Dear Benefactors,
On October 26, 2019, the program ‘Bringing light to 267 patients in the provinces of Thai Nguyen, Hai Duong, Hung Yen, Hoa Binh, Quang Ninh, Phu Tho, and Thuong Tin – Hanoi’ completed as wish. This virtue was achieved through the contributions from benefactors in the United States, Europe, Australia and Vietnam. It is very more meaningful when contribution come from donors around the world. We would like to pay homage to the monks and nuns at the following temples for their support of this program: venerable abbot of Vietnam Buddhist Center (Houston), nun Minh Lien of Vien Thong Pagoda (Houston). Venerable Phổ Quang (France), nun Viên Diệu (Switzerland), Phóng Sanh Group (Germany), and Buddhists in California – Maryland – Virginia – Texas – Australia. Please dedicate this merit to all the sentient beings, to always live in peace and happiness. May the world and all beings be peaceful.
Tu Bi Foundation would like to express our sincere gratitude to DND Mắt Hospital in Hanoi, and to the charitable committees, all of whom have devoted themselves to caring for the patients so well. The work starts from 5 am to 8:30 pm, but everyone laugh during the entire time of service. DND Hospital has a total of 150 participants from many provinces, including 8 ophthalmologists, clinicians, nurses, pharmacists, ancillary departments and the executive board. “This is the day everyone is dedicated to serving, everyone is volunteering,” said Dr. Quế. In the end we helped 267 patients and 8 patients will have surgery when their health stabilize. Each patient given a medicine bag to care for their eyes after surgery and nearly $5 USD. The hospital is very clean!
The Tu Bi Foundation would like to express our gratitude to elder abbess Diệu Từ from Giác Tâm Temple in Saigon, nun Tâm Phụng and 12 nun in the provinces have devotedly worked throughout this program, guiding 400 patients to Hanoi and warmly care for each individual. Volunteer group from Saigon travel North to assist smooth coordination. In addition, in the 50 locals in Hanoi, serve and help volunteer groups by providing breakfast and lunch to all patients. Patients that did not qualify for operation, the hospital paid driver to take them home. When everyone leave, they will receive an envelop with close to $5 USD and food. Everyone was well cared for.
Thanks to the eye surgery program, 200 volunteers including the medical team at DND Mắt Hospital had the opportunity to work together to care for the 400 patients. It is this noble love that has arisen from the kind heart of each person as they help alleviate the suffering of others.
Much appreciation our benefactors,

Inauguration of Vien Thong Bridge #3 – 33m x 2m – 2019.11.02
Ngày 17 tháng 11 năm 2019
Vien Thong bridge #3 is located in Phong Lưu hamlet in Đông Hưng commune, was built with reinforced concrete, length 33m and width 2m. Not far away is an old bridge which has been damaged in many places so it’s not easy to cross. Locals said that when it rained at night, some people and cars would accidentally fell into the river. Luckily this is a busy area; hence, they were rescue in time.
The bridge allow pupils to go to school from elementary school to high school, and adults to get to the main road for trade. Moreover, the locality promised that after the bridge is built, the officials and the locals will remove the surrounding trees to make way for better road for easy movement. Where there is a bridge, there will be roads to bring safety to all the people living in the area, especially students who need to go to school every day. This is a good dharma that has brought many benefits to humanity.
We traveled by car for nearly 2 hours and the only means of transportation was by boat to reach our destination. It took us 45 minutes by boat to arrive to venue to administer the inauguration ceremony of Vien Thong Bridge #3. This bridge bridge will allow people to travel back and forth between districts and communes. They’ll need to take a boat if they need to gog to the city.
Much appreciation to our benefactors for donating to the construction of Vien Thong bridge #3. The family would like to share this blessing and dedicate prayer to the spirit of Phan Quốc Dũng (dharma name Tâm Trí), to be reborn to the peaceful world of Pureland. May the world be peaceful and all beings in harmony.
Sincerely,
Tu Bi Foundation
Gifting Love & Kindness Home, Visiting Tu Bi Kindergarten #2
November 2, 2019
What an achievement beyond our imagination of this loving home. Thanks to the money Tu Bi Foundation donated 35 million VND (1,500 USD) and the locality matched 15 million VND. The remainder, the homeowner borrow government loans with a 5-year interest rate of .6%. The husband worked as a fisherman, so he managed to do some construction work himself. The house took 6 months to complete because they work when they have money and there was no pressure. Currently the house has been temporarily completed worth 100 million VND. But inside is unfurnish with exception of a bed. We truly helped Tran Thi Dieu’s family to have the opportunity to change their lives. From now on their family will not have to live in poverty, with thatched roof. After the parents received news that Tu Bi Foundation helped with the home. The parents gave more land so they can build a more spacious house.
Sincerely thank our benefactor from France, for helping this program to be successful. The family would like to appreciate this precious merit and dedicate prayer to for Pham Chi Ton be reborn in a peaceful world.
Afterward we have returned to visit Tu Bi Kindergarten #2 to donate library books to preschool students.
Best regards
Tu Bi Foundation
