Mass Mobilization in the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, 1945–1960
Immediately after its founding by Hồ Chí Minh in September 1945, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV) faced challenges from rival Vietnamese political organizations and from a France determined to rebuild her empire after the humiliations of WWII. Hồ, with strategic genius, courageous maneuver, and good fortune, was able to delay full-scale war with France for sixteen months in the northern half of the country. This was enough time for his Communist Party, under the cover of its Vietminh front organization, to neutralize domestic rivals and install the rough framework of an independent state. That fledgling state became a weapon of war when the DRV and France finally came to blows i...

Ch_t vˆ T‡i Sinh
Thời gian trôi nhanh như bóng câu qua cửa sổ, mới thấy đó thì liền mất đó, mọi thứ trên đời này đều giả tạm, không có cái gì chắc thật và trường tồn mãi mãi, chỉ có phước đức và nghiệp lực sẽ tồn tại với ta trong hiện tại và ngay cả sau khi chúng ta rời khỏi trần gian này, chính nó sẽ dẫn dắt chúng ta đi vào tiến trình giải thoát, giác ngộ hay là đọa lạc, trôi lăn trong vòng sinh tử luân hồi. Mỗi người phải ý thức rằng " nhơn thân nan đắc, Phật pháp nan văn'', thân người khó được, Phật pháp khó nghe", và một khi đã mất thân người này rồi, biết bao giờ mới tìm lại được nữa, nên người xưa từng nói: "Nhất thất nhơn thân, vạn kiếp bất phục" là như vậy đó. Do vậy, chúng ta hãy cố gắng, siêng năng thực hiện mọi hạnh lành ngay khi có thể để mang lại lợi ích thiết thực cho mình và cho người trong đời sống tâm linh này.
