It is the story of my life that was quite eventful. I recount it in twenty four letters telling the true stories that I was either the witness or the player leading to the defeat of my country to the communist due to personal ambitions or caprices. The happy ending for me and my family was our last minute evasion to the United States of America where the American Dream became the reality for us. It was an excellent story for the second and third Vietnamese American generations in their quest to know the reason why their fathers and grandfathers were here.

"Một cái tâm không chánh niệm cũng như vậy. Ở chỗ này một chút, chỗ kia một tẹo, không bao giờ đàng hoàng, quang minh chính đại. Một cái tâm như vậy sẽ gặp rất nhiều nguy hiểm từ các đối tượng bất thiện, tham, sân, ngã mạn..v.v.. Nếu tâm bạn được sống trong ngôi nhà chánh niệm, nó sẽ được an toàn, được bảo vệ chu đáo và tránh khỏi mọi hiểm nguy. Nó sẽ có được sự ổn định và phẩm giá con người."

Popular religion in southern Vietnam is so often regarded as an indefinable mix of many different beliefs, meanings and symbols with little pattern of explanation. In contrast, this book highlights that the beliefs of the Vietnamese can be catagorized into four distinct, yet overlapping, spheres and that the varying attitudes which exist towards the spirit world are a direct result of unique historical and environmental circumstances. Vietnamese Supernaturalismexamines a wide range of religious customs, from trancer possession practices to styles of self-cultivation, against several different backgrounds including, migration settlement and the effect of colonialism. Despite the ostensible differences within the practices of 'popular religion', Thien Do controversially demonstrates two consistent similarities: an abiding interest in the altered state of consciousness and the daily acts of survival employed in order to evade identity construction. By brining together oral histories, reports and fiction writing alongside more conventional documented sources, this book reveals an area of history which has been largely neglected. It will prove to be a valuable resource to students of Asian studies, anthropology and all of those with an interest in the history of Vietnam.
