Tên quyển sách, nói đủ là LỤC TỔ ĐẠI SƯ PHÁP BẢO ĐÀN KINH, nói gọn là PHÁP BẢO ĐÀN KINH. Thông thường, theo Phật giáo, Kinh là chỉ những lời dạy của đức Phật do đệ tử ghi lại. Nếu chư vị Bồ-tát hay chư Tổ sau này viết sách thì gọi là Luận, còn những vị Thiền sư thuyết giảng rồi đệ tử ghi chép lại thì gọi là Ngữ lục.

Movie: Daughter from Danang

In 1975, with the end of the war in Vietnam imminent, Mai Thi Kim, a poor, young Vietnamese woman, sent her seven-year-old daughter to America as part of a controversial evacuation program known as "Operation Babylift." The parting was devastating to both mother and child, but Kim believed her Amerasian daughter--the product of a brief love affair with an American Navy officer--would be in danger in Vietnam. The little girl was adopted by a single woman, renamed Heidi and brought up in Tennessee where she concealed her Asian past and became "101%" American. Twenty-two years later, Heidi tracked down her birth mother and visited Danang. The reunion that had raised so many hopes and expectations for Heidi and Kim, quickly became rife with tension and misunderstanding as the cultural gulf between Heidi and her Vietnamese family grew larger and larger.
This important, heart wrenching film speaks to the dislocating experiences of immigrant families the world over and points to the lasting, and at times, invisible wounds inflicted by a conflict that ended more than two decades ago.
