cảm và lãng mạn dù ở thời đại nào. Ngay cả trong Thánh kinh chính thức (đã được dùng bởi các tổ phụ để xóa ảnh hưởng của Mary Magdalene và phụ nữ ra khỏi giáo hội cho đến ngày nay – phụ nữ ngày nay vẫn không được làm linh mục), thì Mary Magdalene là người đầu tiên thấy Giêsu sống lại, trong thời đại mà đàn bà không được làm nhân chứng chính thức trong các kiện cáo và lời nói được xem là không đáng tin. Tức là nói về Giêsu thì không thể nói về Mary Magdalene.

Mary Magdalene là nhân vật bí ẩn nhất trong Thánh kinh. Giáo hội, thời ban đầu đã cố tình biến Mary thành người đàn bà tội lỗi, bán dâm, bị quỷ ám, và xóa sổ Mary khỏi dòng chính của tư duy. Cho đến 1969 giáo hội (dưới ảnh hưởng đổi mới của Công Đồng Vaticano II) mới có chỉnh sửa lại cái nhìn rằng những cái nhìn trước kia là không có căn bản.
