Some words from the EIAB Celebration of Thay’s 100th Birthday

„… (on the hesitations in 2007, before the founding of the EIAB) … Thay, during the Dharmatalk, … from up there he looked for me, he saw me sitting in the back and… he looked directly into my eyes…and he said, „Everything is possible. Everything comes from our mind. If we decide to do it, it will manifest.“ … Thay entrusted me with this project… He had so much trust in me… so much trust that I could do it, even when sometimes I did not have the confidence or trust in myself. But Thay said, „You can do it.“ and not only that and not only me did Thay give that trust but Thay gave that trust to every, every one of his students. He said, „You can do it. You can always do it. He reminded us that we have this Buddha Nature within us. Regardless of how much difficulty we have or how much trouble we go through, Thay had the deep deep trust that we can do it because he knew we all carry the Buddha Nature in us. So today is Thay’s birthday. I would like to express my deep gratitude to Thay for his trust in me and in all of his students that we can all go on and continue the journey and completely live wholesome beautiful human beings and our Buddhahood.“
