FROM HEART TO HEART
Subsequent to The Psychology of Caodaists, the present free, thin booklet is another modest-but-positive contribution to initially shaping a series of interdisciplinary essays which might be used as expedient references, especially when the Caodai Missionary Holy Assembly’s Academy has already been set up in Đà Nẵng city and it is endeavouring to introduce some specific subjects such as the Caodai philosophy, English for Caodai studies, etc. while the Caodai literature on these academic realms still seems to be too meagre.
I sincerely express my deep gratitude to Tú Đoàn, a sophisticated teaching colleague of mine, who helped proofread my English manuscript and adjust my words.
I am wholeheartedly grateful to all respectable donors of the Programme of Joining Hands for Free Caodai Publications, whose noble generosity enables thousands of these copies to reach your hands.
I beg Master to bestow great favour upon my benefactors, their ancestors and relatives as well.
Namo Caodai the Immortal Mahabodhisattva Mahasattva.
